    if I'm not mistaken...you dabble in certain "studies". The lyrical content seems cryptic in some ways that I don't completely understand. But certain bars and words he uses sticks out.

    im sure it is interesting for you.

    If I'm not mistaken he sampled Fela Kuti on one of the songs? I can't remember which now

    Liking this song. The hook is catchy

    ? ! That hook and them strings got me in another world. I'm floating to this ? .

    sonically 'Dots and Lines' might be the best produced track he ever rapped over.

    Haven't been this satisfied with an album in a long time.

    Liking this song. The hook is catchy

    I think this is another one of those songs that has multiple meanings. What I got from the hook so far (could be wrong) is a reference to Revelation 14 and the three angels and their message to the world before the end.

    the first mentions the "hour" of the Lords return. The second mentions "Babylons" destruction. And the third warns of the Mark of the Beast and what the true believers should do.

    this "warnings" are made right before two more angels "reap" the harvest of the wicked world.

    so they were right on time.

    he uses an analogy and a play on words.
    Three angels in kind, on time, go straight, don't sine

    go straight seems to mean stay disciplined. "Sine" in mathematics looks curved and not straight. But on a calculator, its worded as "sin"...

    "Three angels in kind, on time, go straight, don't SIN"


    It also seems to be a play on trigonometry

    Three angels is a play on angles, three angles/triangle.

    that's what I'm sayin. His wordplay is on steroids bruh. The album gets better every time I listen to it.

    Why you ready to die? You just a baby
    Why them tears up under your eyes? You just a baby
    Keep your head up in the sky, you just a baby
    Quit chasing money, never mind, you just a baby
    (These Magi adore you) x2
    Why you wanna be born again? You just a baby
    Why you playing in the streets? You just a baby

    It's also about astrology, and the stars controlling our destiny.

    This album doesn't really have a standout track to me yet. Kinda like krit's albums, where the entire thing is dope but if you're at the gym or high/? there's not really a song where you're like "yoooo I gotta bump this right now man!"

    Exactly more especially 'Chopper'



    A song you'd call "ignant" that talks about food stamps, Obamacare and social security ..
