"If Young Metro don't trust you I'm gon shoot you" has gone from a tag to a meme to a political statement.

Most first heard it on the Drake/Future track 'Jumpman', and it reached a critical mass when Kanye West stuck it on 'Father Stretch My Hands Pt. 1'.

Boomin' also broke down 'Ye's interest in the line.
