"It's the year of the orphanSeated adjacent to the fireflies circling the torches on your porchesTrying to guard the fortress of a king they've never seen or metBut all are trained to murder at the first sign of a threat."

White kids going bananas about rap and hip hop like anyone born 98 and on invented the genre. Learn to love for the sake of humanity not hate for the sake of YouTube videos.

"It's the year of the orphan seated adjacent to the fireflies circling the torches on your porches..." makes me think of Kafka. I feel like I'm always comparing his lyrics to literary titans, Joyce, Beckett. That second verse blows my mind every time I hear it.

I just graduated college and I'm already terrified of the soul-sucking grind. I work retail right now, which sucks, but at least it's not so predictable.

+formaldehyde83 I know this comment is from a couple years ago, but just thought I'd point this out. Listen closer on "shutter bug"/"utter thug". Aesop doesn't pronounce the s-h consonant blend and you can clearly hear a t-h consonant blend being pronounced. He's saying "utter thug", for sure.

Dot the i's, cross the t's, focus on process over product, be forever concerned with what someone said rather than considering the larger meaning. Process won't lead you to the promise land, you've gotta throw some action down for that to happen. So go head an hump the leg of the creator, be the best watchdog you can be but I guarantee the man who wrote it, then said it is shaking his head in disgust.

It's not about hearing perfect, he took the lyric book and wrote 'em down here. P.S.:This isn't meant as offense or anything else, I won't discuss on that and so should you. You should simply listen to that awesome song, so should I and so will I do now. Peace
