Honors English’s debut single featuring Lupe Fiasco and TL Cross

“This song emanates from the emotions found in the horns. The mood of the instruments seems to elevate me to a higher place every time they reach my ears. At once smooth and triumphant, this record is a mantra for achievement and inspiration and the core of why I make music. Every time I listen to this song it feels new again…there’s some magic in the way it begins. Super Special Thanks to Lupe Fiasco for the feature! Support Lasers in stores now!” – Honors English

A trap is a drug spot. Pusha is a known drug dealer and talks about his drug dealing skills all the time; for example, on March 2011’s “Blow (Freestyle),” he says:

Malice found religion, Tony found prison
I’m just tryna find my way out this fucking kitchen
A birds eye view got me channelling my vision
Turn one to two now the kilo’s got a sibling
