    Doesn't matter...it's the connotation behind it. The average person knows that electronics + water = bad and we've been pre-conditioned that phones and bathtubs are dangerous.

    It doesn't matter how scientifically correct it is, the line still clicks and it's funny.



    Can't really speak for OP though...I have listened to these exact songs and wondered the same thing before tbh, it has bugged me for years.

    Nice attempt at being smart, If you took some time to think, you would realize that the metaphor has to do with the phrase "touched on" in this case he compares his rapping about certain topics (him touching on them) to physical molestation.

    Again, take some time to think, he's saying there is more ketchup than mustard (in whatever) referencing himself as the mustard and the competition as ketchup. It's a perfectly fine metaphor.
    Took you a whole lot longer than 6 minutes didn't it.
