So I still make my ****** that way. Meaning I just have the beat playing. I'm going to make the whole verse instead of stopping while I got eaten. But are you thinking before? -That's what I'm saying, I'm thinking. Oh, so you're thinking for a little bit, and then you go in. for a little bit, and then you go in. the whole verse in my head. And you just from- without writing it down? Just a weird memory? I mean, it's the- it's the truth, so. How long does it take you to write it in your head? ******, man, I done been on take- I done been on songs for years, just because I think a lot. -You still remember? You still remember it years later? The verse? the whole damn song up. -Yeah. I was just saying, I don't just, especially if it's a feature, that's the ones that I have to just- time to keep redoing.
