In this song the speaker believes if you are having a hard time with mental health you can go to your friends for help. He says there are problems with society and that these are causing depression and anxiety. He warns against the dangers of relying on drugs and alcohol as these make things worse, instead he advocates for education. Furthermore, those who cultivate respect and acquire knowledge will develop good morals and be of use to society. He uses a metaphor of a school to describe the Hip-Hop culture at the time with the rise of West Coat rap and the challenge to East Coast Rap’s superiority.
