People Talking
Whispers of City Dreams: Skipp Whitman's Urban Symphony
Lyrics
People talkin but i aint hearin what they say,
Ignoring the talk of others, not paying attention to what they say.
Def from tinnitus check on my flight is leavin 8 days,
Experiencing hearing loss due to tinnitus, checking a flight that departs in 8 days.
Im outta town a lot,
Frequently traveling out of town.
I dont wanna stay in my shadees grey,
Preferring not to stay in a monotonous or dull situation.
How much time could i spend on the chaise,
Questioning how much time can be spent leisurely.
Gotta change plays,
Needing to change strategies or plans.
Uh
-
Was never at good at b ball,
Not skilled at basketball.
Whitman can't jump,
Playing on the title "White Men Can't Jump."
Need some audi 8 cylynidar equpment,
Desiring audio equipment, unable to pump (gas).
I can't pump,
Mentioning the year 2035 and the uncertainty of the location.
Gas in 2035 in LA,
If not on the sand, uncertain about the specific street ("st. something").
But if my ass aint on sand some,
-
Where on st. soemthing by then,
Feeling the need to leave rather than stay.
I cant say,
Considering the family and the appeal of a tan-legged partner.
Uh,
Reflecting on a past day of partying and reluctance to start the day.
I gotta go,
-
I can't stay,
Expressing a desire to leave rather than remain in a situation.
As long as the kids,
Prioritizing time with children and a partner with tan legs.
W me and my girl w tan legs,
Recalling being awake until 8 AM despite partying.
Yesterday i was up 8 even though we were paryin-til the fuckin place shut us down starin at my ceiling dont-wanna-get-up-today,
---
Peopel talkin and i dont where they been,
Observing people talking without knowledge of their experiences.
Got a mask,
Wearing a mask, but the facade is becoming apparent.
On but the shits wearin thin,
Smiling while the mask is wearing thin, suggesting a genuine self is emerging.
I stare and grin,
Claiming a desire for fame, even when others avoid it.
Nobody wanna be famous anynmore but IM in,
Believing persistence will lead to victory or success.
I heard all i gotta do is hang on long enough and i WIN,
---
In LA they be talkin about a job,
Noting the emphasis on jobs in Los Angeles and its impact on self-worth.
Like it turn em into a god,
Highlighting the inflated importance people give to jobs.
But just a worm in some sod,
Comparing individuals to worms in the soil, emphasizing humility.
A tesla is the new saab,
Equating a Tesla with status, replacing traditional symbols of success.
And your bank account could be swolen but you still dont know how to talk to a woman,
Stressing that financial success doesn't guarantee interpersonal skills.
