A dreamy jazz instrumental accompanies the boys' and Pouya on track 3 of their collaborative EP $outh $ide $uicide.
The song title interpolates Drake’s hit song “Know Yourself” in which Drake raps,
"I was runnin' thru the 6 with my woes" This line was subject to meme culture, and the boys' put a twist on this themselves. They replace “the 6” (from the 416 area code of Toronto, where Drake is from), and instead rep the ‘7th’, in reference to the 7th Ward of New Orleans, where the boys grew up.
A “woadie” or “woe” is a slang term derived from “wardie,” itself a reference to citizens of New Orleans, as the city is divided into several sections called Wards. In Drake’s song, he mistook to using the New Orleans' term and justified this word choice in an interview with Noisey.
