I used to, like, sit inside the crib, and

Play like Call of Duty for like nine hours with some grown ass men who was saying the craziest things in my ears, man

Was a terrible experience, I guarantee

That's some brain damage, that's some trauma

'Cause they don't understand when you all up in the crib

And you got no friends, that you gotta, you gotta turn to the box and just hit a couple sides just to

Just to feel like you have someone, just to feel like you got someone

They telling me I'm yapping

Anybody who say the word "yapping," you gotta be like fourteen years old

With the fucking, shit just get me mad as fuck, 'cause, like, a man can't talk no more without no goddamn '04 hopping under his post, like, "Sir Yap-a-Lot"

Like, bitch, I've been paying bills since you've been born, so why the fuck you on my shit, man?

Man can't talk his talk no more, go do your summer math packet

They prolly gon' post this on Dexerto

On one of them stupid ass Twitter pages, man

They gon' say, "Oh my God, look at him, he's tryna, he's tryna cater to women on the internet because, because he just wants to look like a, like a better man than everybody and be on his moral high ground"

But I don't fuck with Dexerto

Motherfucker be posting too much about women and it kinda makes me uncomfortable

Because, like, it's one of those situations if one of my mans be just harassing women on the internet that are not tryna do nothin'

They just tryna breathe, they just tryna be in the same space as their other, male counterpart, but

It's just lame as, it's lame as hell

I just wanna be a fucking person, make a song for you and do a little fucking dance or something, I don't even

Just wanna be myself, I mean, all my life, I wanna be myself, but the

Everybody wanna talk about a label, but

Everybody draw conclusions, they don't know that I can

To be honest, don't know if I know it, if I can do this

Can't even

I just wanna be happy, man, but it's like

You fuck around and get reanimated on the internet

And now you have, like, two different existences that you have, one real life and one fake, and

You gotta worry about both 'cause if you, if you die in real life, well, you're dead and you don't gotta care about the other one, but

If you die in the other way, no one gon' remember you or care or anything that you ever made

And your art was useless and it was, there was no point

I need to stop caring 'bout Fantano 'cause

Shit, that isn't the point

You know, he's a, he's a grown man with his own opinions and

I'm a grown man, just tryna make these millions, I don't—

If he saw this damn stream, he'd be like, "What the fuck?"

"I fuck with him 'cause he's from Connecticut, but, like, what is he doing?"

And I'm gonna remember them for like the, the rest of my life

But I feel like people have a lot of opinions on the internet, and I would never take it away from the originators or the people who really invented it

I would never do that, a chance that I would ever get in the world

The sounds that you hear, the snares, the synths, the basses

Give them their fucking credit

They're all made by trans women

Or trans individuals, or anyone in the LGBTQ+ community

Shoutout SOPHIE, man, rest in peace

Them snares were so fye

I remember hearing every single song in one, one sitting that one night when I found her

I remember I found Pop 2, and I had to look at every other fucking producer, A.G. Cook made my brain explode

SOPHIE made my brain explode, umru made my brain explode

I just wanted to be real, I wanted to get that off my chest 'cause

I feel like a lot of people feel like we're encroaching an area

That we're not supposed to be and take the credit of other people

And I don't wanna do that at all, I just, I want everybody to be awesome and be friends and make music and shit, you know?

I'm not tryna be a copout at all, or an engagement farm and say something that's gonna get people to like me, I promise

This is just real, it's just raw shit, I just wanna talk, 'cause I can't fucking talk

I end up ghosting every fucking— (You know what, lemme not, lemme not)

Getting too personal so I'ma just vocalize

So I'ma just vocalize

Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh

Oh-oh-oh, oh, wait, I fucked that one up, lemme try it again

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh my God

Motherfuckers so right, shoutout Ice Spice

I feel bad for her, but I, I'm so proud of her, man, it's just

Everybody's so quick to switch and I love it because they realize when someone can get better at doing shit and

I'm not gon' lie, I was hating at first and I'ma keep it a buck

I was hating at first, but now I'm glad that she's up

He tellin' me to hit the damn Quan

Like I'ma emote for him or somethin'

Man, what the fuck? Man what?

There, you happy now? Are you happy now? Yeah

Man, I hope nothin'

I hope none' I said in this fuckin' stream is like a

Thing that people think I'm just sayin' on purpose, I just

I just wanna get shit out my fuckin' head

I just wanna chill with the bros

And I wanna go to Top Golf

And I wanna go on tour with bixby, I love that kid, he's like a nephew to me

That kid could write a fuckin' song, I swear to God I just wanna see him up

I wanna see him do the same shit, wanna, see him buy his—

I wanna see him buy his fuckin' parents cars and buy his sisters everything they ever wanted

Buy 'em everything they ever wanted

'Cause I could buy my sister whatever the fuck she want

Whatever she say, whatever she point at, I pick it up and I—

I put that platinum card down

'Cause they ain't never think that I would get that back in my school, man

Tryna put me in a fuckin reading room and tellin' me

"Eric, you 'boutta be a senior in Algebra II"

I'm like, "You damn right, damn right"

I learned y=mx blee, fuck, blee

Mx b for like, fuckin', like five years, like five years

I even remember what that shit means

I don't even wanna see a slope 'cause that mean we goin' downhill

And I don't wanna go down

I'ma keep it a buck though

Every single person that I, that I, that I met in my life and

Everybody else that has a, has a job or a trade or is

In college and is, fuckin', fifty thousand dollars in debt or, or, or has a fuckin '

Or they're not doing anything and everything seems so fuckin empty and everything doesn't make sense cause

Its just an endless hole in where

Fed this God damn propaganda from everybody around us

And all the old people ruined everything because they're old as fuck and

And not because they're old, but—

Because they didn't know that inflation and the housing market was gonna crash

Then they got selfish with their own money and all the banks are dickheads, man

So now we have to deal with existential, fuckin', weird ass dread

Waking up and my mans who hands me coffee at the goddamn bodega hates his life

'Cause he just wants to do what he wanted to do

He wanted to paint, he wanted to write a book, but

He can't write no fuckin' book because

God damn, go to Brooklyn, go to a brownstone and tell me if you see a Puerto Rican

Or a Dominican in that bitch, man

No, you won't

You'll see a man from Greenwich or some crazy shit like that from fuckin' Iowa

I shouldn't be hearin' Meghan Trainor when I go to Konashi

I should be hearing "tempo" or "tempão"

I don't really know 'cause I'm not Dominican and I really don't speak Spanish Yo me no sabo, but listen to me, man

I should be hearing, goddamn, Bad Bunny blare out of a Honda Civic at 2 PM 'cause fuck yo' job

Mama [?][1:23:11] fuckin' abuelito

I'm ericdoa, soy yo

And I can't even speak Spanish 'cause I grew up in the

I grew up in the 'burbs with my mom and my sister, whitewashed, and

I was out here saying, "Dude" (Haha)

(Alright, I'm fucking buggin')

I'm only gonna do this for like thirty more minutes because I'm like, I'm lowkey getting hysteria

I just wanna say, shoutout Olivia Rodrigo, because, you know, she, she, she went like six-for-six and like seven-for-seven

And I'm just tryna go one-for-one, one-for-one

'Cause I don't do this shit for me, no

I wanna get so successful that I can pay Alexa's tuition and her daughter's tuition and her daughter's daughters and her daughter's daughter's daughter

I pray to God that my nephew always gon' love his father

Fuck that, shoutout Matt Laurence, he told me how to think like a grown man

Because I'm not gon' lie, this is gon' be the cringest thing you ever heard, but

I used to think like a nihilist and think that everything was over

And it got to the point where I had to change the background on my phone to something that said, "It's okay, it's not over"

Every single day was the worst, man, wanna

I wanna grab the fucking shit and just end up pressing a button and

But I can't do that to my mom, I can't do that to my mom

Man, fuck this, man, ah

I'm not gon' lie to y'all, like

I had a conversation with, with Matt a couple, couple months ago and I

I was having, like, a introspective battle thinking that everything I made is not art

But how I'ma go and let somebody with a Carti profile pic tell me what I am?

When I'm a grown man, boy, I'm a grown man

Can y'all tell that I haven't got shoat off my mind in a while?

I just try to eat everything I can 'cause I gotta be a, gotta be a good example for the fans and I have to be a man in my own eyes

I don't wanna cry, I just wanna

I don't wanna cry, I just wanna drain this bottle, this bottle, oh man

The henny won't save me, the D'usse won't save me

Tequila got me moving crazy, I don't wanna

I remember, couple months ago, my best friend almost had a baby

Man, I gotta talk about it 'cause it's another thing on my mind

But Dante Red is, like, so hard for me to make now 'cause I'm not eighteen no more

I got different stresses and different ways of coping and different music that I like

And everybody wants me to try to figure out a, a, a, a way to bring it back

Or a way to try to, try to revive it and I, and I tried, I promise I tried, I promise I tried

But every time I open that project, I end up losing my mind

'Cause I look back and I see a younger me, he was happy and loved music and creating

But now it feels like I've been stationed and

That man woke myself, oh, man woke myself

'Cause, like, that man is me and I'm him too and

I just want something to give you that isn't the shit that you're just hearing on the radio

That same two-step hi-hat and that same 808 that you've been hearing for like, for like five years and everybody (Uh, fuck)

I don't even know what to, if this shit ends tomorrow, then I had a good time and

Had a great time, actually

Man, this shit is awesome, I do it for a living

I would, know a lot of people who would, who would kill for the things that I do, man

And every time I meet somebody like that, I grab their hand and I look at them and I tell them, "Try to do this as hard as you can"

'Cause in my eyes, everybody has a damn turn, it's, we just gotta wait and, you know, time is the best me—, like, medicine and

You know, we all, we'll figure out what we gotta do and

At this point I'm just talking and I'm sorry 'cause I don't wanna make it seem like I'm yapping

But I hate that word 'cause yapping is like, such like a Gen Alpha thing and motherfuckers can't speak they mind no more

Everybody gotta be like, "Yap sesh" in my damn comments

Shut the fuck up

Don't you got a vocab packet to do? To do?

Like, deadass, you tryna, you tryna say something to me boy?

You tryna, you tryna, you tryna join- you tryna say that I'm just talking that I'm just yapping, okay go ahead spell

You can show me how to play Jetpack Joyride, but you can't spell business

You can't spell business, no

You can tell me every single glitch in Sonic 06 but, you can't really spell business, no

You can tell me all these facts, I mean, how to get outta the map but you can't spell business, no

I promised that I would hang out with my manager
