about

Snoop Dogg, at some point in my early 20s, started releasing beats on Soundcloud with the idea of having independent artists record vocals over them. I do not know what happened with that endeavor but I know that I downloaded a bunch of them and barely did anything with them. This was the only song I had recorded at the time. It was an angry lashing out at my ex-girlfriend who had recently broken up with me and a sobering admission as to why it happened: I went to her parent's house to grab some things for her to take to her in Lansing and I hit my bong before I left. They knew I was high and called her and told her I was high (she smoked too, but her parents were not cool with it nor did they know) and she called me and basically broke up with me because I went to her parent's house high... obviously there were more reasons than just that for her to break up with me and ultimately... whatever but at the time and for years after that, I was very angry about the whole thing and made it very known. Anyway, I wrote this rap about that.

lyrics

What the fuck am I doing?
This is embarrassing
I should be lighting up a blunt while soaked in kerosine
Standing in front of a mirror burning
But you won't hear me scream
You're busy doing something else, monitoring computer screens
Talkin' to some other guy silently cause I'm not listening
Not paying attention to the signs when I probably should be
I'm too busy gettin' high, playin' Halo 3, tryin' not to die
Because I think this is important
Keepin' myself happy requires everything in order
Savin' up my quarters, takin' cans to the store
And turn them in for cash so I could get some gas
So I could meet your ass and you could smoke my stash
And there's no time for sex, you have to study for class
Or it's that time of the month and I'm not fuckin' with that
And your cramps extra bad so you need extra grass
Now the weekends over so it's back to my Dad's
Get out the bong, relax, roll up a couple of zags
Halo: Reach is comin' out, let's get the beta, hell yeah
Bet it's gonna be rad, hey Daddy, puff puff pass
I guess it's good to be back where I'm comfortable
I'll just do this forever, it's fuckin' wonderful
Get so fuckin' high that the skies open wide
Just enough so I can fly to another world

I wish it didn't have to be so complicated
We could just stay high and fly and be naked
But you were turned off and now I have to face it
I shouldn't have went to your parents stoned

What the fuck was I thinking
Oh yeah, I remember
The weather was turnin' it was the middle of November
Thought things were gettin' better
But never, you are the shredder
Takin' Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, drop a couple letters
And leave me with a shell of what I used to remember
Now cut that in half, I use a chemical sever
Eternal Sunshine, my Clementine, I wanna forget her
It doesn't take half a brain to know whenever, whatever
I will survive the endeavor, R. Kelly hot with Berettas
I have to think of something quick because it's not what you tell 'em
There's no narrator to time out and give you a lesson
You either get it on your own or else you're left to guess
Then you get a crazy notion to head out to the West
And get four quarters, each with a different scent
I can't remember the names cause I was so crazy blazed
That part of my memory banks were erased
Vacation ends, on the airplane back to Michigan
One extra "boy howdy" because me and Dad snuck on a couple of brownies
Everybody's gettin' rowdy, the whole damn cabin turned into a party
There were elephants there gettin' daggered on the dance floor by a marmoset with purple hair
