‘Hedges’ uses the rappers' two distinctive voices to tell the story of next door neighbors who come from opposing political worlds. Throughout the song Sage takes on the persona of an aging, xenophobic ex-military man while B speaks as an overly socially-aware paranoiac.

Sage said of the song in an article on Clash Music:

The two characters are people who don’t trust one another, keep their distance and start developing conspiracy theories about what the other one is up to, so the hedges get higher and higher as we separate ourselves more and more in these communities until we’re just living in cubicles.
