This is Form Follows Function off his new album Food & Liquor II: The Great American Rap Album Pt.1. I did not stop working on this until it was the masterpiece the song deserved.

Thank you for Watching and Enjoy! FNF UP

I'mma just go... And then we'll figure it out from there

They say form follows function

And if you just function properly things will form themselves

Yeah, that's kind of what it is

So on that note... America's most

[Verse 1]

First off gotta send shout outs to my niggas

Then shout outs to my inner demon that be creepin' around my temple

Ready to set me off like Vivica or make me cross like a crucifix

Or the legs on a Buddhist sitter deep in thought

Thinking as deep as the sea of salt

And they sink in the same sea that we walk

Not that we Jesus, we just don't wait until it thaws

But you can hold my hand like applause, pause

With no homophobia involved

Now if I would've said that you can hold my balls like VFW Halls

That would've been the call, but naw

You can't see in ours, but we can see in yours

You can't see in ours cause ours is Kingdom Hall

Yeah, just like that, we just let it roll, you know?

Yeah, and check it, check it

[Verse 2]

So when that pond thaws and it's no longer Gretzky

That's when we jetski

I gotta catch up to myself, I kind of left me

Are the windows still blocked up? Let's see

Maybe see something we couldn't view before

Been in the stu all day cooking food for thought

Now out the soup du jour for you and yours

Might find sushi for your soul, we call that moving raw

Lions won't cross the line

Cougars won't move a paw

Chickens won't cross the road

Dogs won't roof at all

Always had flow, just added a front door, roof, and walls

Hotter than the fire that into which Koopa falls

But that's only if you super dawg

Sicker than when you use your dog to do assaults

You can never really tell just who's the fraud

Truth might still be alive like true and false

That's why I never really trust unless it's Lu endorsed

Sponsored by me and of course you know who enforced

Now that's three mis, like you warming up your vocal chords

Add a fourth if your vocals hoarse

Like Mister Ed

Get out of pocket have a horse's head in your bed

Now that's what I call a good night's rest

You know? You know, just plays like that

When you just let it flow

When you sit back and just let it go, you know?

[Verse 3]

And now my vocals warm

Add a fifth and a sixth now I'm ready to perform

The Buddhist said that I am not reformed

If I ever be reborn I keep coming back as me

Well don't forget the other five as we

Weave the most wanted Angelina Jolies

And Morgan Frees

Send it around the room like we smoking trees

But it's no purple in the circle then there ain't no rolling b's

Just spoken words, thought provoking reeds

Hydro, I'm still strolling on the seeds

Aloe, like the lotion from the leaves

And to achieve it took a lot of token like Chuck E. Cheese

All without touching weed

But I'm still hungry and I'm having lunch for three

This is my form, now what the function be

And art what I draw

And ooh, what I say like Imogen Heap

Good night niggas, go to sleep

You know? It's like form follows function

And if you function properly then

The form will come out of it

And whatever it is, it

It just be what it is, you know?

I believe the line "add a fourth if your vocal's hoarse" refers to the Four Horsemen in the book of Revelations. Deep song, and lots of religious references. One of his best lyrically ever.

The windows blocked up part is a matrix a reference because he's experiencing the déjà vu feeling of his 1st two albums and in the matrix when you experience déjà vu something has been changed in the matrix in that scene the windows were replaced with bricks... Ridiculous he said something so complicated in 2 lines

"send it round the room/scented round the room" thought provoking reads/reeds(reeds are tall grass-like plants that stick out of water) at the end "still hungry and having lunch for three" means even though he wasnt smoking weed his flow is dope enought to cause the munchies. Imogen heap sung the song "ooh what you saaaay"

ADDITIONS: LIONS=(kings of jungle/ghetto leaders), COUGARS=(older women), CHICKENS=(younger women), DOGS=(male friends or peers)

the reptilian theory also ties into not being able to tell "who the fraud" in political leadership.

CORRECTIONS: "sink in the SAME C/sea that we walk"-means they crip-walk on water where others sink in the cypt..."you cant see in ours/eyes but we can see in yalls" refers to his tendency now to wear dark shades.... and just a thought but i think maybe the "fire into which koopa falls" refers to hell awaiting reptilian oppressors- just a theory

Geoffrey Davis

CORRECTIONS....he said "truth might still be A LIE like true or false" meanin answering true might be the wrong answer if the answer is false to a true or false question.

Geoffrey Davis

CORRECTIONS... the "inner demon that be creeping round his temple" refers to issues within his religion Islam that "sets him off(detonates his temper)"-reference to suicide bombing or "makes him cross"(cross means dissatisfied but also illustrates his shame making him consider converting to Christianity).... good knights "rest"...."ya know...Displays like dat"... "WEAVE the most wanted"-this refers to controlling 'threads of fate'

A lot of these songs are from like 09-10. For example, Go To Sleep & FFF were made around the same time. I was actually watching an interview where he said this, right before I came here lol
