I had wrote my wife a song about just regular stuff, and then I let her hear it.
And she was like, "The song is good, of course," 'cause I made it, but she ain't like it. And she
was telling me, "This could be better, this could be better," it was making me so tight. So I said,
let me write song about me and try to see what happens. I went in the bathroom,
smoked our last blunt, all me, didn't even care, locked the door, and I wrote "Quicksand".
Of course I didn't know what it was, and how I came up, it was just like, I put my life in it,
and I wasn't used to that. I was always making what I thought other people wanted to hear,
so when I finally started realizing, let me just do me and be who I am, "Quicksand" happened.
The support is crazy, the support from my city, from my team,
from Pick Six, from Mo, it's crazy. Even the fans, I can't even believe I got fuckin' fans,
but, the fact that people will write me and say, "Yo, your shit is poppin.'" I'm a inspiration,
that's why I'ma keep makin' music, 'cause I love hearing that shit. The more I help them
is the more I'm makin' music. I love that vibe, I just love that shit, I just love it.
"Quicksand " is a terminology that we all can relate to. We all go through things in life where you feel like
you may be sinkin' at your lowest point, or you may be at a level where you probably
can't get out of. And we all go through that same thing, and that song was just sayin' that
I was in quicksand. I'm out of it now, I smile every day because I know what that quicksand is really like.
Now when I say Betty Crocker, it was like I pretty much had to fend for myself,
so everything I learned was through myself, through the streets, and learnin' how to handle
different conversations, and handle different people, and cook for myself, and clean for myself,
and take care of myself, and sometimes I was bad at it. But seeing other older heads, which is my
Betty Crocker's, do shit in the game, taught me to be me, they taught me how to bake that cake.
Watchin' their mistakes, doin' it better than them or makin' the same mistakes, to learn the lesson
they learned. The streets and my old heads taught me everything I needed to know. That's a fact.
I was a only child, so my mom really had to work a lot. So,
she couldn't give me the things that normal people would have. Having those ripped jeans,
I really had 'em, they were ratty, they were dirty, and people used to give me clothes.
My homebody JJ, I was losing weight, he used to give me his skinny jeans 'cause that's all he had
to give me, and I was fucking chubby with skinny ass jeans on. But it was new to me. So, like,
that hit home a lot, every time I hear it, 'cause it remind me of where I came from.
A lot of good things happen in bad situations. Sometimes you take a shot on the court and good thing it
missed. You know what I mean? Sometimes you make a decision that you glad somebody else fucked up, so
you couldn't go. That's what I mean. A lotta things that I could have ruined my life with,
didn't happen the way it was supposed to. And that is, like I said, a blessing, 'cause I am so glad
I'm here, 'cause I shouldn't be, honestly.
I've been through a lot. And I have a lot of physical
scars, but I also have a lot of internal wounds as well. When you come from a place where I have,
a lot of the heart wounds don't heal the way they 'posed to, so it's kinda hard to,
You know what I mean, feel the same way that other people feel.
So, I was chillin' with one of my home girls, I ain't gonna say no names, I didn't know she
had a nigga come through the crib, I didn't even know boy was comin', I don't think she
did either. Boy knocked on the door, I guess it was open, slid upstairs and caught me with
his chick. Boy wanted to mix, so, you know the vibes, I'm mixin' you, it is what it is,
I don't care 'bout none of that, don't let this fat shit fool you, boy. So I had to slide him,
he called his homie, and I slid his homie too. Fuck is you talkin' about? Two slides, one day,
great night. On me.
The dude that he called, I was actually cool with at a point time, but because
they were cool too, I guess he chose his side. So it was like, bet, nigga you chose your side, I
chose my side and you got mixed with him. Fuck it, gave him a smoothie. It is what it is.
When I was scrappin' and no cap, when you beat a bull and he look in your eyes, you take his spirit,
your life is flat now, there's nothing you can do, I just took your spirit from you. That's all
you gotta do, and niggas don't understand, I ain't even gotta be the most gangsta nigga in the world,
I'ma take your spirit. That's really it, I'ma smile at you and then take your spirit. And that's
what I did, his life was in my hands, lookin' at me like, "I can't believe he just whooped my ass."
I know he hate it, I know he hate it.
I'm coming to get it. I don't care if I gotta go through you, I don't care if I gotta go around
you, I don't care if I gotta go with you, but I'm coming to get it, that's a fact. I'm so hungry for
everything, and I'ma keep being hungry, even when my plate is full, 'cause it's not enough.
I love to jig, that's one thing, my fat boy jig is okay, I ain't gonna lie to ya.
I may not be a dancer, but my fat boy jig is lit. On God, it's lit.
