so what's this song about? from what I make of it, a man was shot to death(?) and buried. their friends gave him a blunt and poured liquor over him. later, hours(?) pass and he wakes up, is reminded of his family and decides to break out. he digs his way up out of the ground. he hits up a train station but sees his reflection and gets shook. he then hits up his old neighboor and notices the cops are the same so not much time has passed, some little kid tries to sell him coke, and the guy being from this town usually selling rocks to people thought it was weird. apparently, the kids at the neighborhood didnt recognize him and decided to rob him. when the kid asked if he was scared he said there's no heaven for a gangsta. it's still pretty ambigious.
