00:00If you're a baddie watching Genius, this is for you.
00:09What inspired me in my life to write Fall On is I was at the rock bottom of my life.
00:14Found out some things about a cousin of mine that I don't speak of, like Voldemort.
00:19I just don't like him.
00:20He's just not a good person.
00:22He's actually a terrible person.
00:24That's the only person I'll say bad shit about.
00:26Other people I get over stuff, but him I just don't like him.
00:29I wish nothing good for him.
00:31But everybody else, I wish everything good for them.
00:33I was very upset and I just sat by my bed and I was like, I'm going to just record.
00:39Because normally I make my best music when I'm upset or something's going on in my life.
00:51I feel like at some point I probably was afraid of the grind because I stopped making music
00:55for a year.
00:56That was kind of me speaking to myself.
00:58You got to put the work in.
00:59Even though I've been putting in work, I felt like I could do more.
01:02I felt like I was at the bottom of my life.
01:05I was like, I can't get lower than this, so I might as well just do whatever.
01:08And then I started posting like 20 times a day, started making a lot of music, putting
01:13out music.
01:14If you're afraid of the grind, just putting the work.
01:15Energy you put into it will come back.
01:17I'm going to be there and tell my shit just like I'm going to fly.
01:20I'm going to cry.
01:21I'm going to cry.
01:22I'm going to cry.
01:23I'm going to cry.
01:2425 minutes before I slide, I put my head down, she takes things just like some key lime pie.
01:29So the trend I started was this dance I started doing, and I was just trying to think of something
01:35to dance and promote the song.
01:37Because I had another one when I was on all fours, shaking my head, and that started hurting
01:41my neck.
01:42I was like, I need to do something that doesn't hurt.
01:45So I started doing this.
01:46And don't forget the eye contact.
01:54In those lyrics where I said ball hog, I was kind of talking to myself about, I'm going
02:07to focus on myself.
02:08Because I feel like a lot of my career was focused on trying to help other people sometimes.
02:13This year I'm going to try to focus more on myself and not try to tell other people what
02:17they should be doing.
02:18Just tell myself what I should be doing.
02:23I actually lied.
02:24But I actually didn't make that much money.
02:25They were completely right.
02:27I was sleeping in my car.
02:28I didn't make any money.
02:29I hopped back into music, and now we're here.
02:43I'll go to a crib, they live in the wall.
02:44It was like people that were more famous, but they weren't living as good.
02:49They're not as hot as I thought.
02:50It was kind of mean.
02:51I don't think that same way now, but I was mad at a few people.
02:53It wasn't directed at everybody.
02:55She said, on two fly, let's go to Dubai.
02:57I'm a brand new guy, put in and said, oh my.
03:01They counted me out.
03:02I get them amounts.
03:04I slept on the couch.
03:05Did y'all buy a house?
03:07I bought me some land.
03:08I did buy land, actually.
03:09I bought land in California, but that was a while ago.
03:12I bought that when people said I fell off.
03:14The land was cheap, though.
03:15It was very cheap.
03:16I got it in a foreclosure sale.
03:18I bought it for like a dollar.
03:20I bought me some friends.
03:21I gave me some bands.
03:22I'm going to buy me a limb.
03:24I feel like my lyrics are like manifestations.
03:26A lot of stuff I say in lyrics become true, so that's why I never really say negative stuff.
03:31Because one time, I was like, if I get arrested, I could bond right out, and then I got arrested
03:35and had to bond out.
03:37And it was right after I made that song.
03:38And I was like, I'm never doing that ever again.
03:40So I only say positive shit in my songs.
03:43Positive towards me, at least.
03:57So my ad-lib, funny story, I started saying that ad-lib with that cousin, because I used
04:01to record with him at first, and I was like, and then I started saying, because somebody
04:06was calling me, and I was like, what do they want, while I was recording?
04:10And then it just evolved to that.
04:12I really don't like him.
04:15Let's talk about the cover art of Fallen.
04:17So it was these two fans.
04:19They saw me eating sardines.
04:20It was in my era where I was like, okay, I'm not going to spend all my money anymore.
04:24I'm going to eat sardines so I don't fall off again.
04:26And they were like, let us pull up and buy you some food.
04:29So we went into Giordano's and got pizza.
04:31And I took a picture with them, and I made it that cover art.
04:34I don't want to look at another can of sardines, so please stream my music.
