The lyrical content in this song cant be compared to anyything else. nothing even gets close to it. some of my favorite lines are:
--I wear my scars like the rings on a pimp... he knows his past experiences and struggles have made him who he is today and is proud of this outcome and will always keep his history as a definitive part of himself.
--I live life like the captain of a sinking ship... he has full awareness of his likely chance of failure and perhaps remorsefully makes many choices on this basis.
--before that I was just another face on the bus
tappin my foot, to the beat on the radio
dreamin 'bout the mic and the money and the ladies... he used to be just another average guy making his way through and knows what it means to dream for so much more
--discretion is the name of my cement-feathered bird... discretion means the freedom of choice or right to judge and this is the cement keeping the bird from flying. people judging him and his judgements toward others are preventing him from trully taking off.
--I'm gonna creep through the night
and put a plug in the spigot
and when the water grows
and the dam starts to overflow
I'll float atop the flood, holding on to my ugly... when shit gets tough or things (whatever it may be)start to clutch and embrace him he knows the only thing that seperates him from the rest is his ugly and god gave it to him. life isnt always easy and glamorous and without the ugly there would be no distinction or learning. id like to talk more bout this but its late and i need some shut eye. get at me. one love
