A couple of years back I wrote up some thoughts on Billy Woods and Ka lyrics that people seemed to enjoy. Well this year, as many/all of you know, Billy Woods dropped another excellent album, Aethiopes. And I'm sitting at home bored as I don't start a new job for another couple weeks, so I figured I'd do another breakdown, this time of Woods's verse on the excellent track "Sauvage". This is gonna take a minute, so buckle up, hopefully people get something out of it.

Dre shot his uncle for beatin' his mom

Beat the case, started eleventh grade like nothin' was wrong

As with many of Woods's verses, this one is a bit of a collection of vignettes that weave in and out of each othe

So my Ka breakdown a week or two ago was pretty well received, and in that breakdown I said I might do one on a different style of lyricist. So here is a breakdown of the lyrics of "A Day in a week in a year" by Billy Woods off his excellent album "Hiding Places." This time my analysis is of the whole track and is over the comment limit, so I decided to post it as a thread instead of a comment in the DD. Hope you enjoy. Warning it is an essay.

A day, in a week, in a year

Where e'rything exactly as you feared

Lightning could strike me right here

Right here, holdin' a pho
