We’re out here getting money and shit, we’re finally getting rich.
Like, I’m the president of Indonesia if you don’t know.
I used to do a lot of comedy rap type stuff and I just did it for fun.
And then one day I was like,
"What if I actually go in on this shit?"
Because a friend of mine was a producer and he was like, "Let's do a song, man!"
And then I just went to his studio, he made a beat and I recorded to it in like...
I was just wondering what would happen if I actually was serious on a song.
12, the police.
A lot of people didn't get that.
A lot of people were like, "12 in the morning?
What are you talking about?"
And I'm like, "Nah.
It's 12, as in cops."
I was like, "If I have a song that blows up and I'm this kid and I say the N-Word, would
people be like "Holy shit, that song is so cool when he said that N-word.
I think I'll let it slide."
That’s what I was thinking.
I was basically just trying to make people less sensitive to the word and take the power
out of the word, but then I realized I'm totally not in a position to do that.
I was like, "I fucked up."
So, I just don't say it anymore.
I literally didn't have friends until August of 2015 because I just went to the club in
Indonesia and met some friends and I found out that they lived close to me and we started
hanging out, but before that, it was like zero.
And a lot of people are wondering, like, "What's
the stick mean?"
The stick could be anything.
It could be...
I'm aware that it's slang for a gun, but shit, if you're talking about wooden
sticks, fuck it.
It's a wooden stick.
This part was probably the only part in the song where I was being serious.
Basically in that line, I was just trying to let people know that bad shit happens in
Indonesia too.
A lot people, they don't really know where I came from.
They think I'm from like California and shit, but Indonesia has it pretty bad.
It's getting better, but there's definitely some bad parts and I was just trying to raise
awareness of that.
At the time, I didn't really have a female, but I was just like, "Maybe in the future
I will have a female that does me wrong and I'ma flex on her one day."
I had a minivan.
I'm not really into cars.
It just sounded cool on the song.
When I was making the song, I really did not know what I was doing.
I was kind of listening to all this Trap music and when they're talking about scary shit,
I just love it so much.
So I was like, "I kind of wanna recreate this.
I wanna do something.
I wanna have some scary ass lines."
And I didn't realize what that could do and how people would feel about that, because
I don't live any of this shit.
I'm not with the shit.
The Trap lyrics and stuff, the whole violent shit, I was just trying to remake it, basically.
