As I started getting older and started to learn about the world, my friends would tell me about video games and dirt bikes and stuff, and I'd be like, "Oh, I got none of that." I started asking questions, like, "Why we can't get this stuff?" And it was like, "Well, we work hard to make sure da da da..."

Once I come up with the concept, the rest of the song just comes.

I don't like all this business stuff. I like stocks.

The best thing that happened is I kept my promises. I ain't run out on nobody.

I've always been my own person. I don't do what people want me to do. Like, if you want me to do that, I'm going to do the complete opposite.

I am my own mentor. I like to listen to myself to improve.

I went from trying to get people just to listen to my music, not necessarily knowing me, to this. I didn't want to be known, because I didn't want to be Fetty Wap... Me, I'm just a background guy.
