- He was very young when these events took place
- They had a lasting impact on him
- He remembers the story’s details pretty damn well as he even remembers his approximate age.

This is restated to begin each verse to reiterated these points and to make sure that the listener truly understands why this is important.

B.E.Z will succeed against all odds and despite how others try to control him. He has the power to do anything, even end the world, due to his ambition.

The generation that he is from is often times characterized as a “fallen tribe of activists” and they always seem to be complaining about their issues rather than actually attempting to get something done.

B.E.Z has such a unique style when it comes to rapping, that he could/should patent it so that nobody can steal it. It’s so unique that you can’t even argue that it is similar to someone else’s

What makes it so unique you ask? His swagger.

Because Spose can’t sing, the label is just going to change his vocals to make it sound like he can with the popular pitch-correction tool, auto-tune.

This way it’ll sound like the music of other pop artists such as T-Pain.

Essentially, the label wants to limit Spose to a basic sound rather than allow him his creative freedom as an artist.

The label wanted a very generic pop sound, similar to that of 3oh3! who had the hit song “Don’t Trust Me”.

Because Spose is a rapper, the label compares him to two other rappers who at the time were gaining popularity for their pop-rap sound. B.o.B with “Airplanes” and Flo Rida with “Low” and “Right Round”.
