In a girl’s quest for his love and acceptance, The Weeknd describes the dark, drug-induced lifestyle that she has to comply with. Getting down with him means getting down with the whole XO crew.
There are two main themes potentially covered in this track, all dependent on the interpretation of “my boys:”
“Boys” may refer to the XO crew, meaning Abel’s girl needs to gain their approval or treat them right, including possibly having a train ran on her. This is reinforced by the official audio’s theme on Abel’s Youtube channel having a picture of him with two anonymous persons.
The other possibility is “my boys” refers to Abel’s massive drug collection; she needs to engage in his drugs before she can be accepted.
Throughout the song, The Weeknd’s voice is chopped-and-screwed so as to make it sound like he’s leaning, or sped up to make it sound like he’s on coke.
