Now that the relationship is over all he has to do now to pass time is to deal with his heartbreak, resulting in Hydrocodone usage

Note the death imagery employed to describe the relationship: “dead,” “chalk it out” (like a dead body), and “heart in a coffin.” Kembe senses a definite finality to the end of the relationship

Kembe offers reasons for their break-up here, but they seem pretty phony: he blames their arguments, which every couple has, and her superficial looks, which he must have known of since the beginning of the relationship. It seems that Kembe is just looking for a reason to drop the girl after he got what he wanted out of her

The imagery here is identifies his girl as a movie girl as both a movie star (“phoniest cast”) for her looks, but also a plastic doll (“plastic,” “package”), for the lack of authenticity in her former life. Kembe is confident that the girl is happy that he gave her a newer, realer life

Mick can’t literally be thirsty – not if his “piss ain’t never been so clear” – so he must be thirsty in the less literal way. To add to that, he’s tired, and turns to smoking to relieve all this stress

Mick mentions smoking as a form of release in the second verse, too

Carrying a gun doesn’t make you real – anyone can carry a gun

This recalls a sentiment Kendrick Lamar expressed on “Poe Man’s Dreams”:

You like to mistake a street nigga for real nigga
That same nigga that kill with ya, will squeal with ya

Kembe adapts some lyrics from the lead single to this EP, “As I Unfold”:

My life is like a road with highs and lows
Put me in the spotlight I’m like a rose
How high it grows
My life is like a road with highs and lows
And can’t you see that my vibe is like a rose
As I unfold, as I unfold

Kembe also drops a reference to the EP’s second single, “Hydrocodone (Poker Face)” earlier in the line

What better way for Kembe to start off his EP than a shout out to The Village?

The second verse outlines the results and affects of the relationship Kembe described in the first verse, as girls are more wary of him after the way he treated his last girl

We see, for the first time, major interest in Kembe on the girl’s part. Despite the fact that Kembe spent the majority of the verse chasing and lauding her, as soon as this happens, he discards her, and we see how he made her his prey, as he states in the hook

Kembe still has a deep passion for this girl after their first night together, and has a strong dedication to her, comparing his passion to a burning flame. This may, of course, be some foreshadowing, as all flames eventually burn out. Also interesting to consider is the fact that fire is typically a very destructive thing
