It’s been a while since Joe and his mom talked and the first thing she said to him was that she loved him, cared about him, and that she would always be there in his time of need. Classic traits of a loving mother.

At first Joe tell’s you that his girl was beaten by “someone” for year and “someone” who could of helped her just calmly watched then he quickly intensifies the verse by telling us that it was her step dad that constantly beat her and it was her own mother that just idly watched and did nothing about it. The effect of this verse revolves around the whole concept of the song, Joe is giving us all the details, he’s not holding anything back.

Wale is talking about the future in this line, he’s not worried about “little Bush” which is referring to our 43rd U.S. President George W. Bush who is of course the son of our 41st U.S. President George H. W. Busch. Wale is promoting Obama throughout the song so when he says “little Rallo” he is referring to the future black president of the U.S. since Obama already has the next 4 years locked up. Rallo is a character from the T.V. series The Cleveland Show. Wale doesn’t want to talk about the past he want’s to look at the future and see even a brighter future for the African-American community throughout the nation. As you can see here on the preview for the Cleveland Show Rallo as pretending to be Obama, Wale could be specifically referring to this episode.
