While in the streets, there are a lot of things that are bittersweet such as making money where the outcome is good but the way of doing it can be bad and painful. However, Ka is saying that even things like “Revenge” is bittersweet so it may feel pleasurable at the time but eventually, you will feel the pain that comes with revenge and you may start to regret it.

Here, Ka is assuming that everyone listening to his music knows about the struggles of both the outside world and sometimes in the home place. He assumes this because it has become a cliche to rap about struggles in life as many rappers around today talk about it hence the words he raps “You know the saga,” Like other rappers in the game, Ka struggled out on the streets but felt even more in danger when he was at home.

Ka has worked very hard to perfect his craft as a lyricist. He always focuses on every tiny detail that goes into his lyrics and every letter is placed perfectly into the song. Ka is letting his listeners know that you need to “stay sharp” in order to pick up on the messages he puts out because his lyrics are more meaningful and harder to understand than the average listener would think.

This is a reference to the author Lemony Snicket who is well known for writing a series of books called “A series of unfortunate events” which was later turned into a movie. Mick is saying that it is the bad and unfortunate things that happen in his life that actually gives him the inspiration to write and convey that feeling of misfortune to his fans.
