Need a an English PhD, Philosophy PhD, Business PhD, Political PhD and a lifetime of history education to decipher everything this man said. Impeccable. Rap of the absolute highest order. Locksmith is a lyrical deity.

[@nawdude4292]

Bruh none of it is that deep... That's taking nothing away from Lock, he's sick for sure. But rap is so dumb that this seems like something you "need a PhD to understand". Challenge yourself and you'll see this for what it really is
