Reminds me of the story of the Ring of Gyges. Basically a story about a shepherd coming across a ring that gave him the ability to turn invincible at will. Would you still be a just person? That’s the question. But that’s another topic of discussion. Now with the lyrics in that part of the song, I believe they want us to reflect on the potential we have as people. “Not strong, only aggressive”, etc etc. They are characteristics that would make our society better. We are the thieves…sad
The lyrics ” not good but well behaved” i think means that were not bad or good, we are well behaved because of god and enforced laws. If they werent there and we could get awau with anything we would not be well behaved
check out KRS ONE bro if you haven’t already if your a fan of that conscious shit
The most insightful hip hop track ever. This is one of handful songs that actually made me decipher every word they uttered.
Philosophers of hip hop.
One of the top three hip hop albums I’ve ever listened to. But this song probably one of my favourite sets of lyrics of any song in any genre. This song’s lyrics really enlightened and inspired me.
