00:00I'm only trying to compliment the music.
00:03I'm the last instrument in the beat.
00:04I'm the last stem in the session.
00:07Versus like, did you hear what I said?
00:08Like, nah, like, you didn't hear what I said.
00:10For me, the music should sound good
00:12whether you understand, whether you speak English or not.
00:16It should still, you should still feel me.
00:18You don't have to be a Cannabis fan
00:21to understand me anymore.
00:23Like, you don't have to be into Lyrical Miracle.
00:27I just want to connect with you.
00:30I had lost my brother, Doe Burger, Armani Stringer.
00:37You feel what I'm saying?
00:38If you know me, you know how dear he is to me, not was.
00:42Soul Burger is me.
00:43I tried to, you know, blend my world with his
00:47because we were just as different as we were the same.
00:50We yin and yang.
00:51So I really did my best to merge the two of us together.
00:57Belly is probably my favorite movie.
00:58If it's not Belly, it's Forrest Gump.
00:59It's also a movie me and Doe both enjoy, right?
01:02I just always wanted to, wanted to use that.
01:04Back to life, back to reality.
01:08And I'm like, whoa, we love, this is a classic song, period.
01:12Even before Belly, like everybody loves that record.
01:21Coming to the stage, this new brother.
01:25I like this brother.
01:27He goes by the name of Soul Burger.
01:29My whole intention was to make it seem like
01:31I was in like a speakeasy, slam poetry, open mic night.
01:35Joey Badass, you know what I'm saying?
01:37He's really like, really family.
01:38He's been killing it on the screen.
01:40So I thought it would be dope to have him
01:43display those talents.
01:45My daughter Carson just said daddy for the first time.
01:49And Callie trying to get up and run track.
01:51Carson and Callie are my daughters.
01:53They're twins, fraternal.
01:55Beautiful works of art.
01:57I at least did two things right on this Earth.
01:59I know that for a fact.
02:00And it was da-da before ma-ma, yeah, ha-ha.
02:03Ha-ha, I won.
02:07I like to call myself the guy that rap.
02:09And all of y'all should call me that.
02:12I hit the studio and talk like that.
02:15Leave that motherfucker and feel like a fraud.
02:17A lot of times in hip hop, a lot of us as MCs,
02:21you know, when we go into the booth,
02:23we act as if we're the one.
02:25Anybody can get it.
02:26So it's like almost directed at everybody,
02:30but no one at the same time.
02:34I be, you know, rhyming like I'm doing all this
02:38and in actuality, bro,
02:42I struggle just like you.
02:43I'm not, you know, don't get it twisted.
02:46And I'm also aware of the fact that
02:48if you learn these lyrics,
02:49every time you say I, you are just as big.
02:53I'm allowing us all to speak highly of ourselves.
02:56In all honesty, I believe the truth will set you free.
03:00Am I an inmate?
03:02I got secrets I'm gonna die with.
03:05Am I the greatest or an ingrate?
03:09Am I a victim or a villain with a moral compass?
03:14You see the duality.
03:15Am I really like great or do I have a lot of work to do?
03:19Like that's something that we all battle.
03:20You know what I'm saying?
03:21Good example is you remember on like,
03:22I think it was the last Equalizer,
03:24Denzel, like he had got harmed
03:25and then this doctor saved him.
03:27The doctor asked him, was he a good man?
03:30He said he didn't know.
03:31Most good people don't say that they're good people.
03:34They don't know.
03:35Did my dirt all by my lonely, no accomplice.
03:39So when the shit hits the fan,
03:42I be sipping a pot thick red, but I won't be whining.
03:47No boo-hoos, more like BB and CC,
03:51church on the move.
03:53You know, I did my dirt all by my lonely,
03:55no accomplice, right?
03:56I'm taking full accountability for myself
03:59and all of my actions as a man.
04:01I won't be whining, a pot thick red.
04:03That's when the poetry just kind of bleeds in.
04:06You know what I'm saying?
04:07It kind of pours in, right?
04:09We talking about whining.
04:10You see how I talk, like it just kind of happens that way.
04:14Right or wrong, my fate was written
04:16way before I started writing.
04:19This ain't a verse.
04:21This an excerpt from a seance.
04:23Ain't really confrontational, but I crave chaos.
04:29Mayday, mayday, melee, melee.
04:33I ain't really confrontational, but I crave chaos.
04:36Mayday, mayday, melee, melee.
04:38That's just chaotic, right?
04:40You know, I'll talk it out at the same time.
04:42I'm with all that.
04:43Way off the chain, like a jeweler's scale.
04:46Fuck all this gold on me.
04:51It ain't hard to tell like Sonic's little homie
04:55that my soul glowing despite the darkness I harness.
04:59You think these silver linings were straps
05:01that keep me from falling.
05:03I am very grateful to still be alive and well
05:08and able to even be able to, you know,
05:11share this story with you at all.
05:13Like that, it could be gone.
05:15So I'm just very grateful to be alive.
05:17I must have some kind of glow around me, man.
05:19That's the only explanation.
05:20Rhyming like I'm flying with angel wings.
05:23I just be crawling.
05:26Jesus Christ.
05:28Am I designed to compete or am I just a pauling?
05:33Peter and Paul, you know, obviously very close to Jesus.
05:38If you're into that story,
05:39very significant players in that testament.
05:43How I manipulated those words.
05:45Am I designed to compete or am I just a pauling?
05:48Am I designed to compete or am I just a pauling?
05:52But still keeping the thread of the duality.
05:55These days I'd rather work out my flaws
05:57than flex on y'all.
06:00A little something's better
06:01than a whole lot of nothing at all.
06:05But all will hope you read between the lines
06:09like when we be spelling wrong.
06:11I thought it was just crazy alone.
06:13Like, you know, like when you spell wrong,
06:14there's a red line under it.
06:16Like when you're typing,
06:17like when you spell it, you have an error.
06:20I saw a great review by this guy.
06:22I think his name is Professor Sky.
06:23And he thought I did this purposely,
06:25but he pointed out I said that grammatically incorrect.
06:28I hope you read between the lines
06:29like when we spell wrong is grammatically correct.
06:33But I said, when we be spelling wrong, which is an error.
06:37Can I keep it going?
06:39Can I talk my shit?
06:40Can I keep it real, real quick?
06:44I am broke.
06:46I am on fucking drugs.
06:47Don't own shit.
06:48I'm paying rent with my baby's moms.
06:51I am broke.
06:52You know, I am on fucking drugs.
06:54These are things that I've expressed.
06:56If you've been listening to me,
06:57if you've been following my journey,
06:59I make a very honest living,
07:00but you know, we chasing generational wealth.
07:03So until then, you know, we hustle like we broke.
07:06I'm broke.
07:16I did have a failed suicide attempt that I survived.
07:20And I truly believe in my heart of hearts
07:25that it's for a reason.
07:28I must have a purpose to serve of some sort.
07:38I'm still standing here screaming, fuck the whole system.
07:41What I took away from my life,
07:42I'm still standing here screaming, fuck the whole system.
07:45What I took away from what Eminem did,
07:48or rabbit, rabbit hip hop.
07:51That was, did y'all ever catch that?
07:52He dissed himself.
07:53Like, what you gonna say about me?
07:55Like that I ain't said, like, I know.
07:57I get another text from my auntie.
08:00She's one of my biggest fans.
08:01Saying that, yo, did you know that your album dropped
08:04on the same day that 8 Mile did?
08:079 Mile.
08:08Couldn't care any less if you judge me, bitch.
08:11You don't know what the fuck I did for this shit.
08:14And I don't know much, but I do know this.
08:19I got the game in a headlock.
08:21I'm like Draymond, you think you fucking
08:24with the squad just a little bit?
08:27Dream on, and then apply for your shit.
08:30I'm like, I don't know what the fuck I did for this shit.
08:33And I don't know much, but I do know this.
08:36Apply for your nimbership, little bitch.
08:40We are the nimbers, man.
08:42We are nim.
08:43We are not them.
08:44Never enough money.
08:45You either nimber or you not, man.
08:47But don't worry about them.
08:48They gonna be, them, them, them, they gonna be cool.
08:51Shit ain't been the same without our mind.
08:53Shit we was on, you'd have thought
08:55that we was out our mind.
08:57Couple of ticking time bombs don't step on our mind.
09:02But he the reason me and Danny spent the block.
09:04We lost Popeye, but Millie with Mommy and Belly with Nas.
09:11So Kha ain't never really left my side.
09:13Now we just a fusion like Trunks and Gohan.
09:20Huey and Riley combined, knowledge and nines.
09:26Bang.
09:27Kha, he never really left my side.
09:29And he really didn't,
09:30cause I have the burger tatted on my side.
09:35Originally though,
09:36we had started working on the TDE compilation
09:38and Top wanted me to do the intro.
09:40Played it for the homies and they was like,
09:43I mean, what this got to do with the squad, dog?
09:46You all right, bro?
09:47You like, are you good?
09:48You good, bro?
09:50Are you straight?
09:51They had to make, you know, I gotta put it all,
09:53I put it all on the table.
09:54That wasn't the best idea
09:56for the whole camp compilation, right?
09:59I immediately had began working on Soul Burger.
10:02When are we getting the TDE compilation?
10:05Get Top on the phone.
10:07You know, he's a perfectionist.
10:08I couldn't even tell you, but it's happening.
