I just left Japan, man.
A bunch of kids was doing the Milly Rock.
That shit threw me off because I thought no one saw me because it was so many people walking.
They were waiting at the light with us, and they were just next to us too long.
So they started looking like, "Look.
Man, look.
Yo, that's Pi'erre."
So I just hear it.
I hear whispering at first and then I hear, "Yo Pi'erre," and I just see a bunch of people
just doing this.
It was crazy because I'm in Japan.
Someone got me a studio session.
I think it was a Trippie Redd studio in La, a studio he uses.
I just really wanted to record so they just put me in that studio.
I played a couple of beats.
They brought 6ix9ine in there when I was writing my verse and I just looked up, I was
just like, "The fuck?"
And then just put my head back down and got back to work.
I'm glad I ain't stop, because I wouldn't have made this shit.
And then I played this actually on tour with Drake, just to test it out on the crowd in
Australia and I got a great response.
That was two years ago.
So I really was holding on to this for a long time.
I used to work for Epic Records I was an engineer.
Shit, I dipped on the ass, really dipped.
One day I was working, then the next day I just didn't show up for work.
I had no time to really, really fulfill what I wanted to do.
So I just had to make a ... guess take a chance because it was a cool job.
I was learning, getting better, but I was just too impatient.
And then one time I quit, I've quit a lot of jobs.
I'm going to be honest.
I quit Zaxby's one time and Rich Homie Quan was there.
I thought it was it.
I was like, "I quit."
Took off everything.
It's like, "What are you doing?"
It's like, "Rich Homie Quan's right here!"
It was five years ago in Atlanta.
Man, I used to do some dumb ass shit.
And then he didn't even get the beats that day.
I sent him the beats and then I got home, and his email was full.
So I quit my job and was like, "Damn, he ain't even get the beats."
I'm pretty chill.
I get upset in private.
I don't try to portray that and be negative and shit because I know we have a platform.
I'm starting to notice my influence.
So, gotta be careful what I say.
Well the original title was called Magic and that's my uncle's name.
He passed away.
He was just my crazy uncle in my neighborhood.
In Queens he took care of everybody on the block.
So when I wasn't there, he'll be an uncle to my best friends.
My block was like a village.
Everybody was so connected back in the day.
So when he passed, everybody felt that shit.
It wasn't just me.
Shit, fucking Playboi Carti man.
That boy live a lifestyle.
Boy, he lit.
Everything I rap about be true, man.
That's why I tweeted that line and tagged him because he knows exactly what I'm talking
about because I really spilled Panda Express all on my clothes before the show.
And this is early.
This is before anything was really, hit my account yet.
This shit still fresh.
I'm like, "Fuck, damn bro, I spilled all this shit."
He just laughing.
I'm like, "Nah man, you got in your Rolls Royce.
That was my first day eating Panda Express.
I never had it.
I watch a lot of TV.
Boy Meets World, especially.
A lot of people around me don't like watching it anymore because I watch it so much.
They just leave the room and I cut it on.
I had a couple of teachers like Mr Feeney.
You don't really like them, but you understand why they loved what they do.
You just hate the fact that they love what they do because that's your teacher.
So they on you about your homework, everything.
Yeah, everyone had a Mr. Feeney, I feel like.
That's why I liked watching it growing up because it at least got a little message at the end.
My real name is Jordan, so that's why I said screaming Jordan because some girls call me
Jordan, some people call me Pi'erre.
Some people call me my middle name, but you never know.
Or they might be professional and say Mr. Bourne or Mr. Jenks, or when I got to check
in the hotels and stuff, government.
I can't do none of the, "Oh, it's Pi'erre."
That shit do not work.
As a kid I was really a Jordan head.
Penny Hardaways, I never really wore Adidas.
I had some football cleats that were Adidas and some basketball shoes.
I got a little kid picture in some Adidas.
That's it.
And some T-Macs, I'm lying.
The T-Macs, ain't no cap.
Other than that, good.
I want a Nike deal for real.
Since I was a little kid I always wanted to make my own Nike shoe.
That's always been a dream and if I was able to do this and that and come here today, the
Nike thing is just as possible.
A lot of people wear the Yeezys and stuff, but I got Nike Yeezys, and Kanye, he
definitely wants me to wear the new Yeezys, but I told him man, "I'm trying to get with
Nike, bro.
You was with Nike first, man.
You know how I feel."
A lot of the families still, they're just in Belize, so a lot of them can't come here.
So that's why I...
The line with the visa part, that's really big to me and my family because they look
at me I'm the golden child because I actually made something for myself.
Because a lot of cousins we have come here and just get deported, or uncles get deported.
So now I feel all the fucking pressure.
Chase, cheater, cheetah.
I don't really be having girlfriends, so if I got a girlfriend, you my girlfriend, right?
It's a lot to deal with but it's easy to deal with at the same time because I be working.
After I leave here I'm going straight to my grandma house.
I haven't even been able to go to my grandma house yet, so I have no time.
Everyone says I'm very unsatisfied.
It's not like I'm ungrateful.
It's like an addiction.
You get something you finally dreamt of, it's like, "All right shit, I want this shit too."
I'm going to work towards it though.
If you work towards something and then you accomplish that goal, it's hard for someone
to tell me no.
My little brother used to have a lot of seizures growing up, and I think I had one once.
When it happened to me, I didn't tell nobody.
I just blacked out or some shit.
I don't know what the fuck happened, but it was weird because I don't do no crazy drugs.
I don't even drink.
I just smoke weed.
That's it.
So I was confused.
You got to take care of yourself, that’s one thing I didn’t understand.
I just ran into Rich the Kid last night.
It was pretty late.
I was ordering Backwoods on Postmates and when I ordered it, I thought I had some weed.
I didn't even have no weed, so when it came, I went downstairs to pick it up and I ran
into Rich the Kid and I was like, "I know you got some gas.
Help a brother out."
Then I go upstairs and fall asleep, because I've got to come here and do this.
I'm straight, I'm happy, I'm blessed, my family is proud of me.
My mom's just ecstatic.
She stays out here, she be hearing little kids playing my music, riding a bike and shit,
like she's ... everybody's happy, everybody's just really proud of me, so.
I'm good.
Stress reliever.
