I'm chasing this money
You know ion never stop chasing my dream
I gotta go get it
You know dat I keep it a hunnid
Forever put on for my team

The singer has been for a walk outside and is feeling the effects of the cold and dreary weather. He imagines himself in LA, where he would be safe and warm, and dreams of his problems melting away.


The song also references a visit to a church, where the singer prays for some kind of relief. The preacher understands the singer's need for warmth and comfort and allows him to stay in the church, where he can continue to dream of a better life in California.

I first heard this in Santa Cruz, sitting on top of a seedy motel in the middle of the night, waiting to hear if I had an incurable disease. It helped.
