“I ain’t never seen myself going this far in life, I always wanted to be somebody since I was a kid,” G Herbo coldly admits upon the video’s opening. “I’ve seen death way too many times. I’ve been shot, been to jail, I done been broke and I took everything that came with this street shit … all the killing, fear … overcoming that fear.
“Now that I’m ’25,’ I feel like I’m at the top of my game,” he continued in between splices of Lamborghini street racing and tour footage. “All the bad shit I’ve been through, that’s why I am the way I am I always just kept my head high, staying 10 toes down … I know it’s light at the end of the tunnel.”
Hopefully, that tunnel leads to definitive freedom. In May, G Herbo entered a not-guilty plea after being accused of being involved in a $1.5 million fraud scam. He’ll have plenty of time to promote the album before his next court date in August.
