The Yes And The Y'all Lyrics

I think this song is about rapping, the music industry, and all of the bullshit that surrounds it. I'm not sure though as the song gets a bit fuzzy at times but that meaning seems to fit with most of what I can understand. It definitely matches the chorus.

Ratman has got it as far as the Muchausen. The lyrics here seem to be a bit off most of the time.

Aesop is just Jewish as I recall, but in the LSD song he references seeing "Aes with a Jigsaw face" or something similar to that. It could be a way of saying he is complex and hard to piece together (especially lyrically), or it could be a reference to the Saw movie series. I read an interview where he said a lot of his songs are just references to movies he's seen. That was from back in '01 though so things may have changed since then.

Also, I think it should read, "The Falcon hates the Mockingbird, the farmer hates the plow." I'm not positive on this one as the sound seems to get a bit lost behind the beat.
