A boss is somebody who know the vision, for instance,
like Steve Jobs. Right.
He created the iPhone all right,
but I'm pretty sure he don't know like,
like how to really make an iPhone.
He knows what he want the iPhone to do.
He knew how he wanted to look.
I feel like I might not,
not do all the things at the, take me to where I need to be,
but I know where I need to be.
Like, I know where I need to be at
and I know why I need to be there.
So, a boss is somebody like,
who really like know the vision,
like who know that in the end result, like the end vision.
I don't put too much thought into nothing.
I go off of my emotions.
I really be going off of my day-to-day shit
and go in the studio and let my feelings out that way.
I just told M.A like, "Yo, we gotta do one for Brooklyn,
we gotta go viral."
She was like, "Aight, let's do it." she was on point with everything.
Sent the song back ASAP, she handles her business,
but I get it.
Like she a Aries, we both Aries so it's different.
We been kinda like connecting for a little,
little while before that.
I'm just trying to decide like how we was going, you know,
bring a song to the city one time.
It was either he was going to be on my record
or I was going to be on his record.
You know what I mean? Either, or.
I know he just happened to hit me randomly.
It was like, yo, I got one for you.
I need you on this joint. And you know,
as soon as I heard it, you know, it was automatic.
It was like yeah, let's go.
Money is not my God, money is my server.
So, it's not like I'm, I worship the the money
but I use it to get where I need to be.
I don't care about it, but you need it.
You need it to move around.
And that was where we see like,
who got the most drive, like, who gonna,
who would do it when it's not just handed to you. Shit,
I don't wish down on nobody.
But damn, that shit wasn't handed to me at all.
Like I had to work hard for shit.
Like niggas have realized that.
I feel like, before Covid, I was a little hot.
I was aight. Now I've got way more songs to perform.
I come out with some shit. Like,
I feel like it's going to be better.
At first, I really didn't miss it.
But now that I wasn't doing it for a while,
I really miss it. I fell in love,
I fell, I fell in love with it,
it made me feel alive.
Like it gave me, it's like,
it's like the funnest
moment of my night.
It's all my songs.
But I mean, like, I could do that shit all day.
Certain things, if I do fuck up, it's like damn,
I fucked up. You get me?
I don't even make shit like that, happened to me one time.
I always try to be the best. Look back at my old self.
I feel like you should always try to better
than your old self.
This is my strongest tool, my brain.
I got my brain, I can always think.
You gotta get a game plan every time.
And I don't trust nobody.
I've been in the grimiest places,
People gonna cross you, so it's better like,
I have somebody, like, that's loyal to you
instead of somebody who loves you.
'cause it's a thin line between love and hate.
And when you love somebody so much,
you got higher expectations of how they should treat you,
right?
So, it might make you hate them.
When you see that they not treating you how, I mean,
you think they should treat you.
Niggas will smile at your face, stab you in your back.
Like, niggas give dap to shoot you back with the same way,
niggas are lyin, niggas will do all type of shit.
I try to stay outta that light.
I've been in the trenches
I know, like I'm from an environment that is...
I know all the dirtiest, grimiest people.
I got a mind of my own, like
I mean, I still came out the shit differently.
I came out the shit differently just because
you live in the world, or I mean you gotta be of the world.
I put my mind somewhere else and I ended up somewhere else.
You know what I mean?
I feel like a loss is only like when
you don't get back up on your two feet.
You know what I mean, when you allow it to kinda like,
take over like, and you just literally just fall off.
You know what I mean, I feel like that's a loss.
I feel like like every L is a W to me honestly,
because you gotta take Ls to get Ws.
You know what I mean,
two Ls make a W, feel me?
You might go through some losses
but you ain't gonna never take that, you know what I mean?
You ain't gonna accept that, you gonna keep it pushing,
you gonna keep it moving.
I still play my cards, right.
I still you know, have my money.
You know what I mean?
In, in the best position, you know what I mean?
I'm not out here, splurging.
Like I make sure I do it the right way.
And I got a good team that make sure of that as well.
You know what I mean?
It's just all who you surround yourself with really,
and I tell people that all the time,
it's really the people you surround yourself with.
You can be who you is all day long,
but if you don't got the right people around you,
it's going to drain you.
I definitely meditate. That's why that,
that line was even able to come up ASAP.
I don't need nobody to just, you know what I mean?
Come start some bullshit with me. You know what I mean?
Cause I'm really, you know,
I could really get into a phase where I become,
I can become a little angry and act out,
but I don't want to get on that level.
I got too much to lose. You know what I mean?
So it's like, I prayed that
nothing like that happened because
I'm not that time and I'm not looking for that.
You know what I mean?
But you know, sometimes push comes to shove.
You got to handle, handle your business.
If it gets too out of hand.
A lot of people that ain't from New York
and don't understand that the airports,
you know what I mean?
Like they, they ain't really catch that line too much.
You know, John F. Kennedy is a big,
the biggest airport in New York city.
So, you know, of course that went over a lot of peoples heads that wouldn't understand that,
but the city know what it is. The song is for the city.
So if you ain't, if you from the town,
you know exactly what I meant. Like, come on, man.
The best advice I can give now,
because honestly I don't even,
I don't even have the best advice for myself. Well, I do,
but I don't, because we really struggling
with what's going on in the world. You know what I mean?
Everything done went to a pause and complete stop.
Like we actually doing a virtual video right now
with Genius.
Like about like we usually pull up to the office
and cameras, action, ready! You know what I mean?
So this is all new. This is all new.
Even though we know how to do the whole FaceTime thing,
but this is different. You know,
only advice I can say to everybody is just like
continue to make music because digital was gonna always,
is obviously the, the only thing that's
consistently the same and consistently moving.
People are going to consistently listen to music
probably even more now.
So I just, all I can say is just
consistently drop music.
Best thing you can do is be a better you,
like go hard
as you.
People,
like you,
know what I mean, like,
whoever like you, like you.
Whoever don't like you, don't like you yet.
Know what I mean?
That don't mean that you gotta be like another person.
Be a better you and go hard.
