In case my lack of reply had you catchin' them feelings
Know you've been on my mind like Kaepernick kneelin'
Or police killings, or Trump sayin' slick shit
Manipulatin' poor white folks because they ignant
Blind to the struggles of the ones that got the pigment
Lately I've been stressin' 'cause it seems so malignant
I need to feel your essence in my presence if you're with it
I guarantee you won't regret you did it if you come through
Wordplay can come about in a multitude of directions, but the overall goal is to execute a pun or pop culture reference through word alterations and the flipping of meanings. A few methods include: internal rhyme schemes; varying pronunciations; synonyms; synonyms juxtaposed by antonyms; syllable breakdowns; double, triple, and even quadruple entendres; and spelling.
While these encapsulate the "leisure" part of the album's title, "war" also bleeds into the music, with political commentary sprinkled throughout its 12 tracks. The disarmingly breezy Banana Clip offsets its amorous lyrics with references to "missiles in the sky" and "terror on my mind," giving the song a tinge of gloom in light of recent news about North Korea. Stopping in for Come Through and Chill, guest rapper J. Cole applauds Colin Kaepernick's national anthem protest, while denouncing police brutality and political ignorance. ("Trump saying slick (expletive) / manipulating poor white folks 'cuz they ignunt.")
