getting visual is a habit (i.e. habitual)

GZA always prides himself in making descriptive lyrics. Rhymes you can "see".
Getting visual's habitual means he always slings that imagistic style. |

Good shit right there. Isn't the next line something like "walking on hot coals at rituals" Theres so many ways to interpret that. I always thought GZA had a very majestic way about him (especially in the old days) and on Beneath the Surface. His rhyming style is so unique and image provoking. OUT

Re: Getting visuals
the phrase "getting visuals" is often used to describe a moderate to heavy state of intoxication on a hallucinogenic substance like LSD or PCP...it is short for "getting visual hallucinations." I think GZA is trying to say that where he comes from, people are habitually intoxicated on hallucinogens. "Getting visuals" denotes a heightened state of intoxication becuase you don't just feel a buzz or sense that music sounds better, etc, but you actually see things that aren't there. Cf. the next line about splashing paint on a wall and seeing an image. As poster before said, more here than on most hip-hop albums.

Visuals can be reached through meditation as well.
