The story behind this is two fold. The inspiration behind it came from a conversation I had with a great young lady on Saturday. Conversation led to me realizing that sometimes the right people intersect at the wrong time. This person wants this, that person wants that, and a disconnect is inevitable. You gotta be mature enough to know that you’ve played your best game and the win just won’t come. Not because of a lack of effort but because you were playing the wrong game.
From a technical standpoint, Kanye West beats always pull words out of me. Even when I’m not in my “music zone”, I hear a Ye beat and immediately the words pop up in my head. So the day after my conversation I called up my engineer and went in and just said what was on my mind, hoping someone somewhere can relate. Drake absolutely did a great job on this and I just tried to take it back to the days of remixes when you would put a completely different hook and everything.
The visual is just extra.
Enjoy.
