Next level lyrical insight is a moment away.
Lyrical Analysis of...
Word Manipulation
- made this beat from nothing: scratch to song
- play the track, then I start having thoughts
- thousand rhymes and bars I have to jot
- rock it when the beat drops, blasting off
- opportunities aint have to knock
- shake the room, expect the aftershock
- wrote the first word, now I cannot stopĀ
- see to believe, have to watch
- [I sent myself on a road to the peak, a mountain to summit]('I sent' and 'a road' ='ascent' and 'erode', tying into the 'mountain' and 'peak')
- [feet inching closer, progress made in small amounts, then I sum it](feet and inching =measurements, and you add inches to make feet)
- [I chase the beat and get caught up, you think I'm out, nah kids, I'm it](chase and caught are tag related words, and in tag, a person can be out or it.)
- [even before I spoke a word, I was amounting to something](homophone ish rhyme: 'a mountain' ='amounts then' ='amounting' and 'summit' ='sum it' ='something')
- [knew tons before I sucked on a pacifier]('I suck '='Isaac', 'knew ton '=Newton ==>Isaac Newton bar)
- [grew up as a bright son, I been passing fire](homophone rhyme; 'bright son' ='bright sun' =fireball)
- spew stuff for the writeup, but there's too much that I
- [might cut, while you fools suck, ain't no light up, y'all are past the fire]('light up' refers to a lightbulb, a symbol for ideas, and fire being an actual source of light.)
- [coordinated like an x and y](coordinate pairs in math are denoted as x,y in parenthesis)
- [keep it 100 like it's ten ten times](10 ten times, or 10 times 10, is 100.)
- came from the best city, yes I meant NY
- if you ain't the who, what, where, when, and why,
- [don't question the Ws, bless you, but if you,](the famous 5 'w' words in the line before deal with questions, but also questioning the wins/Ws)
- [test me, I guess, looks like you didn't study, you](test me =challenge me, and students study for tests.)
- [guess and check while I'm pennin' checks,](guess and check is also a common test taking strategy for ppl who didn't study)
- expect no less from what I do
- stick to my strengths in lyrics with
- strict rules that I made to split in bits
- lift roofs, cause my ceiling aint exist
- [pit crew, one man band, well listen, it's](band in musical theater is normally in a pit, and me being the behind the scenes ,like a pit crew in a race, also gives the 'one man band' meaning. might be a stretch idk)
- [in tune with the music and instruments](ties to the 'band' line said earlier)
- [big news, don't know what the issue is](double meaning on issue: problem and issue of a newspaper)
- [R.I.P. through, tear the beat, I'm killing it](rip and tear are synonyms, and the spelling, R.I.P., is related to death and killing)
- it's true, I'm a lil' ridiculous
- //beat switch //
- switch moods, but the flow continuous
- [been smooth, and the rhymes are infinite](the beginning of a calculus scheme: a continuous function can also be described as smooth, and calculus is largely based on the infinite.)
- [spit new, not a bit derivative](calculus scheme: derivative can mean to be based off of something and also the slope of a line tangent to a function's graph.)
- [wit huge, and the words are limitless](calculus scheme: limits are another topic big in calculus)
- swift moves with the pen, I'm quick with it
- lit fuse, in a matter of minutes, it's
- click, boom, poppin' off in the mix
- since whom has there been a sicker kid?
- [turn rhyme schemes into great songs](more calculus: 'into great' ='integrate', which is not only how you use a rhyme scheme in a song, i.e. integrate it, but also how you find the area bounded by a curve in calc.)
- blow up after I take off
- [with each challenger that I face off](Blow up means to become more recognized, but also, the Challenger was a NASA space project that blew up in space.)
- [verses solid like a great rock]('Verses' sounds like 'versus', which is a word related to having a face off. Also, Dwayne 'the Rock' Johnson also was on Tech N9ne's 'Face Off')
- the way I write's like a grenade, got
- [a pen to pull if he attempt to play god]('Pen to pull' sounds like 'pin to pull', similar to how a grenade goes off. In addition, 1 Samuel 2:2 says 'There is no rock like our God', connecting the 'great rock' and 'play god' line. Finally, 'pull if he a 'sounds like 'Polyphia', a prog rock band with 'Playing God' being one of their well known songs.)
- [I mean, the audacity to this anomaly,]('The Audacity' is an Anomalie/anomaly beat turned into a Polyphia track, playing off of the previous line.)
- is, just actually, beyond belief
- [you ain't a G.O.A.T., all you know is a half assed bleat]('G.O.A.T.' is another Polyphia song, playing off of the previous line. 'G.O.A.T.' also means greatest of all time, but also the animal that goes bleat.)
- [don't steal lines like a railroad, been trained to](Railroads are literally 'steel/steal lines' that trains go on. Train also means to prepare in this sense.)
- [keep going, no stop in my tracks]('Stop in my tracks' means to literally stop progress. However, 'tracks' has a double meaning due to the setup in the previous line about trains, i.e., 'train tracks'. Finally, there's a third meaning on 'tracks', meaning tracks of the album.)
- lemme make it clear if you thought I asked
- [I'ma last longtime, you're a longtime last](Flipping the words in 'last longtime' to 'longtime last' flips the meaning too from enduring throughout to being in last place throughout.)
- [don't get it reversed](playing off of the 'last longtime' and 'longtime last' literally reversing the words.)
- [no seconds, I'm in it, I'm coming for first]('Seconds' refers to second place and the unit of time. Similarly, 'I'm in it' can also be heard as 'minute', a longer unit of time.)
- [with every hour I spent on verse]('hour' continues the scheme)
- [leaving 'em drunk, dazed, and confused]('Dazed and Confused' is a 1990s movie where highschoolers get drunk, and 'dazed' ='days' +d)
- [you weaklings are stunned, tasing you fools]('weak' in weaklings ='week'; double meaning on stunned: stun with a taser and leaving one shocked.)
- [spring into gear like it's April to June](most of the days in spring lie from April to June, and spring into gear means to get going on something. Also, this bar references months, though not directly stated.)
- [and I ring in the ear once the playoff was through]('the ear' ='the year', completing the time scheme)
