his drops i'm happy you're here man cause i've been wanting to build with you because uh i'll be listening to your music i hear so much pain in your music and i wanted to talk to you just to get a sense of what's behind all of that so so good morning what what fuels all that pain in rod waves music i mean bro like i'll just be talking about everyday life you know what i'm saying i feel like life go up and down you know what i'm saying like it's always it's always [ __ ] you know what i'm saying so i just talk about every day you know what i'm saying that's all it really be i might be feeling one way i feel like i can't talk to really nobody about it so i just put it in the music i saw what got you into what got you into music what got you rapping i know you're a huge fan of kanye west and college dropout but what got you saying you know what i can rap i want to give us a shot and try i ain't gonna lie bro it was so many people and i feel like i ain't really two in them so a lot of people don't get people they credit but like i used to feel like being a rapper was like unreal until i started seeing people like my age really started doing like cheap keep kodak young boy like them boys really like not doing anything you feel me so i was like [ __ ] i could do this [ __ ] too so you know it always been a dream but it really made me get out here and chase it like seeing my peers like really succeed and you feel me so yeah so what was it did you used to journal when you was younger or was you just freestyling just to get [ __ ] off your chest like what was it no my my yeah my brother used to write in journals and in journals and stuff you feel me so i just used to record it in my phone you know i'm sending a recorder on my mama's flip phone and just keep it and hold it you know what i'm saying just keep the flow you know i'm saying but once i got older i just started writing but so when i got like high school and [ __ ] i really had gave up on that until like the 12th grade like graduation type [ __ ] i had got back into the flow like when i got out of school like i just needed something positive to do you know so yeah so your brother rap too what's your parents think no my mama's my my my daddy was trying to get me together what your mama think you just graduated and now you get back into rapping so he wasn't talking about college he wasn't talking about a job he was like mom i want to rap so what was your mom's thoughts when you said that no my mama she definitely won really i wasn't really living on my mama at the time you know i said but my pops my pops i just got out of prison so he was really trying to get me to do like you know saying chase something more realistic i want to come from but nobody don't really do that you know that's everybody dream but ain't nobody it's hard to believe in some [ __ ] like that where i come from you feel me so you know what i'm saying that's interesting from the pittsburgh who we would know that y'all know bruh it's a lot of talented people but just like being honest like that y'all know i probably don't i don't know it's a lot of people doing their thing but uh so that's so much talent but it's just hard it's hard to believe in it it's hard to get other people to believe it like i always tell people but you got to leave first to get the world to believe it first and then they gonna believe it back home you know what i'm saying because it's hard bro it's hard to get people to believe in some [ __ ] like that because it never happened before you know so even looking at florida as a whole like you know when you think about like uncle luke and you think about rick ross and trick daddy like they didn't inspire you all right really they were kind of like before it was kind of like way before my time bro i ain't going a lot bro anybody in florida like floyd appeared but they gonna say call that black bro i ain't even gonna lie cause like he ain't like really inspired like my flow or nothing but because you know i'm a florida but too you know what i'm saying but just like he inspired me like you know like i could really do this [ __ ] you know what i'm saying like seeing a brother do it like okay it's possible he gave it a young [ __ ] hope you know what i'm saying give all the young [ __ ] hope and motivation i tell brother up to his face you feel me you met him yet no no i'll be chopping up with him two pop businesses and [ __ ] but i ain't never met bro it seems like you got a a complicated relationship with your father i know he did what six or six years yeah yeah yeah but it seems like you got a complicated relationship is is that is that the case it would go up and down but that's really my brother i always looked up twice i want to be like my daddy you know what i'm saying and teddy you know he inspired me to be better he always told me better but now that's my boy we just be bumping heads but that's my brother i look up like i couldn't ask for no better parts you know what i'm saying what do you want me talking about what about you his temple dog hands and minds you know santa you know i'm getting older got money you know i be feeling myself a little bit but when i was younger though i was always my boy i just always wanted to be around him you know i'm saying he was going don't get twisted your pops always put his hands on you no matter how old you are yeah my parts are like no you know what's my street [ __ ] so you know he really he really trying to fade he feel disrespected you know what i'm saying so i have to really like tell her but like man that's my brother for sure he does what he went to jail for if you don't mind me asking uh a temporary state witness attempt murder and uh that was it yeah i owe you so your pop got some hands so you got to make sure you got hands back yeah yeah fox fan yeah park's fading ain't gonna lie what's the worst went to prison i was done at elementary school i don't know my age i was in elementary school when he came home did you have like a a little resentment for him just like you felt like he left you because you didn't quite understand it like when i was when he was gone i did but like when he came home like that [ __ ] went away instantly like you know what i'm saying he was going i felt like played a little bit like that like you know what i'm saying all that [ __ ] like really but when he came home he was like really doing this thing like coming around making sure you know what i said like then while you went to school today type [ __ ] you know what i'm saying [ __ ] made me play football and [ __ ] because you know i was in the other [ __ ] like i was already i kind of felt like it started too late like i'm already doing my thing a little bit but he came home and like threw that [ __ ] out the window like you know what i'm saying they wanted to make sure you wasn't going in the same direction as him that's why you wanted to do that for sure to make sure he stayed on your ass to make sure he was doing the right thing yeah i caught on burglary at 14. you feel him so when he came home like when he seen what i would kind of like what i was into and what i was doing like he kind of changed my mindset like bro you're in the streets you're gonna die you're gonna go to prison but you gotta find something better to do you know what i'm saying that's what i'd be kind of trying to tell [ __ ] like well i really don't try to portray that image because i made it out of that [ __ ] i made it past that [ __ ] you know what i'm saying i'm just happy to be here dog be doing something positive you feel what i'm saying because i already know what come with that [ __ ] you know what i'm saying my uncle's not my uncle my manager you know what i'm saying he did fair talk 10 years day for day you know i'm sorry to be known but come with that [ __ ] so i'll just be you know what i'm saying yeah but you smart because you listening to the og's around you they've been made some mistakes yeah so you don't have to go through that yeah i put the bank crashed i ain't gonna lie like if you listen to my music i say that a lot dude like i posted ben blue red don't hang a lot like way younger i swear yeah that's why that record tombstone man it's like you say finally i'll be resting in peace i'm like damn that's pretty dark like it seems like this brother got too much to live for now for sure it just it's like it's like i don't be wanting people to get that like i'm complaining or nothing like but about what came with his life because i'm still thankful for it but it's just like i never been the center of attention though i never been like the one with all the pressure on him you know what i'm saying so i can't even go to sleep like i want them [ __ ] who wake up and grab my phone like make sure that they're gonna be good you know what i'm saying nobody died while i was asleep ain't nobody you know i got to go wake up nobody like i'll be just you know what's that [ __ ] hard to even sleep with that kind of [ __ ] knowing that that pressure on you so mm-hmm so i'm saying like maybe when i go i finally really get be getting some rest type [ __ ] you know what i'm saying what's your relationship with your mother too you talked about your mother earlier she didn't raise you early on what was it what's that relationship like that's my baby when my daddy left [ __ ] that's all i really had that's all i really had was moms moms and grandma and nana i saw that auntie joy that's all i had yeah what did they instill in you that that that made you the man you are right now i mean they could they tried a lot of [ __ ] but you know what i'm saying i still got persuaded by other [ __ ] there's nothing they could really do or say you know a child a boy need that man you know what i'm saying again that's why i ain't really getting a real game until i got older like my daddy came home like bro you breaking the house that's like what buddies do like what crack kids do you know what i'm saying like me i hustling at least i respected that but you breaking the people [ __ ] like that [ __ ] lame you know what i'm saying but my mom and dad they were trying to but they really couldn't you know what i'm saying you said you feel that pressure man what is it the fact that you know you're the person that can change things for your whole family can change things for your community yeah and it's a lot of pressure too because it's like nobody never really been in my shoes to where like what i'm doing so it like ain't really nobody i could go for for advice type [ __ ] or what's the next move it's like i really kind of like just gotta figure it out so you know what i'm saying like come down to whatever they calling me they doing this people might tell me now bringing supposed to be helping them ain't supposed to be doing that now you can let them bring you down you can you know what i'm saying they'll be like i just but you got to just kind of be a man you know i said make your own move go what you think right is that that's what you and your pops bump head sometimes because yeah you're a rapper and he don't understand that that rap life you know because it's like he wanted to be right he wanted to be a rapper too but you know it's a new tom you know what i'm saying but it's like only want to feel like i know everything and and not listen to him and and and make the wrong move and then again i don't want to be feeling like listening to him gonna get me make me do the wrong move you know what i'm saying because he pops you know i'm saying he good intention so but still you probably feel like he ain't right about certain stuff and then i'll be feeling like he right but it's hard i thought it'd be hard to make final decisions and [ __ ] when did you first bucket your daddy when the first time you had the courage the buck to stand up to him i ain't never bought pops i'm already respect them though yeah you gonna do man dog if you meet my partner ain't how you think he is though like like i don't know how to explain man [Laughter] why you don't bring him on the road with you no he dude okay he'll be on the road with me i swear but he gonna get into a fight every time he gonna get into it [ __ ] be trying to get on stage be like we'd be finna fade when he would've i saw cause he don't go for that [ __ ] you know what i wanted to ask you about just now that you are like you said the center of your attention and you're not used to that and i know you had the song popular loner that's pretty much about that how hard is it for you to make that adjustment because obviously you've been doing the music because you love it and it's therapeutic for you but then there's a lot more that comes with it so how have you been adjusting to that like and a lot like my uncle unleashed that tell me like when to post and [ __ ] like because like i ain't really i don't really be looking for the attention but i know it's what you got in it i'm in a game where you got to keep up you know what i'm saying but i'll just be trying to draw the music don't really be with all the extra stuff you know what i'm saying but i'm in the game where you have to keep up so it's kind of hard adjusting you know saying i'll be forgetting that i even have all these people like waiting to hear what i'm trying to do next i'll be forgetting so it's kind of hard to keep up with it though sometimes i wonder if you gotta i wonder if you got to keep up with you can like you know just just run your own race you know what i mean yeah that's what i've been doing i just been dropping you ain't really gonna hear from me until the time i drop music or if i'm on there with some of my mind i might just have to get it off and i might say it and then forget it's a three four hundred thousand people going to watch it or something i have to delete it real quick probably like that i'm tripping all these blogs when you post it i ain't really do it for that you know what i'm saying but yeah you ain't really gonna really hear from me like with a big present like until it's time to drop like right now you know what i'm saying ain't really gonna really hear from me now we seen during the pandemic you were still out doing shows and stuff so pandemic didn't really slow it slowed you down but didn't stop you but we seen one show where you perform and the stage crumpled in so what happened and are you are you suing that school or that venue no man ain't trying to sue nobody man then i like holy [ __ ] man i just it is what it did [ __ ] fail do you have ptsd from that when you get on stage yes i see them bro i'll be like damn bro that [ __ ] crazy like it'll be really kind of [ __ ] never happened to me before bro i didn't being enough dawg i'd have been like coming up i don't being in some [ __ ] up places like hole in the wall dawg that [ __ ] never happened i kind of felt like that [ __ ] was sabotage you know what i'm saying oh why [ __ ] really hot you know what i'm saying [ __ ] they move afterwards because it's like but that [ __ ] would then have sabotage than that bro oh you think somebody did that on purpose had to be bro like i've been i'd have been in the worst places but i've been a hole in the walls bro like coming out like doing this [ __ ] i'd have been away that was a school but like somebody really i ain't tripping about that [ __ ] though how many people you are on stage with you yeah we was a little deep though hanging online so it could have been your fault it could have been damn my [ __ ] falling through the stairs yeah you had a girl there was a girl with you twerking and they they got off stage she was still twerking on the stage right now i want a girl with me no i ain't bringing a girl i mean no that's what i'm saying all these people oh you even know more seniors got into them so you know none of them people they just can't i was weird i was yeah i was i was with a lot of people though but i was like four or five people i even know who it was that's why bro was telling her like back up like we don't even know you bro tight [ __ ] i also seen that you uh got into a serious car accident yeah man i blew it in my in my corvette bro tripping i really went in i was posting my hat just had my daughters i'll be fine with god telling me like bro you supposed to be someone you know what i'm saying yeah i blew it i told it that bit whole whole right side of that is gone oh you had your daughters with you at least no they had just had them and they were born early so i was that's why i was supposed to be at but i'm still on the [ __ ] i was still riding around trying to show out and [ __ ] i see you sampled uh the legendary pimp c interview from from hot 107.9 in atlanta on the new album too what made you do that like i said like bro i ain't really understand what [ __ ] was talking about until i got into this [ __ ] you know sometimes i can walk in people's shoes and see what they saying like like a lot of these things just be too i'll be seeing through a lot of these [ __ ] bro like now that i've been in this [ __ ] like a lot of [ __ ] just be too tough like two weeks of that [ __ ] be blowing me like bro we did it like we here i don't want to stand with a bit what the bit right with a big problem beat by like you know what i'm saying so pimple just want to be saying like bro we getting too much money like we made it out of the streets like what is y'all that's why i just stay in my own lane you know what i'm saying i don't want to meet none of them they don't do none of that bro you don't want me no oh i swear to god you ask them i don't want to meet no they already know that you don't have a lot of guest appearances and you said you're not really on it like that and even your whole recording process is probably different than how a lot of artists record their music so for the new album did you change anything or is it still just you and the engineer yeah it just be me and the engineer i ain't gonna lie i ain't had no features on my album but i was going to the jury store and i bumped into polo g and when i seen him i was just like oh [ __ ] another rapper like you know what i'm saying i would kind of like not like i don't want to see a boy bro but i was just like you know what i'm saying and he kind of walked up to me like bro [ __ ] with you tight [ __ ] i'm like damn that's crazy like i ain't no bro was like that like it's some good [ __ ] in this [ __ ] too like don't get it twisted like it's some good [ __ ] in this [ __ ] but it's just like you have to be the right time right please for me to see that cause i ain't gonna never like you know what i'm saying but bro a good [ __ ] though he probably yeah he's the only feature on the album it's gotta be weird though really coming from the street you know seeing your pops get locked up your uncles and then seeing people portray a life that they're not really living but that life really gets people [ __ ] up yeah bro i don't know what come with that [ __ ] like my homeboy is doing real time about this by that [ __ ] bro like i talked to every day you know what i'm saying and i don't i don't understand what be so cool about that [ __ ] but no i'm sure a lot of people reach out to you to try to get features from you so how do you handle that and because sometimes people have an issue if you don't do a feature with them or you're not receptive to that but clearly you like you said are a loner people like people be reaching out to do something but i i probably never even like it'll probably never get to me because the people around me know how i young you know i hear it i'm just chilling right now if i work with somebody it's because like they might i knew them when i was like i was a fan of them before music and i just got to see what it's about you know it's like there's like gates i [ __ ] get it's like because i just listened to bro coming up like middle school i was listening but i just had to go see what that's about i'll follow me like yeah because i remember watching bro like you know what i'm saying i [ __ ] with [ __ ] like you know what i'm saying people like that people who use ed sharing and [ __ ] like [ __ ] i was listening to before this you know what i'm saying you know ed no i haven't spoken to him in a couple months but he probably [ __ ] with your music heavy yeah that's crazy for years because i'm ask him that [ __ ] be blowing me like i'm really healed like i'm really in this [ __ ] like i remember sitting home watching this [ __ ] like dawg you don't know how long i practiced this [ __ ] not like saying like practice like i just wonder what i'm gonna say if i ever get though you know what i'm saying like this [ __ ] crazy i'll be blinking out sometimes like this [ __ ] like i feel like i'm gonna wake up or some [ __ ] oh that's like so when you walked in here and you was like man it's crazy it's because you imagine yourself here i'm really like bro this [ __ ] crazy like like i was always like in my head like i wonder what i'm gonna be doing what i'm gonna be saying when i get it you see how dirty the studio is nah i look hot supposed to look like that on youtube i swear i remember watching what's your favorite that sharon song man i'm interested uh i found your head mans on my bedroom floor i forget what the name of that song is the only evidence that you've been here before and i don't get ways of missing you anymore they more like tsunami tights in my eyes yeah that's that phone i forget the name of that song oh it's called you and i you and i'm putting together ed sheeran rod wave collaboration we're gonna make that happen [ __ ] man i'm gonna hit that stick yeah boy you do that what are you up on rod how does your popularity affect your relationship with your girl like i don't know like because me and her we we going at it like we'll be going through some of you won't even know that's how i really want to keep it like i don't really want nobody in our business you know what i'm saying like i feel like if you once you once said everybody get in it's a route you know what i'm saying you might as well hang it up because there's gonna be so many stories so much this so much that especially where we come from because i ain't got no you know i'm saying instagram you know what i'm saying like i got a you know so a regular human being in my eyes so and you know so i like to keep it that way you know what i'm saying things change right on the road all the time and then as you get more popular obviously a lot more people are writing things about you how do you all handle that yeah yeah she just be you know she uh she always she on my team so you know she just i don't know how she handles it but she know i don't really like to see it so she won't even bring it up to me if she sees something she ain't gonna say no is it hard though like you know you're probably getting way more temptation now when you're on the road like two years like even before i was known in the rest of the world i've been known in like florida like i haven't been dealt with that learned how to deal with it you know i'm saying she been right there with me if i went and had my twins she'd probably be right here in here somebody you know i'm saying we just had babies so it kind of slowed us down a little bit you got twins you said yeah what are two girls two boys two girls damn how'd that change cause i'm so used to just being on the go like i'm last minute i jump on the plane right now go anywhere you know what i'm saying but that [ __ ] kind of made me like not want to go nowhere i just want to go home hey you got 20 20 running your family or something hers oh wow wow what's your twin dollars you got her aunties and [ __ ] twins and her cousins [ __ ] yeah man you got twins you got to be on the road hustling your ass off i'm gonna do that regardless by the way yeah i should make you like damn i gotta make you think about the future you know now uh speaking of the future you gotta record um shock the world which to me seems like you're looking forward to your future what does that recommend you like like i never thought of my future how i think about it now today you know what i'm saying so in that song like i'm telling you like how what i did when i got my money and how how i'm doing it and managing it how i'm setting up my career to well you know i'm saying i can cut it on and cut it off you know so y'all gonna see me when i want to be seen tour drop albums and fall back you know what i'm saying when it's time to do all the partying and all go over there and listen to them with that you know what i'm saying but it's time for me to cut it on i can cut it on and cut it off you know what i'm saying so that's what i'm basically saying like you ain't seen nothing yet basically you know what i'm saying what i can do with this [ __ ] you know so crazy i don't know why more people don't follow that like i see kendrick lamar do that i see ed sheeran do that they put out a project that's when they do their interviews and everything else and they go away yeah that's how they left i don't know why this generation think they always got to be on the scene bro but it's like a lot of them just being attention though like a lot of them just feed for that you know i'm saying they feed off of that but a person like me like i don't like that [ __ ] but i don't try to be rude though like people coming up to me with their phones and doing the most like i have to remember like bro you don't want to just like these people help feed your family you know what i'm saying so i try to just i'm getting better at it but i don't know like a lot of [ __ ] just got to be honest like certain shows i won't take certain songs and [ __ ] with [ __ ] i won't do like you know what i'm saying just gotta i don't know we gotta stay out of the way sometimes that is that hard adjusting to because you you do come from the streets when people run up on you with the phone you like man you don't know somebody friend to fold you know yeah because bro rappers rappers be dying bro so it'd be kind of like i'd be like i'm just trying to make it home dawg i don't really be knowing what it's like i don't wanna i don't wanna oh i'd rather get caught with it then without it type [ __ ] but i don't wanna be up in there neither you know what i'm saying it's a lot bro with this [ __ ] bro high security don't let these [ __ ] tell you that security is for suckers higher security man you got to protect yourself bro i'd rather have my [ __ ] with me than on somebody else cause i don't know some of these [ __ ] just be big [ __ ] who just big bro [ __ ] don't really be on nothing they didn't make it to the league yeah they just appeared [ __ ] slap the [ __ ] out only i don't ain't gonna do nothing bro that's why i just had to i really gotta go get my gun likes to do that's what now i believe in the law of attraction right speaking things into existence i feel like you you you do too yeah that's why i talk that's why some some [ __ ] i say like i have to i have to tell people i don't get it twisted like and i'm sorry i'm on the album it's called changing when i say i say damn what i said i said lord come and get me but i ain't ready to die like biggie cause you know he got a song called ready to die you know what i'm saying other album so i say i'm ready i'm ready to go but not like that like i ain't ready i'm living i'm finally living so don't get it twisted like you know what i'm saying i ain't really i ain't like i ain't no suicidal [ __ ] i'm just i just i feel like sometimes i bit off more than i can chew with the music and the fame and all that [ __ ] but you know what i'm saying it's all i have a dream though so i just take the good with the bad you know but you got you got hard times tatted on you your forearms like if you believe in the law of attraction you don't want hard times on you all forever right no but see what people don't see though i got the bricks so it's like symbolizing that that's what i was built off uh you know what i'm saying see the bricks that i got okay so it's kind of hard times like built me and turned me into who i am and who i am becoming you know right so that's right you'll be happier if you could just put out music do your shows and not have to do all the extra stuff that comes with it yeah cause some some stuff you know i'm saying i'll be like i feel like it's unnecessary though but it's what come with it you know like i said part of the business i don't wanna i don't wanna not be doing like hitting the gas and people like feel like i fell off or some [ __ ] like that you know what i'm saying because you know i be like i got my dreams right here in front of me i don't want to let them slip neither you know what i'm saying so be hard to balance it you know what i'm saying all right well let's let's get into your job oh i got some more questions for you brother let's go you know have you have you ever attempted to do like therapy or any type of mental wellness to deal with the pain the trauma maybe music bro on music i feel like i can't really talk to people about no sentimental [ __ ] like it's uncomfortable for me you know yeah yeah probably my my baby mama i could talk about some stuff but still certain situations i don't really want to talk about it but that's good i mean if you sit down with a therapist and it feels uncomfortable that's good because it just means you're growing and you're just getting [ __ ] out you know yeah when i'm in a studio though it's just me i don't have the same engineer for the past two years on the road with me travis harrington we'll be on the road every day in a hotel or we kind of my house so wherever we at bro every day you know what i'm saying on the road with me wherever i'm at here with me right now yeah i'm saying just me and him in the room that's it because if you if everybody gotta get out all that yeah you feel uncomfortable with other people in there because of the stuff you're expressing yeah and so what about when you got to perform it that's what i'm saying like when i perform it everybody's screaming it so it's different it's like y'all understand how i feel that's what's up but when i be right back when i be writing it though or when i'm finna drop it i don't really see it like a bunch of people finna hear it and clinging to it you know that'd be the after effect by the time the world heard it it'd already be out for me you know i was gonna say what does it mean to you they're saying that your album's gonna bump justin bieber out of that number one spot and knock him down to number two how does that make you feel i felt with justin bieber man i was listening to justin bieber when i was in elementary school that's crazy so that's just i just [ __ ] just blowing me you got a good you got a very diverse ear man yeah yeah for sure kevin gates the ed sheeran everybody no yeah i get everybody a try no no invisible scars another dope record on the album what do you think your biggest invisible scar is um oh no man you got this that's what i said maybe not comfortable to talk about that kind of thing you know man you gotta really listen to it though yeah what about the what's love interlude you think it's possible to find a woman out here that that loves you for you and i i feel like right now i think it's i think it's too late you know you know what i'm saying that's why i just that's not why i stay with who who i fought with but that's like one of the reasons because like it's hard to find out you know somebody who was here before it made sense to be here you know what i'm saying that's why some of the songs i laughed at all the people who left you know i was like ah look [ __ ] she [ __ ] up you see what i'm saying right now how you feel now you know what i'm saying but yeah i feel like it's too late now that's why i don't even try something good that was a real story you said she would leave before she ever cheated on you so cheating is a non-negotiable for you yeah man i don't want to talk about it hey keep that energy i don't care what interview you do when they ask you questions i'm saying like i don't want to talk about that man he's looking like how much time we got left was that a true story on what's love when you said the girls came up to you with the ap yeah i was sitting at the um i was sitting at the table and um the girl was sitting i was in vegas and she had um she had an ap on looking at it i was just in the jury still like a couple days before that and i seen like the same one similar but with a different face like that bit like 50 60 racks you know what i'm saying and in my head like i'm i'm like i'm knowing like what he's girl getting his money from whatever the time it is edd everybody's doing a little thing you know say i'm like that [ __ ] that's blowing me cuz i know i'm up i'm up a couple of years and i ain't even got one of them i gotta go get one of them you know what i'm saying i just wonder how is she up to be like that's what she spent her money on but it ain't just her money though she could they always say in business you got to have a nice watch and a firm handshake yeah she had a nice eyes watching when did you know that you made it like what was that point when you were like damn everything i wanted is is happening starting now probably this morning i swear to god my kids but probably this morning [ __ ] jumping off the jet come come straight into the breakfast club song number one on that [ __ ] number one at number two on apple music probably this morning bro i ain't gonna lie i put it on everything i love bro probably like four five hours ago damn and then you got street runner right do you really think you're gonna be running this creeps forever that's that's easy to say at 22 but yeah yeah no though i'm tired now but that's what i'm saying yeah that's what i'm saying in a song like nah i know i'm tired but i just we got a future i got a future to make sure because you know since six seven eight years [ __ ] might be still screaming about broadway but it's hard but it's hard to do that these days people got small attention spans you know so [ __ ] trying to run it up make all the right moves and you know what i'm saying shake all the right hands and do what i need to do right now and we get chill later you know you got the babies to take care of man for sure bro that's why i decided to probably make it home to the uh to them you know did you spend a lot more time at home than you have been this past year just because of the pandemic nah really i've been going but the pandemic really opened my eyes to a lot of stuff like this rapping is not guaranteed i was so used to getting shows and doing a tour and getting money just falling out the sky you know that should kind of really slow down i really had to get out and make like real deal like business moves and do other stuff and i'm saying it really kind of changed the way i view view life i'm saying like what kind of other stuff it's all kind of just had me thinking about real deal business you know what i'm saying i don't really want to jinx nothing because i'm still working on a lot of stuff but just just stuff you know what i'm saying okay that's what i was talking about that earlier being diverse with the different streams of income that you have everything can't just come from one place yeah for sure i'm connecting you in ed man first of all i'm happy that you came i know that you don't like doing interviews and [ __ ]
