- We were thinking about band names
and I wanted a gecko.
Through some sort of error,
I think maybe I entered it in wrong,
maybe it was some kind of error on their end,
but I was sent 100 geckos.
And I was like, "That would be a cool band name."
And Dylan was like, "How 'bout just 100 Gecs?"
The rest is history.
The rest is a fucking vibe.
- Was just starting a bunch of beats for the Minecraft set,
just kind of trying to make some crazy tunes.
I had been using this Logic like slide Dobro sound.
Like this country, fake guitar.
I thought it would be cool to start it out like that
and then go to some super crazy distorted thing.
I was in L.A.
- I was right here.
- With all our songs we just send Logic sessions
back and forth like co-producing and co-writing all of them.
So I just like sent the Logic session
and she fucking went crazy on it.
- I was like, this needs very little.
Hey, you little piss baby.
You think you're so fucking cool?
Huh? You think you're so fucking tough?
I thought that piss baby was like a phrase
that people said online.
Like, I don't know, like shit lord or something.
Like just a innocuous insult, I guess,
which was not the case.
Sorta just like talking about this guy
who I'm pissed at 'cause I was pissed at the time
and I was pissed at several people,
so I had to think of like a fake person
to kinda just lay into.
You talk a lot of big game
for someone with such a small truck.
Aw, look at those arms.
Your arms look so fucking cute.
They look like little cigarettes. I bet I could smoke you.
I could roast you.
This person thinks that he's got a big truck
and he thinks he's sick as fuck
and he thinks he's got big, meaty arms.
None of those things are true.
They're all a falsehood. He made it up.
I thought that it was just about time
to let him know what's up.
And then you'd love it
and you'd text me, "I love you,"
and then I'd fucking ghost you.
I'll tear your heart out.
I'll make you love me and then I'll fucking ghost you.
That would be ruthless.
I wasn't like being a scorned e-boy about it or anything.
I was like just thinking like,
"Yeah, that would get him."
And then I come with 1000 F750 big ass trucks,
fully lifted, fully lifted.
My height. No wait, that's shorter.
Three times my height, beefcakes carrying me.
We're in your front yard and I am clean as fuck.
I am freshly showered.
I'm smelling like expensive parfums.
Looking clean equals money?
I wasn't put through rigorous lyric testing.
Sounds really tight though.
I don't really know what a money machine is.
Like there's like the gun kind that shoots money
and then there's like the kind that sorts the money
at like the bank.
And then there's like an ATM
and then there's like the money minting
like printing device.
Who knows? What an abstract concept.
Money, where it comes from.
I only know how to spend it.
Like that whole week of that,
we were just like grinding out these songs
for the Minecraft show
so I was just like making tracks constantly,
tryna make some shit happen.
Just like people tryna fuck with you, I guess.
Don't need all the bad shit.
Just fucking doing my thing.
Making these songs.
