it's talking about how he transitioned from following his dreams when he came to new york from cleveland...
he was an artsy kid in school who wanted to fit in and tried too hard.
the 2nd verse is him going to ny and explaining the shit he went through....he was literally poor as shit couch surfing everywhere...the ramen noodle diet was what he lived off of because he couldnt afford anything ....and he said in an interview that he would sit outside of his job at abercrombie and smoke a "loosie" staring at the burger king across the street wishing he could afford something there =(
the loosie being a "meal of grinders" is basically the substitute for a real meal in which he could'nt get because he had to struggle to survive
and he went through a shit load of jobs in ny where he explained....
the song is based off of his history/struggle and how he did'nt give up...
My dude cudi came a LONG way man....i truly respect the man and his music.
ok....im cudistan so bear with me lol
