Scram C Baby Lyrics

and kingsize is erected shame
gentlemen, I am not amused
why should you regret a minor crime
all was due to exolated time
kimberly is a stupid name
and jc is about the same
In the song "Exolation" by Scram C Baby, the lyrics contain a mix of playful sarcasm and personal reflections. The opening line, "hot lips need me more than ever," suggests a certain level of desire or attraction towards the singer. This could be interpreted as the singer feeling desired or sought after, perhaps by someone they have a complicated relationship with.
The following line, "kingsize is erected shame," could be seen as a metaphor for a grandiose and excessive lifestyle that brings about feelings of shame or emptiness. It suggests that the singer is not impressed by material wealth or superficial displays of power. They may be critiquing a societal obsession with material success and the shallowness it can breed.
The chorus, "gentlemen, I am not amused, why should you regret a minor crime, all was due to exolated time," expresses a sense of detachment and indifference towards conventional societal expectations and judgments. The singer refuses to be impressed or amused by what others find significant or condemnable. They assert that any perceived wrongdoings are a result of an elevated state of being or consciousness, referred to as "exolated time." This could imply that the singer sees their actions as justified and beyond conventional moral assessments.
The final lines, "kimberly is a stupid name, and jc is about the same," could be interpreted as dismissive remarks directed towards specific individuals, suggesting a disdain for those who conform to societal norms or expectations. It may serve as a commentary on the singer's desire to distance themselves from people who they perceive as lacking originality or individuality.
