My mama had 8 kids, she was a drug addict, and she smoked crack most prevalently when she was pregnant with me. Funny story, what's today? So about 2 weeks ago I met who was supposed to be my daddy. What do you wish more people were talking more about you? How I'm the greatest rapper alive even though nobody wants to admit it. How I'm better than a lot of the niggas that y'all grew up on. Is you a money long dating or no? You talk to her? What she say? Is she still married? Why we can't be friends though? Y'all are not friends. Her name ain't George but I'm curious. This nigga slicking and out shit in a plastic pipe. Bro listen! Boy you slicking and wearing sperm. They give you a lot of shit about how you dress. I see the white collar sticking out but like, ain't nothing else white. Still nothing white. What do you identify as? Like, religion? He's a man. Religion? Why do you think people question your sexuality? Without Michael Jackson was gay, without Prince was gay, without 100 3000, without Young Thug, without Wayne. We thought they were all gay. They're not questioning your sanity, your religious beliefs, or your sexual preferences. You ain't pushing the envelope far enough. Do you feel the support? I feel the love. I don't always feel the support but I do feel the love. It's like, you can get on Instagram, like, like, like, like, He's the greatest rapper, this nigga, call, blah, blah, blah, blah. Well, I'm going on tour, come out and see me man. Just come out and support, buy a ticket. Do you think you've earned the right for a person to pay for your performance? I pray for patience. It's testament. I pray for God to make me harder working. It's testament. So when a ticket's not selling out, what do I do? So when a ticket's not selling out, what do I do? And so when things are happening, it's like, God, why? It's like, why don't you just ask me for discernment? People mistake me for a rapper, or mistake me for whatever they mistake me for. Pimp, Kimi Katz, all of this. I don't rap for a living. I do my best for a living. I do my best for a living.
