Greatest White Rapper *Poll*

Songs don't have to follow the same strict concepts, but yeah, my favourite lyrics tend to have a unified bent to them, at least building around a theme. A lot of it does come down to how much effort I'm willing to put into breaking down a song, and I have a limit before my enjoyment begins to wane. Like, I love so many parts of the Tugboat Complex pt3 on their own, but I can't for the life of me put them together in a particularly satisfying way. Or, even if I can glean a sense of the song of a whole, there's still a whole bunch of pieces that I can't do anything with.

Still, anyone who can come up with "Now I'm thinkin who am I? Jabberwocky Superfly" is a brilliant lyricist.
