Known for their ability to evoke raw emotions through music, Black Sherif and Fireboy DML pour their hearts into this track, creating a profound narrative about perseverance, love, and the realities of life.
Black Sherif opens the song with his signature storytelling approach, recounting his journey from humble beginnings. He reflects on his struggles and the sacrifices made along the way, emphasizing the importance of loyalty and gratitude.
