g-natural gwns explanation (interlude) şarkı sözleri
You know, as I've gotten older I've had various moments of tentative indecision
Around, like, how long can I do this hip-hop thing?
How long should I do it?
Like, I don't wanna be the old dude that's just holding onto the past.
And I don't talk about it a lot but I had a major health scare during the pandemic
My wife and I both went into the hospital with COVID and I was there for a week
And midway through my second day there, the doctors told me
That I might have to go on a ventilator, and I knew enough to know
That if it got that bad, I might not come back from it
And I remember praying to God, and saying, Lord I trust you
And if this is the last room I ever see on this earth then that's OK
But if not, I'll keep trusting you, keep doing what I feel like I'm called to do
And stop caring as much what other people think about it
So in 2021, I started dressing a little more colorfully
I started speaking with a new level of freedom and clarity
And I felt like, nah, hip-hop is something I love
Something God has gifted me to do
And I finally have a few more resources to make it sound like I want it to sound
Which was not the case in my younger years as much
So I wrote this joint, Guess What No Sir
As a way of reminding myself not to quit this thing
Until God calls me home or tells me otherwise
I put it out in 2022 with After Sunset, Vol. 1
And then I remixed it with Volume 2 in 2023
But this song has become something of a rallying cry for me
So I was like, why not? Let's do it again
But let's change up the beat and the flow and see if it still works
So you can be the judge, but I think it's dope
Am I gon' quit? Guess what, no sir
