  • @taybradley3843
    @taybradley3843 Před 4 lety +1

    It's crazy how he used dribbling as a metaphor for overthinking and self-doubt. Instead of shooting (his shot), he dribbles instead. His rhyme scheme to end the first verse is crazy. My favorite part of the song is the "shooter's shooting, I can't only dribble now"... "I've been living rental style, I think it's time to own me/" because it shows he finally figured out that he's holding himself back. He was transcending. You don't just write that without believing and feeling it. I think that resonates with a lot of artists... Self-critique eats away at a lot of people that would make it if they got out of their own way. I wonder if Marlon is upset that it took him this long to pursue his dreams or if he feels like he was right on time. Best rap song I've heard in a while. I got the same feeling when I heard War by King Los or Sing About Me by Kendrick for the first time. I really appreciate the attention to detail and effort Craft puts in his music. Playlist material for sure.
