Lyric discussion by AzuraAzenath 

Cover art for Grippo lyrics by Saul Williams

Anyone got something to say about "substitute the anger and oppression with guilt and depression"? I imagine it has something to do with "giving hip-hop to" people.

Would you say there's a sense of guilt that should be associated with making it big? Humility is kind of like feeling guilt over doing so much better than those who are no better than yourself. It's how I feel, anyway.

Is "a gold piece in God's purse" equivalent to religion?

Is violence meant to be a metaphor for victory's plot? Are there those who rap about violence, actually taking stock in it and giving respect to such actions? Would you feel guilt over being one of said people, once understanding and giving respect to violence as a metaphor?
