How's he God if he lets Lucifer let loose on us?
The 4 interview lines, all from The Bitter Southerner in 2024, are all about craft and growth: giving only what he's feeling, never claiming to be the best at anything, wanting listeners to feel change. The other 9 of the 13 lines are lyrics, led by Sixteen (3) and Throw Some D's (Remix) (2). Craft is the top theme (6), and Sixteen is where it gets sharpest, with a line that calls the verse limit itself "like a cage".
So, I typed a text to a girl I used to see
Sayin' that I chose this cutie pie with whom I wanna be
And I apologize if this message gets you down
Then I CC'ed every girl that I'd see-see 'round town
Miss Donda, you see my mama, tell her I'm lost
If models are made for modelin'
Thick girls are made for cuddlin'
Switch worlds and we can huddle then
I don't budge, don't want much, just a roof and a porch
And a Porsche, and a horse, and unfortunately, but of course
An assortment of torches that scorches the skin
But, I only get sixteen, that's like a cage, you know?
The thing is, I can only give what I’m feeling. I’m interested in discovery. If there’s not any discovery, it doesn’t feel real to me.
I’ve never considered myself the best producer or the best singer or the best rapper or any of those separate categories. But one thing I do have confidence in is my feeling.
My life meant something. My trying times, my fucked-up times in this world has meant something. I wasn’t just here.
But I just want people to hear and to see and feel the movement, to see and feel the change, the journey of it.
They say get down on ya knees, we say, "What the fuck you want?"
Ain't a hood nigga, but a nigga from the ho-od
See, mama stayed on me, so I turned out pretty go-od
We work nights, we some vampires
