Rap lines that don't make sense/you never understood

[get these nets]

the water in the ocean takes up far far far more space than space occupied by animals
suppose it's 99% water and 1% fish or sharks or whatever
take out all the fish/etc. and you have a 1% drop in sea level, which would be kind of significant but not really

now do you really think 1% of the ocean is occupied by fish? Consider how hard is it to catch fish, consider the depth of the ocean (several kilometers in some areas)

you stupid as shyt

this is like saying you lose weight when you shave off your mustache

Again...the full context of the song....Canibus is challenging or making people think about things with more clarity
Spends the entire song calling out things people either beleive or haven't thought about

"if none of that is in your govt. name....than what do YOU own" for example

Here he's challenging the notion that the earth's surface is really 3/4 covered with water. He didn't give a number or % of what the actual number is.....just mentioned displacement of water to challenge the 3/4 perception. Displacement is about VOLUME and not weight, so your mustache/weight analogy is offbase.
And puzzling, considering that in the line above that, YOU called ME stupid.

If you removed just the earth's whales from the ocean....and remember how large the biggest whales are..would you think that there would be any effect on the shoreline?

 

[Ron Fox]

Just a slight confusion but either way, the second meaning is about moving drugs....lines before it confirm that.

here is the full context of the line

I know my English ain't as modest as you like
But come, get some, you little bums
I take the cake from under the baker's thumbs
I bake the cake, get two of them for one
Then I move the weight like I'm Oprah's son/Oprah , son
Uh, I'll show you how to do this son

So u are implying that it could be both, like a double entendre.

Now if thats the case then its a dope line. 15 year mystery solved.

I HATE to to do this to Brad Jordan, but...these lines make NO sense unless words mean different things in Houston.


Scarface(the real GOAT).....Mind Playing Tricks on Me....his second verse

Often drift when I drive/
having fatal thoughts of suicide/
bang and get it over with/
then I'm worry free but that's bullshyt/
I got a little boy to look after/
and if I die then my child will be a b*stard/


????????????????????????
=====
Also

Scarface "A Minute To Pray and a Second to Die"

He had a baby that he couldn't raise
And she will never see her father again, cause he's in a grave
Hey yo, let's think about it, nilla
"My daddy was a dopeman, so I'mma be a dope dealer" (said by his daughter)
How will the family explain it?
"My daughter had a baby for a 'caine head!"(said by his girl's father)


???????
So was the dead man a dealer or a drug user?

======

Later in the same song

He ain't around to see her walk
Dry her eyes when she cries, pick her up when she falls
Just the thought of a kid livin foul fukks me up
When his girl has to raise a b*stard child
It gets deeper, he used to punch her and beat her

????????? wtf....
b*stard means orphan in Houston??????

Jay Z uses this clever style a lot

It ain't about Rich and Po/
it's about rich and po(poor)/

Yo Razor blade toenails cut holes inside tube socks.

"Chill God, yo the Son don't chill Allah
What's today's mathematic Son? Knowledge God"

Catchy af tho

It's a play on the sun as in the star is always hot

It's a conversation back and forth.
I love this album so much.

 

[pimpineasy]

juelz " im flyer than an ostrich " but ostrich isnt fly

Seeing how his lazy ass career turned out. The god was prophetic.

 

[get these nets]

this is a straight up goof

Juvenile....chorus to Ha


You a paper chaser, you got your block on fire
Remaining a G until the moment you expire
You know what it is to make nothin' out of somethin'

?????????
That line is backward,Ha

 

[Guvnor]

Question what is Kanyes song Wolves really about?

Also why does ty dolla's line that goes "cause everybody got them they ain't children" on the song real friends seem so randomly placed. There doesn't seem to have any real meaning to that line from what I can tell lol.

 

[Guvnor]

Kanye has a line that goes "300 bytches like the Romans" on black skinhead. 300 was about the Spartans and Persians.

 

[Victorious Secret]

It's "Slim doo doo makers stuffed inside pajamas" Basically slim booties stuffed inside pajamas. The line prior to that is "Model dimes from bahamas." So he's talking about them having their butts stuffed in pajamas.


Don't finish beef(murder or otherwise) that you didn't start. Some dudes jump into another person's beef and finish it for them. If you start a beef make sure you're the one who finishes it.

But the line is in reverse. He’s not saying finish what you start...he’s saying start what you finish.

 

[Victorious Secret]

If this wasn't answered already..Canibus is challenging the notion that the earth's surface is 3/4 water......it's about the displacement of water.
remove everything out of the ocean......earth surface isn't 75% covered by water


Let's say you have a gallon container filled to top with water with 35 goldfish inside. Take out the fish, it's clear that you don't have a full gallon of water .




one of his better lines

But he’s forgetting other factors like rain, evaporation, ice caps, and river flow.

 

[shakobe]

I'm a username like who's he get it?

 

[Shadow]

But the line is in reverse. He’s not saying finish what you start...he’s saying start what you finish.

Right, don't finish another person's beef for them.

Start every beef you finish, don't jump into someone else's beef and try to finish it.

Slim doo doo makers stuffed inside pajamas - U God

My paragraph alone is worth 5 mics a 12 song LP that's 36 mics - Redman

Fixed - And i think he was just talking bout bytches asses in pajamas
