When I first heard this a lot of the meaning went over my head but I sat down with headphones on and really started to dig in. I could break down every line and explain the meaning I got from it, but I think this bar really sums up how powerful Blu can be; Couldn’t believe I was really bout to father a child When all of this foul World girls are brought up in now All th...
