The inspiration for the song and actually what made me write "Walking Trophy," I was
in the house just working out and I was like, "I'm really a walking trophy!"
I started feeling myself.
But I was like, “It's not just about me.
It's other females out there that's walking trophies too!
And we in a time where everything is so negative, that I just wanted to bring something positive
to the table.
When I write, I hear a melody in my head.
I went straight to writing at home and then I called my producer like
"We need to get this record done now!"
So I call him with the hook.
He's like, "Alright, lemme hear what you got."
So I was like, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah."
Automatically he was like, "Let's go!"
We started making the beat on the FaceTime, and then we went to the studio and finished
it up.
My version of a walking trophy is a woman with confidence.
A woman that knows she's beautiful without men having to tell her.
You should be able to look in the mirror and be like, "I look pretty today,” without
having to go outside and get a compliment.
To me, that's a walking trophy.
Walking trophy is a strong, powerful woman.
Beauty is not just on the outside.
It's not just how you look.
It's not what you got on.
Beauty is on the inside too.
I've seen people on Instagram, whether it's celebrities, whether it's just regular people
Instagram famous people.
And on Instagram I fell in love with their personality, but when I met them in person
they was totally different.
Like you're not beautiful in real life.
Your personality sucks.
That was the whole trick to it.
It wasn't just pretty.
It wasn't just the physical.
It was the mental.
Y'all call it Christmas lights, but in Jamaica we say "peppa light," which is the lights
on the Christmas tree.
You can come in here all Gucci’d out.
All Louis’d out, and you just don't got that.
You just don't got that swag.
Another dude or another female could come in here with a whole H&M outfit, a whole Zara
outfit for $30, $20, and the swag, the confidence is there.
I got three pairs of jeans from Fashion Nova and let me tell you something, as crazy as
it sounds I did not take them off.
Fashion Nova just does something to the curve, to the booty.
Pretty girls not arguing with broke girls.
See people say money don't change nothing right?
But it could fix things.
When you're broke you find so much time, you got so much time on your hand.
When you got it, you don't need to deal with none of that.
I'm not arguing with a broke person, ‘cause you got a lot of problems.
Every day I'm a woman crush.
I get that every day.
I get tags.
Tags through my week.
Tags pon Monday, tags pon Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, seven days of the week.
Not just pon Wednesday.
I have a natural body, but also I still love and respect a woman that gets her body done.
If there's something that you don't like, and you can fix it, and you have the money
why not?
If there is something on my body that I don't like, and I could fix it, and I have the money
why not?
You need some strength.
Some of them have no strength.
Their body pop down.
They don't wanna go to the gym.
They don't wanna do nothing.
It's like, a broken piece.
Sometimes you look better without the makeup.
I've had people that tell me, "Hood, I think you're prettier without makeup."
When you start overdoing, anything you overdo, it just becomes ugly.
So I be having to remind my makeup artist sometimes like, "Please, my face is a walking"
"trophy, my face can't over beat and cake up."
Please ladies, you can't get makeup from the regular beauty supply store.
You might get some little cute lip gloss, little cute stuff, but if you want it to look
right? Marc Jacob, all them big name brands.
It can’t be $3, $4, $2 makeup. No.
I switched it in the ending of the song, to say now, "Mi a walking trophy."
I’m a walking trophy, and so is my friends.
