CAS is a drug dealer as he has mentioned in many songs before. If anyone wishes to work for him, selling his drugs, all they have to do if pick up the phone and make a call to him.

This line is also a direct quote from his song “Cheese Slice” where he says “You want work pick up your receiver. dial my number, i’ll come see ya”

This is one of the first poems Heaney wrote, on the subject of relationships and how to sustain their strength. It is an extended metaphor in which a house — the marriage — must be strong and solid. The scaffolding is the means by which support can be provided and repairs made, so that temporary crises and breakdowns can be overcome and the marriage can survive. It is addressed to Marie Devlin who became Heaney’s wife the following year.

The poem is interesting in its craftsmanship, but also its naivety and innocence — something Heaney himself later criticised in his poem Album, a more mature work. But it shows the potential, the seeds from which the skilled poet grew.

Structure
The poem comprises five two-lined stanzas or rhyming couplets. The rhythm is uneven to match the awkwardness of the subject; the ups and downs of a couple’s life.

Language and Imagery
The voice is that of the poet using the first person plural “we”. The tone is somewhat schoolmaster-ish, even sermon-like, understated yet loving.

The dominant imagery is that of the building and scaffolding, beginning with the masons starting on the building and ending with the solid wall that stands well when the scaffolding falls.

People hate on Dirty’s music, he finds it funny because they act like he can’t rap but in fact, it’s the opposite; Dirty’s lines are so good that they’re worth quoting. For example, in 47 Goonz he says:

I’m sick with the ink like infected tattoos

From this song alone it ain’t hard to tell Nas is intelligent; he’s a lyrical genius. Anyone can see that.

When he comes across a rapper that he considers to be ‘whack’, he can’t help lyrically attack them. When he does, he appears crazy as maniacs are the type of people to attack a random person.

Anyone that battles Nas may as well fall asleep on a train track because either way they’re going to end up dead. Nas metaphorically murders people in battles.
