So, I was in the lab with Day Trip and Kidd
and they started playing the keys with the
drum.
That beat made me like reminisce because it
just took me back to a place because it's
just so hard.
You know what I'm saying?
The beat is just so fucking hard.
So, when I heard that shit I was like Goddamn.
You know what I'm saying?
So, I was just, I was broke as fuck.
You know, it just brought me back.
That was the first thing I said.
So, this brought me back to that place and
that whole song is just like one whole memory.
I had broke as fuck and I liked it how short
it was.
Cause I know Niggas was going like repo...
I just liked it just being one verse and two
hooks.
Know what I'm saying being a story, but I
was like Yo.
I was in the lab with Smoko, shout out Smoko,
and he had this beat him and Kid and I was
like Yo, oh this would be really ill.
As soon as I heard I was like, Yo, I started
writing to it.
I was like Yo, this would be really ill as
a beat change after broke as fuck, they was
like, yeah.
And then we heard the two, I put them two
in the same session file and I heard them
back to back.
I was like, Oh fuck.
I was like, Oh yeah, this is ill.
Those lines was like taking me back to the
time where I was broke like when I was broke,
that's when I was wearing the designer shit.
I had, I was a broke college 
student wearing Balenciagas.
I had like chains with had mad designers.
When I got money I was like...
That's when I took a step back.
But now I just wear like, I'm still, you see
I'm still.
This is my merch, you know the cop a hoodie
now.
You know what I'm saying?
My cousin Kwan got shot by his best friend,
you know what I'm saying?
Over a dice game.
I played 2K with this nigga.
I've hooped with the guy who shot my cousin
over some dice.
It's like you're in a fucking like a magic
spaceship inside my brain and I'm basically
describing all this shit you'll pass by.
You know, like my earliest memory when I was
first born, back when Niggas told me I wouldn't
make it.
The cells of a don.
So it's just like one big trip.
Now let me take a trip down memory Lane.
It's kind of like that thing, but inside my
literal brain.
I remember when I was in high school and my
big homeys had the wheels and we was just...
I couldn't wait for like the new album, dope
albums to come out.
I remember Good Kid, M.A.A.D City that came
out when I was in...
Eighth grade or ninth grade when that came
out, but I just remember that being such a
dope time, you know what I'm saying?
We were just with the homies just playing
that shit.
Like I remember that's the year when Schoolboy
Q, dropped That Part.
Fucking Mac Miller, Watching Movies With The
Sound Off.
It was just a barrage of really good music
coming out at that time.
That's the dope thing about music.
When you play certain songs, it automatically
takes you back to when you first heard it
or like a different point in your life.
Music is almost like a treasure capsule.
Nah.
It wasn't luck, but like from the outside
you'll think it was luck.
You know?
Because I'm using that as a metaphor.
Like how the fuck did this nigga make $1 million
from nothing?
You know?
How did he become a millionaire from nothing,
like shit.
Like dummy luck, you know?
But it's, it's not luck.
This shit was pre-planning.
You know what I'm saying?
This is destined, if you will.
The first time I got on a private jet, the
first and only time like shit, I was like,
I can't wait until like, this is the only
way I fly.
You know what I'm saying?
I feel so good right now.
This feels so fucking amazing.
I remember i was in the lab with Meek.
I was like, "Damn, I never been on a jet before".
He was like, "Oh, you gonna get on it.
Trust me.
That's about to be the only way you fly".
And that really meant a lot to me.
You know what I'm saying?
I was like, "Damn, Meek Mill just told me
about to only be flying on private soon".
I remember I had the...
It's old pictures you can find a had three
chains.
I used to always wear the three gold chains,
bucket hat and some brand new J's.
I always like traded shoes when I was younger.
You know what I'm saying?
I stayed trading shoes going to the sneaker
con.
So I was like a fucking sneaker head.
Like had all the J's.
That was one particular Christmas.
It was like shit was really bad and I couldn't
really get too much...especially for black
families for Christmas.
Your family be broke as fuck, but like Christmas
is still...
You won't know.
We make sure we show out for Christmas, but
that one particular Christmas I still...
That just stuck with me.
Why I couldn't really get nothing.
AAU was dumb expensive.
I remember I tried out for the AAU team called
6th Man and I made but then they hit nigga's.
I wasn't nicer.
If you dumb nice, you don't got to pay shit.
But, I wasn't nice enough to get the free
shit.
Everybody else brought that shit be like five
hundred, four hundred, $600 plus travels.
You know what I'm saying?
My mom was like, nigga what?
Like this, like come on.
Watermelon is the best jolly rancher.
Easy.
And they be dumb cheap.
For a dollar nigga, you'd be good off the
jolly ranchers for the whole couple of days.
Niggas don't know about having candy ladies
in they neighborhood, not the ice cream truck.
This the lady in the neighborhood who sell
candy and snacks and shit.
Like Niggas don't know about that.
I'd rather premonise and speak these great
things into existence rather than looking
back at, you know, the fuck shit in my past.
