Outside the Lines With Rap Genius – Meyhem Lauren Excerpt #1- "Thousand Dollar Gym Shoes" Lyrics
Featuring: Meyhem Lauren
SameOldShawn: In "Thousand Dollar Gym Shoes," maybe just because of how you open it talking about your dad like we talked about the last time I saw you -- it always seemed like that song was special to you
Meyhem Lauren: It's just a vibe. When Tommy first played me that beat, it kinda had an old-school, 70's feel that made me want to talk about my father. It had a fun vibe to it also. That's why the hook is playful and it's like, "thousand dollar gym shoes," it's a funny thing to make a hook about. We wear expensive sneakers but sometimes it's just an eccentric thing. I really can't call it. I just had fun with that one
