Prozac is an antidepressant that’s supposed to make you lively, or being “up”. Even after swallowing a mouth full of them, Shad can still party (get down). This is also referring to two lines up, where he’s ‘so sick with the verse.’

Shad isn’t the writer or the owner of his life story. While he is the main character, he has no control over his life and where it will take him. This line is similar to a line from the intro to Shad’s previous album, “Quest For Glory”, where he raps the line:

My life is like a magazine, got so many issues
God edits the stories

He hasn’t quite reached his goal, but he’s doing fine by his own standards. The reason he is where he is is because that is the kind of person he’s established, through the good and the bad, and although it can get better, he realizes that he’s okay with where he is. He is a humble man with goals of uplifting society through music like this. This song deals with issues like karma, with this line detailing how the good and bad come back to you.

This line references the 1990 movie Edward Scissorhands, about a man who, as the title suggests, has long, scissor-like blades on his hands. Ghost can cut up grams of cocaine as easily as Edward Scissorhands would, due to his experience and mastery of the art.

Shad’s heroes consist of those that have given their lives for their passion, most notably artists such as 2Pac, Biggie, Kurt Kobain, Big L, Marvin Gaye, John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix, etc. These people had the heart to put their heart all the way in, realizing that it is what they had to do to achieve success. If one does not put everything they have in, the turnout will not be as great.

This is also a reference to the Gnarls Barkley hit “Crazy” released in 2006. There is a similar line in the song that goes like this

My heroes had the heart to lose their lives out on a limb

“Bird” is used as a slang term for kilos of cocaine, so this lyric is a variation of that, by saying he moves “chickens” instead of birds.

Like at the start of Pimp C’s verse, Bun B also starts his in a similar fashion to his respective verse on “Cocaine In the Back of the Ride”:

Aiyyo it’s Bun B bitch, and I’m the king of the hubba trade

“Drinking the Kool Aid” is an idiom meaning to follow something without fully understanding or appreciating it, hopping on to be cool and fit in with the norm. This fits in with what Hopsin frequently puts in his songs; that people need to start thinking for themselves, not blindly following others and taking drugs and other illegalities that will harm them.

Referring to the hook of the song where the Biggie verse in this song originally came from, “Niggas Bleed”

(Niggas bleed just like us)
Picture me being scared
Of a nigga that breathe the same air as me
(Niggas bleed just like us)
Picture me being shook
We can both pull burners, make the motherfucking beef cook
(Niggas bleed just like us)
Picture a nigga hiding
My life in that man’s hands, while he just deciding
(Niggas bleed just like us)
I’d rather go toe-to-toe with all of y'all
Running ain’t in my protocol

The message of this is that they are scared of no one, everyone is human and can die as easily as themselves.

If it comes to it, Biggie tells his man to shoot “slugs” (bullets) between his enemy’s eyes to ensure they’re dead, then to leave the scene as fast as possible. He relates this to a scene in James Cameron’s 1994 True Lies, in which Arnold Schwarzenegger’s character shoots a man in the same fashion.
