I ain't even wanna drop "Time Today" first,
I had "Hard For The Next"
and "Time Today",
I was like, I'ma go "Hard For The Next",
because it's one of them joints
I know gon' be out of here,
like one of them, Pluto records.
Gotti and 'em were like,
"Nah, you got to put it, I'm telling you
like you gotta step, keep your foot on the neck.
Like once you got them against the ropes
you got keep swinging, you gotta put,
you already finished 'em.
You head shotted 'em with "Said Sum,"
now you gotta come back
and might overkill 'em with "Time Today,"
so I, I did that, you know I'm sayin'?
I feel like it was just so convenient because the moment,
what was going on, everybody was saying it.
I actually had two different songs.
I had like this song, like the chorus,
"I don't like. I don't like,"
that part right there.
I actually rapped that part in the car,
like in 2016, and the clip,
the lil' clip I rapped in the car, I never dropped it.
I just rapped it in the car.
The clip went viral like me saying it to people,
like, "This a mood, this forever moods."
I'm like, "Damn, like I need to go back
and spice that up."
A lot of stuff I addressed it on "Time Today,"
I feel like I had to address it
because it was your question marks
in the air like, "What's up with this, what's this,
how much he get for a show, what's this, like?"
Just different stuff, so you get what I'm sayin?
So I just feel, I want to lay it all on the line with that.
When I ain't doing good, when nothing ain't going right
in the person life you're going be able to see like,
who really right there for you.
But, then when you get on and you get
to going and you popping and everything lit up,
you see other people coming in, they just trying to be cool,
and they trying to do this,
but you just wasn't tryna do this.
Like you could and been reached out to a person
on your up come, like, while you coming up,
reached, reached out to a certain artist
they don't recognize you.
But then when your song
and everything get to making noise
and everything going crazy, they'll hit back,
"Yo, this crazy, been fuckin' wit you,
been fuckin' wit you since this."
But why you, how you been fuckin' with me since then,
and you just now getting back with me
when "Time Today" popping, you feel what I'm sayin?
So it be like, "Hate be so real, love be fake, man."
Like just gotta stay focused through this.
Like I'm a stepper, like I'm gon' step,
if it's, when necessary though fasho.
We gon' push when it's necessary, but we ain't
just gon', we ain't there like hot headed,
we ain't gon' do that.
But we might have the same Jordan's on.
Like all these Jordans got the same release date.
We both got them on,
but you ain't stepping how I'm stepping.
You feel me?
That shit you put out, you coulda kept,
like where, you coulda kept that,
you coulda just, go back in the kitchen,
recook it, rethink about what you wanna do,
and revisit this situation.
I was in the booth and I was in one of em' modes,
to where like, boom, damn, I got to that part
and I couldn't really think of nothin'.
And then I went on Twitter
and I looked at out that tweet,
I said: "Shit, that's me anyway."
I might as well put it in the song,
"You can't compete, when you can't compare."
So I'm just gon' keep it raw,
that's how I really put that in there.
When I tweeted it, like a week before I did the song,
I meant what I said, like,
but I just wasn't in one of them modes,
you know what I'm sayin'?
If you ain't popping, if you ain't got nothing going,
they not gon' make no memes about you.
Everybody ain't gon' be perfect on they pictures,
You get what I'm saying?
So, you're going to have a little flawed pictures
and then they're going to take that
and make it like what you think he was looking at when he,
you know what I'm sayin'?
Like did that.
Or when I look at this, this how I look,
you get what I'm sayin'? You know how the memes go.
If I had to pick anywhere out, to fly in the world
it probably will be Dubai,
or somewhere over there in that area, across the water
because it's just beautiful
and it's peace of mind, it's just relaxing,
just get you a, just a vibe.
And then everybody ain't on what,
people over here on,
but at the same time, it do make you appreciate America more
when you go over there because there's certain limitations,
on certain things,
and you know, we free we can do what really,
do whatever we want to do,
so it makes you appreciate, appreciate America more,
but at the same time, it's good for a vacation
to go over there a couple a days a week, maybe.
You know what I'm sayin'?
And just vibe.
At this point right now in my life, they,
I added another dollar.
I'm getting another book,
I put another book on top of,
but, there was there where I was a point in my life,
at that point, I was gettin' the Quavo Huncho,
it was a good feeling.
I couldn't believe it at first, like,
because it's like when you'd be stuck,
at a certain number so long,
you can't see that far ahead.
You get what I'm sayin'?
So, when it happened and they hit me like, I was like,
"Bro, how we can't get 'em over here,
I got 225." 225, what?!
Just to pull up a hour and just, 45 minutes
just kick it, just vibe, to just do what I love to do,
anyway, just rock with the fans?
That's love.
Sometimes I get in that mode, bruh,
I just feel like, I don't like nobody.
90% of the world liked it.
Like, because they embraced the song,
like I don't like nobody, I don't give a,
like whatever you with, male, female, whatever gender, like,
it don't matter, like, I don't like you, like.
At this point, I don't like you.
You have some points, it be like that.
That don't mean like you don't rock with a certain person,
you ain't doing that, you just,
everybody go through them modes and them moments.
You'll see something, you be like,
"Man, should I, I ain't finna say nothin',
I don't know what they finna try to do, a screenshot
go up, send this to the motherfucker, I'm good."
I ain't on that time.
What girl wants somebody broke?
You wouldn't even want your daughter to talk
to nobody broke, bruh.
I don't want my daughter talking to no broke dude.
Money wasn't straight, she wouldn't be here,
I'm just telling you real life,
like this really what going on.
100, one, zero, zero, is a Huncho.
That's a lil' nickname for it,
we call it a Hunnid, Huncho, Honey Bun,
all that, that's, that's what that is.
In this particular bar I thought about it,
I said, "Huncho, cost you a Quavo to book me."
Quavo Huncho, it just made sense.
It's Quavo Huncho,
and I get a Huncho,
at that time I was getting a Huncho for a show,
so it made perfect sense.
They were calling me William.
They had lil' memes about me and William.
I can't unsee it.
I can't, like, different stuff like this,
So I said, "Okay, guess what?
What ya'll wan' do?" I told my folks anyway
like when I first coming up
with the treatment to "Time Today"
I told mah'fucks, I'm putting,
I wanna go get the real William
from 'Girlfriends' in this video.
But at the time, it ain't meet, it ain't match up,
so boom, I went on and did it myself
and just, you know, turned a negative
to a positive right quick.
For those who are a little behind,
a SRT is somethin' fast, it's sporty, it's the cars,
it's the young nigga cars, it's everybody,
like all the young dudes, they want to be in these cars.
Hellcat, Scat Pack, you know what I'm sayin'?
Redeye, red key.
Redeye like the demon,
You got the demon.
You know what I'm sayin'?
It's different, like versions
and different levels to the car.
You know what I'm sayin'?
But if you, you want to go fast,
you crank it up with the red key.
If you want to go slow,
or you want to cruise, you want to be cool, cordial,
you crank it up with the black key.
You know what I'm sayin'?
So I go, red key, 'cause this what's going on.
That's the trend.
That's what it is.
That's how everybody want to drive.
They want to drive fast, you feel me?
Everybody ain't gon' like you,
everybody ain't gon think you cute,
everybody ain't gon' think you look a certain way.
Everybody got their own opinion about people,
so I was like, one day I was just seeing lil' comments
and it was 'round the time I was making this song.
This, I had "Time Today",
though I'm telling you, like, I was making a song
and boom, I just took the, I took the concept.
After I said that, I went back and listened to myself,
I said, "Man, this some stuff like Biggie gon' keep it G,
like Biggie gon' keep it G, like, might be ugly,
but my bitch pressure,"
you get what I'm sayin'?
Like, that's something Biggie'll say.
Dude had went viral for like,
"I got time today, cuz'."
The lil' dude, he went viral,
he had went viral with it.
So, and then it like people just saying it, like
I just was seeing, like, tweets and different stuff, like,
it was like, it had an effect on the culture.
So I was just like, I need to go on and do that, like
and with the other stuff they were going viral with me.
