Psyche is Greek for soul and in modern usage, it’s seen as the intangible totality of one’s self. Shang Tsung is a character/villain from Mortal Kombat that can shapeshift into his enemies and take their moves and shit. He can also take some of your health and use it to regenerate some of his, so fuck that nigga.

Cassie is a character on Skins that has a lot (emphasis on a lot) of emotional problems and does tons of drugs.

The second verse plays off of Lorde saying, “Let me live that fantasy,” so this one is more of a deconstruction; instead of wanting to avoid that “love affair,” it’s motivation.

In slavery times, salves weren’t allowed to read or write and although free persons of colors had lifted restrictions, it was hard to become one. Some say that the lack of english/writing skills carried on, hence ebonics and why it’s not rare for a black person to be told they’re “surprisingly well spoken.” Ironically, our supposed downfall has led the way to several successful black people who have popped a wheelie on the zeitgeist.

…isn’t real. Sadly, while we do live in the land of virtually unlimited opportunity, the means of reaching them are substantially harder or damn near impossible for certain people.

The American Dream. The land of opportunity where anyone can come and make something of themselves…

One of my favorite lines actually. After not being cool/successful enough to be recognized for his skills, his actions led to him being immortalized. Something that happens quite often with school shooters, mainly Columbine.

Stop teasin' a nigga if you’re not ‘bout that life.
