Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Alright man let's go to Poppa Ken's, get some 40-dogs man
Aiyyo man pull over!
What for?
I gotta take a piss man
I got to pee I got to pee upon a tree, right
I got to pee I got to pee upon a tree..
And not time, for pee, to come out, on me, so I
I go and pee I go and pee upon a tree, right
I go and pee I go and pee upon a tree (buk buk buk)
The people walk by and say, "Aye D.M.C.!"
"No no, no no, yo bro it is not me." right?
I got to pee I got to pee upon a tree, right
I got to pee I got to pee upon a tree
The lyrics to A.M. Architect's "Upon" paint a picture of a classic late-night escapade with friends, full of alcohol and impulsive decisions. The song starts with a sense of urgency as the two friends, Dee and the singer, rush to go get some alcohol. Over the course of the song, the singer has to pee and decides to do so on a nearby tree because he drank too much Olde E and didn't want to wet himself. The defiance of societal norms and the disregard for consequences suggest that the singer may be young, inexperienced, or possibly caught up in the moment.
The lyrics evoke a sense of both freedom and recklessness. The simple act of peeing on a tree represents a moment of liberation from societal constraints and expectations, a momentary escape from norms and expectations. The use of the first-person point of view immerses the listener in the experience, making it feel as if they too are participating in this moment of rebellion. However, this freedom is also fleeting, as evidenced by the singer's hiding from passersby who mistake him for D.M.C, the famous rapper from Run-DMC. The tone of the song is lighthearted, playful, and humorous, despite the potentially embarrassing situation.
Overall, "Upon" is a fun and catchy song that captures the spirit of youthful adventures and reckless impulses. The lyrics explore themes of freedom, defiance, and humor through a relatable narrative that many listeners can likely connect with.
