I’m like [looks around].””Yeah, they let me know, man. Then, I was like, man, I would show to my brothers, ‘Hey.’ They told them what it was, and I knew I liked it because I knew not one person in that arena [would] think it’s gonna be me.”

So that’s the emotion that I like to pump to the fans, man.””We gotta swerve because everyone’s smart today. Everyone thinks they know. Y’all ain’t got no damn clue, man.

I love this.
