Not from here im extraterrestrial
Cant talk much these boys be federal
Try so hard jus to get on my level
Cant get on my level
Just left Cali Im smoking medical
No I do not wait on miracles
Foot on pedal
Bitch I love to dope pedal
Big opps bury them go get the shovel
Burberry horns when I dance with the devil
Fill em with Led Zeppelin thats the metal
No I wont settle

Pop him like corn thats the kettle
Oh he's a jolly good fellow
She got a surgery now its like Jello
Im like Kurt Angel I want the gold medal
I make her hit a falsetto
She want a ring that bitch like Carmelo
Run it up get out the ghetto
Run it up get out the motherfucking ghetto
Better better better
Got my bread up now they fed up
Better better better
Got my bread up now they fed up
I keet up professional
Not from here im extraterrestrial
Cant talk much these boys be federal
Try so hard jus to get on my level
Cant get on my level
Just left Cali Im smoking medical
No I do not wait on miracles
Foot on pedal
I love to dope pedal
Bitch I love to dope pedal
The lyrics of G.O.S’s song “E.T” convey a sense of being different and not fitting in with society. The comparison to an extra-terrestrial emphasizes this feeling of estrangement. The verse “I guess all you know is my aliases all” suggests that the artist feels misunderstood and under-appreciated. The line “I’m in the basement havin’ dangerous typa thoughts” may denote a sense of isolation and anxiousness. The following line “I took the hand that I was dealt and made a house outta cards” suggests perseverance and a willingness to overcome adversity. This idea of self-generated success is further emphasized in the line “you can’t compare me to anyone.”
As the song progresses, the theme of feeling like an outsider is continued. The repetition of “like I don’t belong” reinforces this sense of isolation. The inclusion of the phrase “the Martian” and references to science fiction further highlight this feeling of being out of place. The verse “All I do is fall back, smoke kush and keep seeds, swallow ‘em with some water, cut myself and bleed weed” could suggest self-medication as a way of coping with these feelings of displacement.
On the whole, “E.T” is a song that conveys a sense of not fitting in to society, of being misunderstood and under-appreciated.
