Talking about chasing your dreams. There’s ALWAYS time to pursue your endeavors, it’s up to you to not put it off. Most people do try to wait for that perfect moment/opportunity then never end up even starting. A perfect and very simple (small scale) example of this is the New Year’s Resolution crowd. They will wait several months until the new year just to attempt to change their life. Waiting for the new year is no better than NOW.

Also, most people don’t even know how to begin to chase their dreams (vision is not so clear), they have no set plan on how to achieve.

He wants to get rid of the current system of government/establishment we have at this time.

He says they are very cynical which basically means they are only out for theirselves. Because of that, they lie to get in power then never do what they said they would in the first place (empty promises).

He starts by saying our entire system of money/economy is messed up (malfunctioned). That in turns lead to people being deeply sad (melancholy). It’s a continuous cycle too.. they stay focused on the money which leads to more sadness, then they’re focused on that, etc.

It’s the corrupt leaders that are force feeding the fear. They want to keep the masses brainwashed, confused and in general AFRAID so they can implement anything they want and are in complete control.

He basically says he started smoking marijuana at some time. Then, after doing that for some time, he started trying to rap and says the weed helps it out, and they mesh perfectly together. He’s using personification for both the music and the weed.

This implies his actual soul is out of his body and he is ascended to the 4th dimension. This is how he’s seeing all of these sublime things and experiencing epiphany.

From the earlier references to the third eye and looking into your self and now full on astral projection this could all be a subtle reference to meditation and that’s how he’s performing these actions.

Wordplay on plane though.. not just a Plane like you would say fly around, but when you visit the astrals it’s referred to as the Astral Plane.

Still going off of the beginning line here of searching for himself. The only way to truly find out who you are and all that entails is to look DEEP into your own subconcious. This isn’t a literal telescope obviously, but rather a metaphor for looking for something.

You could interpret this 3 ways as he is naming off different artists and such throughout this verse.

First, KRS had an album called The Blueprint

Then, there’s an actual artist called Blueprint he could be name dropping

Last, could be referencing Jay-Z’s Blueprint as well as he did mention him a bit earlier in the verse.

Extended metaphor here talking about the rap game. Comparing it to a deserted desert.

Illogic is walking along through the game, but is practically alone with the type of music he is putting out. He’s searching for pure hip-hop that’s not made to conform to the mainstream and sounding like the majority of rap now(the majority all sounds alike).
