00:40I knew how to record in FL.
00:41I had a little preset and I really just freestyled that motherfucker.
00:46I come and slide by 8 p.m. and send a text to your DM.
00:53We all had a point in our lives where we was fucking with a little vibe
00:56and we just finna pull up and slide.
00:58I'm not even finna ask you.
00:59I love just being the mystery person and being like, yo, I'm finna pull up at 8.

01:31A lot of niggas been broke and they don't really know how the prices is.
01:34It's typical 500.
01:35A lot of times it's a lot more.
01:36Realistically, bro, it's 500.
01:38But if you really want to do something, make it a thousand.
01:40I'm doing thousands now.
01:43Especially after Drake said what he said.
01:44When he came up and said what the fuck he said, I'm like, all right.
01:47He said a thousand.
01:48I got to go 2,000 because he trying to play with me.

02:03When I was making Day to 8, I seen a female getting ready.
02:06Tired of everything.
02:07She's just tired of boy shit.
02:08She's tired of the niggas that cheated on her.
02:11Tired of trying to look good for niggas.
02:12So she said, look, I'm going to look good for myself.
02:14And I portrayed it as, look, I'm going to help her out.
02:16I'm going to do this for her.
02:17Not because I'm just tricking.
02:19Just because I see fuck with her.
02:27My favorite type of dresses is when the female wear the skin tight dress.
02:31It's either got to be gray or black.
02:33And the ass just pop out just right.
02:34It's not too crazy, but it's just right.
02:36You tell they working out because the waist real skinny.
02:39And they might have to wear their hair slick back on some real cute shit.
02:42And then they have the heels to match.
02:44That shit be looking good as a motherfucker.
02:46I buy you shit because you wear it.
02:48And plus because you know I care.
02:50Every female can be like, I'm a bad bitch.
02:53But it's different when you got a personality.
02:56You fly.
02:56You on your shit.
02:57You smart.
02:58You intelligent.
02:59That's what makes somebody rare.
03:00And then if you have the combo, the ass, the face, personality.
03:04Oh my God.
03:05After that, if I find out, I'm just going to be like, yo, what's your ring size?
