The whole song was kind of contradictory.
Like I’m saying, “I’m never gonna talk to my exes."
"I don’t need any closure."
"I don’t wanna talk to them at all.”
But the whole song is kind of to my exes.
It is to my exes.
In the album art, I know a lot of people see like a door.
They see Winslow’s door from ‘Catdog’ or whatever that shits from.
It was originally the Fuck You artwork.
It was supposed to be a finger but I saw a lock on it and I felt like, “Lock that shit
down yo.”
It’s a done deal.
Family closed.
It’s great that I have a voice and an influence on the whole world but the most important
people that I’m talking to has to be my family.
The bigger they are, the more people they can impact.
It’s not even about a specific ex.
Like it’s like, “Luckily, my ex ugly” is like just me saying my past life, my everything
that got me to here, it wasn’t shit.
Don’t see me and come up to me and rub the side of my arm.
I’m not trying to be on bad terms with anybody but you got to keep a respect level of how
you deal with anybody that might be an outside influence on your personal and integrable relationship.
Just like I found the right thing that I was supposed to be doing all along which was actually
somebody that I’ve known my whole life.
I hope that everybody finds that.
I kind of just wanted to illustrate the fucking
‘Lion King’ horizon sun like right before it comes up.
It’s dark and then you get the best things after heartbreak.
When it becomes over so many small symbolic things, materialistic things, you can put
a lot of energy into trying to get that back.
But really what you want back is the feeling, you know?
You want your shit back but really, you want your love back and sometimes
you just gotta let it go.
All my exes do know that they look better than me.
I’m a funny looking guy but I’m rich as fuck though.
The idea is that like once I get to Heaven, I know I’m gonna be running to my wife.
And if I was to make the same mistake that I made in this life while searching for her,
looking at all these different faces trying to find the one, if I mess up, we’ll get
married again.
I’ma find her.
I’ma find you wherever you are ‘cause we’re… spirits are supposed to be together forever.
And if you get married to the wrong dude, me and the homies are gonna beat his ass.
My mom used to always say and people in Chicago I think just say, “You ret?"
"You ret to go?"
It’s like, “You ready?”
The bible says, “Children born to young parents are like arrows in the hands of warriors.”
The more kids you have, the stronger your family will be.
And that was something I learned after I had Kinsley and kind of learned to understand
like…
I do want a big family.
I do want to create my lineage and my legacy through the same mama and same dad the whole time.
And no matter how tired I get, I gotta understand that that’s my job and my duty and the most
positive thing that I can be doing for myself and the rest of the world.
