She's really a woman who knows what she wants. I found that to be really shocking. Before I had worked with her I thought there were a lot of people that did things for her, as far as writing, vocal production and all the things she does in her musical career. When we were in the studio, where she basically just sat down and she told me what type of direction she wanted to go, and once I made the music, she was like okay. That's it, let me do my thing. I was waiting for the other people to come in, like her "team". A lot of times, artists they don't really write the music. They have writers that work with them and write the songs for them. She came in and knocked it right out.
Q : what give you a inspiration for I'm a survivor? How did you came up with that "I'm a survivor"
A: it was aggresive track. the music part of it was before the lyrics, so I didn't know the survivor.
I kinda did music as I want it. actually I want lil kim on it as aggresive rap song.
and I can't say exactly what was going in. I knew in my mind after the lyrics got to, but making music I want it to be aggresive track, as far as what I can say was going through my mind.
when she put the lyrics to it. it just inspires me more,
