Don’t confuse “too lyrical” with you just not having much familiarity with art language and concepts to understand what he’s talking about. As someone who went to art school and who makes a living as an artist, I can confirm that almost all the terms in this song that are foreign to you are part of many artists’ vocabulary. Instead of seeing Aesop’s expansive lyricism as a negative thing, try seeing it as a chance to learn some new words and concepts. He’s a master craftsman when it comes to rap, and I’d rather hear an intelligent song with metaphors and creative multi-syllabic rhyming than hear him dumb himself down so that he is more appealing to the mainstream. He’s an acquired taste, but so is a lot of great art.

Aesop was asked in an interview how it feels to be a successful rap artist and he replied, "I'm not a successful rap artist, I'm a failed visual artist".

The dictionary reads Aesop.

I looked it up he's officially the rapper with the largest vocab. I remember at one point GZA from Wu-Tang once had it but he lost it and slid down to fourth place which is still impressive.

No disrespect or negativity here at all man but this really is one of his most easily understandable songs he’s basically talking in plain English about how he used to draw and paint and how he essentially regrets giving it up

I really want to break every single line down for you. A lot of this is referencing art material and the struggles of being an artist in an addict and a young man growing up from the perspective of the writer

It's about his regret for not having kept up with his old creative outlets. This is honestly one of his easiest songs to decipher ha.

Homesty is fine but think, don't just react man. "They can hop you down so they can count your rings." What do you chop down that has rings ???? A Tree man....a Tree !!!!!!

Just because you don't understand doesn't mean it doesn't have meaning.

Not too lyrical just too complicated for minds not willing to increase their vocuabulary.

This song is actually one of his more easy to interpret on his discography. This song is about the fact that he used to do visual arts (sketching and painting). He went to a visual arts school, but eventually had to drop out (for financial reasons I think), and eventually gave up on visual arts. This song is about the grief and regret he feels about giving up on art.

Aesop is an incredibly private person. He says he doesnt go out of his way to be complicated, however he has admitted that since he's very private, when he talks about personal issues he can hide behind his lyrics. So the more personal something is, the more complicated his lyrics can get so you dont see the full picture, but he's not talking nonsense.

I would normally not do this, but I think this song is easier than reactors give it credit for. So, while I expect others might provide more specifics, I'm going to try to explain his lyrics so that they generally make sense. Urban Experience, if you read this, I hope it helps you take it in.

I mentioned him before. He's one of the most vocabulary advanced rappers of all time.

Dude he memorized it and reorganized😂

@whoispetesake

Stenciled fire on his roommates bass. He’s painting a picture of a bass guitar that has flames painted on it. Also, the easiest line to understand “chop you don’t just to count your rings” is reference to cutting down a tree and counting the rings to see how old it is. But he says they do it just for that, no other purpose.
