A Dae In April
A Dae in April: Navigating High School Moments
Lyrics
Was on my lunch break on a dae in April in high school
Reflecting on a day in April during high school while on a lunch break.
My friend said wanna spark it up I said yeah man that's cool
Friend suggests smoking, and the speaker agrees casually.
Wasn't the type to really be smoking and all that shit
Admits not being a regular smoker but decides to try new experiences.
But I said fuck it guess it's time for me to try and live
Expressing a carefree attitude and a willingness to embrace life.
Behind a checkers he was packing up a little spliff
Describes a friend preparing a joint behind a Checkers store.
That cannabis was boofin all I did was take a sniff
Smells the cannabis and takes a sniff, possibly indicating curiosity.
The wind was breezing sun was beaming temperature was right
Sets the scene with pleasant weather, creating a positive atmosphere.
The homies breathing never tweaking they just taking flight
Friends are relaxed, enjoying the moment without worries.
I'm super focused traveling through my psychology
Feels mentally focused, possibly due to the influence of the substance.
We check the time because we have marine biology
Mentions checking the time for a class related to marine biology.
I got some grey flannel cologne by mr. Geoffrey Beene
References wearing cologne, hoping not to smell like cannabis around authority figures.
Let's hope that we don't smell like dank when we walk past the dean
Humorous concern about the scent lingering after using cannabis.
We walk the streets the birdies sing beautiful melodies
Walking the streets with friends, enjoying nature and music.
We look like gangsters that was mobbin from the seventies
Describes the group's appearance, perhaps contrasting stereotypes.
My default mode is one of chaos and anxiety
Reveals a default mode of chaos and anxiety within the speaker.
My friend said homie that's the pressures from society
Friend attributes the anxiety to societal pressures.
Was a dae in April
Repeats the mention of a day in April, emphasizing the significance.
I had to let it go
Expresses a need to let go of something significant on that day.
I just needed you to know
Emphasizes the importance of someone knowing about the experience.
Was a dae in April
Reiterates the significance of the day in April.
Back in the building we had missed the bell but it did ring
Back in the school building, noticing rappers flaunting their jewelry.
We see the rappers in the commons showing off their bling
Describes rushing to avoid being late, aware of others' judgments.
We racing up the stairs so we don't be showing up late
Racing to class, trying to maintain a positive image despite scrutiny.
If people looking and start hating we'll just let em hate
Ready to brush off negativity from those who might dislike them.
Now I was jogging and my heart was beating really fast
Experiencing physical effects, possibly from the substance consumed.
Man what the fuck is happening how long this gonna last
Expresses confusion and discomfort about the intensity of the experience.
I see the girl I have a crush on in my bio class
Spots a crush in biology class, adding a romantic element to the narrative.
She's gonna see me super smacked I hope that she don't laugh
Concerned about the crush seeing the speaker under the influence.
Why is it that the dumbest things are constant on my mind
Reflects on intrusive thoughts and distractions in the mind.
She might be really into me she might be really kind
Considers the possibility of mutual interest from the crush.
My default mode is one of fear and paranoia too
Shares another default mode, this time involving fear and paranoia.
My friend said kendall there is really nothing wrong with you
Friend reassures the speaker that nothing is inherently wrong with them.
