At one point in his education, Khaligraph dropped out of school for three months due to a lack of school fees.

“Me going back to school was not even necessary for me but I felt like I needed to do it because I am the fourth born in a family of six kids and I was the first to finish high school, so I feel like I had to break that generational curse and I did it,” he said in an interview.

In the song, he also makes reference to prayers made by his mother saying they held down the family after his father lost his job and was kicked out of their home.

Khaligraph’s old man would later be diagnosed with diabetes and high blood pressure and succumbed to the same.

The rapper blamed his father’s death on the lack of resources to cater for his treatment.

"I feel I am at a point where I can elaborate these matters properly for people to understand because I am a father and I have a family.

"Sometimes you have to put these stories out so that people know that you can go through situations but if you believe then you are able to overcome any situation," Khaligraph said.
