The beat and style of this song is just gorgeous. What I get from this song is the story a mother about to be shot, murdered (I guess she got her hands dirty with the wrong people; mafia? gang?). She loves her daughter and she wants that love to survive, but she knows what has to be done to protect her child.

Alternatively, this could also be a metaphor for just death in general.

My Opinion

It's probably about cops being assholes, shooting innocent people. Probably the feds. (Undercover but nobody's fooled, no)
