I was just a person that lived day by day every day.
Just trying to get it how I lived type shit.
You feel me?
So me thinking far in the future wasn't even there.
I would never think that I would have to explain my situation to nobody.
But at the same time I really got to let people know like this is why I act the way I act.
This is how I might carry myself this way.
All cause of my struggle and where I came from.
I was on my tour bus.
You know what I'm saying just looking for beats, cause I wanted to record while I was
on tour.
I want to talk like some life story type of vibes.
You know what I'm saying?
I’m from Philly.
PnB Pastorius and Baynton that’s my block.
Every day, you know what I’m saying?
Some shit going on around there.
My mom she a single parent you know she had five boys.
Out of those five boys she had three baby daddies, two of them got murdered.
One of them was just like a dead beat, so it was like pretty much like we ain't have
nobody like on no father figure type shit.
You know what I'm saying?
So my moms was struggling had to get it on her own type shit.
So she did a lot for us.
One day she came in the crib big ass hickey on her head you know what I'm saying.
She was trickling blood.
Me and my brother like you good, like damn what happened like why your shit all leaking?
Motherfucker ran down.
So that was her last time selling drugs.
She realized like at that point like it aint really like worth her risking her life.
I was at my lowest of lows you know what I'm saying.
Homeless I ain't have shit you know at one point in time a nigga was locked up
did 2 1/2 years.
I'm reaching out to everybody you feel me cause in jail you need that support you need
somebody.
You know what I'm saying?
None of my family members was there for none of the hard shit I was going through.
And when I came home and started doing the music shit you know started getting little
phone calls shit on instagram.
Woopdie wooda I'm just laughing like fuck y’all got amnesia.
Like you'll forgot all the times I tried to reach out to y’all
We come from not just like on a music shit.
This wasn't my life forever, before this I was doing other shit you feel me?
And that's the reason I move the way I move
I'm not out here like mad I'm not out here angry.
You see what I'm saying I'm chilling.
Like everybody around me is comfortable.
I just be letting people know don't come with the negativity.
I know so many people in my city with crates under their bed trying to hold the bed up.
Like putting syrup on your bread.
Like that’s something that you do when you ain't got it.
You feel me?
Like you just trying to put something together real quick and it was a meal for us.
All the hardships that I been through you know what I'm saying I'm finally getting my
blessings.
You know what I'm saying?
It's finally coming in, me being how I am me being humble
I had to open up my first business.
You know what I'm saying?
I opened up my burger shop called Burger Lane.
And when I just realized that I got people working for me you know what I'm saying.
Damn I'm like a real boss, you feel me?
I got people that's clocking in.
You feel me?
That was one of those pivotal moments for me.
Like yeah.
Young nigga came out the mud turned that shit into this.
I make sure everybody legit.
Like so its like if you in my good graces, if you a mother fucker that's worked hard
and you ain't on no snake shit, no back door shit you know.
You already know one hand washes the other type shit.
You know we all gone get to this bread.
Where I came from.
You know what I'm saying?
Where I was on some trap shit, when I was on some running around jugging finessing.
Then I got locked up.
And I came home and started turning my life around and making pop songs.
Like you gotta know this side thought to know why some of ways ain’t all pop-starish.
I might give you pop star songs, but the majority of the time I’m not moving like no pop star.
You feel me?
I’m moving like a trap star.
