A song about opening up your mind and finding the courage to leave home so that you can pursue your dreams. It is almost certain that Bones is rapping in a nostalgic tone about what made him leave Howell. His lyrics are very narrative, describing how he felt like he was in a sense “stuck” in his old...
[Verse 1]
The place that I grew up was hard to leave
It had everything I loved and hated and in-between
Had visions and intuitions of a west coast theme
But we were smoking synthetic
When I slept, I couldn't dream
So how am I supposed to see what I know I truly mean
When my eyes are glazed over and my brain can't breathe?
When Jane and El left to show me a couple of things
Like you ain't gotta settle with the mental this town breeds
But how do I dash and carve out my own path
When I don't see no problem with livin’ and sleepin’ in trash?
It was the highlight of our year to get a quarter ounce bag
Finally we had something to release the anger we had
But just as all things do, it started to get old
Everyday on rewind, I played the same old role
Had a chip on my shoulder, almost to the point I would scold
Anyone of my old friends that told me "Stay home"
'Cause they didn't get it and I got that they never would
Don't want to die in a place where the graves are made of mud
What?
SESH
[Chorus]
Gotta do what I got to do, gotta do what I got to do
Gotta do what I got to do, gotta do what I got to do
[Verse 2]
Silence creeps, the violence speaks, I let the
Violin sing so violently, I got to
Finally see my dreams will fight for me
Nightmares calling out to me
Smoke, watch the time pass, cash sign eyelids
Skull on my boots, razor blade tucked inside it
Smoke, watch the time pass, cash sign eyelids
Skull on my boots, razor blade tucked inside it
[Outro]
Caring 'bout your money, that's the hardest thing
