Wanted
Papa Sleep Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't really listen cause I just woke up
Can you give me just a minute I still think I'm choking on some drugs
Last night pretty tight I was bathing in the white
Smear it all across my mirrors
Bathroom always looking like my teeth
Used my rap sheet as some rolling paper
I was gonna pay my taxes but my fingertips are scorched
Demons in my head and they dancing to that country pop
Got lost on easy street this beat was too damn hard
How the hell I end up wanted
How the hell I end up wanted
How the hell I end up wanted
How the hell I end up wanted
Demons in my head and they dancing to that country pop
Got lost on easy street this beat was too damn hard
How the hell I end up wanted
How the hell I end up wanted
How the hell I end up wanted
How the hell I end up wanted
5 stars
Still wanted
Think I've gone too far
Too vetted
I just copped a new car
No payments
Big cap big bars
Still eatin'
Fbi black ties
Seen my face on primetime
Wonder why I'm in the clink
They're holding me for petty crimes
The second that you click the link
They follow till the end of times
Sending all the info overseas
To fund an evil drive
Demons in my head and they dancing to that country pop
Got lost on easy street this beat was too damn hard
How the hell I end up wanted
How the hell I end up wanted
How the hell I end up wanted
How the hell I end up wanted
Demons in my head and they dancing to that country pop
Got lost on easy street this beat was too damn hard
How the hell I end up wanted
How the hell I end up wanted
How the hell I end up wanted
How the hell I end up wanted
In Papa Sleep's song "Wanted," the lyrics portray a sense of confusion and disorientation. The opening lines indicate that someone is at the door claiming that the singer is wanted for something, but they don't pay much attention because they just woke up. The mention of choking on drugs suggests a state of intoxication or being under the influence, adding to the blurred consciousness of the situation. The mention of bathing in the white and using a rap sheet as rolling paper hints at a reckless and rebellious lifestyle.
The lyrics further describe the singer's experience of feeling lost and overwhelmed. They mention demons in their head, dancing to country pop music, which could symbolize the conflicting thoughts and emotions within their mind. The reference to getting lost on easy street and the beat being too hard suggests a struggle between their desire for a carefree life and the challenges they encounter.
The repeated question of how they ended up wanted expresses the singer's confusion and disbelief about their current circumstances. They also allude to being held for petty crimes and being followed until the end of times, possibly suggesting a constant surveillance or feeling trapped in a cycle of criminal activity. The mention of sending information overseas to fund an evil drive adds a sinister layer to the narrative.
Overall, "Wanted" explores themes of confusion, disorientation, and a disenchanted perception of the world. It depicts a protagonist struggling to understand how they found themselves in a situation where they are wanted and haunted by internal demons.
