Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, was known as “The Great Emancipator” for passing the Emancipation Proclamation Act, which freed all slaves in states that were in rebellion. He was a supporter of the 13th Amendment which abolished slavery throughout the United States. He served from March 1861 until his assassination in April 1865.

Abe Lincoln Quote:

This is a world of compensations; and he who would be no slave, must consent to have no slave. Those who deny freedom to others, deserve it not for themselves; and, under a just God, can not long retain it.

And it takes everything to face it

Wrekonize has met a woman with a rough past that she is not proud of, but she swore to Wrek that it does not bother her and she has moved on…

She had skin that she swore to me just wouldn’t scar
said she was fly like care free

So Wrekonize hooked up with her…

And So I told her we should link it up like sharebee

But she was lying and Wrek knew it. His curiosity had won over him and he had to know what she was hiding from her past…

I knew that she was lying
And Underneath it all I was dying to see just what she was hiding

A nod to the christian bible story of David and Goliath found in 1 Samuel, chapter 17.

The Story Goes…

The Philistine army had gathered for war against Israel. Goliath, a Philistine giant measuring over nine feet tall wearing full armor came out each day for forty days, mocking and challenging the Israelites to fight. Everyone but a young teenager named David was scared. David confronted the giant with only a rock, sling shot, and trust in his lord. He killed Goliath with one rock to the head.

According to Crook, they are acting big, bold, and cocky and aren’t paying attention to the small stuff that will bite you in the ass.

Double Entendre

  • Wrekonize is so high from all the drugs that he can’t feel his body–lighter than a feather–which gives him the sensation that he is floating above the roof tops.

  • This may be a reference to his earlier three mixtapes The Waiting Room, Elevator Music, and The Rooftop which symbolize his progression to the top of the Rap Game. He started at the bottom(Waiting Room), and eventually made it to the top of the game(Rooftop). Now due to his skills(cause Im clever) he is above the rest of the rap game(Flying over rooftops).

The Waiting Room

Elevator Music

The Rooftop

They use pain to make their music. Wrekonize talks about this idea in his song “Pain” which features Blueprint, on his The Rooftops Mixtape

There has been a repeated theme in Believers where Wrekonize and Bernz are so high that they are floating in the sky. For example the song ‘HighRide’.

Rather hit the earth and bounce my ass right back up to the moon

Bernz admits that he is constantly getting high. As soon as he starts to lose his buzz and float back down to Earth, he takes another hit of weed.
