The Making of M.T.V.
Some collaborations don’t need to be explained — they just make sense.
The moment Nitty & August heard the beat, they already knew who belonged on it.
DerDer Laflare.
August and Der go back to high school. This wasn’t just music — it was history. At the time, they were also working on a separate EP together called Everything in My Favor during the original Project Nostalgia sessions.
This wasn’t forced. It was natural.
August talks about being comfortable in his own lane and not needing anyone else to validate what he’s doing.
Nitty talks about staying real and unapologetic, regardless of how people perceive him.
DerDer talks about confidence and control — moving how he wants, when he wants, without explanation.
LYRICS
[Verse – DerDer Laflare]
im the creme of the crop
in my own league, everytime that i drop
im really what she need
it aint ever been a thought
she cant stop smilin
it look weird when she talk
she always miss a beat
now its off
im findin all the holes
like its golf
baby cant control what i thought
stackin all the cash so tall
she gotta fly a drone, if she wanna see it all
baby you know I like to ball
and ima get the win by all cost
hit the spin stepback fade
shake her off
ion know why you mad lil baby it aint my fault
im really just glad
to cut her off
got me in the cage facin rage from the dogs
open up the gate let me out
before I brawl
bouta be in my 3rd season
spring summer fall
she aint wanna call me daddy
i let maury make the call
[Hook – DerDer Laflare]
baby play some shit that i kinda like
epsom salt bath this my typa night
this my kind of vibe, under the candlelight
got my timin right, like i kinda like
this typa vibe, now you all mine
its been a long time
but i always hit you up
at the wrong time
she got me waitin just to see her
this a long line
waste of time
[Verse – NittyGritty]
Poppin my collar on a bitch
Baby I’m the 1 cause you know I ain’t shit
Crazy in the head so I give her this
Money evil and it makin me dizzy how much I spend
24s on the whip with no tint
Haters see me and they trippin how I get em so pissed?
How these suckas say they ballin they can’t even pay the rent
We ain’t close, call me Nitty, why you trynna call me kin?
I won’t ever fold or crease but might bend
Smoke tough drink heavy but skinny ain’t quite slim
I keep a stack in my pocket it won’t bend
From the 9 but I keep a bitch with me that’s a 10
Don’t pretend I ain’t real ain’t never been counterfeit
Not 50 but many men wish death on my skeleton
They rockin the Jesus piece but makin comparisons
Can’t fondle or fittle with these suckas is feminine
[Verse – August Wild]
Man fuck it I’m going in
You know I gotta begin
But the funny thing about it I put the shit to an end
This should prolly be the time I talk about fake friends
But I’m nothing like yall I want everyone to win
Got these muthafuckas talking like here we again
But DerDer & Nitty just put the battery in
My back
Back to when there was nothing you can say to em
I’m really one of one so nobody can relate to me
I’ll fuck around and get rich off my blood sweat and tears
Homie we ain’t livin off our daddy money over here
And it’s prolly why my circle lookin more like a dot
Yall jealous lil boys ain’t cut from the same cloth
From the clothes to the way that I talk
Yall hate that I get love doin what I want
I wanna be on a beach with my wife getting tanner
I been getting all this love so the hate don’t even matter
[Hook – DerDer Laflare]
baby play some shit that i kinda like
