When I was writing the song “Life,” I made this shit in my bedroom. I had a studio in my bedroom, and I just started a beat. I did the drums and the bass. I was doing it, fucking around, and I guess the light bulb moment was, “This is kind of tight.” It was kind of weird ‘cause it was like a upright bass over some more trap drums. It’s like two extremes. And Daoud, who’s one of the producers that worked on that album with me, came into the room and he threw some chords over it. And I’m like, “Damn, this is like a real song now.” The first part that I wrote of it was the, “That’s life. Mama mixed the vodka with Sprite. Killed my cousin with a pocket knife.” And when I originally recorded it, it was just that and it was less hard. It was less hard. It was more melodic. A lot of times, I don’t know why I’m writing something. I don’t think sometimes, like, “This is the concept for this song.” Sometimes I just go and write, and those were the words that I had wrote. So I had to write a verse around that, but not really understanding what exactly I was even talking about or why I chose those words. So the next day, I just redid the whole structuring of it and I did the verse. And the first verse just came out good, to the point where it’s like, “Okay, you have to turn this into a full thing.”
