TTUIt's really not. Having read these lyrics annotated on Genius back to front it's very different from my first impressions* - me who knew Earl's upbringing told in fragments throughout his discography
Please stop trying to reduce this to simplicity - you do Earl a disservice
*this is just how poetry works. You should not try to gather meaning on your first readthrough or even your second or third
What is hard to decipher about these tracks...? They're extremely straightforward raps. If you listen to them at a surface level the point/message of the tracks are all right there easily presented to the listener
Don't be one of them Reddit nerds who be tryna reach for s*** that ain't even there. Earl himself talks about those kinda weirdos who consume his music that way and he's always confused by the s*** people come up with. Even more so with SRS and Sick where he had to come out and say "Yo I'm just about my life and family"

Like I can understand not catching it the first time hearing it. But soon as you look up the lyrics and read them, and none of that extra ass goofy annotation s*** they do on Genius, it's very easy to understand
