He’s saying that politics doesn’t do anything for him personally or spiritually but politicians are always after people to go vote. Notice prey/pray wordplay.

Though he misses his family, he still wants to live the rap lifestyle and shifts his mindset to something more positive.

Stick together and keep your friends close. Suture is another term for stitching a wound, thus emphasizing the sticking together.

She’s in school and he’s living on his flow (rapping skill) but probably also on the floor (starving artist)

Don’t think it can be God as the next few lines lead us to believe he has sex with the girl.

I think it’s probably just showing how the cycle repeats. He has this huge revelation about commitment and shit, which upsets him. Upset, he then turns to this comforting female. He admits it’s a distraction but keeps going and they end up having sex and he appears happy again, but he’ll likely end up thinking again like the beginning of the verse.

"We blowing hershey" (Danny Brown – Die Like A Rockstar) | pending

Just noticed the other day, on Black and Brown he ends his verse by saying “Chronic comin in the same bag as a turkey, dark colored purple and it’s tasting like Hershey” so he probably means weed

"I'm nada just like you" (Wale – Limitless) | pending

It has a sort of double meaning here though. Yes, he’s saying he’s “nothing like you” but he’s also saying he’s “nothing, just like you” The comma changes the sentence there.

Paired with the line before it, he’s saying to the listener that he used to be nothing but made something out of himself, and in turn is showing you that you can do the same.

"Never be Snoop nor Dre" (Kendrick Lamar – Bitch, Don't Kill My Vibe Remix) | accepted

He’s not telling everyone else to quit, he’s recalling what haters said to him when he was starting out. They told him he’d never be as good as those legends.

"At ATM's withdrawing from promethazine fluid" (Black Milk – Wake Up) | pending

I think it’s a double entendre, as ATM could also be read as “at the moment”, a common text-speak abbreviation. So he’d be saying that at the moment he’s having withdrawals from promethazine. Also probably why he’s tossing at night in the next line.

I think it’s probably heroin. Could potentially be hash? Hash atleast kinda looks like chocolate

"Say they 19 and they all look 30" (Black Milk – Black & Brown) | pending

It’s either the first or BearClaw’s suggestion. That KFC is bull

“blowing out a candle” can be a metaphor for killing someone. He’s killing them, which leads to closed lids (caskets) and dark eyes (sadness).

That’s definitely not Rocky
