Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Aye Mr. Loaf...how you do that?)
Soft like Charmin, I used to use a Garmin (Yeah)
Now I know the streets, yeah we ridin' through Hardin (Fast)
Now I’m eatin' lunch, eatin' lunch in gardens (Eatin', yeah)
Talk behind my back, please don’t make me have to pardon
Y’all don’t see it yet, but my man I’m just startin' (Y’all don’t, yeah)
All aboard, yeah lil' man we departin' (Straight out)
I know some hearts are hardened, but please proceed with caution
I’m playin' defense, yeah I always stay guardin' (Yeah)
Everybody wanna hate on my team
They’re just mad cause we’re living our dreams
Now they’re runnin' 'round, clearin' the scene
They have no feelings like a metal machine (Stiff)
They’re just mad 'cause my facts are gleaned
The only color that I know is green (Money)
On a mission, if you know what I mean
They’re just hatin' 'cause I’m keepin' it clean
Shout-out Unexpected, we’re going up and down (Yeah)
'Cause when the time comes, no you won’t hear a sound (You won’t)
I hope you take it easy, yeah I might see you around (Yeah)
You’re always confused, like you’re in the Lost and Found (Straight up, straight up, straight up)
Soft like Charmin, I used to use a Garmin (Yeah)
Now I know the streets, yeah we ridin' through Hardin (Fast)
Now I’m eatin' lunch, eatin' lunch in gardens (Eatin', yeah)
Talk behind my back, please don’t make me have to pardon
Y’all don’t see it yet, but my man I’m just startin' (Y’all don’t, yeah)
All aboard, yeah lil' man we departin' (Straight out)
I know some hearts are hardened, but please proceed with caution
I’m playin' defense, yeah I always stay guardin' (Yeah)
'Bout to take a flight, flight 152 (Which one?, OK)
Please don’t try to board, if you still don’t have a clue (Don’t do it)
If you don’t like me then you’re rude
Circle small, just like your shoes (Ha)
I have a lotta things to do, so please don’t kill my mood
Drip talk comin' soon (Ayeee)
Shoutout that boy Aidan (Aidan, Aidan, Aidan)
'Cause when he’s in his bag, yeah he’s not the one to play with
Yeah we’ll cook you up like bacon, see you once and now we’re tracin' (Trace)
Catch us in the stu', yeah it’s only heat we’re makin' (Flame, flame, flame)
Soft like Charmin, I used to use a Garmin (Yeah)
Now I know the streets, yeah we ridin' through Hardin (Fast)
Now I’m eatin' lunch, eatin' lunch in gardens (Eatin', yeah)
Talk behind my back, please don’t make me have to pardon

I was at the Astoria in London one night in 1990, I was off my tit's and this tune came on, a stunning girl dancing in front of me turned around and gave me the biggest hug ever and said "I love this tune!" I'll never forget it as long as I live, I went to the clothing shop MASH the next weekend to pick up some tickets and guess who was in there! we arranged to meet at a rave the following weekend but I never saw her again... the tune brings back many memories for me.. all good ones :)

Thought you were gonna say and now we've been married 25 years lol! Good memories though mate.

@PetShopMod

l remember my older brother playing this in our living room blaring before he went out to the illegal Warehouse party's (Rave). He took me along with him when l turned 17yo and could not believe how different it sounded in that empty structure. l was hooked on raves from that day forward. The people l met at these early Warehouse party's definitely shaped my personality. l was the happiest i'd even been or since. l miss that little kid so much.
