The lyrics on this track really have a poignant message, I feel like we are all guilty bystanders in the topic. Just listen to the lyrics and see if you can call yourself innocent of all the substances they mention. Almost none of us use/abuse all of the things they rap about, but everyone has a hand in the cookie jar that they describe. You understand, they are talking about YOU. Stop and think about it, a little bothersome how invasive the topic is. Good HH track that makes you stop and think.

I don’t want to give it all away, don’t want to be too specific, I want you to listen and think for yourself because I think that’s the tracks best feature.

This track is fairly unique among rap tunes, the callback vocals and the guitar tracks ring like “world”, reminds me of reggae music, they bring some other genres into the act.

Also the hook has a perfect down-on-it stress to it. The vox are all up front and clear. Very accessible and listenable stuff.

But uh.. I think these guys need and mature audiences warning…just to be official.

Maybe abrasive, maybe the track is shocking, bothersome, boisterous, but they wanted it that way. The message they bear is not something you would politely mention to someone, it’s something that has to be shouted.

So you’re stuck in your car behind somebody with no clue. Let’s say they are talking on the cell phone and you are stuck waiting to pass around them. They are oblivious that your car is waiting. So you have a few choices.

a. Get out of your car and walk up to them and quietly and calmly alert them to the situation, ask them nicely to move.
b. You stick your head out the window, honk the horn and yell, “Hey move it a**hole!

They chose option #2. But that fits and I like it that way. The style of delivery fits the story. It is just restrained to enough to stay in control, but unrestricted enough to have free speech with a punch.

It’s to move you to think about it. The song is a strong commentary about US. What we accept as normal, what we don’t stop to think about anymore. Well, maybe they’re right, you should stop and think about it.
