[Em] Everybody doing 20 songs.
No, we're giving you seven.
We don't wanna give you 20 songs.
We don't like that.
Cause it's 20 of trash.
Daytona really speaks to the luxury of time
and being able to have the luxury of time
and being respectful of your time as well.
[E] [Em]
[N] I think everybody's been hearing about these Utah sessions,
these Wyoming sessions.
This session in particular, I believe was in Utah.
It is extremely expensive to be here for me.
For him probably not so much,
but for me to be there, it's extremely expensive.
And we get there and he is spending 10 days
just finding samples.
So, first day you chill, you go work out,
you laugh with your friends, we joking,
the chef is cooking, it's fun.
By day three, you're wondering why, what's happening.
Day four, he may not come out the room all day.
Day seven, hey, I like this.
I think this is for you.
Drug dealer Benz's with gold diggers in them
and elevator condos on everything I love.
The games we play just speaks to the competitive nature
of the hustler.
Even in celebration, it's competition.
This ain't a wave or a phase cause all that shit fades.
This lifestyle's forever when you made.
This is like super authentic rap.
Superhero rap lyrics, superhero bars, superhero production.
There's nothing wave or phase about anything
that's going on in this song.
This is hip hop at its purest form right here.
They tweet about the length, I made him wait.
What the fuck you expect when a nigga got a cape
and he's great?
They sit around and they tweet all day
like big grown weird men tweeting about
where's my album, where's this?
I mean tweeting, commenting, it's so weird.
Oven's full of cakes that he bakes,
still spreading paste.
The love just accentuates the hate.
This is for my body building clients moving weight.
Just add water, stir it like a shake.
Again, another play on drug culture.
All the street nuances, but put into terms
that go on with just everyday culture.
Play amongst the stars like the roof in the Wraith.
Get the table next to mine, make a bottle serve as Wraith.
I'm actually talking about the club.
Come to the club, if you in a club with me,
come play amongst the stars.
Come play amongst the ballers, the real ballers.
You got one table, somebody else got a table next to you.
Listen to me, your waitress can come back and forth
with 30 bottles or so on and so forth.
Claiming to be that guy and actually being that guy.
A lot of this is done for the attention of females.
The whole catalyst for what the reason
we've been acting this level of foolishness.
To all of my young niggas, I am your ghost and your ray.
This is my purple tape.
Only built for Cuban links is the holy grail
of a rap album, of a street rap album.
It is nicknamed the purple tape.
The purple tape is an album that I have tried
to make numerous times and have not been able
to even come close to it until now.
Save up for rainy days and baby mama wishes
along with the side bitches.
They try to coexist, end up wishing you die bitches.
Stood on every couch in the A at the black party.
Friend of mine by the name of Rugs,
he has a really famous black party
and a white party actually in Atlanta.
It's really all about just having a good time,
showing off, spending money.
It's like a hustler's retreat.
That's how I look at it.
We can really, really harness that street energy
that is an inspiration to all of my music.
No jewelry on but you richer than everybody.
You laugh a little louder.
The DJ say your name a little prouder
and we don't need a globe to show you the world is ours.
The Scarface globe, the world is mine.
It was a real celebratory moment, you know what I'm saying?
And of course, Tony did die at the globe,
but more so it's about that guy who's standing
on the couch who's saying,
look, if you don't know that I got it, baby,
you gotta be blind.
We can bet a hundred thousand with my safe hole.
My number's looking like a bank code.
Ain't no stopping the champagne from popping,
the drawers from dropping, the laws from watching.
We're yay back chopping.
The cars and the women come with options.
The chop on the games we play alone is like neck breaking.
Caviar facials remove the toxins.
This ain't for the conscious.
This is for the mud made monsters
who grew up on legends from out of Yonkers.
The locks probably have given me
my favorite mixtape moments ever
that pushed me into rap, seriously.
Influenced by niggas straight out of Compton.
The scale never lies.
I'm 2.2 incentivized.
If you ain't energized like the bunny for drug money
or been paralyzed by the sight of a drug mummy,
this ain't really for you.
This is for the Goya Montoya who said I couldn't stop,
but afforded me all their lawyers.
At this particular time,
we were dealing with a certain individual.
Guess you'd call him the plug.
I think something crazy was going on at home.
Like yo, it's getting hot, so on and so forth.
And he basically was like, nah, you can't.
No, you gotta, you know, you're not allowed to stop.
Like, what do you mean?
No.
The only kingpin who ain't sinking.
Chest moves have made my third eye ain't blinking.
Stay woke nigga or get out.
Still pulling whips out.
Still spread the chips out.
Might buy your bitch some new hips and yank a rib out.
It's definitely a culture for that.
These are the games that we play.
And definitely a rib will be yanked out
and a pair of hips could be bought,
you know, under certain circumstances.
This message in this music,
all my niggas had to live out.
It's seven songs.
What I was trying to do in the seven songs
was just speak and galvanize all the energy
of what happens in my world.
All the ignorance of, you know,
showing that you got it to blow.
[Em]
No, we're giving you seven.
We don't wanna give you 20 songs.
