About this song
The song is compared to Common's "I Used To Love H.E.R." and 2Pac's "Me and My Girlfriend" as a track that is not what it first appears to be. It is presented as a sort of reply to critics who treat hip-hop as a jealous, neglectful partner.
What it's about
On the surface it reads as a breakup message to a jealous, emotionally abusive lover, but the ending reveals it is directed at hip-hop itself. The idea of leaving hip-hop for good is treated as a complaint rather than a serious intention.
