Stop bruh, you reachin'. There is no way your gonna sit up here and tell me you caught all of that on your first, second, or even third listen through. I'm a Lupe fan too. The fact of the matter is, it's not about going over anyone's head. Not this particular song. He is an MC, and responsible for communicating his verbal assaults in a manner which are witty and clever, but cohesive and understandable to a certain point. Complexity and depth does not necessarily imply some superior intelligence or pen game when it comes to rap.
Best example of this would be the banana clips /six line. That's some deep shit that not everyone would get, especially niggas not educated in fire arm slang. That's a line that would go over a nigga's head. But the lyrics themselves (Deer lord, have mercy on my...) on the surface are uninspired and not that great over beats. The shit sounds lazy and corny to some. He's gonna have to capture nigga's attention sonicly much better, if he expects people to sit there and decode anything. That's the point of an MC.
Edit: Let me just add, the nigga doesn't have to dumb anything down to accomplish what I'm implying.
