00:00When I start balling the family, 16 probably, yeah, I was probably like 16, but a lot of
00:04people know I hoop heavy, like worked out all that shit.
00:07But yeah, a lot of niggas know see me grow up that I know of, but like the internet,
00:11when they be trying to tell me all this shit, it don't describe like nothing.
00:14It's all wrong for real, but I'm not never going to go on the internet and be like, I
00:18did this, this and this and I'm on that and that.
00:21You can think whatever for real, cause I'm at where I'm at.
00:23Yeah, that's how I'm coming for real, honey.
00:30When I made Tweaker in the studio, it was a turnt up night, I already had it written,
00:36so I was coming in, like knowing I was about to have that shit, I told Banks.
00:40I was like, bro, this is going to be some shit, like just hear this.
00:43Banks was like, damn.
00:44That's some of the code of shit I heard for sure, he was like, and we played it on the
00:47way home, you know, send it to my brothers and shit and everybody was like, damn, hear
00:52that song rocking.
00:53And then we all just had it like that for some weeks for real and then, I mean, I went
00:56on Neon stream that random day and I'm like, hold on, we been listening to this shit.
00:59And then Neon heard that shit and then it took off on this chat.
01:16I say tweaking is probably, for me, it's just mean, like, another word for like you wildin'.
01:20Like you doing something that shouldn't be getting done or you just a quick thought or
01:25a quick impulsive decision, you tweaking.
01:29The story wrote, you want to tweet, get up with me and I'm going to show you how that
01:32go.
01:33Yeah, I got tattoos, started getting them at 17.
01:35Since like third grade, I was like, shit, I used to be drawing all types of shit.
01:39Like I was like, yeah, I'm going to get tatted.
01:41But when I say, bitch, we tatted, head to toe, we'll give a fuck the story wrote.
01:45If you really tap into my tattoos, there's a lot of meaning into them.
01:48And I'm like, so fuck what they say, the story wrote, like it's already on me.
01:51Like the money in my pockets, blow, whoa, they having convos about me, these pussy niggas
01:56don't know.
01:57They having convos about me, they don't know.
02:00If they don't know, I really don't care, you feel me?
02:02I'm not about to be explaining myself to the world like that.
02:05I know what I dealt with, niggas around me know what I been on, so that's good enough.
02:09Like I don't be looking for validation like that, really.
02:24For y'all that don't know, I'm from the West Coast, you know, that's why I say I'm not
02:28from the South, but kick with my Memphis twin.
02:30Originally my Memphis twin, J. Crutch, man, Hoop, he a hooper.
02:39When I was thinking of that, I just say, you see a nigga acting bothered, it could be something
02:48so little.
02:49I see it sometimes, right?
02:50A nigga be looking at you, he just be like, man bro, talking about you saying some weird
02:55shit.
02:56I don't know, this is all in your business.
02:57That's why I said, see a nigga acting bothered, got my green light to red dot him.
03:00Like in other words, like fuck it, fuck him.
03:02You spot me, ho, I'm sorry.
03:04I can't take you and get gnarly.
03:05Look like your nigga want smoke or we gon' do this shit regardless.
03:08Listen, I started from the bottom, just like you, but I was harder.
03:10I came up with fucking soldier, nigga.
03:12Shout out to my father.
03:16He make sure I make it farther.
03:22My trust in God, glocks and dollars.
03:24Yeah, I get a lot of props to my pop.
03:26Since a young kid, like he ain't never sheltered niggas or hid shit.
03:30Like he just told us what it was, showed us the right shit.
03:32I say he instilled like that soldier mentality, I guess.
03:36Even like since a young kid, I always thought I was above shit.
03:40I don't know.
03:41I'm faster than you nigga.
03:42I could jump higher.
03:43I always thought I was the greatest at everything I did, but I feel like them thoughts came from
03:47him.
03:48Cause he was telling us straight up when we was young ass kids.
03:50He was like, you could go do that bullshit, but you gon' fuck up.
03:53You gon' be in jail or you gon' die doing some bullshit.
03:56Or you could hoop and get some money and you know, do all the right shit, nigga.
03:59But he was like, it's on y'all.
04:01Do whatever.
04:02But I was like, shit, that's not a hard decision as a kid.
04:04Like, I want some money.
04:05I want a hoop, nigga.
04:06I feel like he instilled that.
04:07So I give a lot of respect to my pops for being there, showing us that shit.
04:10Dodge Demon.
04:29It's probably one of the fastest cars for her, I think.
04:31And the green one I got, they only made 50 of them.
04:34My brother got an Apollo I got, Rolls Royce, Demons, and G-Wags and all that shit.
04:39Nello got like seven cars.
04:45I just say that because a lot of niggas be talking crazy.
04:49Like, oh, he's weird, he does this, he does that.
04:52But no disrespect, but a lot of women like cars and nice shit.
04:55So if you pull up and flee the rocket ships, they gon' be a little interested.
04:59So it's just like, don't even be hating, gang.
05:01Just hide your bitch.
05:09Baby, you wanna cry and shit.
05:10I rest my Glock against some fucking waste.
05:12I got some pot to lick.
05:13Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
05:16I could tell when somebody go in and I feel like it's not hard for me.
05:20I mean, I seen a lot of grown up business shit.
05:23I seen my pops do a lot of business.
05:25I just pick up things.
05:26I seen so much when I was little.
05:28I mean, I been to 18 countries in my teens and shit.
05:31So I just seen so much.
05:32I just know how to make my own decisions now.
05:34Smart enough.
05:43I'm not looking for you to rock with me, honestly.
05:45But if you do, I could kind of tell.
05:47That's all I'm saying.
05:48Like, if you rock with me, then rock with me.
05:50Be real.
05:51I don't need no more enemies.
05:52Like, don't be trying to be, oh, you great.
05:54And then talking that bullshit somewhere else.
05:56Like, you know, if you don't fuck with me, don't fuck with me.
06:00I had a hard fall this, I don't know, some couple days ago or some shit.
06:05Maybe yesterday.
06:06You know, I'm a little jarred up, but let me explain to y'all.
06:09So I'm going on this scooter, right?
06:11It ain't no, like, street scooter.
06:12It's on some next level shit.
06:14It goes 75 miles per hour.
06:16I'd say I go in 30s, right?
06:18In the bike, like, the wheels start tweaking.
06:20I'm going straight, too.
06:21So flat land.
06:22And the wheels start doing this.
06:24And that shit just, like, it broke to the side.
06:27And then the bike, like, went forward.
06:29So I just, like, slammed that shit.
06:31But my feet was in the air.
06:32Like, it propelled my ass.
06:34You feel me?
06:35So my feet was in the air.
06:36Before I hit the ground, I put my hands down.
06:38Look.
06:39Talking about shit, I put my hands down.
06:41I try to stop it.
06:42I'm like, don't hit your head.
06:43That's all I'm thinking when I'm rolling.
06:45Cause my feet straight up.
06:46And I just put my hands down.
06:47My shit folded.
06:48I rolled on my shoulder.
06:50Well, I hit my shoulder.
06:51Like, my head dragged a little.
06:53And my body bounced.
06:54And my feet came back.
06:55Well, I caught myself.
06:56Like, when my feet came back up, I landed on them.
06:59I'm like, we good?
07:00I'm sweating and shit.
07:01Like, that was crazy for me.
07:03But it opened my eyes.
07:04I'm like, I shouldn't be doing all that wild shit.
07:06You know?
