“Boy Meets World” is an incredible outro and a fitting summary to the album’s simple yet incredible artwork.

In the first half of the track Fashawn recaps many of the themes already spoken on while telling a detailed story of his childhood.

The second half of the song is the track “Same Ol Song” from his mixtape One Shot One Kill.

The first half of the song samples the melody from King Floyd’s My Girl.

At the end, Fashawn shouts out everyone who helped make Boy Meets World possible and all those who had an influence on his childhood.

A truly beautiful end to a classic hip-hop album.
