Pusha T has a well documented beef with fellow rapper Lil Wayne, and most of the verse seems to be him firing shots at Weezy.

People talk a lot about certain allegations made against Mike, but the man had HITS and everytime once of his songs started playing at a party or at a club you know people’d always get up and dance to them.

“Hong Kong Kids” with it’s controversial music video and lyrics, propelled SkiBs to the spotlight in HK. This allowed him to be featured on local newspapers, and for his song to become an “anthem” of sorts for expat kids for years to come.

The refrain ‘I Me Mine’ is an obvious reference to ego. It can be seen as satirising the egotistic, or a reference to Hindu scripture that condemns those with ego.

The protagonist of this song is obviously an egomaniac, as all he thinks about every day and night is himself.

The set of pronouns which forms the song’s title is a conventional way of referring to the ego in a Hindu context. For example, the Bhagavad Gita 2:71-72 can be translated as “They are forever free who renounce all selfish desires and break away from the ego-cage of "I”, “me” and “mine” to be united with the Lord. This is the supreme state. Attain to this, and pass from death to immortality."

Perhaps subconsciously, the song also reflects Harrison’s reaction to the clashes of egos in the Beatles' painful closing days as a group.

I Me Mine is the ego problem. There are two ‘I’s: the little 'i’ when people say ‘I am this’; and the big ‘I’ – is duality and ego. There is nothing that isn’t part of the complete whole. When the little ‘i’ merges into the big ‘I’ then you are really smiling!

— George Harrison

This was the very last song recorded by the Beatles, on 3rd January 1970 – and Lennon was absent from the session. It’s sadly fitting that “I Me Mine” is a song about creative division and inflated egos, two elements that played a huge role in the breakup of the band.

I just liked the idea of Georgia girls and talking about places like the Ukraine as if they were California, you know? It was also hands across the water, which I’m still conscious of. ‘Cause they like us out there, even though the bosses in the Kremlin may not. The kids from there do. And that to me is very important for the future of the race.
- Paul McCartney

The narrator of the song is as happy to be back in chilly Russia as an American would be happy to be back in sunny Cali (as the Beach Boys would frequently sing).

With the way it’s worded, it almost sounds like he doesn’t want to be there. Note that he says “YOU don’t know how lucky YOU are.”

With Paul’s quote, the “you” is probably referring to himself as an inside thought, and the narrator really does enjoy being back in the USSR. Just thought that was interesting.

We’re led to believe that ‘here’ is a place in the intro, but in the verses we see that the ‘here’ the narrator is talking about is wherever he is, whether it be ‘here’, ‘there’ or anywhere else in the world.

The narrator is claiming that no matter where he is in the world he knows he’ll live a good life if his love is by his side.

Paul begins with an intent or seeking of purpose in life. This can be associated with drug usage, as psychedelics lead to a seeking of higher purpose. Nods to this can be seen in the dreamlike imagery and use of hypothetical verbs and conjunctions
