Fly (Remix)
When I wrote Fly, I initially had the featured artist on this remix in mind for the second verse. We reached out to him, but his rate was just out of my budget at the time.
I was surprised by how well the song did. It did not get a ton of views or streams right away, but the clips from the video were definitely above average in views and likes on TikTok and qualitatively, I felt like a couple members of my audience went above and beyond sharing the song and in their messages to me about it.
After the song dropped, he had a deal around the end of the year for a verse, and I reached out to him immediately. He turned around his verse the same day, and it was more like a hook + verse!
We liked it so much, me and Chico ended up on the phone for over an hour one night discussing how to rearrange the song around this new hook-ish section.
He probably tried like 6 different structures before we dropped my hook, kept my pre-chorus and used his intro to his verse as a hook of sorts.
I later went by Chico's studio where he recommended I change one of the lines in my original pre-chorus to reinforce the car theme, which is how “… got the John Cena tint, so you can't see me.” got added in.
I wrote like 4 alternatives for him on the spot at the studio for that one line!
He also had me duet the last hook. I think it sounded fire that way ! With my vocal mixed a little lower to let the feature lead the hook.
The beat for this song is by Gettcy
I went out to Music in Focus studio to have it recorded, mixed and mastered.
Dennis shot the video.
The featured car is Pete's 1976 Chevy Caprice

Hope you enjoy the track!
Talk soon,
Lyrics
Verse 1 (Sin)
Slip through the gears
like a slip and slide
So damn smooth
you’d think this bitch could fly
Weavin’ through traffic
like we intertwined
Finest thing breathin’
sittin’ by my side
I like em’ thick, pretty
sweet, with a mouthpiece
A little book smart
a little rowdy
Bass bumpin’
shakin’ all around me
You knew I was a dog
so don’t hound me
They see me on the stage
have a crush
See me in their face
catch a rush
Scream my rapper name
harmonizin’ when they cum
Call their girlfriends up
guess who I just fucked?
Pre-Chorus (Sin)
In the 8-1-G
bump my screw CD
Got the John Cena tint
So you can’t see me
Can’t stop bein’ petty
I ain’t out of spite
Up and down 35
like a cattle drive
Hook (Renizance)
Shit I’m so paid
Ain’t no pain no stressin’
I work too much
and never learn my lesson
Born this way
I’m just a playa made Mexican
That Glock off safety
if a hater come testin’
So if you see me shinin’
When I’m rollin’ through the hood
Act like you got some sense
and greet me like it’s all good
Cause if you move wrong
and I feel a little threatened
I might pull that thang out
Better watch how you steppin’
Verse 2 (Renizance)
Yeah bitch I’m a hustler
wood grain gripper
Bitch I ball hard
like I play for the clippers
You can tell I’m a playa
soon as hoes get a whiff of
My aroma
Good green
and some top shelf liquor
Solo-Baric 15s
got the whole block shakin’
California Kush
got me lookin’ like I’m Asian
Haters probably faint
if they see my bank statement
The sixes on the ‘burban
sittin’ taller than the Laker
Yeah
In the 8-1-G
bump my screw CD
Got the John Cena tint
So you can’t see me
Can’t stop bein’ petty
I ain’t out of spite
Up and down 35
like a cattle drive
Hook (Renizance & Sin)
Shit I’m so paid
Ain’t no pain no stressin’
I work too much
and never learn my lesson
Born this way
I’m just a playa made Mexican
That Glock off safety
if a hater come testin’
