I don't mean to insult, but that should have been the OP of a new "Crap Trying To Pass Itself Off As Music" thread. Yikes.
What the fuck
HOW IS IT CRAP?

It has no musicality, it's boring, and the lyrics are adolescent. Those are just off the top of my head.

The lyrics are full of metaphors and great story telling.
Which is better:
To die with ignorance, or to live with intelligence?

Then go back and read them.

You realize he's talking about himself? You realize the entire song title and chorus "The river runs deep" is a metaphor for life itself, the actions we take, having a large effect down the road, that's why he's takes two people with the same opportunities, one who stopped drugs, one who didn't. That decision may seem small in the moment, but the great storytelling is that he tells how the ensuing actions because of that one choice ended up giving them entirely different results. Then at the end he says "Story of my life cause both of them were me, thinkin to myself yo who i wanna be", meaning he was faced with the same choice, and when you look at what the second person did because he quit drugs, became a rapper, record deals, you realize this is him.

"It has metaphors in it" is not an argument for or against the artistic merits of any piece of media.

Yep, but it is an argument against the argument he made that the lyrics weren't up to par.

No, it's a neutral descriptor, it says nothing for the quality of the lyrics.

Well it tells you that they are at least cryptic enough to have metaphors, and not filled with simplicity like you would expect from an under par song, that's a plus in my books, feel free to disagree.
