"I was going over how I was feeling," Fetty Wap says of his melodic trap track, at No. 35 on the Hot 100 this week. "Me and my lady were discussing things. We wanted to get matching foreign cars and a big house. It was basically like a dream. But I just put the dream into words, into a melody and everybody loved it. And now the dream's becoming a reality."
