Here he tells his story of playing college football until he got kicked out of college. He also reflects on his past decisions during this incident and how they affected his future.
Lyrics like:
”Glad we did that, now I’m flying to Los Angeles with a 8th in my pre-rolls” express his newfound gratitude for getting kicked out as if he hadn’t been, he wouldn’t have turned to rap.
This song serves as J.I.D.’s opportunity to push his talent forward to the public by sharing his story, and how he can compete with other rappers by utilizing his impressive flows and clever rhyme schemes.
He also states his opinion on trap rappers, as Atlanta is known for artists such as Gucci Mane and Future.
From J.I.D’s interview with Rolling Stone:
Rolling Stone: In “General” you rap, “I don’t fuck with happy trappers.” How did you get to that point?
”I don’t even know what made me think of that in particular. But the statement is definitely true. When I grew up, drug dealers and people who was doing illegal stuff to get money, I never saw it as like a glorified thing. I didn’t see it like you sit and be stagnant – be happy with where you at in life. It was always means to a better way, to feed your family. I just never fucked with the over-glorification, but with more of the struggle. I feel our generation, we’re cool with the fiends or whatever. I’m getting too deep. There’s shit I hate. But at the same time, I’m trying to understand. Like, “Damn, why do people like it? Why are they attracted to this?” I do my research, get information on why something works, as opposed to just saying, “I hate this shit. I’ll never listen to it.””

Jid Lyrics
Check, anybody can see the kid got it
I see niggas ignore it so I feel a way about it
From rapping in that truck with bolts on and rolling blunts
Bagging a couple bitches and fucking them all at once
Friday night lights, I was catching and dropping punts
Thinking about rapping, I could be J.I.D or like Chris Johnson
My thumbs keep strumming kinda like the Mumford & Sons
Mommy went dumb when she got that call I had got caught
Kicked out of college for tongues, niggas be talking
I wasn't even on camera, just hit the lick with some amateurs
Glad we did that, now I'm flying to Los Angeles with a 8th in my pre-rolls
Call that shit a tarantula
Tarantino on your big screen ho
Slave man, South East Coast, J.I.D or DiCap Leo
Set it off, my big sis reminded me of Cleo
And my brothers is killers you might see on Nat Geo'
You gotta chill 'cause niggas can get they cap peeled
I keep that 40 like I'm Pat Tillman
They sent my nigga up the hill, yea they jack jill'd 'em
And a million other black children
Let's crack the seal, I'm spillin'
I feel amazing, I can feel the haters, do something
I ain't finna fade ya, I ain't got a taser, shoot something
Niggas talking crazy, wipe the little baby, too funny
Pull up on ya, had the crew coming, take a deuce on ya, hold up
Looking for it in the night time
I been looking for it all day
I'mma get it at the right time
Watch 'em fuck with me the long way
Watch a nigga at the bike whip
Hit the buyer with the stone face
Greenbriar with the whole case
Bust it down and flood the whole state
Bitches know when that work good
Anna Mae eat the whole cake
We ain't even gotta role play
Had to get it out the bowl way
Kill shit, OJ, No way Jose, Slo-Mo, OK
I don't do this shit at your pace
I ain't here to do it your way
And I'm coming thru the ceiling, thru the floor, back and front door way
You do not want war, I swear, I swore on your grave
I been on my shit since like 6th, 5th, and 4th grade, wait
Even before grades, going to my brother court dates
And I asked my momma bout what he did but they'd never tell me
Then I figured he killed a nigga or got caught for some dope he selling
Kinda close but no cigarillo, he was armored up, that's a armadillo
My pops did time in the military and he taught us how to disarm a nigga
See the boys, you better warn a nigga but J.I.D prolly got warrants, nigga
Like North Carolina or South Carolina, got the hideout in like Florence nigga
Swear your raps so boring, nigga
Then you say you trap, you be lying nigga
I don't fuck with none of y'all happy trappers
Better go out and strap, people dying nigga, Lord
Sorry we making all the noise
But you ain't have to call the boys
Some shit you just can't avoid
Dumb shit, coolin' with the squad
I see niggas ignore it so I feel a way about it
From rapping in that truck with bolts on and rolling blunts
Bagging a couple bitches and fucking them all at once
Friday night lights, I was catching and dropping punts
Thinking about rapping, I could be J.I.D or like Chris Johnson
My thumbs keep strumming kinda like the Mumford & Sons
