This “muse” is seemingly ageless, as it was a muse in Plato’s symposium and as Dionysus, or Bacchus, and his wine inspired many poets and philosophers throughout Greek and Roman history. Taylor then follows with a sung hook verse, asking the audience and the musicians, “Can we get much higher?” This is an invocation to the muse of the musicians, which in this case seems to be narcotics.
Minaj resolves to elaborate to the “children”, an allegory for a listener who has much to learn and is eager to do so, the real story of the African American life.
The one that outsiders see is “watered down” and is only a “twisted fiction”. Even the lifestyle of someone such as West, an acclaimed and significantly wealthy musician, is “far too mean”. The only remaining option is, I guess, to write “that’s why your wins low” and assume/hope that someone reading it extrapolates the Family Matters reference (more likely if they read it aloud).This verse skewers the false perception of African American life in the American society. Others (like many of the sites that give rap lyrics) seem to have chosen “Wins-low” to remind people that it’s a double entendre, but that hyphen just looks wrong. If you write, “that’s why you’re Winslow” you’ve chosen to ignore the part of the joke about “your wins” being “low.”Ĭonsequently, if you write, “that’s why your Winslow” it looks as though you’re one of those idiots that writes “your” for “you are,” i.e. The issue comes with trying to write the line down (say, in a pro-Kanye, ‘I love this line’ tweet). The other is a knowing reference to the TV show Family Matters (too many Urkels on your team, that’s why you are like Winslow, as in Carl Winslow, Urkel’s next-door neighbor he pestered). One is the obvious-a taunt (too many losers on your team, that’s why your wins are low). If you don’t get it, he’s saying two things at once. The line, which is majorly fucking clever, is “Too many Urkels on your team, that’s why you’re Winslow.”
