~ Junia-T and Only1KNG on that beat. Ice Tha One on the 2nd verse and half hook. Mixed and mastered by Junia-T~
Wow this song was the last song we layed down for the project. I'm still in shock this album is coming out aaahhh. anyway, glad junez puts the year in the file name lolol. well this was late 2023. I remember it was cold for the spliff outside, and I also remember smokin wit junez and just bitching about my back as I'm stretching. and i said in convo, i've been goin so hard I got back aches, can't take a break tho or I'm considered weak lolol. funny in the moment, kinda sad when you think too much into it, don't, I'm fine lolol. but after that spliff i went into the studio and just started writing, and the first couple lines are literally, "i been going so hard i got back aches, take a rest then i'm soft so i let my back break?" The 2nd half of my verse i absolutely LOVE cuz it actually came from another song but I'm no longer using it so i kinda chopped it up and used it for this song instead! i love it so much cuz its a string of opposites and I dont even know if people really catch it lol. from “emotions run HIGH so i'm LOW, heads HOT i must have a COLD” then the 3rd line in each of the 4 bars is just a normal line, then it goes back into opposite. “can't stitch for tik but i can sow, im so REAL they project and call me FAUX, the circle is SHRINKING i GROW, the WISER you are LESS you know, looked like my life just be wrapped in a bow wanna switch lemme know lemme know take a poll” i finish the 8 bar with a switching metaphor, and you can switch pole for poll too. jumping poles. i dunno, it can mean a lot but i just meant like literally take a poll. cuz poll's aint actually shit, like wanting to switch to the grass that's greener on the other side. ya know? anyway. Ice Tha One is always a force. She came with it. You'll have to pick her brain about her verse. But going back and forth like that in the verse was fkn fun! we were both just sittin on the couch in the studio like, what u got, ok i got this, ok i like what u said, ima come back in with…it was dope. so in the hook we legit just go back and forth and that was us freeflowin on the couch hehe. Ok lemme put the song on and see if i can remember anything else bout this track. Ouuuu I touch on the first time I had people singing my lyrics before the first hook even came. like they knew and loved my music before I even got there! Yellowknife will always have my heart. I also got to sign autographs in my own city for Folk Fest in 2023 and that whole summer was just….i mean BIG. so….it seems right that this song is recorded late 2023 coming off of an amazing run of shows in different provinces…EVERYTHING I DO IS BIG. that's how I was feeling hehe.
Track 2 is It's All Love because I get to touch on the love the community gives me and all I wanna do is do things BIG to make them proud!
