"Ex Calling" was literally a collage of all
my exes.
I just combined them into one mega ex and
just made a song about all of them.
“Ex Calling” is inspired by Future’s
“Perkys Calling.”
I remember I heard maybe the first minute
and a half or just the first half of the song,
and I immediately loved the beat.
Loved the melody that he did.
And I stopped in the middle of the song, and
was like "Cool."
That's all I need to...
I know I want to remake it, so let me just
not listen all the way.
Let me keep fresh ears, so I can put my own
spin on it.
And I just downloaded the beat and got into
it.
I think the point of me saying that so many
times is because I have no idea why the fuck
she's calling.
I literally don't know why she's calling.
It's nothing I can do for you.
That line isn't even tied to money.
It's just like, I can't afford to pay you
a thousand hours of time when I got shit I
need to be doing.
I've gotten some crazy text messages.
If I tell you, you won't even understand why
somebody would say something like that.
I've gotten regular insults before, but I've
gotten, "You're a spawn of the blah blah blah
sent from the depths of..."
I'm just reading it like, "Why would you say
that?”
Quick lil’ shoutout.
That's where the song came from.
Bottom line.
Because I see people on the internet all the
time like, "He stole Future's beat!"
And it's like, bro do you know how long people
have been doing remixes of songs and flips
and covers?
But that's the internet.
I know I'm obviously not perfect.
Obviously I can't do everything that you want
me to do when you want me to do it.
If you gotta think about it and decide and
ponder on
the shit, just go ahead and choose somebody
else.
Don't choose me.
I do R&B music for the most part, but I started
off battle rapping.
At any time I could just pull a wildcard verse
out and just be like...don’t forget.
I keep bars tucked.
I keep them on tuck.
"Run It", Chris Brown.
If you don't know what that is, I would say
you're too young, but that don't even mean
you're old.
That just means you my age.
I've been able to be in different rooms in
different streets and different hoods and
see things and kind of know what's for me
and what's not for me.
Or kind of know where I should be and where
I shouldn't be.
I've lived in that and been able to be like,
"Alright this is cool, but there's more stuff
out there for me, so let me get up out of
here."
So, "Been about that bird talk" is basically
me saying, "I don't have to talk chickens.
Ain't gotta talk coke.
Ain't gotta talk drugs.
I'm going to put niggas in their feelings."
That's just my thing right now.
You know how you have, not your first heartbreak,
but that first thing where you're just like,
"Damn.
I thought this was going to work."
For that one time in my life, I kind of felt
like I fell back from everything.
I stopped writing as much and I wasn't doing
as much to further myself because I was trying
to figure that shit out.
That's unless she got nice brown skin good
credit man and long hair."
Then I might have to make an exception.
