I just lost my grandpa yesterday. He raised me and this is rough can't sleep. This song is about peoples strugglin but what makes it authentic and real is the last verse. Scarface made me lose it. I stayed up all nite tryin to forget but, man the last verse dealing wit death kills me. Jigga wit the "streets" being "conduit" is what makes him the best alive.... Sick song but wit and upbeat tempo to remind us that life is a cycle. Up's and downs.
