Box of Wheaties
Quelle Chris Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's a little bit groovy down here
Bah bam, boom, bam
My mother, God, I hate my mother
Pearls like fuckin' dinner plates, you know what I'm sayin?
I mean, they're so refractive
My uncle, he had an IROC in '86, before that
That's right he had the mark VIII with the white-walls there
Everybody else told him to get leather, he said, nah, you know, my bad back
I wanna be riding around in a plush velour suit
Plush velvet, I'm talkin' in the color of gunmetal grey, right
Now you're talkin' velour on velour
Hey yo, yo
I'm ballin y'all should put a nigga on a box of Wheaties
I'm skatin', when I dip, just put me on a box of Wheaties
I'll flip it for the (?) Put me on a box of Wheaties
Oh hold up, wait these haters need me on a box of Wheaties
I kick it, they should stick a nigga on a box of Wheaties
I run it, set 100 put me on a box of Wheaties
I pop off a bop huh put me on a box of Wheaties
I (?) Every day yo, put him on a box of Wheaties
I been on splash for eight and a half, feels Fellini
Back to back, I have no time for dancing off the TD
Peep my people, with me, like Kurt and GP
Can't see me, say, hard to be like a feedy (?)
Pinch him, broad work, get ya numbers up
Break up and fall, no chilling when I lit the summer up
Oh you know, now you best start acting like you owe me something
My brothers don't sleep and my sisters well don't hold me cause
This shit right here, this my year
Stepping off, feeling like the shit, my dear
Forget those fears, drip no tears
For the real, let me make it crystal clear
This shit right here, this my year
Stepping off, feeling like the shit, my dear
Forget those fears, drip no tears
For the real, let me make it crystal clear
'Cause I'm ballin y'all should put a nigga on a box of Wheaties
I'm skatin', when I dip, just put me on a box of Wheaties
I'll flip it for the (?) Put me on a box of Wheaties
Oh hold up, wait these haters need me on a box of Wheaties
I kick it, they should stick a nigga on a box of Wheaties
I run it, set 100 put me on a box of Wheaties
I pop off a bop huh put me on a box of Wheaties
I (?) Every day yo, put him on a box of Wheaties
Oh, fresh not
Since the rider requests masala and eggs
Some caviar and frission (?)

My bootstraps pull up
My walls do a 360
I got the shit that the government got
Yeah, you God damn right, God
Blood, tears, and bite marks
Fighting, sweating, must be heavy metal in the right, God
Not a Led Zeppelin in the sweat from goin' quite hard
According to this pie-chart I should be in a psych ward
I want the real nigga algorithm on the white board
They white-washed the style and put the rythym in some IZOD
It's close to four ciphers in a row
On the time bomb, I mean I'm fittin' to blow
I figured you should know
You might want to get a pic for posteriety with your Nikon
Before you hear obligatory ohs
This shit right here, this my year
Stepping off, feeling like the shit, my dear
Forget those fears, drip no tears
For the real, let me make it crystal clear
This shit right here, this my year
Stepping off, feeling like the shit, my dear
Forget those fears, drip no tears
For the real, let me make it crystal clear
Ooh, I know you wish you felt this high
But I'm telling you
No feeling knowing you're this fine
That's why they gotta put me on
I remember the first time I went to the motherland
We talkin' what, '73, '74? I remember we flew into Dakar
And this brother, picked me up from the airport
In one of them, you know, them Flintstone cars, you know?
One door on the muhfucka, four mismatchin' wheels
No headlights, we in Dakar and this brother ain't got no headlights
Every, and the brothers in the street, everybody about as black as the night
We go off into the abyss, take off, we talkin' bout 60-70 kilometers an hour
I don't know what that means, but, I know it was fast
We flyin', you know, we flyin' through the Dakar night
And I'm losin' my shit, you know, 'cause I can't tell where this brother going
We drivin' into the void, you know
And this motherfuckin man, you know, he just, laughin', you know
And only now, you know, at 67 years old, that I get it
You know? 'Cause now, I'm that car, you understand what I'm sayin'?
I'm that brother behind that, you know, Flintstone car, you know what I mean?
'Cause I got one door, I got one headlight, but I tell you what
I know how to drive that motherfucker, I know how to drive that motherfucker
I tell you that, you know?
You and your friends think you're bad
You've ended a life
Destroyed a family
Over a jacket, wheels, words
So who's next?
Your best friend, your sister, you?
Hey kids, get rid of your guns, before it's too late

My bootstraps pull up
I'm pulling myself up
My walls do a 360
My walls have turned all the way around
I got the shit that the government got
I have something as good as what the government has
Yeah, you God damn right, God
Yes, I'm correct, God
Blood, tears, and bite marks
There's blood, tears, and bite marks
Fighting, sweating, must be heavy metal in the right, God
Fighting and sweating so much it must feel like heavy metal to God
Not a Led Zeppelin in the sweat from goin' quite hard
Sweating from working hard but not sweating like Led Zeppelin
According to this pie-chart I should be in a psych ward
Based on this data, I probably belong in a psychiatric hospital
I want the real nigga algorithm on the white board
I want to figure out the real way to succeed
They white-washed the style and put the rythym in some IZOD
They appropriated a style and made it mainstream
It's close to four ciphers in a row
It's almost four zeros in a row
On the time bomb, I mean I'm fittin' to blow
I'm about to explode like a time bomb
I figured you should know
I thought you should be aware
You might want to get a pic for posteriarity with your Nikon
You should take a picture for the future with your Nikon

Before you hear everyone saying 'oh'
Ooh, I know you wish you felt this high
I know you wish you felt as good as I do
But I'm telling you
But let me tell you
No feeling knowing you're this fine
There's no feeling like knowing you're doing this well
That's why they gotta put me on
That's why I deserve to be put on something
I remember the first time I went to the motherland
I remember my first trip to Africa
We talkin' what, '73, '74? I remember we flew into Dakar
I think it was 1973 or 1974 when we flew to Dakar
And this brother, picked me up from the airport
A friend picked me up from the airport
In one of them, you know, them Flintstone cars, you know?
In a car that looked like it was from the Flintstones
One door on the muhfucka, four mismatchin' wheels
It only had one door and four different wheels
No headlights, we in Dakar and this brother ain't got no headlights
We didn't have headlights in Dakar
Every, and the brothers in the street, everybody about as black as the night
Everyone in the street was as black as the night
We go off into the abyss, take off, we talkin' bout 60-70 kilometers an hour
We drove off into the unknown at around 60-70 kilometers per hour
I don't know what that means, but, I know it was fast
I'm not sure what that speed is, but I know it's fast
We flyin', you know, we flyin' through the Dakar night
We were flying through the dark night in Dakar
And I'm losin' my shit, you know, 'cause I can't tell where this brother going
I'm getting worried because I don't know where we're headed
We drivin' into the void, you know
We're driving into the unknown
And this motherfuckin man, you know, he just, laughin', you know
The driver was laughing
And only now, you know, at 67 years old, that I get it
Only now, at 67, do I understand
You know? 'Cause now, I'm that car, you understand what I'm sayin'?
Now I'm the driver, do you understand?
I'm that brother behind that, you know, Flintstone car, you know what I mean?
I'm the one driving the old car now
I got one door, I got one headlight, but I tell you what
My car is a little run-down, but
I know how to drive that motherfucker, I know how to drive that motherfucker
I know how to handle that car
You and your friends think you're bad
You and your friends think you're tough
You've ended a life
You've killed someone
Destroyed a family
You've ruined a family
Over a jacket, wheels, words
Over material possessions or words
So who's next?
Who's the next target?
Your best friend, your sister, you?
Your best friend or sister might be next
Hey kids, get rid of your guns, before it's too late
Hey kids, get rid of your guns now before it's too late
