Question about "I Gave You Power" 28yrs later...

[Mike Ock]

I just recently thought about this randomly while bike riding.

The two dudes talking at the start of the song...are they the people who killed the owner of the Nas gun and the song is based on everything leading up to the shooting?....Or is the song about one of them picking up the gun after the shooting and getting killed at the end?

One of the dudes say "drop that heat son" or something like that. So I think it would be the 1st scenario.

Crazy you made this thread, cause this is the Nas song I’ve played the most since probably 2022
