wither by the watering hole, border patrol what are we to heart huckabee art fuckery suddenly? not enough young in his lung for the waterwing colorfully vulgar poacher outta mulch like "i'm 'a pull the pulse out a soldier and bolt" fine sign of the time we elapse when a primate climb up a spine and attach eye for an eye by the bog like swamps and vines they get a rise out of frogs and flies so when a dog-fight's hog-tied prize sorta costs a life their mouths water on a fork and knife and the allure isn't right, no score on a war torn beach where the cash cow's actually beef blood turns wine when it leak for police like "that's not a riot it's a feast, let's eat!"

Review about None Shall Pass The view of a german boy | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/24/2008 Im from germany and for me it is so hard to understand what aesop could mean with his words. For me it is like reading verses of shakespeare. We had to read romeo&juliett in school and there i had my problems too^^. So in my eyes this artist is one kind of a poet you just find one or two in one generation. bardish spit | Reviewer: gdi | 11/6/2008 these lyrics are just another example of aesop evolving as a poet to give the listener, or, reader multiple paths to take towards a meaning....amazing ability to cast his mind in a blurry word paint, such as to outcast no one... The meaning | Reviewer: Albert | 10/23/2008 I see many political references in the first verse. "Flash that buttery gold jittery zeitgeist, wither by the watering hole border patrol" to me, that is a reference to the so called "american dream", the way all the money is flashed around and then people from the poorer countries as a result look at america as the watering hole and try go there to make their fortunes ie. illegal immigrants. The next line reinforces this, "what are we to heart huckabee art fuckery suddenly", wich is a reference to former Arkansaw governor Mike Huckabee, and his political view for his presidential campaign regarding immigration, wich was that they should be a 700-mile border fence built and, border patrol should be increased. This would of course result in many immigrants not being able to get over the border, and they would thus "wither by the watering hole". Even the next line "not enough young in his lung for the waterwing", could be a reference to his former weight, I got this extract from wikipedia, "Huckabee has publicly recounted his previous burdens as an obese man: the steps of the Arkansas capitol from the entrance of the building up to the Governor's office were so long and steep that he would be out of breath and exhausted by the time he reached the top of the stairs; He secretly feared that he would be interviewed by media at the top of the steps, and that he would be too out of breath to respond",(a waterwing needs air to be blown up you see). Then I feel the last part is a reference to the current war on iraq, "eye for an eye by the bog like swamps and vines", could be a reference to the fact that the war on iraq was allegedly started as payback for the 9/11 attacks (eye for an eye), "they get a rise out of frogs and flies", culd be a reference to an old game on the atari called "frogs and flies", where the player controls a frog sitting on a lilly and tries to eat as many flies as possible. The politicians could be the frogs and money could be the flies. "so when a dog-fight's hog-tied prize sorta costs a life, their mouths water on a fork and knife", I feel these last lines reference what he perceives as the governments greed, basically the prize of this war is the oil, and the bush administration doesn't seem to care about the lives of the soldiers lost. (Huckabee supports the war on iraq btw), the lines "and the allure isn't right, no score on a war torn beach where the cash cow's actually beef", would support this, as the reason given behind the war, does not really seem to be true. "blood turns wine when it leak for police like, "that's not a riot it's a feast, let's eat!"" I feel these lines comment on the general blood thirsty nature of today's world in general, and I'm from Rwanda so I know this firsthand. That's what I got from the song, first verse especially, although the "rap game" angle makes loads of sense too, especially when u factor in the 2nd and 3rd verses, and I think that's why he's so good (aside from his abillity to deliver ridiculously wordy verses effortlessly), he fits so many meanigs into his songs, Aesop indeed. This is real hip hop. proper | Reviewer: wills | 9/6/2008 for real i actually heard this song looking for ringtones for daylight on my girlfriends phone wow what a song instant love with it just aesthetically, love the beat and rhyme and looking at these lyrics i can never follow the lyrics in song even after 100 listens but the lyrics, just try to put words together like that even without abeat even just reading it, damn, to write like that aesop lives up to and even beyond his namesake of a storyteller great lyricist artist and human Amazing | Reviewer: Brett | 8/14/2008 I had to listen to the song about 6 times before I could actually rap along side him, this songs makes it sound like he's at his best. All rap needs to be like this, something that has a true meaning that can be conveyed to others, not just speaking of random vile words. But, thats mankind's way, eh? The Worms | Reviewer: Jamie Feterl | 7/22/2008 You know this does have biblical references but I think it also does reflect how society works. In addition to it having biblical references, look at the worms, they are angels...and the rabbit is being carried by the angel worms in an antique hearse....maybe the rabbit is going to be judged with the rest of the people in the line... Revolutionary | Reviewer: Hero | 4/6/2008 Like most people within my age group, I download music. I downloaded this album even. From start to finish this album was so amazing that I special ordered it on vinyl, best investment I've made in years. Phenomenal artist with an amazing way of satirically approaching very prominent subjects. Aesop- None Shall Pass | Reviewer: Jonnie | 2/12/2008 If you've seen the video then it really becomes clear on what he is trying to put across. I don't believe that it is just about the war in Iraq, even though some of the song addresses that issue (When the Cash Cow is actually Beef) meaning that what is deemed to be a profitable option actually isn't. Aesop is very talented, off the wall and at his best can deliver the most inspiring lyrics in rap. I've tried to rap the lyrics and it is so hard I'll agree with you there. Lyrically impressive | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/6/2008 Often I find a song I like that has a catchy beat, but not much else going for it. This is one of my favorite raps, not only is the music itself great but the rap is just Aesop at his best. It really is an impressive track. If you don't think his flow is that great, try rapping along in time with him with the lyrics in front of you. It isn't easy. He makes it sound effortless. Judgement Day | Reviewer: anonymous | 2/9/2008 Whenever I listen to this, I think of the final war on earth. References to Jericho, war, judgemnet day, and the main lyrics "none shall pass." This reminds of of how in the Bible, the angel to guard the Garden of Eden (Guarding man forever from the tree of eternal life(not the tree of wisdom from which Adam and Eve ate from). Other lyrics such as "where the cash cow's actually beef blood turns wine when it leak for police like "that's not a riot it's a feast, let's eat!"" This refers to mans urge to see blood during those times. "to make a dark horse rush like enough is enough" refers to the dark horse mentioned in Revelation."and i will rejoice in your fall from grace(- Man ) with a cane through the sky like "none shall pass" Reminds me of the Coming of Christ, with the heavens opening up.
