Weird move by TDE. If that’s a true story, Ab should be the one to reveal it during the promo run. Assuming an album ever comes out.

he literally tweeted that the song/video is inspired by true events. you know he is not the type to say "hey i jumped off a height (allegedly) here's a song about it" :comeon:

What was the Capital Steeze allusion?
Both Alori and Steez jumped off a building also I feel that the survivor guilt line is a double meaning (we know soul likes to throw in a couple of those). due to the aforementioned and as it can also be a reference made not just to the fallen but that's a song from Joey Badass last album where Soul himself spoke towards the end of the track about first meeting Steez and how he just was a different person and full of energy. I know Soul has the 47 tattoo on the inside of his foreman and him and the majority of Pro Era are close .

Oh gl...I actually had no idea Steeze died that way. I definitely remember him committing suicide, but I never got the full story.

I've always rated Soul, wasnt always a fan of his beat selection but his lyrics were hard hitting and though provoking. I wish we can work through his demons and get back to form. And if this song is anything to go by, he's headed in the right direction
