“White color Tesla, self drives- that’s a cool whip. Pour my ice up on yo’ girl that’s a cool bitch” – Marc The Prophet
When asked about the inspiration behind the song, Marc The Prophet said,
“I can’t even necessarily say something ‘inspired’ the song. I just heard the beat and immediately got to laying down some lyrics for it. It was an extremely fun sounding/high energy beat so I wanted to make a fun sounding song. So maybe the feeling of having ‘fun’ inspired the song itself.”
The artist’s stage name, Marc The Prophet, came about in a unique way. He explained,
“I had a song back in the day, like 2017 back in the day lol, where I had a line that said ‘I am the Prophet, I’m making that Profit’. Lame and cliche, I know. My artist name at the time was something like ‘Marco P'(based off Marco the Phoenix from the One Piece anime) or it might’ve even just been my government name at that time. Anyways a lot of my friends like that song and that line specifically and they were like ‘you should just be Marc the Prophet’. So here I am, Marc the Prophet, trying to live up to the meaning of that stage name and spread knowledge and truth through my songs whenever I can. Except for in cases like Type Shit where I just made it to be a simple fun song.”
