The budgets are runnin’ low, the streets ain’t really got money no more, things are just dryin’ up; I just felt like people needed some motivation, so I took ’em ‘Overtime.’
That Scarface movie is just ruthless! His state of mind was like, “Yo, we’re gonna get it – we’re gonna get this money, we’re gonna get this, get that.”
Through my life, [there have been] a lot of devils and a lot of situations, so I’m just goin’ hard, maintaining, regardless of what people got to say about Ace Hood.
I could go old-school; I listen to a lot of old-school music, like Teddy Pendergrass, the Temptations, people like that. I’m an old-school dude, and I’m vibin’ with stuff like that to clear my mind. I like listening to that old-school music.
I define “grindin'” as just nonstop work! Nonstop work, nonstop progress. Can’t sleep during that grind – I mean, you get a little bit of it, but if you’re progressin’ at every hour, every second, you are grindin’.
I’ve always believed in self, I’ve always believed that as long as I believe, nothing else matters. I just put that type of motivation and that type of energy into my music, and I’ve always had confidence in my music as well.
I just wanted to let people know that, in any aspect in which you’re getting’ money, you’ve gotta go overtime in order to provide for your loved ones or those who are around you. So that was my state of mind.
We’re gonna keep on doin’ what we’re doin’, and we’re gonna get it by all means. That’s just what “ruthless” means to me. Everybody’s got their own definition, but I’m ruthless with this music.
