Your thoughts?

I like it, a lot. Mostly the sounds, I don't think the lyrics are all that great.

Finally Lupe hopped on a good beat. Soundtrakk Is a good producer so I already knew the instrumental was going to be on point before even listening. He's dropped like 3 or 4 solid tracks in a row now, good reason for me to be excited for Tetseuo and Youth. Even though I'm going to have , a much required and deserved, pessimistic expectations about this album.

Okay let's decipher his lyrics, what was he saying on the song?

More of the same conscious rap without any real message - "keeping these niggas in coups".

A lot of Christ symbolism - "transfiguration," nails in palms, etc.

It's just pretty sounds man. Alliteration and stuff.
