I got options in women.
I got options in cars.I got options in clothes.
I got options in life, period.
Coming up from the bottom.
Like, "yeah y'all seen me like that, but what y'all finna say now", "I'm livin like this".
"I'm gettin 50 a show, how y'all feel about that"?
"What y'all gon say"?
Everybody gonna ask how I got a J.Cole verse, I already know that's coming.
But, it happened so organically.
We was in the same studio.
I come out the hallway, I'm goin to use the bathroom, I bump into him and boom.
I go in his room, we choppin it up.
I'm like, "I'm a huge fan".
And then I tell him, "Aye, yo I'm finna go in here, I'm workin on my first album".
"I would like you to really be a part of it".
But I didn't think he was gonna come over there for real.
He was like "I got you".
So as soon as I went over there, he was two, three, minutes behind me.
So, he came in, he was like "let me hear what you got".
So I played some records, and I was tryin to play something that fit him.
But when I played it, he was like "Nah I'm not gonna lie, that's a good song, they gonna
rock with that, but that ain't what I'm lookin for".
He was like, "I wanna come in your world".
He sat down and wrote it, he actually had like eight bars.
But I guess, he probably thought I expected, a 12 or 16.
So, when he rapped it out loud to me, he was like "man, this all I got".
I was like "I'm cool with that, go on in there and lay that".
It's just a pleasure having him on the song.
Every other day, I'm in yo city.
L.A, Houston, Dallas, Baltimore, D.C, and I can keep going.
They just show me real love, like I'm in Memphis.
It was a lot of people that felt like I wasn't gonna make it.
There was a lot of people tellin me, "man this ain't for you, what you doin"?
All that, but I kept pushing, I kept going, I stayed focused.
You can’t tell me that.
You in the same position I'm in, how you finna tell me I can't make it?
When I rap, I'm really tellin the truth.
I'm saying what the other people scared to say.
Like the other artists, and other rappers they scared to say.
I'm just raw and uncut.
A1 you ain't finna get nothin like that.
It's this dude, that be comin through.
I think his name Jerk king.
Whenever I'm in the studio, he come through, serve me a real platter, it be love.
And I actually had a Cuban joint in the studio with me.
So, she motivated me.
If you average, you basic, and I touch you, and I affiliate myself with you, your stock.
Federal mean, like goin crazy.
You bought this new whip, that's federal.
That's fed.
You got a bad bitch with you, she fed.
Male groupies.
I don't know.
I couldn't do it.
I mean, it's cool to be a fan of a person, and rock with a person.
But all that, doing the stuff that women do, no.
I expect that from women.
I probably got like, $250 on, like quarter on.
That's without the charms.
Never do no sucker shit for attention or none of that.
Just stay you.
The people gotta accept you for you.
Don't never get out yo character, just cause, "I gotta album comin out, I gotta say this,
to get this type of attention", nah just be you.
