While raised Jewish, Mac says he was never really religious but still he feels like the scriptures are more than just fairytales, but actually have a deeper meaning that can apply to his life.

He’s rapped about his faith before and how meaningful it is to him:

Letters from my soul
Scriptures from the Torah
Only give you what you like
I’m a station on Pandora

Twelvyy comments on how nowadays with easy access to legislation and legal rights, individuals can use their legal knowledge (‘bunch of books’) in order to take advantage of legal loopholes and flout the law with relative impunity.

Most notably, the infamous Trayvon Martin shooting highlighted Florida’s controversial Stand-your-ground legislation, which, despite much furore, seems to be as popular as ever.

More recently, young gang members in London have been using a legal loophole regarding Antique guns to carry around weapons without fear of prosecution.

We are finding criminals with a knowledge of the law. They recognise that they can carry these weapons with little or no risk of jail.


One gang squad detective in the capital said a boy aged 17 quoted the Firearms Act to officers when he was stopped with a historical gun in east London.

Essentially, they are telling the law to suck it.

A reference to the earlier drone line. The American government is currently negotiating plans to retain a presence in Afghanistan until 2024, despite the war being strongly opposed by the public.

Pharrell is speaking his mind, urging people to make love not war, and ultimately stay happy.

We hear ya, P.

A comment on the very current and controversial practice by the US army and other armed forces of using aerial drones to carry out strikes on military targets overseas.

While this tactic should be more strongly criticised/discussed, P reflects on the fact everybody is too busy smoking weed to notice what’s actually going on abroad.

This problem is only likely to get worse, considering the current legalisation trend taking hold.

Ominous.

Also this relates to the past few lines. There’s an “eye in the sky” that is watching you dope dealers who are splashing out on women and cars even though it doesn’t add up with your stated salary.

So if you want the feds to stop watching you then let go of the luxury items

Alluding to the oft-used phrase when the stars align, Future is imagining the girl as the Sun, surrounded by other smaller stars.

He then ties this in with the imagery of a red carpet event, where lots of stars are present, including his main squeeze, who will steal the show

I’m a bring out that one, she so sophisticated

Damn, Fuch! You can bring it when you want to!

Mac has often made references to the fact that he’s lost his mind

I ain’t normal, I’m clinically insane
I guess it’s the result of drugs that enterin' my brain

This will often be attributed to his experiments with drugs that have messed him up psychologically and otherwise.

I’m a crazy little fucker, think my head done ran away
I experiment with drugs but I won’t ever fuck with yay

More recently, he’s commented on certain issues that have been created in his life as a direct result of his experimenting.

Dealing with these demons, feel the pressure, find the perfect style
Making sure my mom and dad are still somewhat in love
All these backfires of my experiments with drugs

Here, it seems that Mac has finally found some sort of peace, attributed to the girl’s beauty, but more than that, the emotional support and love that she brings him.
