Still haven’t checked out CyHi Da Prynce’s Royal Flush? Shame on you. Well fear not, Da Prynce gives MTV a breakdown of some of his favorite tracks.

“Sideways.” “When I was making this song, I was just thinking, ‘OK, with me being signed, some people look at me crazy, like they wish they were in [my] position,’ ” Cy explained. ” ‘Cause I didn’t do it the traditional way. The traditional way is just get all your dope boys and dope girls, bring them to the club, throw a lot of money, get your buzz on the street — I just did it with pure talent. So a lot of people look at me like, ‘How did he get with Kanye and Jay, and I’m bigger than him?’ ”

“So Original.” “I think I’m cool just being me,” CyHi said. “I don’t try too much; I don’t try too less. I feel like I’m cool being me. I feel like it’s cool to be you: Be original, don’t follow in nobody’s footsteps unless it’s called for. If it’s a legend or a role model you look up to, but other than that, do you. Be yourself. Don’t let no one pressure you to do nothing you don’t want to do. And be original.”

“Hero.” “I always felt once you get to a certain status, higher powers even try to bring you down sometimes,” the Prynce said. “I always say, ‘They stoned Jesus.’ How I look at it is, eventually all of us will leave here one day and hopefully we’ll be inspirational to someone’s life. I want to be at a level where I have a lot of influence on young brothers and sisters. To somebody, my niece, my nephew, a friend of mine, or whatever the case may be. I want to be a hero before I leave.”
