Offset addresses his split with wife Cardi B last December on the track, “Don’t Lose Me.” In an opening monologue Offset professes an apology he had recorded a week after the split, “I apologize, you know what I’m sayin’, for breaking your heart. I’m a selfish messed up husband. I’m trying to be a better person.”
The couple is reportedly back together and reflect on their relationship in the media and mention Kim K and Kanye’s marriage in a collaborative song titled, “Clout.” “My bitch on your ass, Kim K/No disrespect/The nigga be tripping, but we love Ye.” “They usin my name for click bate,” Cardi raps.
Father of 4 begins with a spoken word by Big Rube, titled “Father of 4.” “There’s so much more to me than just a life. A son, a brother, a husband, a father, but still can go even further.” Offset comes in the track discussing his first child. “I was 17-years-old when I had you / Tryna find my soul when I had you,” Offset raps. “Jordan I’m sorry I wasn’t there for all your birthdays.” “Kalea you my first daughter / I missed the first years of your life I’m sorry / To tell you the truth I didn’t know if I was your father / To tell you the truth I don’t even know your mama.”
