Nigga with charisma, that would turn a dike
That's why I've had more blows than opponents
Hoes don't know how I flow Akala – Yeah Yeah Yeah

Akala can turn, or “unlesbian” a lesbian, because he has so much charisma. As a result, he gets blown (recieves oral sex) more than his rivals get beat down with physical or lyrical blows. These ‘hoes’ don’t know how good he really is.

This alliteration of plosive sounds is brilliant.

Paragon = a model of excellence (literal definition)

Paramount = supreme

Parables parachute…to Paraguay = Akala has actually been known to have global tours and was the first rapper to headline his own tour in Vietnam

If Stevie Wonder can see through your BS, you need to work on your game. Just in case you live under a rock, Steve Wonder is blind.

For some reason, almost every rapper under the sun references Stevie Wonder and his lack of sight, including Tyler, The Creator, Lil Wayne, and Mac Miller.

Perhaps it has to do with the fact that
1. His surname lends itself to wordplay
2. He is a staple, established artist within the genre, young rappers like to stir it up by poking fun at him.
3. Mocking the blind is one of the sick jokes you can’t help laughing at. The poor guy even has his own section on Sickipedia.
Thesis anyone?

Akala’s message, however semi-related to the verses, is don’t take shit from people if they’re biting off more than they can chew

At this time, Jay was analyzing the music industry and its loopholes, paying close attention and focus. The imagery of the line creates a setting where a person would see with as much clarity as they ever have in their life. Illegal drugs in your car and the police behind you while driving, particularly when you are a black male, is a recipe for disaster. With the intensity of the situation, his clarity raises because of the boost in adrenaline. This phenomenon is analyzed in Malcolm Gladwell’s Blink.

Years later, Jay would rap about this scenario once more.
