It sounds like this could be a song that's not about a girl at all. It sounds like Em is personifying the rap game as a girl that he keeps stealing from other rappers. He keeps talking about being the best that there is. Talking about other rappers losing the game: "Loosin up with a little freestyle. By the way, am I losing you? Am I makin you look bad? Well I got news for ya, homie, ya losin her." Talking about how other rappers are gonna hate their own material as soon as they hear Ems and know that they can't compete: "It's still gonna be a blow out. You're gonna wanna throw out your whole album. Might mist through the shit, and try to salvage something to see if you can save any of it, punk but none of it's fucken with me." Saying that there are way more terrible rappers in the game than there are good ones, and that Em has taken over the game since he first came out: "She say's it's quicker to count the things that ain't wrong with you than to count the things that are. There's a seven disc cd changer in her car, and I'm in every single slot, and you're not" There are definitely other references in the song, if you read it back and think from this point of view you'll catch some of them. Em got real deep on this album, he's hidden a lot of messages behind the words. Sometimes he lets you know what he's really meaning, like on 25 to life, and other times he leaves it open ended for you to interpret, like on seduction and space bound. Unbelievable album, I put it second behind MMLP. |

I think this song is 100% about his addiction, and not about a girl at all. Listen to the words. The entire opening the second verse is about drugs. "I do whatever it takes When I'm with you I get the shakes My body aches when I ain't With you I have zero strength There's no limit on how far I would go No boundaries, no lengths" The third verse, the year and six months reference, that's how long he's been clean. In the first verse, ending it with "You're a supernova" talking about how the feeling while on drugs is like nothing else and it was the bright spot for him in his dark days, but they burn out relatively fast and then it's back to normal, just like the effects of a drug high. "I wasn't lookin' but I stumbled onto you, must've been fate" Talking about how he never wanted to become hooked on drugs, but through all the tough times and losing Proof it just kinda happened because he needed them at the time to get through. This song is riddled with drug references the entire way though, first time I heard it I thought it was about addiction. Em is a lyrical genius and he continues to show it on this song and the entire album. Amazing work by Em on Recovery. |
