@@KingAhmadTv this song mad deep. It's about gentrification and police brutality and just life as an African in America. Yo, on The Amen, corner I stood lookin' at my former hood Felt the spirit in the wind, knew my friend was gone for good Threw dirt on the casket, the hurt, I couldn't mask it Mixin' down emotions, struggle I hadn't mastered This is about Gentrification not a dead homie. As he says goodbye to his hood, and the spirit of the black community dies. So much on my mind, I just can't recline Blastin' holes in the night till she bled sunshine Breathe in, inhale vapors from bright stars that shine Breathe out, weed smoke retrace the skyline This is about gun violence, hence the fact that he's "blasting holes in the night til she bled sunshine". Meaning that there is gunshots til dawn. But it also means his eyes are wide open in the dark, as their eyes create holes in the dark, until night, also meaning he can't sleep or "recline". This song is deep asf and I've heard it like 100 times by now just finding this out today. Keep doing what u doing bro

Growing up in the 90s as a teen, this was fun to watch. 90's rap was truly the golden age. 90's New York is on another level by itself. The style, the clothing. Lyrics are the most important to me next to the beat. Like, the lyrics have to be strong enough to be read on stage in a slam poetry setting and still stand up. There's not much poetry in today's rap let alone a centralize message.

Talib verse has so much reality that they cut the last bars out on KZitem "For trees to grow in Brooklyn, seeds need to be planted, I'm askin' if y'all feel me and the crowd left me stranded, My blood pressure boiled and rose, 'Cause New York niggas actin' spoiled at shows, To the winners the spoils go, I take the L, transfer to the 2 head to the gates, New York life type trife, the Roman Empire state"🎤🔥🔥

“can’t tell between the cops and the robbers”. a very poignant statement. it’s a reference to the life of a normal black man in a big city. at this time of the song’s release the nypd employed a policy of stop and frisk. where they would roll up on a civilian and pat him down and run his pockets. most people couldn’t tell if they were being robbed or arrested at first.
