Five of the 11 lines are from interviews (Spin in 2012, The Ringer in 2021), and they are about craft and integrity: staying a student of the music, skipping the sensational headline, wanting to be someone's soundtrack. The 6 lyrics come from Daddy Fat Sax (2), Fo Yo Sorrows (2), Tomb Of The Boom and Order Of Operations. Craft and wit tie for the top tag at 3 each. The lyric lines add family, in particular the last words of a father in Tomb Of The Boom.
I write knockout songs, you spit punchlines for money
My daddy told me it was mine for the takin'
A true gift from God, the stars aligned when they made me
My recitals are vital, and may be needed for survival
Like the Bible or any other good book that you read
They just follow us, follow me, follow us, nobody's leading
But everybody eating, or acting like they full
I'm blessed and highly favored, learned the game when I was lil'
I don’t need a sensationalized headline to sell music or to bring attention to my music. It’s the music and it’s always been about the music.
I still picture myself as a student of the music. I’m always trying to learn new things. Music is just what makes me tick.
That power trip is something. Not that I’m anti-police but I’m pro-freedom.
But through my music, I was able to actually be the soundtrack to the lives of people, just create moments in people’s lives.
I got a certain type of recipe over here, man. You don’t need a whole bunch of additives and preservatives. I like to say, “Everything I do is organically created, never genetically modified.”
"You're a champion" were my dad's last words before he passed
But I know one day, we will once more cross paths
