Just me, you know what I'm saying? Just going, not going a normal route of a hook and a verse. You know what I'm saying? Just let it being the normal, what people think when you think of a me and Wayne track. Kind of just paying homage to the way Wayne like to record and Wayne just say a lot of stuff on the beat and then you usually have to go in there and just make a hook. So that's kind of how I approached the song, you know what I'm saying? It was just beautiful to that way of just seeing us come together, like two different spectrums of music and just putting it together to make a hard ass track.
