Well, this man, he DM me,
He's like, "Yo', let's work," exchange numbers
and then this man sent me like four,
like it was like four songs.
Just the beats were just different.
You know what I'm saying?
The beat tab is like, "Yo' Cochise."
You know what I'm saying?
(Snot chuckles)
I was like, "Shit, this is some different shit."
You feel me?
This one beat was like boom, boom, boom, boom.
Yo', I got to get on this, you know what I'm saying?
It went crazy.
Not a lot of people know this.
This song was supposed to be like a throw-away?
- Yeah, yeah.
- It was meant to be a throw-away and then--
- 100%.
- This might be a throw-away.
The TikTok warriors just came through, you know,
and it started going stupid.
Dancing and shit, you know?
Doing all that, like that shit fire.
I mean, I knew it was a hit from the start,
you know what I'm saying,
but I didn't know TikTok was going to be like ridiculous.
- Yo' Cochise, a weh dem a seh?
I would say they call it an artist tag.
It's something that I do.
I be having to finagling, you know,
at the beginning of a track
to make 'em know what's popping, you know?
What's Gucci.
You know, me, yeah?
I didn't want everybody that's not of color
to call me nigga at stage and be like,
yeah, nigga turn me up.
So, I was like you know what?
Let me make it more, you know, family-friendly,
so everybody can say it.
You know me, ah?
Family-friendly type of guy,
so I make sure everybody can kind
of dibble and dabble with it,
so we can all say it together in unison.
I be listen to a lot of Beethoven to turn me up,
so I be in the car going crazy.
Beethoven, Mozart, Bach.
I be going crazy to it, I promise you.
You know what I mean?
It turns you up, it makes you just...
The bass to it is just magnificent.
I mean, I'm going to be honest with you, bruh,
I just thought about the first word
that came to my mind and pull up.
I don't even hit the gym.
I'm going to be honest with you.
I'm going to get a gym membership soon.
Also, when that old nigga was
was in the balloon with the little,
you know what I mean?
When they was up.
That movie fire!
I can't even pick a favorite person.
I'd be calling everybody as a selective.
Sometimes I be calling my mom, sometimes bro'.
Like, what we doing?
I'm at the grocery store with moms.
What are you going to do, fight me?
Do I look corny shopping with my mom.
You know what I mean?
Are you going to press me about it?
So, you know, I'm going to call up bro'.
That's bro', she bro'.
That's game.
Mom's just game, so you know, I'm going to call her up.
No, I got a family member with a Benz
and pulling up with that thing,
you're looking crazy, you're looking fire.
You know what I mean?
Now, when I pull off in a Benz,
depends on the occasion, you know what I mean?
I can purchase a Benz,
but do I want to purchase one right now?
I don't feel like it.
To be honest, I recorded this in my room,
so I was talking to myself the whole time.
Sounds pretty sad, but, you know what?
I'm used to it.
We all do it.
Don't make me seem like I'm left out.
I was like, what's up?
It's on.
You know what I mean?
That's how you could do it.
Just like that.
You just stare at yourself in the mirror
and sing them lyrics, you're going to turn
into Morgan Freeman, I promise you.
I'm going to be honest with it, it rhymed.
I was like, "Yeah, this is hard."
I don't do it.
If it's a drug, then I don't do it, so I didn't lie.
See, my main thing about music is like I don't want to lie.
When it comes down to the Feds,
you know what I'm talking about.
You know what I mean?
You know what I'm talking about.
I was dead-ass thinking of like a picture.
It's like an acid trip or something,
you know what I'm saying?
Like they just took a fucking acid trip or,
you know, some crazy-ass drug.
The beat's going boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
Feel it in my system.
Come into my head.
It's just, it was just a vibe
when I'm in the studio, you know what I'm saying?
The first time where I felt like a boss,
when I bought my car with this rap shit, this rap money.
It was the first time I ever felt like a boss.
I paid for my parents' bills.
I didn't even have bills.
I ain't got shit.
I just be paying my parents' bills.
That's when I felt like a boss.
It was a important because,
you know how your parents want the best for you,
when they hear like, "Oh, I want to be a rapper,"
they're like, "What the fuck?"
You trying to be a doctor, a lawyer.
Like, "You don't want to be no fucking rapper."
You make money off this rap shit and they're like,
"Oh shit," like you can financially take care
of yourself on it.
That's all that matters, you know?
When you're rapping, you ain't killing nobody.
I don't like to be on the stage because,
bro', when you're on the stage,
people just, they just stand there and look at you like...
They get lit for the hook they're like, "Yeah!"
You know, the hook?
Then once you start with the verse,
it's like yo', like they don't know shit.
You feel me?
Because, the verse is just the sit down and listen
and then the hook is to, you know, get you hooked on
and that's what they like, that's what they know.
Even in the festivals, they be hot as fuck.
Niggas be tired of shit and I still got a hoodie.
You know what I'm saying?
They still going crazy.
There ain't no reason for nobody to be getting tired.
They get in the fucking moshpit, go crazy.
Plus, I be fucking up my lyrics, you know what I'm saying?
So, when I'm in the pit, nobody really knows shit.
If you forget your lyrics, artists,
jump in the mosh pit and just start jumping around.
I feel like Tony Montana like,
you know what I'm saying?
I just feel like that dude,
so when I'm recording my song,
I just felt like that.
Nigga, you got the stick, trying to blitz shit.
That's exactly how I felt.
Like the, "Pick him up, throw him and watch his body drop,"
when I was singing that lyric,
that reminded me of Dragon Ball Z, you know?
You know when them characters pick 'em up
in the air and they just watching their body drop
like 10,000 feet
down to the ground, you know?
Look, it's all right to rap,
but sometimes you don't need to rap about the blicks.
You don't need to rap about the sticks.
Now, I was talking about like mitts like
he ain't got hands like that.
Don't lie to me.
He ain't got no hands.
I'm talking about just so much things.
That dude is capping about chips.
He ain't getting his bread.
He ain't getting his cheddar.
What are you talking about, huh?
You know, dip, dip just rhymed.
You know what I mean?
So, it's like...
And then, I just keep babbling on so I'm like whatever.
You know me, a guy like me,
baby, I'm getting this cheddar.
You know what I mean?
So,
it goes hand-in-hand.
I just pray a lot.
I really thank God.
I wouldn't be in this situation
if I didn't have God with me.
I wouldn't be here if I didn't have God with me
and it's like you got to thank God for the ups and downs
because the downs is always for a reason,
so it's like even when I'm feeling worse,
I'm going to feel better eventually,
so you just got to carry it on.
Sometimes I feel like, you know what I mean?
I don't need to do too much.
I don't feel like, you know, creating more bars
for people not to understand,
so I'm going to just repeat something
so you can understand that.
You know, when I repeat it,
you know, the foot is in the pudding.
The macaroni is in the cheese.
The plate is in the microwave.
So, you know, I'm making sure
that everything is fire, straight.
Yo', niggas had to skedaddle.
He had to get up out of there.
You know what I mean?
And, get the foot in the pudding,
the macaroni in the cheese,
the plate in the microwave.
You see what I'm saying?
The corn is already on the cob.
The foot is in the sock.
You know what I mean?
The hands are on the bat.
So, yeah.
You know me.
