Dave East is attempting to put all of Harlem on his back with his new mixtape Hate Me Now. In the fourth installment of our "Between the Lines" series (Tory Lanez, Hopsin, Emilio Rojas), we invite East to break down his bars from mixtape standout "Forbes List," which features a verse from his mentor Nas.

East takes us through his third verse line by line, from the story about the middle-aged crack addict who let East borrow his car if he kept him well-supplied, to his visions of a bright future -- friends in luxury cars, penthouses, generally living it up as a way to honor friends and family who passed away.
