Fatherhood emerges as one of the album’s most defining threads. On “Life of the Party” he reflects, "My little one just turned four, he looks just like me / His mama pray he doesn't grow up just like me.“Curtains”Curtains", ya ce, "I hate that I hold onto trauma, twinning with the traits that I got from my father.“Baby Boy”Baby Boy" tare da gundumar East Londoner Ghetts ya ƙirƙirƙirƙirƙirƙirƙirƙirƙirƙirƙirƙirƙirƙirƙirƙirƙirƙirƙirƙirƙirƙirƙirƙirƙirƙirƙirƙirƙirƙirƙirƙirƙirƙirƙirƙirƙirƙirƙirƙirƙirƙirƙirƙirƙirƙirƙirƙirƙirƙirƙirƙirƙirƙirƙirƙirƙirƙirƙirƙirƙirƙirƙirƙirƙirƙirƙirƙirƙiri.
