During the final part of Star War Episode III: Revenge Of The Sith, Anakin believes that Padmé sided with Obi-Wan to destroy him. This perceived deception was part of what made Anakin turn into Darth Vader.

“Your lack of faith in the Force” is a quote from Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope where Darth Vader suspects that one of his soldiers doesn’t believe in the Force. Here, it relates to Jay’s self-comparison to Darth Vader.

The “I” in this statement is God, not Jay Electronica, as the following lines/ explanations should make clear.

Given the context of the song, the second chance that Jay gets from God requires him to be reborn, just as Moses was sent down the Nile river not long after being born.

This line also alludes to water’s historical representation as having healing properties (hot springs) and the power of rebirth, especially in the context of Christian baptism. Jay’s Nile is the Mississippi, since he’s from Louisiana, which explains the mention of the bayou.

Jay said a similar line in Exhibit A,

“I swam down shit’s creek and came up clean/ With a new lease on life like Andy Dufresne.”

Not having a pot to piss in (nor a window throw it out of) is an expression of one’s dire poverty.

Taken literally, Ross couldn’t piss in his crack pot, because the fiends might detect the urine’s residue and cease to buy their crack from Ross.

Implying that if a girl doesn’t find him attractive, she must be a lesbian.

Big L offered an earlier version of this line with his song, “On The Mic.”

And if a bitch don’t like me, then she must like women

Perhaps a double entendre.

On the surface, Ross is saying that white have problems with wealthy blacks, something Jay-Z has noted.

Ross is also saying that whites have a problem with blacks, more generally. Note the phrase “me and mines,” where “mines,” is the speaker’s family or kin.

Stop being a coward, or short sighted – dream big, aspire to do something great.

But, by being a visionary, formulating new things, you run the risk of being killed (getting caught in the obits). When you gain a broad audience, there are always detractors, as both Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr. can attest.

Additionally, Kweli is suggesting that dying for a cause one believes in, while tragic, creates an impact worthy of publishing in and of itself.

Produced by Just Blaze, "Exhibit C" is the sequel to Exhibit A.

Jay does the meme "what’s going on in my career right now" trope that is really popular with his peers (c.f. Drake’s "Over" and J. Cole’s "Grown Simba").

In Exhibit C, he seems to be testifying—in both the legal sense (it’s a case) and in the Black cultural sense, testifying, telling his life story.

Just from this song’s beginning ("When I was sleepin' on trains…") and its ending ("My light is brilliant"), we can see how far Jay has come.

This song is Jay Electronica chronicling his path to greatness. And this song might be essential to his greatness.

The second track on Man on the Moon II, “REVOFEV” is an anthem in which Cudi addresses the kids and tells them not to stress. The title comes from the original name of the album: Cudder: The REVolution OF EVolution.

This song is significant in regards to a larger theme of the album, which, aside from Cudi’s exploration into his own being—including lots of discussion on his cocaine addiction—pertains to pushing the envelope of creativity in commercial music. Stylistically, Cudi is respected for meshing the poetry of rap with the sounds of alternative rock successfully, and “evolution” may refer to the evolution of music, his album being a “revolution” in its anticipated trajectory.

As revolutionary as the production might sound, the beat and orchestration used is a sample from the Greek rock band 2002, the song called “O Siderenios Anthropos” (or “Ο σιδερένιος άνθρωπος”) which appeared 1975 in their album with the same name.

Not only will Jay kill you in the real world, he will commit suicide in order to kill you in hell/heaven.

This is what Joe Pesci’s character in the movie Casino is famous for; there’s a line in the movie where the narrator says that about Joe Pesci. He’s so vengeful that he (Pesci’s character) would kill you and commit suicide to kill you again.
