(Uh 1, 2, 3
The song starts with a countdown before the music begins.
Let’s go!)
Encouragement to begin.

Reflecting on personal creative endeavors, striving to create music in a unique manner.
Took a break but I’ve been writing, also tryna pave the way

DI gonna rule one day

All that negativity that you be tryna throw my way
Acknowledgment of negative energy directed towards the artist.
It will never get to me so you can get up out my face

Keep on hatin’ but I promise you gon’ feel some type of way
