When heaven loses its job, hell wins staff. I always heard it like this and interpreted it as when someone is not walking their true, righteous path they end up working for the devil AKA hell. For example Lupe could have decided to dumb his music down and make really great catchy trap music this would have been hell "winning staff."but instead he is working "heaven's job" which is doing what he believes is right and not dumbing anything down. Hell wind staff is also really interesting because his voice is wind and his music is like casting a spell.
He mentions how came to Roxbury and the street name MLX, funny thing is on Friday Prayer, he came to our small Mosque instead of the big one on MLX street not to attract large gathering I'm assuming, so after the prayer all of guys went up to him, and all our dads are saying who is this guy lol
We need this format for Lupe's whole discography. There's so much depth and density that's so easy to miss with the man's churning splashing mind
Getting a whole new perspective on this song now
Im punching the air rn

oh shit, how was he. i know lupe is actually a really devout muslim.
Letting go of gas is farting. You can’t just show the literal picture of what he is saying…
Global warming is also a big theme in the album. So he’s also talking about fossil fuels. The great thing about Lupe is that he writes in layers
Lmk if you can make a video for me your talented
