00:00I always picture it as this girl, Chelsea, this girl that I dated.
00:03So it's like a letter to her, kind of, but it's weird and distorted because it's like
00:07I'm talking to her as if she's getting famous and that didn't happen.
00:11It's kind of made up.
00:18It was me, John Cunningham.
00:20I want to say it was like late at night.
00:23That was one of the ones that, one of the last ones we made.
00:25We made a bunch of them and I think we liked the other ones and White Keys seemed like
00:28I was really rowdy at the time of making it.
00:30So it just seemed like we weren't going to put it out.
00:34I just wasn't super in my right mind, which I think was the best part about it.
00:37You can kind of hear it with the screaming, you know, it's like passionate.
00:42All right, pitch black Chevy antique, I was 17.
00:46I ain't have nothing but some T's in a pair of jeans, pine trees, but it smell like weed
00:50in the front seat.
00:52You was on route to being famous and everything.
00:55My older brother had a baby blue Monte Carlo named Swank and he got it from some old lady
01:04who had like redone all the interior and it said Swank on it.
01:07I was picturing Swank, the car, when I was riding about the Chevy.
01:11Bright blue didn't sound as cool.
01:13All right, bright blue, maybe it does.
01:15Maybe we change it.
01:27When people start to try to reach for fame, like everyone wants to be famous now, like
01:32really people just want to be seen and talked to and heard and it feels like the only way
01:36you're doing that now is if you have like a mass following.
01:38But there's that stigma that comes with it.
01:40Like when you get that and you get this on your big world and you get to lean into like
01:45being sad or being like, like you get to throw like pity party for yourself, you know, because
01:49you're like experiencing all these things really fast and you feel like people are taking from
01:53you and like, but it's whack.
01:55And I guess I'm like wishing somebody would have said this to me.
01:58Maybe.
01:59That's why I was writing it.
02:00If I'm a therapist talking to myself in 2020.
02:031995 teens in the Florida breeze, ice cream, she was so sweet before everything.
02:08Tight squeeze trying to fit me in your every day, but you never came.
02:14So I'm, I'm strictly referring to schedules.
02:16I don't write things like that.
02:18There's no, there is no, uh, tongue in cheek between coming and the tight squeeze.
02:25That's not what I do.
02:26That's not what I do.
02:27I really did actually have a problem with this.
02:29Like this girl, uh, worked so much.
02:32The reason we broke up was like, cause we weren't spending enough time together.
02:35And I was like, cause you're always working, which is so funny.
02:39Now that I think about it, like what a bum.
02:41The world is moving.
02:43We were never meant to stay, but I was working on the world.
02:47I guess I thought that if I gave you what I had, I guess I thought that it would work.
02:51Pretentious.
02:52What a crazy thing to say, to be like, I'm molding the world with my perspective.
02:56I don't know what people think it actually means, but I think at the time I meant like,
03:00I'm just so righteous that what I'm doing is must be having some effect on the world.
03:05I don't know.
03:06Crazy.
03:07Drunk Dom is a crazy guy.
03:17I don't know.
03:17See, this is where the song is kind of like, man, I was really songwriting up in there.
03:21It depends.
03:22I don't know.
03:23That probably just means a different shit to different people if you hear it at a different
03:26time.
03:27To be real.
03:28It's one of those things.
03:28Sometimes I'm just writing shit and I know it doesn't make sense.
03:31And I'm like, well, somebody is going to hear it and they're going to make something
03:45out of it.
03:50I feel like I really never get to talk about money the way I want to in rap music.
03:55Drake gets to do it.
03:56Kendrick gets to do it.
03:57Everybody gets to do it but me, it seems like.
03:59I feel like it's a rite of passage.
04:00When you start rapping and you're coming up, that's what you're rapping for.
04:04So you could be like, I got this stuff now.
04:07And I didn't really get to do that until now.
04:10White keys because she's way too major for everything.
04:13Good line because the white keys on a piano are major keys.
04:18I was at a coffee shop and some girl was like, you helped me to learn about music theory with
04:24white keys.
04:25I was like, stop it.
04:27That's not learning about music theory, but thank you.
04:30The kids want this.
04:30This whole want that.
04:31I feel my heart inside my back.
04:33I made a point to be intact, but you don't even keep it wholesome with me.
04:37And you were singing old songs with me.
04:39People always mess that up, which I don't mind.
04:41They say something else about this line.
04:43And I see a bunch of kids really singing the fuck out of it, really singing it.
04:47And it's wrong.
04:48It's kind of cool and endearing.
04:50And I'm like, okay, that's what it is now.
04:52It says something on Genius.
04:55It's different.
04:56Oh my God, we're on Genius.
04:57So cool.
04:58Ben loved this shit, by the way.
05:00I always wanted to be on here.
05:03You were singing old songs with me.
05:05That's crazy.
05:05You know that song by Joe?
05:07I want to know.
05:08Come on now.
05:10Yeah.
05:11I want to know.
05:12That's so good.
05:12That one.
05:13That's all I need.
05:14What do you mean?
05:15That's the best pull I could have had.
05:16That's crazy.
05:17That's such a good pull.
05:18That's such a good pull.
05:19That's crazy.
