Lupe Fiasco - WAV Files (Lyrical Breakdown)
Просмотров 77 тыс.2 года назад
Disclaimer: video clips may not always be a direct reference (particularly the slave ship verse) but act as a visual aid. The LongChains myth is central to the theme of Drogas Wave, the 7th studio album by Lupe Fiasco. The double album (Drogas Wave) ties ideas of slavery (of the body and the mind) of ruin, resilience, redemption and resurrection - altogether in Lupe’s quintessential cryptic fas...
Lupe Fiasco - Animal Pharm (Lyrical Breakdown)
Просмотров 90 тыс.6 лет назад
I’m not equating the holocaust to today’s corporate world. Animal Pharm (like George Orwell’s Animal Farm), comments on how an authoritarian power controls its masses with language and manipulation. We are still animalistic in the way we treat each other, as we always have been. Just because we put on suits and have thumbs, don’t mean that we not dumb. Orwell’s Animal Farm is specifically about...
Lupe Fiasco - Body of Work (Lyrical Breakdown)
Просмотров 198 тыс.8 лет назад
There is too much to unpack in this song in one video. Generally: Bones are the sins. Skin covers the bones. Body is the life's work (full of bones). Anatomy is the study of the body. Therefore, If one studies this body of work, one will understand the bones (anatomy will be the death of me). A Body of Work is a cohesive collection of work by an artist, or the total output of an artist's life w...

"The future is not a straight line. It is filled with many crossroads. There must be a future that we can choose for ourselves." There is more to unpack in this song than I've done. The sources used in this video (especially the outro) are not necessarily direct references, but devices.

    There's also a motif of references to France running through the song. The chicken on the barn being a symbol of France, the salty/sel stuff, the top cat chat line but also the fact the last line of the first verse. Lupe only uses the word 'we' three times in this verse. Once in the first line. once at the halfway point and also in the last line: "cause he want what we got like yeah" where we can also be heard as "oui" like yeah. +References to ratatouille and patisserie Maybe there's more french references that I'm missing but I definitely think this thread (or yarn) is there. Is that a stretch?

    I have been trying to decipher these lyrics since this came out!!! I caught some things but this song is even deeper than I would’ve guessed! I also have my own interpretations as well, like the deceit of Poseidon apologizing and inviting the slaves to live in the ocean, knowing they’d die… almost like a deal with the devil, but that’s my own take and it is absolutely disgusting that there was a slave ship called “Jesus.” Such a slap in the face because slave owners would convince the slaves that the Bible condoned slavery when it did not but the slaves could not read or understand the language of the time so they wouldn’t have known better. Disgusting and disgraceful!!! And now look at how the Bible has been wrongly interpreted. That’s why it’s so important to read it and understand where locations of events happened within the Bible… mostly Africa and the Middle East. Europeans weren’t even mentioned until the disciples started traveling to spread the gospel and met up with people in different regions to build the Church of Antioch which was in Greece, but with the Greeks, also was a Black man named Simeon who was a part of starting the church or Antioch. All of this is in the very Bibles we have access to today. Don’t let them erase the truth

    "A word game back-up plan that could dam lakes Back up, the word-play ain't playing at the man's stakes Means I can still be the man if the dam breaks And when de-mand breaks, I'm reflectious what they can't face But peer'll still treat the mirror like a fan base" I never got this section fully until you provided the visuals. Breakdown: He's explaining how he has the power to be mainstream in the game (more body of water metaphors lol), but he's actively choosing not to and treating it like a back up plan. "The man's stakes" i believe refers to how artists can't take risks while working under labels, like how employees have to abide by a boss aka "the man". And by going around being mainstream and answering to "the man", he can last longer and still be loved while being more honest to himself and more honest about rappers and the music industry. Then he finishes this part by saying these artists will cling to the facade of having an industry-planted fanbase when they look in the mirror, as the last fan they'll have left is themselves. Lupe being factual about their inability to face this fact is why he's relating himself to the mirror as he is upfront about it. Idk if he meant to say "reflectious" bc when you replace it with "reflecting" or "a reflection of" the bar makes more sense.
