Herb will shoot someone, and then act like he doesn’t know what happened.

If the cops get involved he can’t trust anyone because some people are snitches.

These niggas is bitches
They snakes and they fakes and they leechers
So I don’t got shit for them

Herb has a couple homies that have been killed, and it makes him feel alone.

This brings to mind his line in “4 minutes of hell Pt. 3”

Lost my homies now i feel like god just dropped a rock on me

Forget who was hot in the past, it’s Herb’s time to shine.

But the answer to who is the next hottest is unanswerable. Herb is not a psychic. Haters try to tell him that he is not the next hottest, but he doesn’t even talk to him.

Chance is right, In Chicago there hasn’t been much positivity. The violence has removed all of the light and it has become dark.

Chance has even called for peace in Chicago on the Aresenio Hall Show

Even though God’s phone dies every-time Chano calls on him, he still thinks God is awesome. He thinks the opposite of the devil, alluding to R. Kelly’s “Prayer Changes.”

To “take someone to church” means you’re going to prove them wrong. Plus, we know Chance is good like books in churches and this isn’t the first time that he has expressed to go to church.

Keeping up with the gospel sound in this hook, Chance goes on to say he needs a choir to help him spread his message. When he performs this song live, he encourages the audience to sing the last part of the hook with him. In that moment, the audience is his “choir.”

Chance is feeling his recent success, which is sometimes even hard for him to believe. The “fire” is a metaphor for his success. By “fanning” it, he’s making the fire grow, making him more and more successful.

“Riding on twenties” refers to 20-inch tire rims. Large rims signify success, and also have a significance in rap music, referenced by the likes of T.I.Three 6 Mafia and 50 Cent. Chance is noting his rise to success, saying that “twenty years prior” he couldn’t have afforded his lifestyle now.

The fact that he doesn’t finish his sentence is sort of a tongue-in-cheek nod to how the rags to riches story in rap is a little played. He knows that you know the story by heart, so he doesn’t have to finish it for you.
