we were killing each other (black people) it was stressful living that type of lifestyle. So i turned my life around.

Mut is 1 of my childhood friends mom who passed away some years ago.

But in a nut shell i’m summing up urban neighborhoods as a whole. killings. & unemployement which is a direct result of no jobs or opportunities.

Parts of a shooting I seen as a child.

madison square garden reference. but my grandma was in her actual garden so much you would’ve thought she was a knicks fan figuratively speaking.

Jay-z reference where he titled this beat my 1st song when it actually was the last song on his cd the black album. but my 1st song on Westside Story.

my dad loved my mom similar to larenz tate and nia long’s relationship in love jones.

actually wasn’t a bill collector but she was on the phone just as much as 1.

Police camera’s they hang on street poles in urban neighborhoods don’t work. they’re used as a scare tactic.

meaning I need money. I was referring to a Million dollars. Its a play on words/metaphor because Meal & Mill sound very similar.

‘didn’t order a vibrator but i’m waiting on this DILDO'
I’m waiting on this deal though. (self explanatory)

Slaves were Niggas. I’m also a nigga. But I’m that Nigga. so, I should’ve been a slave.

Firemen are always around smoke. and the lighter i’m referring to creates fire. therefore those bars are beyond relevant.
