A group of friends of mine invited me to go to the Firefly music festival. I had no interest in going until I learned Tyler was performing. He has been one of my favorite artists since I was 14. When the day of his set came, I made sure to get there early in the day to camp out for about 8 hours to make sure I was as close to the stage as possible. Once Igors Theme started playing, the energy of the crowd instantly escalated before he even made an appearance. His set was amazing. Near the end he was performing "She" and then stopped to pick something up. It was someones bra. When he asked who's bra it belonged to, the person screamed "ME!". I turned to my right and the girl who threw it was standing next to me. Tyler kept the bra to teach her a lesson about making "horrible life decisions". Jasper then said "someone get this lady a shirt". I then gave her my black button down I was wearing. Still flabbergasted by this girl throwing her bra, Tyler returned back to say to her "Where did you get that shirt?". She pointed to me, in which he replied "Now you have to take this weird ass niggas shirt". With all the hoopla going on, he ended it with "You a nice man, you going places". Ever since then I decided to take those words and run with them.
