Got my habit from Miss Peachie, smoking roaches, getting lit.
Hi, this is OG Just Peachie, and I'm here breaking down my sunshine's lyrics.
To you, he's Wiz Khalifa.
To me, he's just Cam.
Between the Lines.
Cameron was a really quirky kid.
He was funny, he was smart.
When he said this is what he wants to do, I said, "Hey baby, go ahead and be the best
lil rapper.
I'm going to throw a couple prayers in there.”
I definitely remember the first time that he named checked me in a song.
"With the hunger of Chris Wallace back in '94, I'd like to welcome y'all to rock with
Peachie's youngest boy."
I went bananas when I heard that.
“Flickin' Ashes,” Wiz Khalifa.
Ask my Nini, love her grandson, but she know I'm a trip.
Got my habit from Miss Peachie, smoking roaches, getting lit."
I didn't realize that he said his Nini right before he was talking about me, that's my
mother.
I really made a conscious decision when I decided I would probably be a mom one day,
that I was going to let my kids smoke, because my history with cannabis goes back about 45
years, I've been smoking.
And I've always thought of it as a healing plant for wellness more than recreation.
But I also made a decision that there was going to be some rite of passage things.
So, he was gonna totally and completely have to sneak until he got about 16 or 17.
He and his friends would come over and we would smoke.
I would buy weed off of one of his boys, because back then, the young kids had the good weed.
I’m like, "Oh yeah.
Hell yeah."
So, we used to wake and bake together and he would go to senior year and I would go
and work my government job.
I was worried about him being on the stuff I cannot smell.
That's what I'm worried about young people being on, them cat tranquilizers and shit
and all that Fentanyl and stuff.
The stuff that I can't smell, that's what I'm worried about young people being on, but
if I can smell it, I'm not worried about it.
“Or Nah.”
Heard you not the type that you take home to mom, is we fucking when you leave the club
or nah?
If he like them, I get to meet them.
I'm friends with all his girlfriends still.
Not all, I'm not going to say all, but a lot of the relationships that we've had, I've
built relationships with those women that are separate from his.
We still together and they're not.
“Ink My Whole Body.”
Got so many tats you can't even count them up, in the shop every week, I can't seem to
get enough.
My aunt say my skin too clean to mark it up, but I'ma ink my whole body, I don't give a
mother fuck."
That's his great aunt.
My aunt Leah.
We always talk about how pretty his skin is.
We call him caramel boy, that's our other nickname for him and that's a tribute to how
beautiful his skin is, and she's like, "Caramel boy, your skin's too pretty to be getting
all those tattoos on it."
I asked him please don't get any on his face, he gives no damns about how I feel about that
because you see his face.
I do have my say about it, but...
And he knows I'm going to say something about it.
Only ‘cause I just think he's handsome.
“Landing.”
That's why I got a couple of cribs and every one of them owned.
Shoulda had my Ferrari by now, but now had to give my mother a home.
It was like the first thing he did, too.
January 2012 was when I moved in, because he was like, "Mommy, just sit down.
Just chill."
He doesn't owe me this, but you hope that he would hook it up.
“Green Suicide.”
Just bought a car for my son, put that shit in the garage.
He'll drive it when he's old enough.
I don't know who those cars belong to in his garage.
He got a bunch of them.
I don't ask no grown man what he doing with his money.
The kind of father that he is, is one of the things that I'm most proud of.
They are the best of friends.
He never yells at that young man, he's always patient with him.
“Pay Phone.”
Telling me I changed since I blew up or whatever you call it.
Switched the number to my phone so you never could call it."
I’ve only called him one number for at least two years now.
He had several, but I’m not no snitch.
“B Ok.”
It was 2017, the day before my son birthday.
The week before my mom's birthday.
That's the day you passed away.
Can't feel too bad because I know I'll see you again one day.
But right now, I can't help but feel this pain.
Lala was Cameron's oldest sibling.
The child that made me mommy.
And she suffered from and died from Lymphoma about three years ago.
The last day that Lala was alive, I had to whisk her to the hospital in an ambulance.
Sebastian was having a birthday party that day.
I had to FaceTime Cameron at the party.
We didn't have time.
And I felt awful about having to interrupt the celebration, but glad that they got some
conscious time together.
They got a conscious last moment.
After he recorded it, he let me hear it and let me just bawl my eyes out before it was
released.
So, that I could listen to it with a joyous heart instead of a broken heart.
“Speech.”
16, time to pay the rent in this bitch.
I wasn't even thinking of making millions, I was just thinking, smoking and chilling
and trying to pay the bills.
Trying to get my mom out this building.
That is a little bit of an embellishment.
It might have been 19 or 20, when it was like, "Okay, I got this."
“See You Again.”
How could we not talk about family when family's all we've got?
Everything I went through, you were standing there by my side and now, you're going to
be with me for this last ride.
When I first heard it, I knew it was going to be a big song, it was going to be a big
tribute song.
Every funeral and every separation.
Every time we have to be apart from our loved ones, “See You Again” helps us bridge that.
It wasn't until my oldest died that for a year, I couldn't even watch him perform this.
It's still really, really difficult.
When he did the Kobe tribute, I don't know if anybody else heard it, but because I'm
his mother and I know every hair on his head, I heard his voice crack when he sang that.
And I know that he was thinking about his angel sibling.
“Time.”
Put here to take care of the family.
But how was I supposed to know?
If I don't take care of myself huh, then how am I supposed to grow?
I don't know if you noticed, but his bulking up, his putting on 30 pounds for 30, his health
kick, his getting in touch with his mind, body, spiritual wellness happened immediately
following Lala's passing.
You have to get an understanding and an acceptance about where you are, where you want to go,
where you want to be, and you can't pour from a empty cup.
Out of all the lyrics today, “Flickin' Ashes” was hands down my favorite.
Come on, he was taking my weed.
All that time, I never knew until the song came out.
I love it.
Hip hop is the first music that I’ve seen that’s inter-generational.
We shared a lot of music.
I stomped out a lot of music, like Biggie's crack song.
I stomped out Juicy J's, Three Six Mafia's “Sippin' on Sizzurp.”
It wasn't going to be no sizzurp sipping over here.
Remember they had the baby bottles with the sizzurp in it on the video?
I was like, "Absolutely not."
