Midwest
Midwest Chronicles: Seeking Green, Finding Self
Lyrics
I'm out in Oklahoma smokin' all this ganja by myself
I'm in Oklahoma, smoking marijuana alone.
I walk right into the dispo get my shit and walk right out
I enter a dispensary, quickly get what I need, and leave.
I don't even get id'd this shits cheap and reeks
I don't get ID'd; the cannabis is affordable and potent.
Momma said I need some help but I just need that green
Mom advises seeking help, but the speaker craves the drug.
Debating everyday what does life really mean
Contemplating the true meaning of life every day.
"Its simple, live love be happy and free"
Advice received: "Live, love, be happy, and free."
Daddy said that, but never had responsibility
Dad said this but lacked responsibility.
Growing up his catch phrase was "never be like me"
Childhood phrase: "Never be like my irresponsible father."
Got all this time on my hands but no time to spare
Idle time, but none to spare.
Walking 'round my house not even wearing underwear
Casually moving around home without underwear.
Thinking bout my plans tomorrow but that should be clear
Thinking about future plans, but clarity is lacking.
I'm on a mission baby but the goal is no where near uh
On a mission with an unclear goal.
I'm on a mission baby but the goal is no where near uh
Repetition of line 12 for emphasis.
Yeah bitch
Expressive affirmation.
I'm on a mission baby but the goal is no where near
Reiteration of being on a mission with an undefined goal.
Two more months of this shit don't know what I'm gonna do
Anticipating two more months of uncertainty.
Gonna sit here by myself writing raps in my room
Isolating, writing rap alone in the room.
Eating Thai food munching on this crab rangoon
Consuming Thai food, particularly crab rangoon.
Out here in the midwest I'm like the only Jew
Feeling unique as the only Jew in the Midwest.
But who knew? I'd be out here writing my best shit
Surprisingly excelling in writing while away.
Back home they're on that lazy shit I can't get with
Contrasting with hometown's lazy culture.
Can't blame them sadly that's just how we all were raised
Understanding laziness, influenced by upbringing.
But I beat the odds I'm like my momma in that way
Defying odds, similar to the speaker's mother.
Yeah you don't really know how it feels to be alone
Expressing the loneliness of being alone.
Til you're in another state wit nobody that you know
Realizing the isolation when in an unfamiliar state.
Since I was in school I let nobody get too close
Historical reluctance to let others get close.
That's the one thing about me is I'm in my own zone
Asserting independence and being in one's own zone.
I'm on a mission baby but the goal is no where near uh
Reiteration of being on a mission with an undefined goal.
I'm on a mission baby but the goal is no where near uh
Repetition for emphasis on the unclear mission.
