Yeah, that's what it felt like, though. It might not have been that. That's what it felt like, though. And that ain't got nothing to do with him. You feel me? We was bruh. It was just that happened too quick. That I can really say this is my career. Like, I can say it happened so quick that it was probably too much for everybody and not just me. But at first I used to look at it like, man, that was too much for me, bro. Like, before that, I was in a two bedroom apartment that was getting shot up. My mama's at that, like, seven in there. My sister's in there. Still. Still going to school every day, whatever. Like, I look at it like it was just too much for everybody from me, bruh, Interscope, everybody. You feel me? You feel me? Cause I did my part. Like, I ain't never end up how any of my peers ended up that we was doing the same thing on and off Instagram. We was doing the same exact thing. I ain't end up like nobody else. I ain't never get one of my close partners indicted. You fear me killed. Nothing I ain't do. I felt like. I felt like. Only thing I did wrong was just off money. Because I'm a genuine guy at heart. Already with anybody I come across, like the bus driver, the janitor, the president, everybody got, like, no big use. No, you hear me? Whatever. So I'm like, man, it was just too much, bro. It was just too much for everybody. Like, because like I say, it can feel or it can even look like something to y', all, but over here is something totally different. Like, I was really surviving my whole time over there. Not even just with Billion Dollar Baby, like, with Interscope being our help. I was surviving. I wasn't. I wasn't top of the line like everybody thought it would, bro. Was top of the line for sure for me. I was, like, surviving. I was trying to get through the. I was trying to. I'm paying lawyer fees. I'm doing, like, everything that artists do around my age. Like, thinking that we grown already or, like, oh, yeah, I'm a man. Like, I'm out here. You feel me? So, like, I say, I can say, yeah, it felt like that, or it even looked like that. But now I'm 29 years old and I can look back on. Wake up every day with my wife, breakfast, lunch, dinner, feel me, wake up with my son, go to the studio when I want to. Like, I see this for what it really is. So I know when a get on that, talking about, like, man, I gotta take this risk for the family, gotta get away from that. Be cap that shit. Be total cap. Because I know, like, even now, I'm bigger than I was before, bro. I just was, like, streaming music and it was dropping so much. I was dropping it through a company or whatever, versus, like, now that's what I'm getting back to doing. But my music is better than it's ever been. I'm really, like, genuinely happy. I really feel like I was talking to Young Thug the other day. He was like, how'd you. For real, bro? How'd you feel? I said, I'm better than I ever been. Like, I ain't just saying that to you either. I'm better than I ever been before I got some money. When I got some money, like, everything, bro. I look at it like a lesson and not a loss. So I just say it was just too much for everybody. But it was supposed to happen. It. It put me in position to be Here today fear me. It put me in position to learn, like, about a lot of stuff that a lot of guys can't come in that bit with the biggest rapper at the time. Like, I'm coming through here with the baby. So I'm gonna meet Drake, I'm gonna meet Gucci, I'm gonna meet every rapper. I'm gonna watch this rapper do lame that I used to look up to out. I'm gonna watch. I'm gonna see all of it femi. And then when I finally get to that moment with myself where I'm like, man, why ain't text this back? Or why I follow this? What am I doing? Like, this ain't me. I get to break down all that that I seen from everything. And I. And then I just tell myself, like, it was supposed to happen like that versus before my wife came around too. I was definitely telling myself, all right, bet. I'm about to move to Houston. About to move to Houston. I'm about to run on some paper. You feel me? I'm about to woo. I'm about to take a break from North Carolina before I go to jail or do something wrong. Feel me? I'm about to move to Houston. I'm about to. And then when I meet her, I damn near start telling myself, like, I did my first on the radar. I did that first interview. I told him in an interview, I was like, man, I'm done rapping. And from there. From there. When I said that out loud, like, I'm done rapping. I ain't do no freestyle. On the radar. From there, that's when everybody come up with the narrative. Oh, baby did this. He dropped him. He did it. He's gonna feel out. But I really, literally, like, was that on the radar, like, just burnt? You can go look at the interview right now. Like, look at my face and you can tell, like, bro, that did not want to do this. Like, I was sober in that interview, but I was just like, man, this, like, everything about it is not what I expected. Like, feel me?
