[Verse 1: Bless]

To “blaze” is clearly to smoke marijuana, but in this case, the word is used in the sense that he races through the rap game faster than any other competitor. He then implies that he races through the game so fast, that the fame cannot keep up with him, which possibly means that Shahmen collectively is ahead of their time, and will not reach fame until much later.

Not only are Bless' rhyme patterns and flows are almost alive, the eerie drum patterns and samples partnered with conscious lyrics define Shahmen.

It’s pretty obvious that he was built for the real in this since pound over ounce. 1 pound = 16 ounces.

Amazing assonance and alliteration

Assonance denoted in bold:
Somewhere the sun sets out on my silhouette

Bless has made money from dealing with only god knows what and finally the time has come to start putting some of this money aside. Whether he decides to hide this money from the authorities or save it for a rainy day, Bless knows that money is the root of all evil. As Bless makes more money, the more he feels as if he is being claimed by the demons.

Reflecting upon his life Bless realises that despite the fact he spent years of his life simply maturing and soul searching, these years are far from wasted. He learned from and was able to overcome his fears and hardships.

A brief shout out to all aspects of culture Bless represents or speaks of.

Filament is a thread, and Bless could be refering to the threads within him, i.e His Heart. He’s trying to say that as long as his heart beats, so will his music continue on.

Shahmen is Smoking with his homies (I’m assuming) and reminiscing about the past and moving on to bigger things

Abacus refers to the meaning of life, or at least what the public perception of life really is. If you go against what society dictates (in terms of how life should be lived), you will end up “being smashed to dust”, or cease to exist. However, despite death being imminent for those who go against the grain, we will raise like Lazarus.

Lazarus was a follower of Jesus who was resurrected shortly after his death. Even if we do die, we cannot be truly killed. We may not be resurrected physically, but perhaps our ideals and morals will live on.

Additionally, in the bringing up the literal sense, an abacus is the original calculator. The beads are used by sliding them one direction or the other. By sliding the “wrong” way you are doing bad math and making a mistake, which may result in “being smashed to dust.”

Bless believes if he gives up what he is currently pursuing, these projects will amount to nothing more than ash because they cannot survive without him.

In a more literal sense, when passing a joint or blunt to another person, Bless observes that the marijuana is exhausted much quicker.

Bless could be referencing to the ritualistic theme his album through sacrificial standard.
Whilst also claiming his rap style is so great, it could resurrect someone.

What physical material we consider to be treasure and assign a high value to is in fact, when compared with our true inner selves, nothing but the equivalent to trash. So enough with the mindset that material goods are worth more than humans because everyone has gold within them.

Once again, Bless showers his lyrics with assonance and alliteration–
Treasure turns to trash from the gold in us

Bless is placing himself under a King ranking in the rap industry, assuring himself and others that no one can mess with him any more. Also could be brass knuckles with the 4 letters for king on each finger.
