Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fuck that petty change, bitch, drop me off some cheese
Down with Orange Mound, puss, dollar and the creepin' home
Down with Orange Mound, puss, dollar and the creepin' home
Its a fuckin' thunder, driveby stash and stuff
Its a fuckin' thunder, driveby stash and stuff
Tonk at the club, funky drop, talkin' 'bout yee
Tonk at the club, funky drop, talkin' 'bout yee
Some niggas be lookin' for the Cheerio, I'm looking for the cheese
Fuck that petty change, bitch, drop me off some cheese
Got to have some M in my dome
Call my niggas, got to make a motherfucker stank
Coke and wine, bricks and sticks
And straight out of South Memphis, mane
Down with Orange Mound, puss, dollar and the creepin' home
Its a fuckin' thunder
Driveby stash and stuff, they shot my phone
Fuck 'round a nigga, I'm catchin' a honkey-tonk at the club
Funky drop, talkin' 'bout "Yee-haw"
Droppin' off yo' ass, punk
Fuck 'round a nigga, I'm catchin' a honkey-tonk at the club
Funky drop, talkin' 'bout "Yee-haw"
Fuck that petty change, bitch, drop me off some cheese
Fuck that petty change, bitch, drop me off some cheese
Down with Orange Mound, puss, dollar and the creepin' home
Down with Orange Mound, puss, dollar and the creepin' home
The lyrics in KSLV's song "Lobotomy" hold several layers of meaning, revolving around themes of materialism, street life, and defiance against society's expectations. The repeated lines "Fuck that petty change, bitch, drop me off some cheese" signify a rejection of insignificant rewards or tokens and a demand for something more substantial, possibly money or respect. This could be a reflection of the artist's frustration with the frivolous nature of mere pocket change in comparison to the larger issues at hand.
The references to Orange Mound, a neighborhood in Memphis known for its history and culture, add a sense of locality and personal connection to the lyrics. The mention of "dollar and the creepin' home" suggests a familiarity with the streets and the challenges faced in this environment. The line "Its a fuckin' thunder, driveby stash and stuff" paints a vivid picture of the dangers and intensity of street life, hinting at a sense of urgency and vigilance required to navigate such circumstances.
The juxtaposition of seeking "cheese" over "Cheerio" in the line "Some niggas be lookin' for the Cheerio, I'm looking for the cheese" could symbolize a desire for success and wealth over mere satisfaction or contentment. The mention of M, coke, wine, bricks, and sticks portrays a gritty depiction of the struggles and temptations present in the urban landscape, while the pride in being "straight out of South Memphis" underscores a sense of identity and roots in the community.
Overall, "Lobotomy" by KSLV captures a raw and unapologetic portrayal of life in the streets, highlighting the hustle, the risks, and the defiance against societal norms.
