We have a song called “Positions of Strength.” It examines what makes powerful figures come into being. Some of my personal political views are on that song and there’s another called “I'm Behind You,” it’s about crimes large and small and how they completely permeate our society. From jaywalking to the big ones, murder and rape. It’s a big subject matter to talk about.

Lyrically both of us grew a lot as far as letting our personalities show more through our lyrics. I think that for any rapper starting out up until recently the only thing you had to really rap about was mostly parties, girls, money or status. I think that there has been a wave in all of music towards being more personal with your songs. I don't want to seem like we’re just stuck in a wave but as a natural evolution, as a writer, I feel like I’m less focused on writing a really good rap verse and more focused on writing a really good song. More often than not, the songs I’m writing now are about something. Traditional rap has sometimes been about going to parties, hanging out. In striving to not do that, you got to talk about something else—and a lot of times that’s yourself. As you push yourself to be better at what you do you push yourself into new things and I think both of us have been pushing to be more personal in our lyrics.
