Chris Brown just came out of nowhere and dropped a new-ish song on his Soundcloud with zero fanfare or promotion. New-ish because, although it's new for Chris Brown, the original version is sung by Ty Dolla $ign on his album Beach House 3. The instrumental and lyrics of each track is identical, all that differs is the person singing. This difference turns out to be a big one, with Chris Brown's harmonies and vocal flexing giving the song a distinctly different feel than Ty Dolla $ign's rough autotune.
The song comes in the midst of a child support scandal for Breezy, who is said to be living in a mansion while relegating his baby-mama and daughter, Royalty, to a less-than-royal two bedroom apartment. Royalty's mother is asking for Brown to raise child support payments, but he refuses. Considering the lyrics below, maybe the song and the current drama are related.
Quotable Lyrics
She run up a cheque
Fuck a Patek
I run up the digits
I fucked up the bed
Left it a mess
Do you remember?
You know, you was the best
You was the best
And a pretender
