I won a bet. The dude was broke, so only bet $20, but I bet him January, we would see a video this year, at least. >=D
Anyway,
I got to agree with the interpretation, it's like he's leaving that lifestyle behind, and that's why he's crying.
I have a feeling his next song is going to be very slow, with a "Phone Tap" type of beat or something. I just don't see him putting out 2 bangers. If he does, I dont think he will put out the Jay-Z one, he will just claimed he changed it, but not release it, with little changes done, imo.
