William Singe, aged 20, is from Forestville, New South Wales and is the rapper of The Collective. He previously auditioned for The X Factor in season three but only made it to the end of the bootcamp stage when Guy Sebastian sent him home. Singe auditioned for the fourth season singing Justin Bieber's "One Less Lonely Girl" and received positive comments from the judges. Melanie Brown felt that Singe was singing the song just to her, Guy Sebastian called his added rap in the song "crazy", and Ronan Keating said it was a great audition song. Prior to entering The X Factor, Singe worked as a bank teller at the Commonwealth Bank in Dee Why, New South Wales. He was a student at St Augustine's College in Brookvale, New South Wales. Singe cites his father, a singer-songwriter from New Zealand who plays guitar and bass, for his musical beginnings. He began recording music with his father as a child and previously held gigs with him at In Situ, a restaurant and bar in Manly, New South Wales.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Had them boys just like "ooh, ooh, ooh!"
50 thousand dollars on ya chick wanna do it
Got her screamin' like "ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh"
Cause I got a check, brother wanna flex
I ain't gotta flex, boy I got it, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Give that girl some x, she gon wanna get every brother in the set
Got her screaming like ooh, ooh, ooh
Made 2 million dollars off a mixtape
Had them folks like ooh, ooh, ooh (Hey! Hey!)
They tried to drop me with a case but you know but I had done skated
I was singing like ooh, ooh, ooh
Boy I know my role and I play it (Yes I do!)
If you heard that I'm talkin' then I said it
Will where you at?
At the top of the loft these where I stay
I'm a bad boy but I don't wear big clothes like Ma$e
In the club I get it boppin'
And that girl, she want a free drink, tell that chick to get up off me
I'm the dude to get it poppin', her hair short like Dennis Rodman
At the Clearport boy, we flying, when I landed boy I...
30, 000 in my pocket
Had them boys just like "ooh, ooh, ooh!"
50 thousand dollars on ya chick wanna do it
Got her screamin' like "ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh"
Cause I got a check, brother wanna flex
I ain't gotta flex, boy I got it, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Give that girl some x, she gon wanna get every brother in the set
And now she screamin' like ooh, ooh, ooh!

Hey, get at me
The lyrics to William Singe's song "Flex" talk about his wealth and success. In the opening lines, he describes how he walked into a place with $30,000 in his pocket, and everyone was impressed by it. He also mentions having $50,000 dollars to spend on a woman, and she's so impressed by the gesture that she's "screaming like ooh, ooh, ooh." Singe then talks about how he doesn't have to show off his wealth because he already has it. He says the power of his money is so strong that if he were to give a girl some "x" drug, she would want every man in the room.
Singe then talks about his success as a musician. He says he made two million dollars off a mixtape, and when people heard about it, they were impressed. He also mentions that he had a case dropped against him, but he had already skated away from it. He knows his role in the industry and is confident in the things he says about himself. He talks about being a "bad boy" but not wearing flashy clothes like Ma$e, a popular rapper of the late 90s.
In the chorus, Singe repeats that he has $30,000 in his pocket and $50,000 to spend on a woman. He doesn't need to show off his wealth because he already has it, and he has so much power that a girl would do anything for him if he gave her drugs.

Danielle Sims
I'm quite fond of all your covers, if only they'd be longer. I can hardly resist getting up and dancing. Love how you incorporate the bass and snare. I recommend Pompeii by Bastille and I Lived by One Republic.
