The Worst is a R.B.A. song that lyrically discusses Aiko falling in love with someone she shouldn't. The song was compared to Sad's work because of Aiko's use of ethereal, Japanese phrasing along with the songs passionate street rap. 3:16, it's a song that lasts for three minutes and sixteen seconds that lyrically speaks about addiction, not just drugs, addiction to everything you go to when you're in your darkest place, and I think everyone can relate to that. We've all been to hell and back and forth, and that's pretty much what 3:16 is all about: going to hell and back.
