I think the subsequent phrase “fear no bullets, hear no music” refers to the mindlessness of other rap music out today. He’s saying that if you “fear no bullets,” you’re sheltering yourself from meaningful music. If it’s not meaningful, controversial, intelligent, etc…it really isn’t music at all, a tragedy. This interpretation is justified by the next line.

Ever heard that if you look in the mirror and say Bloody Mary 3 times (at night in the dark when you are scared shitless already ONLY) you will see “her” (Bloody Mary) in the mirror behind you.

He also drinks a lot and this could be referring to him being 3 bloody mary’s deep at a party of bar or something.

Geo wants to know when his fellow brown people are going to continue to sit back and do nothing but wallow in their lower-middle class sorrow or try to climb with the valor of the Blue Scholars and attempt to educate themselves and becomes successful.

The second part of this line refers to government taxation. Government tries to act like they are helping to make jobs for people and provide them with money to be made, but then they just go and take the money back from you in taxes.

The previous lines are clearly about the recent economic recession. He’s saying that he’s got to hold on until “they drop those curtains” meaning…the end of the show, or…the end of the economic downturn.

Also, the previous line is referring to how many people said that the recession would be brief. They said it’s a “hold up”; however, Geo believes that it’s not for certain and it could be a sign of the times (the downfall of the American superpower). He references this in a previous line when he says “to thinking this ship is not sinking.”

This is really Big Brother-ish but Geo is claiming that some of American history may have been “re-written” or edited by politicians and historians in order to brainwash the posterity into thinking the country is flawless and superior.

Not many people were literate in the early years of American history…could it really have been fabricated by the few upper class citizens who could read, write, and think?
