      His whole verse is basically flawless.
      I learned about black history, German philosophy and early industrial 19th century America from one verse.
      _Hot boy like I'm B.G./That Fiji on me_
      _We done ducked them fed charges/Now we eating confit_
      So simple but confit _(confit de canard*, he said he DUCKED charges)_ and _le fric, c'est chic_ sows together and that is a level of brilliance I can't even explain it's like his Pound Cake verse when he was mentioned all the races and no one noticed.
      *Duck confit is probably the most iconic French dish and then he says what amounts to _money is cool_ or _having money is aristocratic_ in French. I know it's not that serious but I don't hear this type of then often. I saw this album but never listened to it.

    When I spit, the children on the mothership bow on a platform
