Nisho started writing in 2003 but didn’t release anything officially until The Lost Cause mixtape in 2009-2010.

Asheru is a DC born hip hop activist/teacher and rapper

Better known for rapping parts of the soundtrack to The Boondocks

Nisho doesn’t want to be handed anything as far as his creativity. He keeps writing and trying new concepts, then he knows he can make new limits to go beyond

Artist at heart = makes a better picture

Word play explaining that with Nisho being an artist, he’s starting to see things in a more beautiful, realistic light

God created each person walking this earth differently; if everyone were the same, things wouldn’t be too exciting (references back to the cubicle line)

Nisho wouldn’t be happy just sitting in an office pushing papers, rather doing what he loves (in the next line)

A lot of jobs you apply for don’t allow room to be an individual thinker, simply just a worker

Doing all of these things to apply for jobs and be prepared for the real world isn’t easy so Nisho almost gestures to intern…. well…

Nisho admits he’s a person who dreams a lot and makes those dreams happen, but looks at the reality of how a lot of people his age think and says that money is the only objective for some people

Going in the Intern(al) half, Nisho starts off the verse by saying advice his mother told him growing up saying “you choose the path you go in life, God pushes you in the right direction”
