Like, I don't want to see nothing dramatic.
I don't watch the color purple for fun.
Like, if I need to cry, I'll be watching the color purple.
But like, I'm getting that.
I'm learning all this recent history about the dude that made Ghana free.
So Ghana's the first country in Africa to not have colonialism, to kick the British out.
And they did it with this dude, Kwame Nkrumah, who became their first president.
And he was on some Garveyism shit.
So that's why they got the black star on their flag.
And so I'm looking at all these connections.
I'm like, damn, this is a lot of stuff speaking to me.
And I got to figure out a way to like,
to tell the story, to platform what I'm learning.
And then I'm like, I'm dumb as hell.
Let me grow in this time and continue to produce work.
So the whole time I'm doing that, I'm dropping some of my greatest music.
I think the highs and the lows is one of my greatest songs I ever made.
