{Talking}

Pastor Troy:
The last chance I got to make shit hot around here. Hello. If I don't go platinum I'm lettin go you can't feel me you just a muthafuckin hoe so now you notice I done got this crunk but who get crunker than the cranker smoke me a half a dro and turn the drank up




Overall Meaning

The opening lines to Amp Fiddler's song Intro serve as an illustrative contrast between the perspectives of two different artists. The dialogue of the song's intro portrays a telephone conversation between Pastor Troy and another person. Pastor Troy's tone in the conversation is clear, determined and straightforward. He seems to be calling his last chance to make a dent building a successful career in the music industry, as he is talking about going platinum on this track. He is also taunting his critics who do not value his work and belittling them as "muthafuckin' hoes". He believes he has created an undisputable sound that is "crunker than the cranker". Pastor Troy takes a break halfway in the conversation to "smoke me a half a dro" and by returning into the conversation, he announces he is gearing up for a celebration "and turn the drank up".


The dialogue in this song highlights the importance of self-confidence and the struggle that artists face. Many artists feel they only get one shot at building a successful career and might feel incredibly pressured to deliver good work. This perspective contrasts starkly with that of critics and audience members who may not see these same artists' work as being intrinsically valuable. Even though it is not Pastor Troy but a persona and not about the artist Amp Fiddler, this Intro can still function as an anthem for all the artists whose work remains underappreciated.
