Story Behind The Song
2ND SONG I'VE EVER WROTE ACTUALLY. I WAS VERY SURPRISED HOW GOOD IT CAME OUT TO BE. THE ORIGINAL BEAT WAS CHANGED TO THIS ONE, WHICH IS MORE FITTING FOR UPTEMPO/HARLEM SHAKING CLUB TYPE OF DANCING FEEL. THE SONG IS FOR THE STREETZ BUT HAS A COMMERCIAL TWIST TO IT. DEFINITELY A HIT.
Song Description
CURRENTLY MY LEAD SINGLE. SONG IS ABOUT PEOPLE NOT BEING ABLE DO WHAT YOU DO, SO THEY HATE. BASICALLY YOU'RE RUBBING IT IN THEIR FACE, THAT YOU'VE MADE IT, AND BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE "WHAT IT TAKES" TO DO THE SAME, THEY SHOULDN'T HATE ON YOU, SHAKE THEM HATAZ OFF!!! lol
