I keep thinking the same thing. I'm not a rap connoisseur, but the lyrics never seemed to need much in the way of interpretation.

And you can choose to be ignorant of that fact, but you are definitely wrong.

I could go on about this, but instead I'll give you a good example. Check out this verse by Lupe Fiasco: http://rapgenius.com/2097850

You're not proving the parent post wrong, though. For all of the lyrical embellishment and artistic license, Lupe Fiasco is simply saying is that he's a good rapper. Never mind the fact that the Bible is the most referenced piece of literature in modern history and it's a bit of a stretch to say that heroin has the opposite effects of cocaine.
