Next level lyrical insight is a moment away.
Lyrical Analysis of...
Heat Wave (Careful What You Say)
- We out here dealing with a record breakin' heat wave
- While all the kids in school hiding in they safe space
- You best rip off your lips if you want to behave
- Controversy plus humor makes you a disgrace
- Social justice don't leave much for the rest of us
- Crack a joke but they will only see the surface
- We livin' in a "How are you feeling?" circus
- Spit a mean verse and might as well be murderous
- I want to be funny and know I can't please everyone
- But who says they got monopolies on how jokes get spun
- Deaf rapper, blind batter, I might as well commit treason
- These politics got me questioning my speech and freedom
- "Careful what you say, man, don't you know that's offensive?"
- So I apologize to the all gypsies and the nuns
- Why didn't I take my time to think from their perspective?
- Just don't talk about your four fingers and leave out your thumb
- I'mma be as PC as I can, but know I still gotta be me
- And if that means chopping down your handicapped tree
- Then bring this MC an axe to slash open your wounds literally
- 'Cause the truth is thou ain't any holier than thee
