Track #2 on Wes’s rookie EP, Photosynthesis.
Wes is telling us about how he’s becoming more successful and, because of it, is becoming a symbol for his city (Los Angeles). Kind of like how hood ornaments on cars are typically the symbol for the car brand.
[Verse 1]
Looking out my window pane
Pretending I'm in outer space
I'm so far away
So far away from yesterday
Looking out my window pane
Pretending I'm in outer space
I'm so far away
So far away from yesterday
[Hook]
Shut the fuck up, make your bitch feel important
Keep bringing new shit to new toilets
Pop pop, two shots, that's a warning
Think you got to struggle for the glory, you fell for the story
I'm a symbol for my city, city, a hood ornament (ornament)
I'm a symbol for my city, city (a hood ornament)
Try and put me in the corner, I Horry them
Turn the club into a drug emporium
Got a bad bitch from the Orient
Make her fan out like accordions
So glorious
I'm a symbol for my city, city, a hood ornament
I'm a symbol for my city, city (a hood ornament)
[Verse 2]
Okay, we riding around, high as fuck
Holding a ten, had a lady cop light me up
I said, misses, you going to write me up?
Because I'm headed downtown and I'm trying to fuck
I got a white girl, brown hair, blue eyes, pink nipples
Black girl, blue hair, green eyes, man, go figure
Yeah, and when I step in Los Globos, please no photos
Yeah, I got a girl but she don't know though, know though
That I got a freak on the weekend in [?]
We got a long way to go but we've come so far
So we [?] drinks from the bar
Reach for the stars
[?]
[Hook]
[Bridge/Outro]
Told them give me time, watch the engine warm up
Every lane is mine, yeah I'm driving [?], bruh
So I, so I, so I (yeah)
