All these years of suffering have given him a pessimistic outlook on life, he is starting to wonder what the point of life really is. Is it really just years of pain/suffering and then you die?

This is similar to the message that Nas and AZ had on their classic track, Life’s a Bitch.

Often, autistic children (who are often labeled offensively as retards) are seen as being able to only do one thing that they specialize in, in this case people think that Hopsin can only make music, even though he doesn’t suffer from autism. They continually tell him to pump out more music for them to jam to but don’t care about him, the artist. This bothers Hopsin because he doesn’t understand how you can love someone’s music if you don’t even know who they are/what they believe in.

Some rappers act friendly with one another, putting on a facade just because they know it’s good for publicity, their image and business. As Hopsin is well aware, many people you meet in the industry aren’t true friends but rather people who simply want to leech off your success and fame. This is one of the core reasons why Hopsin felt compelled to retire and leave the industry.

In an interview with Power 105.1’s The Breakfast Club Kanye West spoke on this very topic, detailing rappers put on and face friendliness, saying:

Before I came in the game, rappers was killing each other. You ain’t even heard about that no more. First time rappers rapped on a song with each other that were at like a God level, all of them, was “Swagger Like Us”. After that, all the songs were like “Swagger Like Us”. I’m showing us how we can work together.

The girl had said they would always be together and never have any issues, Tinie thought the relationship was in a good position, enough so he began to think they’d get married one day (or make it to the altar). This is foreshadowing their relationship falling apart in the later lines.

Wordplay here: Em claims that he and his father wouldn’t be able to walk a city block (roughly 600 ft) before Em knocked him out (knocking one’s block off). He still clearly hasn’t forgiven him, and that’s why a situation like this will never happen.

It also echoes back to these lines from Sing For the Moment:

He’s a problem child, what bothers him all comes out
When he talks about his fucking dad walking out
Cos he hates him so bad that he blocks him out
If he ever saw him again he’d probably knock him out
