Became

i agree that the song is about eyedea because of the simple goin down the wrong path (drugs) the wolves finally catching up to him and making them their own (what the drugs do to you) and slug started seeing eyedea more as competition in the rap game instead of what he was becoming ("I forgot to worry about what you became You're not hunted you're not the aim You're just another dog with hunger pains I was so afraid that you'd become the game"). Also Eyedea left a lot of potential when he died("all there was was an empty sleeping bag and a backpack"). he also explains how "the wolves never stopped the tracks kept going" which means the drugs are looking for more victims then he says how he "took off" and he'll "never go into those woods again" explaining how hes learned from eyedea and wont ever let drugs affect him again. the only contradicting point is when he says "It's not that tragic its not a shame"
