      1. Chronic says:

        I thought of that exact line when I saw the Ross feature. Whatever though, maybe they’re actually starting to act like grown men and put their differences aside.

    2. say it aint so says:

      actually i remember on “Keep It 100” Royce praised Khaled getting him that Ross verse right quick while Big Sean was ducking his calls so its probably legit

    1. Doombot #2387 says:

      Word. Love the song, but how ya granny dying in a hospital she didn’t live near mean anything? You just said she was an in accident. If she was in the car, of course she probably wasn’t near home.

      1. poetic assasin says:

        I think he was saying how God put everyone together at the same place yo witness life and death *shrugs*

      2. Cantona says:

        It means something when your baby is being born in exactly the same hospital at the same time. It’s like an extra layer, which is also the album title.

  3. Bks Finest says:
