Dudes are getting big deals." And I'm like, "Yo, nah, but let's not -" Yo." And it's like, "You know, P, the industry's getting good now. Things are good and we got the CD deck with the mansion" kind of thing. And what was happening in the industry at that time was a lot of dudes were like, "Hey, we're just happy to be here. So how I was doing it at that time, like I was holding on to that. F- this and f- the world." That kind of thing. Because even the verse that I kicked on our joint, on the Tribe joint, I was just a little - where I was with it, I was on the rebellious tip, just that rebel vibe.

I'm not like, "Oh, I want to go out into the world," like on some - no, nah, it was none of that.
