Lyrical Analysis of...
Apology
- Apology: noun; 1. a regretful acknowledgement of an offense or failure.
- 2. a reasoned argument or writing in justification of something,
- typically a theory or a religious doctrine.
- Why do you listen to that? How are you still breathing?
- Why do you listen to rap? I guess you’re just a heathen.
- Guess you’re a literal liberal who is liberating lesbians
- and swimming in the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah.
- Moray eels are more moral than you
- because they can’t hear the ditties of the devil you’ve been delving into. True
- Christians criticize you and cross you from their party list.
- Listen to more of it at this rate
- and no body be surprised when we discover you’re apostate.
- Close your eyes, cross yourself.
- We have to save your soul’s life so hurry,
- toss your dice, close your ears avert your eyes and apologize.
- They’re calling for my apology,
- worried for my soul and worry I’ll be burning like a piece of coal.
- Cold turkey on my music is what they want from me.
- I refuse. I’ll take their cues, going to light the fuse and blow their minds.
- I truly do believe but here’s my fierce Apology.
- Free verse and formulated syncopation don’t equate to sodomy and fornication.
- Footloose and fancy free simply finds me outside the range of inculcation.
- Doctrine dots my dome like classical art defines Rome.
- But the Romans have more at home than tomes of Michelangelo
- and have CDs instead of stanzas by Da Vinci.
- My Bible is vital to my vision but scripting a title takes more than one page
- and writing the words of a life takes more than the words of one man.
- It takes learning. It takes observing.
- Swerving away from poets who don’t profess the same projections for salvation
- you do is as harmful as someone who starts curving downwards
- towards some voodoo.
- Life’s not like logic or Sudoku.
- I don’t claim to know every answer though it seems that you do.
- Poo poo my new crew, sue my dudes who drew true views
- and could school you, black and blue, stomp you like an emu.
- Move away from the safe.
- We’ll be taking the money and running to the chapel replacing the organ,
- faith and freedom coursing through our organs,
- support each other all the way.
- Waiting for you to join us as we break into a chorus
- like our father’s did before us.
- We’re not about losing our traditions
- we just take some new positions
- and you’re stumbling through transitions
- maybe something was lost in the NIV translation.
- I’m still counting on salvation from the Cross
- and bringing beats because B n E’s a boss.
- Because Watsky isn’t someone I can toss.
- Because the Wu tang Clan scanned the land
- and banded and landed together and we’ll raise the W forever.
- Because Mac Lethal is a beast and because Tech n9ne, he is a feast.
- Because E Dubble, Logic, Hoodie Allen, Classified
- are unified in untouchable eloquence.
- Because K Lamar is seated in unbeatable eminence.
- Eminem and anyone else I failed to mention.
- All of these are worth my attention.
- I’m a Christian and my mouth and lips are christened
- with a water that will glisten long enough for someone else to listen
- and I believe I have a mission
- made to minister to many who’ve been micromanaged.
- I want to ease their pain and bandage up their damages
- and save them from the sickle swinging savages.
- Wrap their wrists so they can right the wrongs,
- Give the sorrowful sinners new songs
- Provide the prodigal sons and daughters new hymns
- And they can revenge the foes who ravaged them.
