Lyrically speaking, this is a very sad and deep song. It's about facing reality and saying goodbye to people who cannot do that and are in a state of denial about who they are, their shortcomings and the problems that they face. You're having to move on, and somehow accept that you can't stay with the people you want to be close with. They don't have your values or awareness. And they just do not see you, like the very last line says. Maybe someday they will get there. But that's very unlikely.
@TheEBKJ Yep, that's life. You have to keep moving on to become the person you want to be. On the flip side, you will meet new people who are at the same level of conciousness that will encourage and inspire you. Its swings and roundabouts :)
mean coolio luff dis song! yo! c u wen i get there my brother! r.i.p nan gramps unkle nigs cuzzi tom unkle jordan baby girl miss you's everyday! R.I.P brother dessa!!!!!!!!!!!
@takesometokes yeah bro i seen that movie where they steal that money and they take it back then the black dude hacks the bosses cameras and puts the video of the whiteguy jumping around tryna get the flames from his shoes hahahah watched it while i was in jail not long ago hahha

Why everybody next to great song is writing things like that? Time's changing so music is changing.Not only rap. One day someone's gonna write "ohh, nowadays there's no more such great artist like Katy Perry,Taio Cruz and Justin Bieber ".That was witch every type of music,is and will be. Everything has is own end. Even music.
