I never get content at no point in my life,
even with little things. I get one house,
you know what I'm saying?
I wanna get a bigger house.
I get a car, I wanna get a big car.
You know what I'm saying?
I always keep raising the bar for myself
'cause I always kept in my mind,
ever since I was little,
I don't never want to get content with stuff.
You know what I'm saying?
I don't really have a top.
I just want to keep going up, going up, going up.
And as long as my people eat, I'm happy.
I had just started getting a lot of hate that week,
like, from people painting over my partner's mural,
people were just hating on Instagram.
It was just a lot, you know what I'm saying?
And so Chose hit me up,
like, "Where your head at?"
You know what I'm saying?
Like, where my mind frame was,
and I was just telling him. He sent the beat over,
I laced it up that same night.
It was therapeutic to me, so like, it came off
like, I think I knocked it out in like 40 minutes.
And then I was like, "Man,
I know I just dropped a tape,
but, shit, this gotta come out."
So that following week, seven days later I dropped it.
Every day I wake up in my life
I find somebody else who hating,
somebody else who want to be an enemy.
At a certain point it get funny
'cause like, I really don't be knowing these people
you know what I'm saying?
It's crazy.
A lot of things I done been through in my life:
losing partners, doing time in jail,
five different facilities,
being around people with life, 30 years,
40 years, people who are never coming home,
witnessing horrific things in, in and out of jail.
You know what I'm saying?
I feel like mentally,
a lot of people would not be able to make it
through and still have they sanity,
or still have they right mind.
You know what I'm saying?
Or even still have a good heart.
I feel like a lot of people become evil
because of the things that go on around them.
I gave them a fake blueprint of, okay, this is life.
It come with hate, it come with pain.
I done made it through it,
know what I'm saying?
I'm doing way better in life than I done ever been.
You know what I'm saying?
So why you can't do it too?
You might be better at it than me.
You know what I'm saying?
Not just in music, in anything, you know what I'm saying?
So I feel like don't let the hate stop you,
'cause everybody get hate.
I made it through, a lot of other people made through.
So you could be a part of that,
that portion that makes it through.
You know what I'm saying?
Anybody can take you out your position,
you know what I'm saying?
Just by your pride being in the way.
And it took me to go to jail to learn that.
I went to jail and I had people,
just down-talking me like I was home,
like really worried about what I got going.
Hating on me while I'm in jail, you know what I'm saying?
I'm talking about making up all type of stuff.
I feel like if you don't know yourself,
you'll be easily tricked out of your position.
You know what I'm saying?
You gotta be comfortable in your own skin at all times.
You know what I'm saying?
Or you gonna be finessed out of your position.
How I feel about people who feel like
they gotta portray a certain image in their music?
I feel like until you get out of those stages,
you'll never make it nowhere in life.
And if you do make it somewhere,
you coming right back down.
I got a artist named Lit Yoshi.
I done took my platform
and I opened my platform up to him
to gain, you know what I'm saying,
more recognition with his music.
You know what I'm saying?
Now he making money.
So that's a blessing to me,
being able to give somebody an opportunity
to make legal money.
You know what I'm saying?
And give you a gateway to get out of the streets.
You know what I'm saying?
When I say, "I had to put my love up,"
I'm a very caring person, very giving person,
but sometimes that's my weakness.
And so, like lately, last year or two,
I've been weaving out the fake.
You know what I'm saying?
And I've just been giving people rope to hang they self.
So once you abuse the love,
I go on ahead and take it back.
All the threats I get and all this stuff, like,
sometimes I just be like,
"Fuck it, just do it!"
You know what I'm saying?
It just get like that, you know what I'm saying?
'Cause sometimes you just get tired
of hearing the same old stuff, the same old hate
the same old fake, you know what I'm saying?
You just get tired of it.
I just feel like that's just one of them lines
just like everybody done felt that,
at some point in your life.
Quarantine actually done helped me.
It really done helped me because all the other rappers,
you know what I'm saying?
They slow-poking.
You know what I'm saying?
I done pushed out three projects in less than 12 months.
I was already in the overdrive,
It just put me in it two times, you know what I'm saying?
The hustle always the same,
you know what I'm saying?
I hustle like it was a quarantine going on already.
