      its a 3 liner about archery and the skill it takes (as a metaphorical stand in for his own lyrical and musical skill.) but not trying to impress anyone but himself.

      To add to this comment, because I completely agree, he also has this quality to him that allows you to take different things away from a track after each listen. That depth has it’s own texture, and it’s not even something you can fully appreciate on any of his songs in the first 5-10 listens.

He also has basically the same themes in his music throughout his entire career.. isolation, anxiety and depression, not really being into socializing and stuff like that.

    Aesop Rock one of the GOAT's in my mind... You perfected the Art of Audio Visual Cinema.... That's the Beauty of when you open up a CD or LP by this true Artist it is something rare and unique and makes you just want to listen to it over and over, more and more... And last but not least Blockhead killed it with that Beat... Don't need to say more bout that... If you don't recognize that,... where have you been all these years...

Not only does it reflect, accurately, the firsthand POV of the 2020 uprisings, and revolutions in general, there are a lot of bars and wordplay that're reminiscent of the late, great MF DOOM. I love everything about this song. Thank you.

As a rapper myself I try to tell other rappers they HAVE to listen and study Aes, he's just too good.
