Liquor Store Closing
Late-night Revelry: Liquor, Dreams, and Heartbreak with Recess Radio
Lyrics
Been keeping the green no Yoshi
Referencing the video game character Yoshi, suggesting financial success or keeping money.
I'm the kid they calling up
Being recognized or contacted frequently.
You boys old Ginóbili
Comparing oneself to basketball player Manu Ginóbili, possibly indicating skill or fame.
You're that or sitting in nosebleeds
Choosing between success (being like Ginóbili) or obscurity (nosebleed seats).
Watching me score about 40
Being successful, scoring metaphorical points in life.
Closest thing to me was my fake ID taken by police
Recalling a time when a fake ID was confiscated by the police.
I dream to meet these people that probably don't even care if they know me
Expressing a desire for recognition from people who might not care.
So I stay close to my homies
Staying loyal to friends and not distancing oneself.
Don't go K.D. on your brodies
Advising against betraying friends like basketball player Kevin Durant (K.D.).
Know what time it is
Awareness of the present situation.
Just like I bought them boys new Rollies
Similar to buying expensive watches (Rolex) for friends.
Upgraded in this bitch
Improving one's status or possessions.
We drinking on Lairds no Stollies
Drinking Lairds instead of Stollies, indicating a preference for a specific brand of alcohol.
Till the liquor store closing
Drinking until the liquor store closes, possibly emphasizing a celebration or escapism.
My boys don't stop they keep going
Highlighting the perseverance of friends despite challenges.
I can't do this on my own
Acknowledging the need for collaboration and teamwork.
But with the team shit just might grow
Teamwork may lead to personal growth.
Puffing nicotine
Smoking cigarettes to cope with stress.
Bro said I know
A friend expressing understanding.
I know what you want
Repetition of "I know what you want," indicating confidence or insight into others' desires.
I know what you want
-I know what you want
-I know what you want
-I know what you want
-I know what you want
-I know what you want
-I know what you want
-Riding in my hometown its like 9:45
Describing a late-night quest for alcohol to cope with emotional pain and failed relationships.
Trying to hit this liquor store so I can stay alive
-Need that vodka for my brain
-And the whiskey for my heart
-Don't know shit about relationships so that shit fell apart
-Give a fuck about her name if she left me in the dark
-If she ever left me scarred
-Im going to stab her through the heart
-I said
Expression of emotional distress and frustration.
Vodka kill the pain so I guess she hit me hard
Alcohol as a coping mechanism for emotional pain.
We at the liquor store bitch
