I personally think you're reaching and that Em hasn't put deeper meaning into the lyrics of the Relapse era, it's just the serial killer vibe. Not that it aint good, cause it sounds great but i personally don't think the song is some big metaphor. I always felt that the first line tried to focus and then he just got lost in more killing stuff, lol, but w.e.

Well,listening to it after this theory,the lyrics does make more sense then thinking it's just another serial-killer theme. :y:

I disagree. I believe there is no deeper meaning to this song. Not to say you're wrong by any means. The way I interpret the song, it sounds like Em was just reimagiing the JonBenet' incident... if that.

Why were you shocked by that line? Chino Xl & Bizarre had jon benet lines a decade ago that were imo worse than Em's line (well at least Chino did lol).

@ Raids

To me, the part about him creeping around about to attack a little girl in her room and the 3rd verse just reminds me of all that craziness. He said her name in the first verse so it's not like he couldn't have had ideas in his verses.

lol I just started listening to him a few months ago. But the verse I'm talking about is on the 99 anthem, right before KRS finishes the song, "I fuck and murder your young style like Jon Benet Ramsey" or something like that so i'm surprised you haven't heard it. :sweating:
Yeah, his sickology 101 verse is dope but you should check out all his shit. He's amazing. :worship:
