This song is a masterful narrative by Jus Allah, full of double entendres, subtle wordplay and metaphors (and a twist ending).
With the first verse, this song seems to break the pattern of subject matter on the album, and after 8 tracks of violence and aggression, the change in pace is even more pr...
[Verse 1]
Blind labeling, wasting time wine-tasting
Grapevines laying sideways in hibernation
Glass nose level, the smell of a fresh white violet
Decaying dried red rose petal
White wine, medium blonde color, playing subtle tone
This bottle's from the south of France, Southern Rome
Age 2 to 4 years, vintage
High intensity, low alcohol percentage
Talking to a new girl, acting natural
Real casual, give her my glass, a whirlpool swirl
So distinguished, we managed a conversation in Spanish
Even though we both spoke English
Hard for me to take my eyes off of her, I couldn't blink
Brains and beauty, I like the way you look and think
She was with guests, she went back right before she left
We hooked together our arms and we took a drink
[Verse 2]
New York, New York
Near the shore of the Atlantic
Female, 24, Hispanic
Clean, tried to eat mostly organic
Strict diet, vegan, she was disease-free
Normal BP, light seasoning
Died for no rhyme or reason
It was an ambush, surprise meeting
She was slightly drunk, white riesling
Was a second hand smoker, I should be a med
But the only book that I read is Dracula from Bram Stoker
Both her parents absent, she was born to a mom
She never met, and a dad that she wished she hadn't
Cold murder, one shot left her in the dark
Like 'what she doesn't know won't hurt her'
There's a lot of blood types, I don't think I'll ever be hooked
But with her the more that I drank the better she looked
I kept pouring, I can't see without glasses
Here's to her life, batten down the hatches!
