Starts swirling. I'm like, oh, man. Yes. All of his thoughts in that glass. Drink your thoughts. Swirling the emotions around. Get the button up on.
All the way to the top. Yeah.
Writing a song in slacks is hilarious. Suit on.

And you're like, wait, where did that come from? What is he writing? And then you're like, all right, cool. Then now he's going to do another take. And he's doing something that seems like one half of the chorus.
But the first thing that he recorded was the answer to the chorus. Ah, okay. No, it's crazy.
Like, he writes in, like, it's wild, bro.
I ain't never seen it.
It makes sense in his head, and then at the end, it all makes sense to all of us. It's like, yo, this man is crazy. And he quick. Showing up to write in a suit is like... No, that's his flow.
Yeah. I mean, Johnson's a gentleman. Even if he's, like, dressed down, he's got the button-up jeans, hard bottom.
