- When I make music, I let the beat inspire.
You get what I'm saying?
So the emotion of the beat or the vibe
I catch off the beat is what I, you know what I mean?
Is what I put in the music.
And I was on the way home from work.
Like, I just worked 12 hour shift.
Just got off six in the morning.
I got an hour drive back home
and I was vibing with instrumental in it.
First line that came to me,
"She's a runner. She's a track star."
The process for writing and recording "Track Star".
I didn't have time to write anything down.
So I recorded things in my Snapchat.
You get what I'm saying? Saved the video.
I had this little home studio setup.
I just went in and I recorded like,
some guide tracks or the hook.
And I ended up writing the verse
I think like later on at night.
And then the next day, I wrote the next verse.
Man, it feels amazing.
Just seeing people show love, you get what I'm saying?
Just see people love,
love the record and live with the record.
Man, it's just, it's amazing.
Whenever you see people saying, like saying it word for word
your lyrics that you wrote out of your head.
You get what I'm saying?
Like, you created this and people like they're gravitating
to it and they're posting it on Instagram there.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, it's amazing, man. It's a blessing.
You trying to be with somebody that, you know, they just run
from everything, she a runner, she a track star.
She's great at running.
Let's just say you in a relationship.
And when there's some type of problem that somebody has to
be the one that's going to be like, okay, you know.
It's time to swallow my pride
and bring you back here to the table.
Let's talk about, let's do this.
You get what I'm saying?
Some people just don't like to be wrong.
Some people don't want to face,
face things and do what's hard.
Being with someone like that,
And they end up hurting the other person.
You get what I'm saying?
She hurts anyone who gets involved. That's what.
When you dealing with things, man,
it make it like overtime, everything.
Like you're gonna get old. You're gonna grow.
You get what I'm saying?
So I don't think anybody's gonna let one, one situation
like kind of change, change their mind on love.
You can definitely still love again. You feel me?
And in essence, I'm just saying love is game
you used to cheer for.
Love is something that I was saying like,
love is something that you all, like,
that you talked about, that, that you wanted.
And now that you got it, you get what I'm saying?
It's like, you really didn't want it.
Now we're talking about the Track Star
trying to run it back.
When you run it back, you still got to face these problems.
So you just gonna run again. You get what I'm saying?
Like you can't just take off and then come back.
And they expect things to be like, cool.
The dirt you love, it don't it don't it don't go away.
It's still here.
I definitely experienced that from a shorty days ago
go on Twitter and tweet everything.
You know what I'm saying?
Before even talking to you or not talking to you
just going to Twitter, you ain't gotta do all that.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, if I asked, if I asked you what you feeling then,
you know, just say that.
Like, why, why take it to social media?
That's like who, who you trying to entertain?
I don't forget anything. I don't slow down for anybody.
If shorty leave, you know what I mean?
Why, why is she gone? I'm doing my thing.
Track Star's always running back. You get what I'm saying?
But she's like, and she wanted me to take you back
with open reaching arms.
And like you left.
You left when, you left when you had love.
People just got to understand who they are
and what they bring to the table.
And then once you know that, and then you already
know they're going to regret leaving.
That ain't going to happen as quick as I say it is.
You know what I'm saying? Everybody different.
That's the place you want to get to.
That, that's the way I thinking that you want to get.
But you probably gonna have to go
through everything else first, before you get that.
You could both just be in two different spots in life.
One thing about it, bro, when people go through life,
that they go through so many changes as a pro.
You get what I'm saying?
So sometimes, people grow together
and sometimes, people grow together
and grow apart as their growth.
If I'm like going through something like that,
bruh I'd probably, probably like party and stuff bro.
You feel what I'm saying?
And just like, go, go it like it's go.
Not no track star's stuff, or nothing like that.
But just, you know what I'm saying?
And just live life.
You feel what I'm saying?
Keep doing that until, until you get that confidence going.
When I made this song, I just wanted to hit hard
on a concept that made and make sure that like,
I get into that bag and into that emotion,
a heartbroken emotion.
Where does my mind go?
If I'm heartbroken, you get what I'm saying?
What are the thoughts just running through my mind
at this time?
You get what I'm saying, like?
So that's, that's really what I wanted to give the people.
No matter if it's a relationship problem,
no matter what problem there is always going to follow you
until you deal with it, you get what I'm saying?
Like you just have to deal with it.
It's just a part of life.
And I think that's just something that people,
I mean, that we just go through.
We've got to go through some things
like that to grow in life.
