Ab-Soul is never lacking with the wordplay!

It sounds as if he’s addressing someone saying “I’ve never lost, G [and] P.S. get lost”, however, there’s a bit of wordplay here in regards to putting the G with PS (GPS, Global Positioning System) and “get lost” referring back to GPS.

Only Ab could come up with this stuff!

This line was taken from the first line of the Tha Dogg Pound song Let’s Play House:

Young Daz struck a match and the match went out

This shouldn’t come as a surprise seeing how much The Game references Death Row & its affiliates throughout this project.

This line might be a shoutout to a lyric from Earl Sweatshirt’s “DNA”:

Ain’t no bitch in my DNA

Frank finishes off the verse by iterating the fact that he’s got no fear in his body adding on the sentiment he’s nodding to throughout the verse.

Here, Gimmie represents an individual who’s always asking for hand-outs, always leeching off of someone’s success/wealth, and never takes responsibility for themselves.

As a result of his newfound fame and success, YG is noticing that his friends and acquaintances are turning into Gimmie and feel as though they are entitled to something – so much so that YG’s had enough of those always coming to him that he’s decided to take matters into his own hands and shoot them.

It’s this type of “gimme” behavior that has also led YG to not trusting his inner circle which only fuels the paranoia he’s experiencing made evident on songs such as Still Brazy.

Slim 400 is not only a frequent collaborator of YG’s but he’s dropped some songs that heavily represent and describe that Compton lifestyle such as “In My Hood” and “Bompton City G’s”. His name even alludes to the fact that he breathes and dies Compton (referring to the 400 neighborhood block).

Because of that, it’s safe to conclude that if you’ve never heard of him, you’re more than likely not associated with Compton.

A play-on words with the religion Jehovah’s Witness. Jehovah is another name for God in Christian literature and culture so YG is comparing himself to God while the audience is left to witness the greatness.

Moreover, this could be also a double entendre in the sense of looking at the line as “I’m G Hova, you my witness”; Hova referring to Jay Z and comparing himself to the widely-known MC.

This girl wants to do everything a man does – she wants to make moves like a man, gang-bang like the men do, and sleep around like men do. What she doesn’t realize is all the things that come with taking on that responsibility.

In a recent interview with The Breakfast Club Power 105.1, YG gives his insight on the double-standard and female stereotypes:

Y'all gotta know that y'all supposed to be better than us. Y'all supposed to take care of the crib. Be better than us.

Although many may interpret this song as a direct blow to women in general, YG also goes on to say that we all need to do better and that some female rappers should jump on the remix to this song in response to the men out there.
