I agree that it's about trusting your significant other but I think there's a little more to it. Like here; "Seems like I'm on the side, you only lovin' your mic" and "With all my classes I don't have the time for life's thrills So when you sweatin' on stage, think of me when you rhyme And don't be listenin' to your homies, they be leadin' you blind"; It's like, trials and tribulations throughout all relationships. They all go through it but these two people are saying that they can handle it as long as they stay trusting eachother and keeps their eyes focused, you know? Like, don't pay attention to all the stuff on the side, the men and women who are trying to get at you and always trust that the other person is faithful, knowing that you never have to question that because without trust, relationships fall apart.
