Putting someone in a bath full of cold water and giving them downers is what you do when they’re speeding out. Given the recurrent theme of crack in the track, we’re talking about a buddy that’s all fucked up on crack and you gotta bring him down or take him to emerg- which is a bad goddamn scene.

After 10 listens, I still hear
‘Cause now there’s kids doing grown man BIDS nigga’
Relating this to the line above, my take on this is-
Don’t get sent back to prison or your 14 year old may end up in there with you
