This song is one of my favorites by this artist. It expounds on the wealth of subject matter and pain experienced by people in the world that can be channeled into music and expressed through hip hop. The genre has such power to therapize and raise awareness of various kinds of struggles, but it’s often sadly squandered on materialism or banal topics. In spite of this misuse, for a fan of the genre and culture, you can’t help but love it still, and rather than desert its fanbase you recognize and mourn its flaws. Since it covers such a range of topics, mostly dealing with people’s problems, the lyrics are laced with some mature and disturbing subject matter, and a little profanity.
