This one's been buggin me for a while, but there's a line on Slum Village's "Fantastic Vol.2", where Dilla says "Coming back from the bank, baby, counting my change..."Who counts change coming BACK from the bank?Any other lines/verses that just defy explanation? And i'm not talking about abstract/artsy/poem type stuff. I'm talking rhymes that sound like the artist kinda plays it off like regular talk, but upon further inspection, make no cot dayum sense...
Lyrics that just don't make sense.

That line in Chuck Berry's "Run, Run Rudolph" where he has one kid asking Santa for a "rock & roll electric guitar." Yeah, it would be a stone drag if that same kid found a polka electric guitar under the tree, huh?
There's a LOT of rap lines that confuse me - I think everyone who has english as a second language can relate. One example:
"The only tip I have for a waiter, is don't let the door hit you where the dirty dog should have bit you". I just don't understand it in its context.
"The only tip I have for a waiter, is don't let the door hit you where the dirty dog should have bit you". I just don't understand it in its context.
Not sure which part you don't understand...but..
"Tip" can mean either the extra money you give someone for their (good) services(waiters,etc) or advice you give someone. "Don't let the door hit you in your ass on the way out", or "Don't let the door hit you where the good lord split you(your ass),etc.." is an old sarcastic saying...and of course, a dog can bite you in your ass.
Keith Sweat - I Want Her
Seen you last night, saw you standin??? there
Couldn???t picture the color of your hair
All I wanted to know were you really there
I wanna know was it my imagination
Ooh, you k now it was a sweet sensation
Lookin??? at you from a distance
Ooh, it seems so rea
You saw her standing there, but cant see her hair color?

Yeah, I get all that. But WHY is he saying it, int that context? Is it to show us how foul he used to live before he became a righteous muslim? He didn't even tip waiters before, now he's on a level supreme to the devil, is that it?

God damn that's funny.
I think it's assumed that he's talking about the stuff that folds, not the stuff that clinks.
Nobody ever taught you to count your money after making a withdrawal to make sure it's all there?
I never withdraw, only deposit.
It's a play on the word Rare. It has two meanings - "hard to find" and "lightly cooked meat". Lightly cooked meat is never crispy. But the sounds out of the MPC are. Get it?
Puns must be hard for second language speakers.

"When I hit it's like Farakan kissing a white bitch"
-Tragedy on some song on Saga Of A Hoodlum
I guess it's a shocking event when Tragedy ryhmes, but I'm still baffled by why he would chose this comparison. I guess he's just trying to sound crazy.

English is my first language and this still doesn't make sense to me. Crispyness aside, The MPC 3000 is neither hard to find, or like lightly cooked meat. Although I hear that Talib is similar to
