the double meaning the track’s title is based on.
“follow these words”, meaning take heed to the advice I give in the latter portion of the song…
and to literally “follow words” as if you were behind a car with a “vanity plate” (a license plate that spells out words/phrases rather than just having random letters/numbers).

examples:

might not wanna follow that last one tho.

if you want something (unless you’re fortunate enough to be able to buy it off the bat), bust your ass for it and it will come. if you’re lazy AND broke, staying that way ain’t gonna get it for you.
fuck “destiny”, fuck “fate”. it’s in your hands.

be cautious of whose hands you’re shaking…don’t go committing to these fools without weighing your options out.
I’ve inherited my discretion from my parents, who raised me not to be naive and too trusting. best mom and pops ever.

I do a lot of this myself, so a lot of times when I’m approached by some slimebag tryna be my “manager” or “agent” or “useless leeching tumor”, I tell them to save their empty promises.

the “planet of apes” being DA RAP GAME, meaning a lotta fools just ain’t evolving…they ain’t saying nothing new, word to The Roots.

Personally, I’ve moved beyond where they’re still stuck at musically, progressing much faster than the other contestants in the “rat race” that hip-hop has become.

if you sleep on this music, that’s just silly.
actually, it’s worse than silly, it’s a goddamn travesty. so wake up and catch up, cuz I’m keeping it moving.

when we put our heads together to make this EP, a brainstorm certainly brewed up. hope you brought a brainponcho to prepare you for it.
creatively, we’ve made metaphorical “lakes” out of “puddles”, meaning given small budgets and not much equipment we’ve managed to make some pretty damn cool art.

even after I “make it”, I’ll probably still come off cynical and jaded to a lotta people. I can live with that.

this track might sound a little angry, but if you put your all into a show and only got “SICK SET DOOD, WISH I HAD MONEY TO BUY A CD” in your ear all night after, you might be a lil pissed off too.

yeah, I mean I don’t really know how you want me to explain this. that bol better pay me or I’m definitely gonna be one motorboatin' son of a bitch
