Patrick Lanshaw, or Lil Wyte, is a member of the Memphis, Tennessee rap collective Hypnotize Camp Posse. Lil Wyte began his career with the all-white underground rap group Shelby Forest Clique. His first album Doubt Me Now, produced by DJ Paul & Juicy J of Three 6 Mafia, sold over 130,000 copies independently. The success from this album sparked interest with Warner Music Group which would result in a distribution deal for the Hypnotize Minds label and his second album, Phinally Phamous.
His first album had an underground hit, especially popular with the drug sub-culture, for the song about abusing prescription pills, "Oxy Cotton". So far, both of his albums have carried on a rap tradition of having a Smokin' Song (a song detailing smoking marijuana) included on them. His first release actually had a song titled "My Smokin' Song" on it. He expanded on this theme with his second album having a song named "My Drinking Song".
Acid
Lil Wyte Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Well I been trippin' for 10 hours on 3 hits of liquid microdot (I'm on acid - acid)
Gettin' chased around the car by some midgets in the parking lot (I'm on acid - acid)
Eatin' doritos through a tree, a million spiders after me (I'm on acid - acid)
I'm runnin' around havin' a fit, on myself I'm about ta shit (I'm on acid - acid)
[Lil' Wyte]
Can you imagine feelin' all calm then all of the sudden your fingers get numb?
where we at? and why we leavin?
Trees are shrinkin', turnin' plants ta roots and roots back inta seeds
And clouds are changin', comin' at me, different directions now I'm freakin'
Hoe's are rakin', body shakin'
Mane, I thought it was some crack
Called the fire department, told 'em I had a flame upon my back
This shit's crazy, plus enable, raisans dancing on the table
There's the horse, we got a horse, yeah we do and I seen the stable
Quit yo flaugin, I ain't flaugin
Got a beat in who ya talkin to
I'm talkin to you talkin to me
Listenin' 'cause I have you and I have to
Be kinda smart to even catch that
I might be trippin' but the pimpin' grippin' gatta spit that
With no expectancy I made a party from a robbery
Accidently, kicked and tripped the thief when he had ran by me
Fuck police, we gon' sanish this trick too well as the
50 shot of purple microdot you will be gone a week
[Chorus 2: Lil' Wyte]
20-20 vision blur and can't even feel the syrup (I'm on acid - acid)
I can smoke a pound of dro, drink myself unda the flo' (I'm on acid - acid)
Put the straw up ta your nose, take the blow straight ta your dome (I'm on acid - acid)
You passin' out in my front yard, throwin' up on Xanax bars (I'm on acid - acid)
[Lil' Wyte]
Well I wishin I was sober, feel the shit from head ta shoulders
This ain't even halfway over, it's the part I'm waitin ta show ya
Laughin' long time like hyenas, laughed a long time at vienas
In the can or out the can they still look like a can a penis
I'm the meanest, acid-takin, down-south-cracka on the mic
Change start crankin', gotcha thinkin', good trip gon' turn ta a fright
Bubble poppin, trails are watchin', foes done cross the fuckin' room
My dogs came in the den and made a mess and then that's for the broom
Now I'm 'Bouta hit the sack 'cause I can't take this shit no more
Relax my mind, take a deep breath and let my head sink in pillow
Take a seven hour nap, wake up seven minutes later
This the greatest drug the seventies is ever fucking gave us
Yes it's major don't be playin' - when you drop it will hit ya
If it's gel caps or liquid - microdots yes I'm wit'cha
And I'm flippin' cross the Roll, visual contact lightning globe
The space ship I'm flying landed in the Bay - I have ta go
[Chorus 3: Lil' Wyte]
By now, I'm weak in some pain and my body's feelin drained (I'm on acid - acid)
Comin' down off of my trip and my skin's abouta rip (I'm on acid - acid)
I'll prolly sleep till Thursday and it's only Sunday (I'm on acid - acid)
Wakin' up on that Thursday to have another Saturday (I'm on acid - acid)
The song 'Acid' by Lil Wyte is a description of the artist's experience under the influence of the drug LSD. The chorus repeatedly asserts that Wyte is on acid and describes the hallucinations and erratic behavior he experiences. In the first verse, he paints an image of being chased by imaginary figures in a parking lot while eating Doritos beside a tree infested with spiders. He then proceeds to describe other mind-bending experiences he undergoes such as fingers going numb, tree trunks turning into roots, and clouds coming at him from different directions. He ends the verse by explaining how a party was inadvertently started because of a robbery.
The second verse picks up from the first, and he talks about hallucinating that cans of Vienna sausages look like penises while he laughs uncontrollably like a hyena. He goes on to say that at one point, he was convinced that he was the meanest person under the influence of acid. As the trip comes to an end, his body feels drained, and his skin is about to rip. He estimates that he may sleep until Thursday, despite it being only Sunday, and talks about waking up to enjoy another Saturday.
