That is specific to one person but it’s not a shirt, it was another piece of clothing, and it wasn’t that they had my shit. It was that I had their shit. But it really is just like, the whole idea of trying to get back something that you lost from the relationship. I left my shirt over there, I left my video games at your house or whatever. That last moment of like, “Let’s link up and talk it out and figure it out.” You’re not really supposed to do that, you know? When it becomes over so many small symbolic things, materialistic things, you can put a lot of energy into trying to get that back.

It’s tough when you go through a breakup, I’m sure, ‘cause I’ve been through them. I didn’t wanna make a song that was all a diss song to my exes, that’s just not how I was even feeling. So I think the idea here is like, it gets tough right before you have a breakthrough. That’s usually when you have a breakthrough. So I kinda just wanted to illustrate a horizon with complete pitch blackness right before the sun starts to peak right over the top.

Usher headlined a concert for my first ever, like I started a production company recently and we had our first ever show. It was a concert anniversary stream celebration of the Special Olympics. He was one of the headliners, and he put on one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. But it was funny, ‘cause I said that line after I booked him. It was just like, it was weird 'cause I think just everything during that time period was a big influence. It’s not at all anything about Usher. I think Usher’s shit was made up anyway, I feel like didn’t that come out that he just made up the confessions, it wasn’t really about him cheating on anybody? It was really just like, I’m cool with my music sounding like I’m doing good shit, 'cause I’m doing good shit. I don’t wanna be in a place where I’m doing bad shit having to make bad shit music.

I think the first line is just in response, me hyping myself up. Just understanding it’s not going to be hard for me to stay away from that shit or for me to keep from relapsing into whatever it is that I was on because I’m not finna reach out to my ex. I’m not finna go have lunch with her, I’m not finna talk to her about shit. It ain’t shit to talk about, and it’s not even about a specific ex. It’s like, the “Luckily my ex ugly,” is just me saying my past life, my everything that got me to here wasn’t shit.

I feel like the most maturation that I’ve had in my life is becoming a dad. Made me do everything different. The way I walk, the way I talk to people, how much time I spend in the studio, how much time I spend with the rest of my family. It made me closer to the rest of my family and just gave me a better understanding of love as a whole. My daughter is the most loving person I know, and very inquisitive, very active all the time but extremely well spoken. She can count to 15, she knows all her colors. She’s two, like, but she’s incredibly smart and very, very funny. Like she knows how to make a joke at this age and that’s awesome to me.

It’s kind of just a joke, a dig at my girl, because she claims North Side, even though she’s really from Houston.

I feel like everybody should definitely be able to do what they want to their own bodies. I’m really just talking to the people that also are struggling with their body image, but still got the natural booty, like you gotta just know your shit. That shit as it is, that shit is A-1, so you don’t gotta do no alterations. Straight.

It was just a feeling of trying to hype up who I’m with, and just letting them know, “You’re one of one, yo.” People trying to make themselves out to look like you, like through surgery, through lip products, through all types of shit. But you you. You know what I mean? “You need a name tag.” It’s just a hyperbole, like acting like this person has taken you name, too.

Investment banking—you get to a certain point, and it’s not on that Chase level anymore. That vault level. I don’t know. It’s just a fun song. I don’t know what most of this shit means.
