"Instantly, slap ya five like it's Palm Sunday"
from "Beneath the Surface"
...I'm Catholic and I don't even know what this means?!!? But I love this line and I was actually in the front row once when he was performing this song and I held my hand out when this part came on and he "slapped me five" right when he spit that line ahah
It's slap your THIGHS, didnt they slap jesus around the thigh on palm sunday?
you slap 5 on the palm of your hand
like a high 5 or what? does the priest do it, what does it involve? i just go to church and get the palm leaves ahah, i dont understand
its word play
slap you 5
Palm of the hand
thanks, that seems reasonable
Jesus Christ was highly praised on Palm Sunday, and within a few days, was betrayed to be crucified. When you're on top in the music industry, everyone will give you "high 5" and treat you as a king. It will quickly change.
MCs must ask themselves (from the chorus)...
Scratch underneath the surface, where does your purpose lie?
wow... that wordplay is genius
The whole fuckin cd is dope as fuck ! WORD
On a man-made lake, there's a sheet of thin ice
Where unskilled skaters, couldn't figure-8 twice
wtf does dat mean
gza explained this in an interview ... a figure 8 is just that - ice skaters can make this move or whatever. 8 twice = 16. he's talking about weak mc's who can't even spit a dope 16 bars .... unskilled skaters = unskilled rappers .... figure 8 twice = 16
what about the man made lake and thin sheet of ice
X-ACTLY. SPANKING THE MONKEY.Quote:
