Similar to “West Savannah” off Cilvia Demo, Rashad shares a poetic description of how much his lover means to him. Both tracks depict a young, troubled couple who care deeply about each other.
Rashad has a son with his longtime ex-girlfriend, and it’s possible this track is about her.
The song title pays homage to New Orleans rap veteran Silkk the Shocker, and part of the third verse interpolates his track “If I Don’t Gotta.”
The first verse, is when things are perfect.
The second verse, Isaiah is starting to get famous and he has to choose between “the world” and his girl. He says “you know I be back” his girl tries her best to pretend she believes they’ll ever be together again. The fame and fans are calling his name and it’s getting hard for him to downplay his genius in his normal Tennessee life.
The second hook changes from “i” to “to” know you love me. That’s all it is, he knows somewhere she still loves him but he’s not there.
Third verse comes and he’s Hollywood, got a drug problem, his girls love him for the $ and his ‘gripes’ about the $. He wouldn’t be there if he didn’t have to (I don’t wanna be here if I dont gotta). But it’s all part of the job.
The song is produced by Syd’s The Internet bandmate, Steve Lacy.
