The song was supposed to be like a fury of emotions.
Like you regret it, you sad about it.
It's kinda like cocky.
It's just a roller coaster of feeling like every type
of way that you could possibly feel about a person
that song describes it.
You know what I'm saying?
As far as a break, as far as a breakup,
you know what I'm saying?
So I feel like that's why everybody relate to it.
I had just wrote down the five stages
of emotions that I felt like, you know
people go through when they getting over heartbreak.
So that was kind of
like the theme of the whole EP.
"You're mines still," I think that was fear.
That was fear,
'cause it was supposed to be like, you know
you in fear of losing somebody.
You know what I'm saying?
Fear of like what what's going to happen next.
I feel like everybody would want to know that
trying to get like the,
the scoop or how to get Drake on.
Like it's no way you'll ever know like
if Drake gonna write you or not.
He's just gonna write you or he not
but he's just going to reach out,
or he not, like, you know what I'm saying?
It ain't no formula.
He just hit me up on Instagram.
I got back ASAP, shit.
It was actually from like a song I had dropped on my EP
called "Time heals."
It never really like blew up
like I wanted it to blow up, you know what I'm saying?
I gotta try it again,
like I gotta try to put it in another song like that.
Maybe it can be bigger.
So I just kind of used that same concept.
She's so blind still,
like you with somebody else,
but you really don't want to be there.
You really can't see your life without me.
You just going into new waters,
just trying to try something new,
but you really like still unsure,
you still feel like it's love there for me and you.
So she blind still.
Like she can't see her life without me, really.
She just with this guy,
basically to prove a point to me that she can move on.
That she's strong enough to put me in the past.
You know what I'm saying?
After I listened to the song, I just like
it gotta be named "You're mines still,"
You know what I'm saying?
The rhyme scheme and the words,
they just came out my mouth.
Like, I don't know.
I didn't plan it.
I didn't. I'm like, "Oh noticing, noticing."
It just flowed.
Like, I don't know.
I really don't know how I do it, for real.
I want to trade places with him.
I want to be like what he is to her at that moment.
I don't want to move on and find somebody new.
I want to trade places with him.
I want to be that person
that he is to you now, you know what I'm saying?
I just knew it was gonna be a hit.
When I said that line,
when I said, "Don't go build no life without me,"
Like I just knew that
that was just going to hit a chord with everybody.
Like I just, I just knew it was.
Nobody never talks about those situations.
Like somebody else building a life with somebody else
you know what I'm saying?
"Don't go build no life without me,"
that shit deep in your bag of feelings, bro.
If you just send somebody a text
saying, "Don't go build on life without me,"
you gon' shake the room.
You gon' start something there.
I was trying to paint the picture of like, we're starting
and kind of like, you know, this person stepping up.
Well, I haven't stepped up yet.
Tell me you lying, like, you know
you don't really wanna do this type, type thing.
I ain't gonna lie, that shit really toxic, bro.
That shit really toxic.
You know where you want to be, like, stop playing.
You know what I'm saying?
Let me, you know what I'm saying?
Let me beat it up one more time.
The bricks is like the projects, you know what I'm saying?
That was just basically, you know
adding the street edge to it.
You're like, you know what I'm saying?
'cause a lot of people probably thinking it's just such
like a main stream song, like on some rhythm-pop type junk
but it's like, it's letting you know that it's coming
from a artist that's really from the streets,
you know what I'm saying?
Once you say something like that, it's like, "Oh, he,"
you know what I'm saying?
"Oh, he's still, he's still kind of gangster."
You know what I'm saying?
I like that,
"And she heard on somebody that I know her
that I know them type of hoes"
everybody felt that.
Drake knew he had to like get
into, deep into his bag
on a song like that, man.
