His girlfriend isn’t afraid to kill herself if he dumps her or she isn’t afraid of his threats. “Push me to the edge,” is an idiom that expresses extreme frustration. He could also be urging and daring her to keep doing it. In an exclusive Genius interview, the producer of the track, TM88, confirmed that “All my friends are dead,” is referring to dead presidents, which is slang for money : Uzi raps about his friends that were killed in his hometown of north Philly in songs like “YSL” and “LUV SCARS K.o 1600.” He often claims to have no friends, due to his fame and fortune. Uzi may have drawn inspiration from punk rock band, Turbonegro’s 2005 track, “All My Friends Are Dead.” On December the 17th, Pitchfork named these lines one of the fifteen year-defining lyrics of 2017 .
