Double entendre time! When Craig talks about “brothers in cells like Splinter”, it’s not only because his friends are locked up behind prison cell bars, but also because:
- One (1), a reference to the stealth shooter videogame franchise Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell;
- Two (2), a reference to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles character known as Master Splinter;
When he mentions “four in the ground”, talking about his friends that passed away, the number also matches with the same exact number of the four brothers of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Perhaps an interesting fact to note is that the issue #34 of the Tales of the TMNT comic book is also entitled Splinter Cell, and that, since Splinter is a rat that lives in the sewer, there’s a lot of pipe bars (like prison cells bars) scattered throughout the environment. Would this be considered a triple entendre?

Double entendre time! Eddy talks about being at BlizzardCon – although the correct name is BlizzCon – an anual gaming convention that is held by Blizzard Entertainment. Do you guys not have phones? His wordplay is talking about:
- One (1), a reference to a Trapper in the videogame World of Warcraft, a Hunter that specializes in the uses of traps, also known as a Survival Hunter;
- Two (2), a reference to trapping in real life, a slang often used in Hip Hop when talking about drug dealing, hustling, grinding, or simply making money in general.

Questionavél e intrigante/ – Questionable and intriguing/
Insuportável ir avante/ – Unbearable to go forward/
If somebody think that they are better than you, that’s truly questionable. Some people will ever consider it intruiguing! Either way, we all should be aware that people like that are everywhere in this big world. Even though sometimes it may look like it is unbearable to keep going forward!
Se alguém acredita que é melhor que você, isso é realmente questionável. Algumas pessoas vão até considerar isso intrigante! De qualquer maneira, todos nós deveríamos estar alertas que pessoas como essas estão em qualquer lugar do mundo. Mesmo que algumas vezes pareça ser impossível seguir adiante!
Se clamando o teu espaço tem quem se ache o Picasso/ Jay Nensei – Verdade Inconveniente
Te chamando, intimando, falando de tudo que faço/ – Calling for you, intimidating, talking about what you do/
Se clamando o teu espaço tem quem se ache o Picasso/ – And when you’re claiming your stuff, someone think that they’re Picasso/
People will always judge, criticize and comment on anything you do – it doesn’t matter what or how you do it – someone will always have something to say, maybe they think they are better, maybe they will even think they are like Picasso!
We have Jay Z, who wants Picasso’s art in his crib, and Machine Gun Kelly, who thinks he is badass like Picasso. Funny shit, no shit!
As pessoas sempre vão julgar, criticar e comentar em qualquer coisa que você faça – não importa o que ou como você faça – alguém sempre vai ter algo para falar, talvez eles acreditam que são melhores, talvez até pensem que são como o Picasso!
Tem o Jay Z, que quer Picasso na sua casa, e Machine Gun Kelly, que acha que ele é foda feito o Picasso. Fala sério, na moral!
Aquilo que é perigoso acaba te convidando/ Jay Nensei – Verdade Inconveniente
Porque passo duvidando daquilo que é duvidoso/ – Because I still doubt from what is doubtful/
Aquilo que é perigoso acaba te convidando/ – Things that are dangerous ends up inviting you/
Don’t believe in everything you are told. We all been through this kind of situation – when one person tell you something and you have no doubt about it – you can just tell that person is talking bullsh*t. Lies are everywhere, and the worst is that sometimes the worst kind of stuff attracts you. Have you never been into one thing that you knew would end up making you feel bad?
Não acredite em tudo aquilo que lhe é contado. Todos nós já passamos por esse tipo de situação – quando uma pessoa te fala algo e você não tem dúvidas – você sabe que aquilo é pura merd*. Mentiras estão em todos lugares, e o pior é que algumas vezes o perigoso te convida. Você já se sentiu atraído por algo que você sabia que iria te fazer mal?
No caso, não caço/ – In this case, don’t chase/
Desconfio de cada abraço/ – Distrust every hug/
With so many f*cked up stuff that we see daily, why do we even bother going after people and going after our dreams? We’re trying to chase our dreams and do what’s best for us. But what about the people who get involved with us in the middle of our journey? Don’t chase them, don’t trust their hugs. Everything in this planet can be misleading.
Com tantas coisas erradas que a gente vê diariamente, por que é que nós nos incomodamos indo atrás de pessoas e de nossos sonhos? Estamos tentando alcançar nossos sonhos e tentamos fazer o que é melhor para nós. Mas e quanto as pessoas com quem nos envolvemos no meio da nossa jornada? Não persiga elas, não confie em seus abraços. Tudo nesse planeta pode estar nos enganando.
