He penned this statement in the music video’s description via YouTube,

“Everyone is going through something. I want to let the people who look to me for inspiration know that they’re not alone. We’re all pushing through these times together, and we’re going to stay down till we come up.”

During the first verse, Tdot illdude delivers rhymes about his steps toward self-improvement and a previous job that provided him with a never-ending cash flow. He spits, “Serving work in front of neighbors, learned the game from off the pavement/ 1st-3rd, collecting payments/Hit a goal and keep on aiming.” Elsewhere, Tdot goes in-depth not only about his work ethic, but also about being an esteemed plug. “I mapped out my goals. Then I strategized/Make my dreams come true/I had to actualize,” he raps. Before getting into the second array of bars, Tdot confidently declares that he’ll never lose his touch in the game.

And so, he admits just that in this one-liner, “I lead the horse to water, if he drink is up to him.” Besides this, Tdot illdude raps about culture-vultures and injustices toward activities that are deemed trivial. “Life’s a bitch but I still take glances/We don’t pick the small room baby we just dancing, yea,” he spits. “Appropriate the trap, but niggas still in danger. All he did was have some weed/Why he still in cages?” Then, TDot illdude throws out some words of wisdom before the bridge seeps in.
