He was transported to the hospital where he is not expected to survive"

The following lines describe yet another "crime filled weekend" in Memphis, with countless dead, many injured, and several suspects arrested. The chorus asserts the gangsta culture that is deeply ingrained in the city's violent nature. However, it also highlights the sorrow and pain that comes with living in a crime-filled environment.
The song can be interpreted as a commentary on the inner-city gun violence and the lack of resources available to combat it in Memphis.
