- The inspiration behind this song
was definitely our cities.
Tee Grizzley is from Detroit and I'm from Milwaukee,
so 313 to the 414.
As you can see, it's very boastful like we bragging,
just shit talking, the regular fuss.
I was a fan of Tee Grizzley already.
I knew I wanted to have a song with him
and my CEO made that happen for me
because he works with Lil Yachty a lot.
So it was easy to just hit him up like,
"Lakeyah wants to work with you."
And I went to L.A. and we did a studio session together
and got two songs done in less than an hour.
I would not practice celibacy
because I like to do it like it's my b-day.
Shout out, Jocelyn.
(Lakeyah laughs)
You know, and I'm in love so why?
The best part about my career right now is
that my CEO bought all my jewelry.
We spent close to 300K on my QC chain,
and the female goat chain alone was super expensive,
so ask him how much.
I'm just sitting pretty in it.
I definitely take Excedrin when my head hurt,
like when I got a headache.
That other shit, that Tylenol and all that shit,
that shit don't work.
Excedrin be working.
That's what them hoes need 'cause I'm on they top.
Finishing your verse is like surgery.
It's like you gotta end it real hard so people know.
You know you gotta wrap it up nice.
Okay, let me throw a metaphor in there.
These hoes are sweet, what's sweet and heat?
You know what I'm saying?
I don't shoot people though, y'all.
(Lakeyah laughs)
I don't shoot people.
So in the past, I used to be stressed about motherfuckers
and people I was talking to, but we don't do that no more.
I'm happy, we getting to the bag.
I need the young girls, all the girls to know
get to the money first and the niggas are second.
That's a cheat code.
Be on top of your shit no matter what
because niggas gonna leave, bitches gonna leave,
the money gonna be here.
The fastest quickest way to burn a bridge with me
is playing in my fucking face.
And I know that mean a lot of things, but fake bitches,
liars, all that, I don't need that.
Don't play in my face, don't lie to me
and don't play with my money or my time.
My time is expensive.
My favorite Usher song is "Can You Handle It",
but I'm super obsessed with "Superstar" right now.
♪ Can you handle it ♪
♪ And I go there baby with you ♪
That's my favorite song by him.
I was a big Usher fan, but more obsessed
with Chris Brown though 'cause I was around that era more.
I played volleyball all four years of high school
because you could just stand there and hit a ball
and I'm lazy, and you could wear the little cute shorts.
But I tried to run track, I didn't make it past practice.
They had us running up and down some stairs,
I said hell motherfucking naw.
No, that was ghetto.
(Lakeyah laughs)
I don't fuck with hoes at all, but I'll get her hit
and I ain't even gotta touch no bitch.
That's a nice bar.
I don't fuck with hoes at all, but I'll get her hit
'cause you know getting hit is like fucking a bitch too.
I need to write that down.
(Lakeyah laughs)
My favorite Tyler Perry movie is definitely
"I Can Do Bad All By Myself", that's the one with Taraji,
I love Taraji, and "Diary of a Mad Black Woman".
It was him with the wig.
The braids, worst wig ever, terrible.
Recording with Tee Grizzly was super super chill.
It was super easy.
The chemistry was out of this world.
He gave me this super real-ass pep talk.
So when we finally got in the studio, it was just easy.
We were going back and forth.
I wanted to show not only him, but everybody else
that I can keep up with a nigga.
I was super mad I couldn't go watch the Bucks win
the championship and just put on
because I was in rehearsals for Rolling Loud.
I had front row seats and everything,
I was pissed off.
They said rehearsals are more important.
That's what my label told me.
But the whole city came out for Yanis and them going crazy
and you know I brung the motivation to this city
being the first rap bitch out of the city
to get signed and on and stuff.
So I'm half of the reasons they won.
(Lakeyah laughs)
I'm from Milwaukee, so Chicago is down the street to us.
It's an hour away, we stay driving there
for some good food, good vibes.
They got all the designer stores out there.
So yeah, I was there all the time.
They was really in they feelings.
Man, I heard I had them bum broke bitches in they feelings.
The boss bitches, they was lit, they was excited
to see somebody, but the bum broke bitches,
yeah, they was mad.
They like, "I've been rapping this motherfucking long
"and this the bitch that got on?"
Yes, and I came from rapping in my bedroom, God's favor.
Before I moved to Atlanta and stuff,
my mom wasn't really super supportive
of me choosing to be a rapper.
She didn't know if that was gonna be a career
that was gonna go like this.
So yeah, but now, people be counting my pockets
and, "Oh, she be with P, she be with Baby,
"she with the City Girls."
So everybody is super lit, except for the people
that resent me for being a boss-ass bitch.
