I'll always be like don't rap here it's cool, it's too ... there's enough R&B singers that rap.
It's cool.
But on that one I had to have a conversation with myself like maybe you shouldn't rap.
Man, it's cool bro, you want to do it.
But Drake already doing it.
Yeah, but, Lauryn Hill was doing it too.
Oh, yeah, alright cool, I'ma to do it.
When we first did GOAT it was on Eric B for President album and it was featuring Aroc.
I feel like without Aroc GOAT wouldn't have been GOAT.
So, shout out to Aroc.
The fans loved it and guys was just like Yo bro, this song is still a hit.
I know you going into your next project with Easy Call but we would be a fool if we didn't,
you know, put a little light on this and try to see what we could do.
So, let's package up a remix.
I remember Wale being like yo bro I know we done this this and that but I need you to
get on this one too.
(laugh) And he was like “Bro send it over, Whatever you need I got you.”
Boom, hopped on it, blacked out.
Simply showcasing the vulnerability of she's my addiction.
She finesse' is kinda like Beyonce “Upgrade You.”
When I first got with my chick she was like boom, boom, placing me with people.
I'm like damn you just gave me this connect.
Like, you just gave me this contact.
You know and it was interesting because its my girl doing this rather than one of the homies.
So, I was like, I gotta throw that in one of the bars in the future.
It’s one thing to just be like it's you and me against the world baby.
But, it's another thing, you know, when your boys respect her and she respects your boys.
You know it's a relationship you don't gotta be like “Alright so check it out bro, just
way we was with, you know what I'm saying, the homies.”
It's really like we all the homies so that alleviates so much stress.
Day one, it’s easier to trust.
All it is is giving it time.
Giving the relationship time and letting it build and then you know if you’ve been through
some things and she still stuck there with you, you gonna call her a day one.
Ain’t nobody been there since day one with your momma and the doctor.
But the day one is when the relationship starts.
London, Paris, Montego Bay was just did he just say Bay with the Bae?
Yeah, you know what I'm saying, I think that I just snuck that in there, you know . I ain't
been to Montego Bay yet but it was bay and an obvious bar that needed to be added.
It's always necessary, you know what I'm saying, to make sure you have the bedroom vibes for
the lyrics because first of all.
Niggas is nasty now a days.
I wanted to make sure, you know, the metaphor behind breaking the back would also metaphorically
speaking insert the fact that I'm out here getting to the bag.
Songwriting greatness is simplicity with potency.
So 'We found love in a hopeless place, we found love in a hopeless place, we found'...
you know what I'm saying, that repetitive line that you can say over and over again
but people still don't get tired of it is when I feel like you got a hit.
I wanted to just make sure I had a line that was real strong.
And that was also not necessarily saying I'm in love, I'm in love.
It was still passive aggressive.
Like, I guess, I guess I'm gonna have to call her Bae.
So a lot of my songs are just about my relationship.
With GOAT it was definitely, you know, wrapped around wifey.
I was like but wait 'Gucci on all the time'?
Nah, you didn't just come up with that champ.
Yes I did.
That could have been a Two Chainz line.
So to me anytime it could be a Two Chainz line, that's the line.
Two Chainz is my go to for...would Two Chains would have said this?
And be like yeah.
And be like, yeah.
