LSD
ProbCause feat. Chance the Rapper Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Reminds me of oceans, though I've never known one
I'm born by a cold one
It's only a small one compared
To the coast, I prefer it to most
I like water that don't burn my eyes when they open
I won't let you get inside
My city like my skin, it's so pretty
You gotta love me like I love the lake
You wanna love me, better love the lake
You gotta love me like I love the lake
You wanna love me, better love the lake
You didn't think I really had it like that
You ain't think we really had it like that
You didn't think I really had it like that
Matter fact, we can swim in it
I know you wanna get in it
Get on the highway, highway, baby
You'll get in my way, my way, baby
See, we can fly away, fly away, baby
And we don't ever leave the ground
No, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
This here ain't for no Vice doc
This here ain't for no Spike op
But since I was one like a cyclops
I run up some stairs on a bike cop
I shake up some hands on the right block
Block club president, night watch
My niggas was real when the mic dropped
I put 'em in my will like a bike lock
Got family in Gary and STL, I got cousins in Milwaukee
I got family in Detroit and ATL, I got an auntie that steal our Wii
We the number one gentrified
Run inside, gimme my land, the new Chi tits' perky
Face lift and makeshift spaces
Invest the rest in a number 25 Knicks jersey
Grass is greener in Pasadena or Catalina by the water
Where the overlap between bullet holes and backpacks couldn't be farther
And I'm supposed to father my daughter?
But she the princess in the dragon's lair
I'm a dragon slayer, I can't fly away
To some hideaway, I gotta find a way
Get on the highway, highway, baby
You'll get in my way, my way, baby
See, we can fly away, fly away, baby
And we don't ever leave the ground
No, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
I will never leave you
I'm everything you made me
Even when you break me down
The water always saves me
I could never leave you
I'm only what you make me
Even though you break my heart
The water's gonna save me
The lyrics of ProbCause feat. Chance the Rapper's song Lsd are metaphorical and showcase how the artist is seeking an escape from his current reality. The first verse talks about the artist having a body of water inside him that reminds him of oceans, despite never having seen one. This represents the artist's desire to escape and experience something new. He talks about the water being a cold one and small compared to the coast, but he prefers it to most. This symbolizes the artist's preference for something humble but authentic as opposed to something grand and fake. He talks about how his city is pretty, like his skin, and the listener should love him like he loves the lake.
In the chorus, the artist emphasizes how important it is for the listener to love him like he loves the lake. His feelings for the lake are not just about the beauty of the water, but about how it saves him. The water is a place for him to escape and find solace. He talks about how he can never leave the listener, but the water will always save him. The latter part emphasizes that the artist has a strong emotional connection with the water, something that is essential for his survival.
The second verse talks about the challenges in the artist's life. He talks about growing up in a tough neighborhood, where his friends were real, and they supported him through his music. He mentions how negative his environment is and how gentrified his neighborhood has become. The artist contrasts his past and present, where once the neighborhood was full of bullet holes, and now it is full of backpacks. He repeats the chorus at the end, emphasizing how important the water is for his sanity.

Similar to the Greek mythological figure Cyclops
I run up some stairs on a bike cop

Grass is greener in Pasadena or Catalina by the water
Some places are more desirable than others
Where the overlap between bullet holes and backpacks couldn't be farther
There's a clear difference between violence and education
I will never leave you
I will always be with you
I'm everything you made me
I am who I am because of you
Even when you break me down
Even when you hurt me
The water always saves me
Water has always been my savior
I could never leave you
I could never abandon you
I'm only what you make me
I am a product of your influence
Even though you break my heart
Even when you hurt me deeply
The water's gonna save me
Water will continue to be my refuge

2020 and this still SLAPS I miss the old Chance🙏🏾
@keith819
I think Chance got too woke for his own good.
Acid Rap is his best tape,
@tywallace7867
@Keith haha so true I miss old chance
@BTAKVE
Chance's ability to find dope beats and have a perfect flow to it may be the craziest I have ever heard in life. The more of his stuff I find the more I am amazed by his creative talent and lyricism.
@davidjones8043
His lyrics suck, this beat blows and his flow is choppy and whack AF
@mathewjay3428
This beat is a nightmare
@keahnbruzzi8423
This gives me so much nostalgia from the time that I tripped acid. <3
