I went through my email.
I was looking through beats and I heard this beat.
I'm like, "I want this."
Matter of fact, it was the first beat I played out of my email.
I went in the booth.
I made a hook in about two minutes.
My and my guys, we've been through a lot.
We took the wrong way in life and stuff like that.
I'm just trying to show people that there's other ways to do things.
People see me and they see a young kid come out of the Bronx.
Maybe there's other ways to do things.
People don't got to gang bang.
That don't make no money.
Around that time, it was a whole bunch of politicking going on and stuff like that.
When I say, "Bodies drop all the time I don't feel nothing," it's just me saying you see
people passing away all the time.
People I know personally just die all the time.
If I don't fuck with you to a certain extent, then you know what I'm saying?
It just happens.
When I say "exuded," that's just how I talk.
Like I make up words when I talk.
Me and my boys will be talking and we just call each other "Tweaks," "Brax."
We just make up names like that; that's us.
When you get somewhere, where other people want to be, people hate.
People watch me and they always want to know what I'm up to.
I just feel like, "Worry about yourself.
How you going to better yourself worrying about me?"
When I said that I was not really saying I be seeing illusions.
I'm saying I'll be thinking somebody really down for me and people don't really be down
for me.
It's like you see snaking somebody is just crazy.
Going everywhere, people acknowledging me, getting respect.
A lot of people look up to me and that feel good.
This time last year I was locked up.
I was locked up.
I had no songs out.
I just had a dream; I had a plan, that's it.
When I say it could've been lights out, I could have been locked up for a lot more time.
It's just I'm blessed.
Last year my birthday, I was locked up.
This year I'm somebody, so my birthday was lit, and "scream little Tjay," and you know
I got a lot of girl fans.
When I say my chips, I'm talking about my bread.
I'm talking about my money.
When I say, "SB I’ma jack my shit," that's my shit.
SB that’s my block, that’s where I’m from.
That’s my hood.
A lot of people think I got money now, I can help everybody and all this other stuff.
It don't work like that.
I still got stuff that I got to do.
My grandmother was very big in my life.
When I used to have little arguments with my mom, stuff like that, or when you're not
getting along with your parents, you go right to my grandmother crib.
That's where I used to chill at.
I want that 550.
I want that Maybach.
Instead of acting like somebody I'm not, I'd rather better myself if I'm not that person.
You know what I'm saying?
A lot of the hater comments, a lot of times I see them sometimes.
Then sometimes I don't even see them.
I'll hear about it.
My boy will be like, "Yo, you seen this?"
I'll be like, "I don't care, Bro."
At the end of the day, there's a lot of people that say stuff about me ain't never seen me,
and probably won't ever see my in life.
It's just like you're better of minding your business.
What you get out of saying something negative about me?
Sometimes I resort to saying a Spanish word every now and then in my bars.
So I was just like let me bring it back one time.
“Mezclando I stay in the kitchen."
What motivates me to make music is when I drop a song and I see everybody reposting
and everybody hype.
It just make me want to make more.
I want to keep getting that reaction because this was a dream.
This was something I dreamed about.
It just happened fast for me.
I'm very blessed.
