With his first mixtape project, 2007’s Customized Greatly Vol. 1, the 16 year-old lyricist proved that he had the potential to be more than just another Myspace artist. He followed up that project a year later with Customized Greatly Vol. 2 which produced “I’m Right Here” and “It’s All Good,” two songs that picked up around the city. By junior year, he realized that this was something that he not only wanted, but needed to do. So he traded in the hard wood for the stage, dusted off his rhyme book and started getting even more serious about his music. He was making a name for himself amongst the younger crowd in Los Angeles, but now he has his sights set on greater gains. Vol. 1 was somewhat of an experiment, Vol. 2 a test, but now the teen-aged spitter is ready for graduation.
Sleeping in Class, his third solo project, and arguably his most evolved yet, promises to be a culmination of the lessons he’s learned over the last couple of years. The tape intends to prove that while the young artist is not quite seasoned, his potential is definitely ripe.
Welcome Home Son
Casey Veggies Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nigga couldn't change you could blame it on my ego
Yungin' started grinding man I did it on the d-low
Came back shining with that 4th quarter free throw
Game time nigga even if get the rebound
Hoes tryna figure where I be now
But that love shit ain't somethin' I don't see now
Lost, still profound, and every day it go down
These other niggas lame now
So I do my thang just to bring them haters pain now
Nigga Matt Martians told the boy to write a verse
Came in killin' ain't even need to rehearse
Swear I take it down and I make that girl disperse
And I ain't just kill it man I put it in a hearse, I'm back home
Suck it up, cock it up
Time is when the clock is up
Cause you don't have to talk for us to chop it up (chop it up?)
Freezer burn, erection when I see you squirm
For me not to get inside your face I'm the newest dermatologist
Blood on my shirt no one acknowledged it
From teenage babes leaving dates I got to followin'
Swallow it, clean it off, polish it
Axe you up in the back of my shack, fuck some hollow tips
Throw you in my deep creek of self-esteem on some shallow shit
The Kids used to tease now I'm hiding in the leaves of the trees
Where the school where their teen daughter attend
I grab them by the pelgro throw them in the passenger
To balance up the color of my van it matches egg yolk
My only fucking way to calm down, the view of dead folk
"This movie fuckin' sucks"
Because the pay per view is dead ho now shut the fuck up and work magic with esophagus
The lyrics of Casey Veggies's song "Welcome Home Son" depict a story of growth and self-confidence. The opening lines suggest that the singer is driving around town, still the same person he was before, while acknowledging his ego might be to blame for him not changing. He references his past grind and how he came back shining, comparing it to a successful basketball free throw in the fourth quarter. Despite his success, he remains grounded and aware of the love, or lack thereof, around him. The lyrics convey a sense of lostness, but also a profound understanding.
The second verse takes a darker turn, with Casey Veggies discussing violent and disturbing actions. He talks about chopping up a person without needing to talk, referencing a freezer burn and a disturbing erection. He mentions blood on his shirt that goes unnoticed and implies a history of following and harming people. Casey Veggies uses grotesque and graphic imagery to create a chilling atmosphere. The verse ends with a contrast between his past as a teased teenager and his current position of power, hiding in the leaves of the trees where the school is located.
The overall interpretation of these lyrics is that Casey Veggies is reflecting on his journey from a regular person to a successful artist, but he also hints at a darker side within himself. It showcases the complexity and duality of human nature, exploring themes of ego, growth, and the consequences of power.
