Yellow Brick Alleyw
Violent J Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm alive man but don't know where the fuck I am
Damn I don't understand fantasy land
I'm looking out my kitchen window but I don't see the Sadan
I blocks some damn it's not the land I got the gothcha' rock for twenty spot
I think we outta Michigan the wind it must of put me farther
Seein' purple trees and yellow clouds is talking to each other
Maybe another dimension even a dimension talking trees
With information, work receiving, I got probation I can't be leaving
I'm thinkin' only what I'm needing, emergency needs
A sack of seventeen roaches and a O of regelo' weed
I'm standing on the porch I'm still denying this shit
I notice all these tiny little people hiddin' and shit
Its hundreds of 'em all starring at me, scared to they spots
I'm trippin'....?....everything they got be colorful with pokadots
They prolly don't like my raggedy' crack house on they land
I understand, but when I walked out and said wassup a party began

We don't know who you are and we don't really care
But ya' carnival clown ass is welcome here
Because you and that damn near abandoned house
Landed right on top of the wicket witch of the south

And we hated that wicket bitch so much, said, we hated that slutty hoe
(And we hated that slut)
And you crushed and killed that wicket bitch, we'll be grateful forever more

So my house landed right up on some neighborhood trick
Huh that's the shit huh look there go her feet sick huh
Dumb bitch I started playing it off
I seen her in the window so I was running around moving shit and aiming it so, you know
Anyway, how the fuck I'm getting home
(Don't worry see this yellow alleyway will get you home in a hurry
It leads to the wizard, the player, he's the pimpest of all
He'll get you any fucking thing you need)
In that case I'm dancin' with y'all

Take ya ass down the yellow brink road motherfucker
(Take ya ass down the yellow brink alleyway)
Take ya ass down the yellow brink road motherfucker
(Take ya ass down the yellow brink alleyway)
Take ya ass down the yellow brink road motherfucker
(Take ya ass down the yellow brink alleyway)
Take ya ass down the yellow brink road motherfucker
(Take ya ass down the yellow brink alleyway)
Take ya ass down the yellow brink road motherfucker
(Take ya ass down the yellow brink alleyway)
Take ya ass down the yellow brink road motherfucker
(Take ya ass down the yellow brink alleyway)
Take ya ass down the yellow brink road motherfucker
(Take ya ass down the yellow brink alleyway)




Take my ass down the yellow brick alleyway
They say, Take my ass down the yellow bricks

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Yellow Brick Alleyway" by Violent J describe a bewildered narrator who is lost in an unknown place that defies all logic. He is looking out of his kitchen window but he cannot find his car or his street, which prompts him to think that he is in another dimension. Everything around him seems unfamiliar: purple trees, yellow clouds, talking trees, tiny people hiding from him, and a house that crushed a witch. The singer is confused and scared, but he manages to play it off and has some fun with the tiny people who eventually invite him to a party. The lyrics suggest that the singer is either hallucinating, dreaming, or has landed in a fantastic world akin to Oz.


The song speaks to the theme of dislocation and disorientation, and it could be interpreted as a metaphor for the struggles that people face when they lose their bearings, either physically or psychologically. The singer's experience of being lost and seeing strange things is a metaphor for the state of mind when one is in a transitional period, such as moving to a new place, grieving a loss, or going through a life crisis. The lyrics suggest that even though the singer is scared and confused, he can still find joy and connection with others if he keeps an open mind and stays true to himself.

on Let It Go

"burn this whole shit down".... I'd strongly advise that get switched to "I'll burn this whole city down". When it's followed up.with "all of it" just makes more sense
