    Ganja and hess, blood bless
    Ancient tomb where centuries rest
    Raiders of the lost ark, let me hide my text
    Water clock, rolex, time for a hex
    I'm vexed, let me read my sacred text
    See who's next

    what the f*** are these lyrics I dont understand s***, please someone explain atleast a single concept on the album maybe then I can start getting it.

    This album needs to have a playthrough guide like video games

    Google is your friend. You google Ganja and Hess and the blood bless part will make sense. Otherwise the rest of it is pretty self-explanatory no?

    I would say the concepts are pretty much the same as they've ever been - black liberation, incendiary politics, historical allusions, post-colonialism. Lots of current affairs topics too like the riots and population displacement.

    You can read up on what the cover is about and that should also help.

    But yeah just google stuff when you get stuck I'd say. No shame in it. Already woods has had me reading about Jamaican maroons, Sinterklaas and Dian Fossey. The density of these works is, in part, what makes them so enjoyable right? Solving the puzzle. Its abundant replay value.

    I will admit I definitely don’t look up enough s*** woods says or his more obscure references, probably because I’m so content with his writing on its own, and the production he rhymes over tbh

    Yeah I get you. There's a balance to be struck and yeah I don't find myself really combing through a woods track line-by-line so much as just picking things up slowly over time. The music stands on its own without needing to instantly grasp everything.

    Well put. It becomes a daunting task to really research all the s***, but I feel like BRASS especially is way more demanding of the listener than woods’ other work.

    Just from a literary standpoint I get so much out of his work
