I was really down bad for the last month and a half that I was in there … I don’t even remember the day I went in there that’s how messed up I was, Jeremih, via 'Vibe'.

All my organs became inflamed.

My heart started beating irregularly, my kidneys went out, my liver started to go bad, Jeremih, via 'Vibe'.

It’s been one long party, I ain’t gon’ lie to you.

A lot of things now I don’t take for granted.

Sometimes you have to have a setback for the big payback, Jeremih, via 'Vibe'
