Paused to scratch an itch and went, down to the kitchen Earl Sweatshirt – Luper

Upon first waking up, Earl gets out of bed sand scratches- presumably his butt- before heading down for breakfast.

By saying “paused to scratch and itch”, he represents the fight he had with his mom right after he woke up in Wake Up Faggot as “pause” is another way of saying “no homo”.

Almost there, almost there, almost there
The finish line is in sight but I'm almost there
Almost there, almost there
Almost there, almost there, almost there
Even if the sun don't shine the sun don't shine
Almost Ab-Soul (Ft. BJ The Chicago Kid) – Almost There

Basically a “don’t give up hope” line. Even though you may hit a few bumps in the road, all the work you’ve already put in has gotten you this far. You’re “almost there”.

Kinda reminds you of The Princess and the Frog, huh?

I'm just saying have a
Idea of what you're accomplishing
You'll have a greater chance to accomplish it
You know a little strategy, premeditation
Wins races nine times out of ten
As if losing's ever an option Ab-Soul (Ft. BJ The Chicago Kid) – Almost There

If you think about your future more and the long term effects of your actions, you might make it “there”. Until then, you’ll always be “almost there”.

So I had to break it down:
Don't get caught up in the now
Focus on the years abroad
Cause today you're here but tommorow you could be gone
Singing the same old song
And who's the place to blame on?
Other than you Ab-Soul (Ft. BJ The Chicago Kid) – Almost There

Here Ab-Soul explains the meaning behind “longterm mentality”. If you do everything with the mentality that it will benefit you in the long run, you’ll live a better life. If you decide to live in the moment and focus on the present or the past too much, you’ll never be able to move forward in life.

Klonopin Das Racist (Ft. Keepaway) – Zoo Too

Klonopin (also known as Clonazepam) is mainly used to treat epilepsy. It is also used as a hypnotic for non-epileptics. I’m assuming Heems uses it for the latter reason..

It is also the name of one of our fellow Rap Geniuses
