LOL that's what he's saying. I'mma take another listen then report back here lol. You didnt give me the full track either..It cuts off during 3rd verse
Hahaha.
Really ? OK I'll have a look again.
This first verse is crazy, I'mma need you to break it down, I can only catch parts here and there, he is going off in here...
I can't find the full track ?!?!?!?
What you need help with Hollow ?
The whole verse ?
The first verse..lol i catch it and then it drops
Ok here we go :
"The Red Sox traded Babe Ruth to the Yankees
An ant swimming in orange juice, I'm loose"
We've done this part.
"Diabolical, the skeleton makes green
Bio-freak out of cell eighteen escape clean"
Hahaha this is sickness...I think hes reffering to Network 18/Cell 18
It says that Cell 18 a branch of Network 18...
But broke off and is focussing on "Providing Services Outside Of Group Properties"
I'd say he could be reffering to his style switch and focussing on his own material
Rather than just souly work for the Wu as a Killa-Bee.
[You should peep "God Be With You" I think he does a similar thing with his first verse]
"An old jagged fence where you hang your clothes to dry
Shake the apple tree where the burial grounds fly"
Things that aren't meant to be there...Also could be reffering to being inpatient
Waiting for your clothes to dry and shaking an apple tree, to get what you want faster.
"Never un-clever, smoke goes up the chimney
Keep a clenched fist for funny niggas that envy"
Yeah !!!!
Obviously smole rises and man has created a device for it to travel = clever
And all these people who chat shit about him and envy his skill/originality
Like he said on the worst :
"The Distance Between The Head And Heart Is Eighteen Inches
Your Lyrics Unveil Nothing To Anyone You Hating Bitches"
"Flick my cigarette in the dirt after I curse
Stagger through the street's the worse from the hearse"
After flicking his cigarette, he staggers through the streets like a zombie
Once he has left the hearse, immortal.
"Three revolvers, a strike down at the steel mill
Soon comes today spread out because I will kill"
3 men on strike at the steel mill will kill unhappy at their pay
Even warning you to get out the way "Spread Out"
"Paint the cupboard red, my thoughts from above the sky
Follow the shadow of a butterfly while others die"
This is tricky...
I think he's simply saying you can't understand this one
Because my thoughts are of the most high.
The shadow of a butterfly I belive is in refference to being unaware of your surrondings
Like a child walking through a war and not getting hurt...
Only concerned with following the butterfly, again in his own world.
"Grandfather song skipped to my loo
The oil station man, sick like the flu"
Hahahaha..."Skip To My Loo"
I'm sure you've heard this old song..."Grandfather Song"
Then mentions a sick oil station man...this could be a deep meaning as in :
Oil is worth money but it comes at a price...your health
Reminds me of when U-God says : "Now Is It Worth Your Career ?" on "Diesel"
But I thnik he's just saying how sick that song is :
http://kids.niehs.nih.gov/lyrics/skipto.htm
See any similarities ?
"Guns are his favourite, meet Skeleton Lowe
Wind in the trees, MC's corrode"
Edward Lowe as a brutal and sadistic pirate hence the skeleton reffrence.
Then just saying these so-called Emcees just corride in the wind
"The diabolical Warcloud strikes again
Once known as Holocaust who slaughtered men"
Self explanatory

Hope this helped Hollow.
LOL That was a pretty good break down, I can see some spots I've missed. The "Follow the shadow of a butterfly while others die" was pretty dope.

whers they won't let me rep u anymore but that lyrical breakdown is awesome..
Thanks silencer.
At least Hollow is willing to try to understand it.
I still find it amazing how he can rap in so many voices and styles
"An Instrument Of Emcees"
