I made my first big purchase already.
A crib, a nice big crib.
That was the first thing I wanted to do because we was just bunched up.
We stayed in small cribs.
We had a crib, but it was a small crib.
Then we had an apartment, it was a small apartment, we downsized.
So, I knew when I get a check, we going big.
And we went big.
JTK, has sent me the beat, the producer who made it.
He sent it to me and I was stuck.
It was a cold beat.
I mean I just didn't know what to say on the beat because it was so cold, you feel me?
So, I just went in there and freestyled.
Just whatever I thought about or however I was feeling at the time, it just came out.
The prayer scene in the song came about because I was sleepy.
I was really tired in the studio because I already did a 12 hour session the day before.
So I came back to do another 12 hours, I'm tired.
You know, you say that prayer when you're going to sleep.
In my circle,
everybody look at me like the MVP, the CEO, I'm the ring leader.
I always talk about being with the mob.
When I say the mob I just mean my gang.
We so deep, they like, dang, it's like a mob, you feel me?
Because there's a lot of us.
Anybody that know me know we pull up to the show 24, 34, every show.
I'm from the South Side of Chicago, but I moved to Calumet City.
That's where the 147 comes from, that's Sibley Boulevard is 147th.
A lot people are going to say it's the burbs, you know what I'm saying?
Like, are you from the burbs?
Don’t nothing go on in the burbs.
It’s really cracking on the Sib though.
I lost a lot of homies on the Sib to gun violence and stuff.
It’s really going on.
If we in a circle together, we don't bump heads, we love each other.
I'll kill for my brothers, my brothers would kill for me.
We come from the dirt where all my homies, I've known all my homies since the second...third
grade.
They all still with us.
I was getting extremely high, bro, at one point in time.
Up here wasn't all the way screwed in.
I really had some shit going on outside that I didn't really have no business being into.
I shouldn't have been there or in that mix, and I was in that mix and it kind of haunted
me for a long time.
That's the corner, the bend, you know what goes on at other corners.
It's real.
I was kind of losing myself, everybody around me could see it to, like, he tweaking.
But I shook that shit, I'm back, I'm regular.
In school, my Senior year, all of my homies got expelled.
They brought the dogs in the school, they got to hittin the lockers, everybody getting
caught with weed.
The whole time, I ain't got weed in my locker so I don't get booked.
Niggas going to get in they drama, but I was decent in school, I was regular, you feel me?
I wasn't no super hot head, but niggas knew not to play in school.
Because we so deep, it's the mob.
They know what's going on.
