nah the first time I heard it I knew it was "nothing" because of the next line

I immediately thought of when method man actually coughed on the mic instead of saying cough, which was the rhyme

what I DIDNT peep, was how the alternate words that fit the line ALL made sense on their own

I just ran with nothing and thought blanking it was super clever

just didnt get the layers

what you mean?

I cant really say anything about it thats not in the video

i dont find any huge overall meaning for that set of bars, just some amazing wordplay

he gave you a portrait thats "right" no matter what angle you look at it.....a puzzle where any piece fits

its like a lyrical stunt to me.....im so cold w/ this shit and having so much fun right now, ima just give ya'll a blank and let you rhyme it how u want....and its DOPE either way

this guy really gets a kick out of himself

The sharpest dresser at the unheading of queens
The architecture is something you've never seen
Dream clean, that's three words at the same time
And killed three birds with the same "nothing"
And won each and every hand with the same bluffing

killed three birds with the same nothing

or even before that, three words at the same time

maybe im having a blonde moment

aight I just got into that

with a little research I found the dream clean act, which is some immigration legislation (DACA)

there's also a popular CPAP machine called a dreamclean

also, dreams about cleaning are supposed to be about getting rid of negativity in your life, old ways, bad habits, etc

3 ways that sticks (theres a dream clean face wash too, so who knows smh)

as for the birds, im still not sure but I dont think its literal.......we use that saying for everything

I can get my lotto ticket and beer at the gas station on the way home and kill two (or 3) birds w/ one stone.....you get that....

im just overthinking here, but there is a saying "Nothing is written in stone".....if you take the literal sense of that (the word nothing being actually written on a stone)....then you can very well kill 3 birds w/ the same nothing

:ohyea:




i could also take it as referring to the last line in how he brought up 3 different topics without saying much of anything

killed 3 birds w/ the same nothing.....its nothing to me, i do this shit lol......peep the way he throws that nothing out in the video

I dont know shit about poker but I would think thats some wild shit if somebody bluffs a whole game out....there's something called a triple barrel bluff too...not sure on this, again, i dont know poker....but he rarely makes lines w/ shit he's not in full understanding with....so this may be something im not catching at all
 
just cant take anything for black and white

and thats part of why i dont discuss this shit much

each thing can take so many turns down roads I dont even know anything about

if I dont fully get it, I count all the possibilities as different views the art was intended to be seen from

It was a double entendre. But it was meant for the "Divine 9" IMO.

now that i think about it, when it makes sense in the fact when he says

You were so busy just tryin' to shine
You shoulda been tryin' to save us
Stars said, "Excuse our behavior
We will be indebted to you for all of eternity
If you counseled your heart and forgave us

"stars said, "excuse our behavior"

"you were so busy just trying to shine, you should've been trying to save us"

like damn, the entertainers have realized the damage they've done to the youth and are asking for forgiveness

So that whole 4th verse is a double entendre for "stars". Smh. I just thought it was in reference to the captains of ships using the stars to navigate them in the ocean.

Shit is incredible to have so many layers.
