I always tell people like Lil Xan, Lil Xan.
I think I finessed the rap game.
Don't get me wrong. I think I'm ... From the beginning of rap when it was a hobby to now,
I've progressed so much and made myself so proud with the quality of music that I'm putting out.
But like, yeah.
It's just me trying to be on a sing-y vibe.
You know?
Some other influences that I haven't really told people I have yet.
One of my biggest influences would be Bryson Tiller for that song.
I know there's other people in his lane that people would say, "Oh, they're doing it better."
I just think he's the most underrated.
And I used to listen to like "Let ‘Em Know," "Don't," all those old songs.
It's like a drug, you know?
I was off of a little bit back at the studio.
It was a while ago.
Like I said, it was a transition.
We don't do that stuff no more.
I could sit here and lie to you and be like, "Oh, yeah.
I don't have a spleen.
I lost it."
I still have my spleen.
And there's memes on the internet saying, "Oh, we found Lil Xan's spleen here" or "We
found Lil Xan's spleen in the Bermuda Triangle."
It's like, "It's right here.
I still ..." I don't know where it's at on my body.
It could be anywhere.
I don't know.
But it's still inside me.
I'm not used to the fame.
Like I said, every week it's something different.
Every month it's something different.
I'm blessed for it.
But you know, I lost a lot of good friends.
I lost a lot of friends back home in Redlands.
Lost a lot of friends out in LA.
It's 'cause they see success and they get like, you know, somewhat either jealous or
they're mad that it's not them or something.
So, they become weird.
They want things from you.
You just gotta cut them off 'cause clearly they're not your real friends.
I don't have a lot of friends to be honest at this point.
But, the ones I do have like all my brothers and family.
You know.
I've been in three car crashes, all very bad.
One of 'em, two of 'em ... I ain't gonna lie.
Two of 'em were my fault.
I got into one really bad car accident a long time ago when I was just rapping as a hobby
on my way back from the casino with these two girls.
And I was trying to change the song on SoundCloud ... Bad move because, you know.
I just swerved into the other lane, pit maneuvered him, and the car just barrel rolled three
times.
There's nothing you can do.
You know?
So, you're just thinking, "Am I gonna die at this moment?
Am I gonna die at this moment?"
The car landed on its back.
Luckily, I just crawled out.
I had glass in my mouth, but no cuts.
I was fine.
But, the other girl's foot is stuck through the windshield.
I was just like “Oh my God.”
So, that one was really bad.
So, I'm really fortunate.
I know I had a guardian angel, looking over me for that one.
People say, "You're too young to have ever been heartbroken."
But I don't think that makes sense.
But yeah, I've had my heartbroken like three times in my life.
A couple of them were really devastating to my mental state.
I love taking pictures with fans when they come up to me.
I'll never deny a fan a picture.
If you ever see me, don't be afraid to approach me.
I feel like I'm the nicest rapper in the rap game right now.
So, yeah.
Financially, I'm doing a lot better than last year you know?
I don't like buying chains or jewelry.
That's not really my swag or my style.
Fucking in the MCM ... I like MCM, okay?
That's my only thing.
But like I spend my money on shoes and like food.
Honestly, it goes all to food.
I'm trying to be conservative with my money.
It's not that expensive.
But it's like Benihana's.
I like Benihana.
That's my favorite.
We should just all be positive and shit.
Like if you don't like my music that's cool.
You don't need to go project that negative energy and that evil shit onto me.
So, that's really what that line meant.
