First off, you missed the double entendre with the line "If he walk around with that stick it aint andre 3k" thats a reference to a bar from jcole "but i still treat a ride through the hood, like a hike through the woods, got a stick that i take with me". 2nd the line "thats a k with all these nines he gone see pet cemetery" was a TRIPLE entendre, K with all these 9's, Thats his name "k" dot, and a gun reference "K" is an ak47 reference to vs a 9mm the aK wins, then the obvious part is the K-9 reference to the all the dogs album ending up in the pet cemetery.

It has one of the greatest first lines in a song I have ever heard. Keep up the great work, I can only see this channel growing !

Prince wrote slave across his face until he got out of his contract, and then did his own distribution deal, where he got all the money for himself he freed his self from the industry no middleman he took all the money for himself. People look up to Prince use the first artist to ever do it.
