Thinkin' About You
J. Spencer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where the fuck we at now?
A big ass yellow, and green,
And purple, and faggot ass pink mushroom field
Damn
Let's eat some of these bitches
Man I never did before, but since we in Oz and all
That's what I'm saying
Well let's at least walk while we eat, come on
[Chorus: x2]
Thoughts fly away in the mushroom field
Randomly telling what's revealed
Filling my pockets cause they worth a meal
And the kingdom's over them hills
Let me go ahead and eat a few of these things
See if I can't hang
What you thinkin' about?
Cigarettes, menthol only
To grow old with my kids and homies
All the years on that pole so lonely
And all them crows shittin' on me
What you thinkin' about?
Makin' payments on the Batmobile
With the phat sound system and 32 inch wheels
Everybody on the yellow brick jocking
Well I'm just snapping real slow
What you thinkin' about?
Nate The Mack, my homie from way back
Everybody got a homie like that
In fact, I hope he okay
I hope his momma doing good
(You should call him)
Maybe I should
What you thinkin' about?
Caddies
Sittin' on triple gold daytons
Sun shining on 'em and they sparkle up the pavement
People wanna catch a glimpse and show respect
Now I'm the king
Ruler over everything
What you thinkin' about?
A fine bitch and some weed to smoke
I gotta have a little bit of puss to poke
(You ain't no joke)
A fat bag of dro and a hoe
And that's all you really need to know
What you thinking about?
Titties
They come in all shapes and sizes
Each bitch with they own surprises
And if they only had on they back when hitting doggy
You can suck on that
What you thinking about?
Shit, finishing off my Megos set
And making that small dream an accomplishment
So I can find a new hobby like collecting skin
Never removed from the package all mint
What you thinkin' about?
Bitches
That's what I'm thinking about
They clothes so tight
Ass and titties lookin' so right
Stacks of cash and all kinds of tropical hash
And hittin' blunts till my last
Now what you thinkin' about?
Blaze Ya Dead Homie
(Who ya dead who?)
Who ya dead who?
Where I'm from that's cool
Anyway, I'm just wondering when it's Colton shit droppin'?
I'm tryin' to get my gold six hoping
What you thinking about?
Whatchin' my favorite wrestling pay-per-views
On a 100 foot screen
Televison tube
With the fast forward button
I can fly past the jobbers while eating pizza getting fat
What you thinking about?
Wizard, I really hope he's there
And he can help J get the fuck outta here
(I hear what you're saying crow, Tin what you think?)
(Man he better have some drinks)
What you thinkin' about?
What I'm thinkin' about, going home
And it's down this path we roam
Come on
[Chorus: x4]
There it is y'all
We made it
You ready to go in?
First tell us, why do you wanna go home anyway?
Yeah, why don't you just stay with us
In this fantasy ass fantasy land?
The song "Thinkin' About You" by J. Spencer describes a journey through a mushroom field in a fantasy land. The opening lines express gratitude for being alive and suggest that the characters may be under the influence of hallucinogens. The chorus speaks of thoughts floating away in the mushroom field and filling pockets with valuable things. The verses reflect the individual thoughts and musings of the characters, ranging from aspirations of owning a Batmobile with a phat sound system to making payments on a set of Caddies to finding a new hobby like collecting skin. The dialogue between the characters and the references to pop culture, such as wrestling pay-per-views and a Gold Six, further emphasize the trip-like quality of the song.
The overarching theme of the song seems to be the desire to escape reality and enter a world of fantasy, even if only temporarily. The characters' thoughts are focused on material possessions, sexual desires, and recreational pursuits, all of which serve as a form of escapism. However, the final lines suggest that the characters may not be fully committed to their fantasy and may long for the real world.

I'm just happy we alive in this bitch
I am happy that we are alive in this place
Where the fuck we at now?
I have no idea where we are
A big ass yellow, and green,
And purple, and faggot ass pink mushroom field
Damn
I see a large mushroom field with bright colors and it's amazing
Well fuck it, let's go
Let's go explore the mushroom field
Let's eat some of these bitches
Man I never did before, but since we in Oz and all
That's what I'm saying
Well let's at least walk while we eat, come on
Let's eat some mushrooms while we walk through the field, even though I've never done this before, we're in Oz, so why not?
[Chorus: x2]
Thoughts fly away in the mushroom field
Randomly telling what's revealed
Filling my pockets cause they worth a meal
And the kingdom's over them hills
While walking and eating mushrooms, my thoughts wander and I pick some to eat later. I imagine a kingdom beyond the hills
Let me go ahead and eat a few of these things
See if I can't hang
What you thinkin' about?
Let me try eating more mushrooms and see if I can handle it. What are you thinking about?
Cigarettes, menthol only

And all them crows shittin' on me

I think about smoking menthol cigarettes and growing old with my family and friends after many years of feeling alone and being misunderstood. The crows that have pooped on me remind me of my struggles

And it's down this path we roam
Come on
I am thinking about going home, and I see a path to follow. Let's go.

Yeah, why don't you just stay with us
In this fantasy ass fantasy land?
Before we leave, tell us why you want to go home. Why not stay with us in this unreal fantasy land?

I loooovvvveeeee this song!!! I remember playing this on repeat during my junior year at eastern Michigan university in 1998. I cried so hard to read about J's passing. I didn't know until this summer. He was a major influence on my poetry and now my paintings. I have seizures and I paint what I hear. I have 6 paintings to J's music. Great musician gone too soon but will never be forgotten

@Everyday Signings real talk he's been dead for a long time since 2005 I remember the first time I met Jay Spencer Oakland California at Jeffrey's Inner Circle downtown Oakland they were having a audition and when the music director asked me what song would I be singing tonight.?? And I said I don't know? Music director said k a s i m you never know what song you going to sing. And I said.? Be cool Berry Gordy. Everybody who was there started laughing that was the best memory I have of the late saxophonist Oakland finest J Spencer. And I have a song with v e l l q w a n 17 rounds name of the CD I'm The Only singer k a s i m. So smooth. Also he have a song with the legendary Master P you don't know me. He changes name to v e l l i o n e. If you Google up the word it would mention something about the legendary Tupac Shakur. Yep. And Tupac is my best friend friend rap name the gov. From Oakland California and I am Tupac Shakur inspiration. A song from Alice Myers if you play your cards right. I know I should be in the real Tupac movie with my friends like the gov p o o h man a n t banks Keyshia Cole too short Ray love MC man father Dom two scoops. All the people I know that should be in the real Tupac movie 200% authentic

I remember the first time I met J Spencer in Oakland California at Geoffrey's Inner Circle downtown Oakland there were having auditioning. And I remember the music director ask me what song would I be singing tonight and I said I don't know and he told me man kasim you never know what song you want to sing? And I told him be cool Berry Gordy.? Everybody who was there was cracking up J Spencer was on the floor laughing. Also my best friend is Tupac's best friend rap name the governor from Oakland California I can't make this s*** up yep everyday I said like damn right now want to write a book and tell how I met Tupac it was Tupac's inspiration two songs. Right now I wonder if John Singleton's brother still alive because I met him on the set of poetic justice movie with film downtown Oakland California because my friend the governor AKA Joseph flowers imprison for kidnapping dr. Dre's daughter over contract dispute the last time I saw him was in 2000 I wonder if he ever going to get parole because even people kill people when they get out may take a long time but eventually get out. I know he got to be writing a book
