People were like, why would you like a song that has homophobic slurs in it?

And I'm like, y'all are missing the point of the verse.

He's flashing back in time, and he's being self-critical.

And by the end of the verse, when he's about to drop the F word and stops himself and says, we don't do that no more,

To me, that was the mark of growth.

Yeah, to me, that was the beautiful part from talking about dicking the booty ass niggas at the beginning to saying, no, we don't say that.

And going past we don't say that to, yo, we was bugging back then.

Yes.

Yes.

And we was bugging back then.

Yeah.

Ignorant.

It was ignorant.

We didn't know that.

Exactly.

And that's the thing.

I think that a lot of times I dropped.

the F word early on in my career but I talked to a fan and he was like 20 and he was from down south and he told me that when he hears the F word it's the same thing as when he hears the N word he was a mixed kid white and black down south and he was gay he used to get chased home on the bus for being black and get chased home on the bus for being gay so he's you know for him it hurts the same right I feel like the same way you know you can say that is like if it was some country singer and he's singing a song about how he used to be racist and the hook is like back then we called them niggas but now we call them friends we gonna be mad

Well, if you make that your hook, then yeah, we will be mad.

But if it's in your third verse and you're like, I used to call them niggas, but boy, was I wrong.
