Garden Grove
Journey to Garden Grove: Unveiling the Depths of Love and Struggle
Lyrics
We took this trip to Garden Grove
We embarked on a journey to Garden Grove
It smelt like Lou Dog inside the van, oh yeah
The scent inside the van reminded us of Lou Dog
This ain't no funky reggae party, five dollars at the door
This is not a typical reggae party; admission is five dollars
It gets so real sometimes, who wrote my rhyme?
Life can be intense, questioning the authorship of my lyrics
I've got the microwave, got the VCR
I possess a microwave and VCR
I got the deuce-deuce in the trunk of my car, oh yeah
A small firearm is stored in my car trunk
If you only knew that all the love that I've found
If you knew the depth of the love I've discovered
It's hard to keep my soul on the ground
Maintaining a grounded soul can be challenging
You're a fool
A warning to avoid foolish actions
Don't fuck around with my dog
Protective statement regarding personal boundaries
All that I can see, I steal I fill up my garage
I accumulate material possessions, perhaps to fill emotional voids
'Cause in my mind
Emphasizing the importance of one's mental perspective
Music from Jamaica, all the love that I found
Expressing appreciation for Jamaican music and the love experienced
Pull over, there's a reason why my soul's unsound
A suggestion that there's a cause for inner turmoil
It's you
The source of unease or discomfort
It's that shit stuck under my shoe
A metaphorical reference to an undesirable situation
It's that smell inside the van
The unpleasant smell inside the van
It's my bed sheet covered with sand
Referencing a bed sheet covered with sand, possibly alluding to hardship
Sittin' through a shitty band
Suffering through a mediocre musical performance
Gettin' dog shit on my hand
Dealing with unpleasant situations, like picking up dog waste
Gettin' hassled by the man
Facing challenges and confrontations from authorities
Wakin' up to an alarm
Waking up to the harsh reality, possibly symbolized by an alarm
Stickin' needles in your arm
Alluding to drug use and its consequences
Pickin' up trash on the freeway
Engaging in undesirable tasks like picking up trash on the freeway
Feelin' depressed every day
Experiencing persistent feelings of depression
Leaving without making a sound
Leaving a situation without drawing attention
Pickin' my dog up at the pound
Reclaiming a pet from an animal shelter
Livin' in a tweeker pad
Living in a place associated with methamphetamine use
Gettin' yelled at by my dad
Confrontations and disapproval from a parent
Sayin' I'm happy when I'm not
Pretending to be happy when one is not
Findin' roaches in the pot
Discovering unpleasant surprises, possibly related to drug use
All these things I do
Listing various challenging and possibly self-destructive actions
They're waiting for you
Indicating that these actions are waiting for someone, perhaps as a cautionary note
