Lyrical Analysis of...
Baban - Home (Vancity)
- Drugs
- Where we go
- (verse 1)
- Keep the coke on the down low
- and I've seen brother when they foamed
- thinking they were just getting stoned
- no more dreams of chrome on the rove
- no more strength to hang onto what they strove
- they let drugs take the wheel and they just drove
- Like these words they let it flow
- I see everyday; its on the fucking shows
- We watch it like children in rows
- Too innocent
- Cause we were early on disciplined to be common citizens
- Maybe after all we aren't all so different
- And the darkness in my raps, I know its evident
- It aint an accident, its prevalent
- Like im writing a new testament
- Its time for a new reigment
- That doesnt allow the od bodies
- No more HIV lobbies
- No more coke hobbies
- Its turning the people of Vancity into a bunch of zombies
- They eat the wrong meat
- But just keep chewing
- Supporting out of town multibillionaires who didnt give a fuck about you
- This is our home
- The shitty schools we cling to are very old
- At lunch we raise and fold
- Where do the school payments go?
- How do some vices have miami dikes for wifes
- and drive porsches thats bullshit it aint right
- All the while
- Were all too high
- To do anything other than look for the bright lights
- And hope we can safely take flight
- No more rocks needing to be kicked
- Just some dope to be smoked
- (hook)
- Vancity
- Vancouver
- I know the truth hurts
- We love the weed
- Our city plays in different leagues
- You must strive if you want to achieve
- You gotta believe
- (verse 2)
- I really gotta say I love the weed
- But this shit, it is changing me
- Forever phasing me
- Some think its crazing me
- I spit to you from the level of the devil
- Im a drug addict, recovering now making my way through life all careful
- I still sip lean, smoke that green and go for a toke
- No not really, coke?
- Im not that type of bloke
- Im the type of fighter who throws out chokes
- And has to be pulled off before the bomb goes off
- And all hell explodes
- The place Im from it corrodes
- Moody, Van
- Why do they hate for having anything to do with a plant
- I wanna rant
- Maybe someone can spit a quick chant
- About these black panted, cheap suited
- Old fuckers counting ten bands,
- Its easy to not worry bout the lives of others when you live in a house with 10 baths
- and drive the new cadillac
- this cash has gotten you fooled its not he other way around mac
- I just dont understand, why nobody cares about the bodies piling up like sacks
- Shouldnt you rather ask, "why do you really smoke crack?"
- Many are on the wrong track
- Theyre bomb strapped
- Running into combat
- They arent jacked
- These boy have barely been scratched
- Probably never downed some Jack
- Ever year, newer bodies and theyre younger
- Let stop selling gats
- To the kids
- And all the fucking grown up skids
- Who just came off their bids
- The jails near Port Moody
- Theyre just like in the movies
- Youll get cuffed and fuck
- Youll get crushed and fucked
- If you dont work for someone they will string you up
- But this is my life
- Ill never be ashamed of where I came up
- I wont stop doing what im doing to make money til im paid up
- (hook)
- (verse 3)
- I just want to see the streets cleaned up
- No more fools to be methed up
- The treads are cut
- Lets put more focus, in another locus
- Follow the dreams that dont have to do with coke heads
- Anything legit to bring home that bread
- I dont even know what Im thinking
- Dont know what Im spitting
- I might still be going to prison
- still got a lot of sinning
- to do
- A lot of things to prove
- A lot of people to remove
- Even if you disprove
- The city Im from
- Im proud
- Ill spit this loud
- Then throw the haters into the crowd
- Let them eat your insides til ur hollowed out
- Only after does follow your shouts
- You can bump to my shit on repeat until your soul gives out
- Only then will our roles be filled out
- Me, a youngan looking for bands
- Doing everything I can
- Selling any I cant
- There isnt much left that I shant
- Just keep the rolly filters damp
- And keep enjoying the camp
- The tall trees, looming over me
- The wilderness, as consuming as the sea
- Go to west and see the ocean of P
- Dont swim in it unless you wan to get HIV
- I was sick for weeks
- It took me months to see
- And years to learn
- Which streets to use
- And which blocks to burn
- They say Im cursed
- Condemned forever to work under Earths curves
- Among earthworms
- The bugs down hear are like fucking herps
- I gotta say though
- I openly chose this life, I was not coerced
- Why or quite how I dont care to verse
- I just wanna say i could much worse
- If not for all the nice words
- And all the tight birds
- And all the pipe turns
- The weed baby, thats what makes the earth turn
- Now its your turn
- Go and make it
- Out of your city, rise above the pavement
- If you got a dream save it
- But always respect
- And always represent
- Your home is yours, the reason your you
- Any good you've done spawns from there too
- The darkness brings the brightness in play too
- Im still with the same crew
- Pomo squad forever till die
- Your daily reminders of the shit we went through
- I love you
- Rest
- these dead homies from drugs on the streets
- Shout out to the king for this beat
