I can never go back to who I used to be.
I can never.
And I don’t want to.
I learned how to love myself.
I used to never love myself.
Loving yourself is one of the best feelings in the world.
When you are for you, and you know that you don’t have to depend on anybody but you, and you can wake
up in the morning and look in the mirror and actually like the person that you see in the
mirror, that’s a beautiful feeling.
I only got that feeling like a year or two ago.
MadeInTYO's my boy.
You already know.
That’s my guy.
He came to Toronto way way back to when I had a condo.
And we was moshing and kicking it and shit.
We was showing each other music and shit.
I had the song.
I had an open verse on it, so I sent it to him.
He was like, "Yo this is fire! Let me knock this shit out ASAP."
So he knocked it out and it is what it is and he sent back the fire.
Favorite brownskin women?
Mmm.
I don't know man.
There's so much everywhere.
South America.
I don't know man.
It's so much in that continent, man.
I don't know.
I don’t know.
I really don't know.
It's too much good brownskins man.
So many times I was ready for women.
Ready to be in a relationship, but I guess it wasn't the time.
If you don't know what “flopping” means, it's when you don't come through and you don't
even let your mans know you wasn’t gonna show up.
Just got him hanging in the air.
Like what's wrong with you boy?
How you gonna flop on me like that?
You ain't gonna let me know you ain't coming bruh?
If you're my friend and you're gonna befriend my enemy, then I don't know what you telling them.
I don't know what you going over there saying to them.
You can say, "Oh I'm not talking bad about you," but I don't know that.
How do I know that?
You over there with them.
So I can't trust you.
Even in high school, I had a certain way of dressing that people would always watch and
try to take.
And I'd always like, see it.
I'd always be aware.
Like fam, that's my style.
What are you doing?
You're blatantly copying my style in front of my face?
Come on, fam.
You ain't got sauce like I got it.
I'm a leader, you a follower.
It is what it is.
Everything I go through on a day-to-day, what I see, how I feel.
Nobody can handle those feelings.
I came from being a kid people passed in the hallways to now.
Literally.
And I literally had nothing.
People think I got it easy.
A lot of people think I got it easy, but y’all can’t handle the shit I go through
on a day-to-day.
I always go with my gut.
Always go with my instinct.
Follow that gut, that flaming feeling inside your gut.
Always go with that.
I have to.
Because, I can’t second-guess.
I used to second-guess myself and when I did, I would always be like, “Fuck!"
"I should’ve just went with my first thought.”
So after that, I’m just like gut feeling, gut feeling, gut feeling.
Brampton is a city that’s only starting to expand.
The northside is newer.
Like, bigger houses.
Newer houses.
Know what I mean?
Southside, it just looks like a little country.
Like, run down gas stations and shit.
Old apartment buildings and shit.
It’s weird.
It has this little hood feeling.
Every summer.
It’s such a beautiful feeling.
We'll go out there and just smoke blunts with the man dem and go play ball or whatever.
I miss that shit.
So the South has such a energy.
Such a vibe that the the North...people on the Northside, they won’t come.
"You live in those ends, bro? I’m not coming over there, bro!"
Anybody on the Northside of Brampton knows.
The South looks different, feels different, everything is just different man.
