00:00 When my fans see me, I want to know that they talking to me, because sometimes I be like,
00:03 "Is y'all talking to me?"
00:04 But now I know they talking to me because I be just somewhere.
00:07 I could be at the doctor and a motherfucker notice me and they be like, "Ski!"
00:10 And then I be like, "Ski!"
00:11 So the inspiration for "Ski," I wanted to do a song where people was hollering at somebody.
00:23 So I'm like, "What we used to say in St. Louis?"
00:25 So I just brought it back, because they don't say it no more, but that's some shit you
00:27 would hear back in the day, so I'm like, "We used to say 'ski,' I'ma just make a song about it."
00:57 I tried to define it to make people understand what I'm really saying.
01:00 If you see a bad bitch walking past and she got a big booty, you gonna be like, "Ski!"
01:04 Because I remember we used to walk past niggas back then, and they be like, "Ski!"
01:07 And we be looking back like, "Who me?"
01:10 So we already know what that mean.
01:11 You looking at our ass, so you think we cute.
01:13 "Slime with your booyah, that's my dirty."
01:22 That mean like, "That's my partner, that's my friend, that's my dirty."
01:25 You go way back type shit.
01:27 I ain't never met Stephen Curry.
01:34 It rhymed with what I was saying.
01:36 They trying to shoot they shot, and then I thought of Stephen Curry.
01:38 When people shoot they shot at me, I don't like it all the time, because I want to be
01:42 the chooser.
01:43 I don't want them choosing on me.
01:44 I respect people that like, "Okay, you think I'm cute, that's nice."
01:47 But I'm not gonna be mean about it, so I just let them down in a nice way.
01:49 "Take a bitch nigga, show no mercy.
01:53 Do the pussy bitch dirty.
01:55 She like sexy, why you hurt me?
01:58 Took him down off the Yerke."
02:00 I don't show no mercy, because these hoes don't deserve no mercy.
02:03 They ain't give me no mercy when they was fucking my nigga behind my back, so I'm not
02:06 showing no mercy.
02:07 "When you get me, put that dick all up my backside."
02:10 My nigga help me write that part, because we be on some freaky shit.
02:13 He know I be on that type of time.
02:14 "I'm a hood bitch sitting courtside.
02:17 I show up pussy out his Mack ride.
02:21 Little bitch I'm from the Northside."
02:23 I ain't never said courtside, but I'm definitely going to a game this year.
02:26 And I said that because you know how when you speak shit into existence, it happens.
02:29 So I just be speaking shit into existence.
02:31 I just always knew I was special.
02:45 I knew I was different.
02:46 I don't care what nobody say.
02:48 I just knew I was different from everybody.
02:50 And I just couldn't wait for everybody to see that they self.
02:53 When I went and taken off, I'm like, "Man, I already know I got the potential, because
02:56 I know I'm dead."
02:57 I'm really the chosen one though, because I got in this shit and took all the way off.
03:01 It's just been all kind of blessings, so I really do feel like the chosen one.
03:05 Because it could have been a lot of people, but it's me.
03:07 "You know I swear that Benz like a NASCAR.
03:09 I like Hellcat, scat off the lot and make the engine fart.
03:12 Don't put y'all trust in me, pussy nigga.
03:14 I'ma break your heart.
03:15 Young turn bitch when I pull up, that's when the party start."
03:18 I said, "I can make the engine fart when I swear the car like a NASCAR."
03:22 Because you know how when you press on the gas and you driving a fast car and it make
03:25 that little fart noise.
03:27 So I'm trying to let them know we in some fast for this motherfucker farting.
03:32 "In a booty club standing on the couch throwing bees.
03:35 Better respect me bitch, my people's in the cut with them things."
03:38 I honestly don't even like going to clubs.
03:40 It's getting played out to me.
03:41 I go to the clubs too much.
03:43 Like I get paid to go, so.
03:45 Say I'm trying to have fun and go out and have fun.
03:47 I don't say, "Let's go to the club."
03:49 Like that's not fun to me.
03:50 But when I do go to the club, I'm definitely standing on somebody's couch throwing up bees.
03:54 Which I...
04:01 I shouted out New York in this record because I was going to New York a lot at that time.
04:06 It was the second city on my list that was like my top listeners.
04:10 So I wanted to shout them out because I fuck with New York.
04:12 I love going down there.
04:13 It meant a lot to see Ski reach the level that it's at now because they was like doubting
04:20 me thinking like, "She ain't gonna come out with another song that people gonna like."
04:24 And then I did.
04:25 I came out with multiple.
04:26 So it shocked everybody because they like, "Oh so she really not just a one hit or a
04:29 two hit one."
04:30 like what I be saying.
