Here Pabs goes off on artists whose raps about drug dealing are pure fiction, whereas his raps are anecdotal and he uses some clever word play to demonstrate this.

E3 is an East London postcode for an area called ‘Bow’, and ‘cats’ is slang for a drug addict – he’s serving the fiends up in Bow, so he has ‘bow cats’.

Bow E3 is popularised for being home to many emerging grime artists such as Dizzee Rascal and Wiley, and also being a ‘rough’ area.

At the time of the release of this tape along with House of Balloons and Thursday, Abel hadn’t reached his commercial peak but claims he is “up next” and is content with this.

This may also reference his drug use, for which only the peak is pleasurable. This is a side effect of heavy drug use, it leads to tolerance – you require higher doses over longer periods. So, all you can actually feel is the peak.

Abel’s about to reach his breaking point.

The girl represents the music, and the man represents corporations—labels, agents, managers—everything that comes with “blowing up.” This line could be interpreted as the following:

• If the man calls the girl again, asking her about her whereabouts, his guilt will hit an all time high, and he won’t be able to continue cheating with her. She will then have to go back to her man.

• Therefore, if the pressure on him to release music and enter deeper into the mainstream continues, he feels as though he won’t be able to handle it, and thus leave the music behind. Music and the mainstream will continue their relationship as usual without him.

The ‘neighbours know my name’ line was popularised by the song by Trey Songz.
If the neighbors know XO’s [more specifically The Weeknds] name then obviously he’s laying it down right and she’s screaming his name loudly.
He may also be referencing to how his discography is in most peoples ‘sex’ playlist, which the neighbors would inevitably hear.

Additionally, this line could refer to these people acknowledging his presence; and to him, this is an indication of personal success.

The Weeknd has a special interest in sharing girls with the whole XO family. Previous references to running trains on women include:

Girl please don’t go, you’ve gotta please my boys

There’s just something that I need from you,
Is to meet my boys

You lookin' at my nigga, you can have him too

They loving the crew
