Not Afraid lyric question

Postby Dr.Lecter » Apr 30th, '10, 05:35

You said you was king, you lied through your teeth
For that fuck your feelings, instead of getting crowned you're getting capped

Lied through TEETH
Feelings/fillings
CROWN = a dental procedure
CROWN = a symbol of royalty
CAPPED = capping, a lesser dental procedure
CAPPED = i.e. had a cap put on, as in his legacy being ended

It's an allusion to King Mathers.
