Atmosphere - Shhh (instrumental) Lyrics
Such a pleasure to come homeCuz I...I have a very special love for this cityWell all right, well okay (x3)Well all right(x3)I wanted to make a song about where I'm fromYou know?Big up my home town, my territory, my stateBut, I couldn't figure out much to brag aboutPrince lives here, we got 10,000 lakesBut wait, the women are beautiful, to me they areAnd we're not infested with pretentious movie starsAnd it hit me, Minnesota is dopeIf only simply for not what we have but what we don'tIt's all fair, it ain't out there, it's in thereIt's in the mirror, behind the breast under the hairFollow the dream doesn't mean leave the loveRoam if you must, but come home when you've seen enoughI love New York and Cali, but I ain't movin'Too overpopulated saturated with humansAnd I'm not big on rappers, actors, or modelsIf I had to dip, I'd probably skip to ChicagoNone of this is to diss no one, nowhereLike damn, I'm from Minnesota, land of the cold airToo many mosquitoes and our fair share of egosBut like my man Sabe says, that's where my mommy staysChorus:So if the people laugh and giggle when you tell em where you liveSay shhh, say shhhAnd if you know this is where you wanna raise your kidsSay shhh, say shhhIf you're from the Midwest and it doesn't matter whereSay shhh, say shhhIf you can drink tap water and breathe the airSay shhh, say shhhGot trees and vegetation in the city I stayThe rent's in the mail and I can always find a parking spaceThe women outnumber the men two to oneGot parks and zoos and things to do with my sonThe nightlife ain't all that, but that's okayI don't need to be distracted by the devil every dayAnd the jobs ain't really too hard to findIn fact, you could have mine if you knew how to rhymeThis is for everyone around the planetThat wishes they were from somewhere other than where they standin'Don't take it for granted, instead take a look aroundQuit complaining and build something on that groundPlant something on that ground, dance and sleep on that groundGet on your hands and knees and watch the ants walk aroundthat ground Make a family, make magic, make a messTake the stress, feel your motivation and build your nestIt sucks that you think where I'm from is wackBut as long as that's enough to keep your ass from coming backAnd with a smile and a hint of sarcasm, he saidI beg your pardon but this is my secret garden?All right(In the land of ice and snow)Well okay(In the land of ice and snow)Well all right(In the land of ice and snow)Well okay(Minneapolis, Minneapolis, Minneapolis, Minneapolis)Repeat ChorusIf the playground is clear of stems and syringesSay shhh, say shhhIf there's only one store in your town that sells 12-inchesSay shhh, say shhhIf no one in your crew walks around with a gunSay shhh, say shhhAnd if you ain't gonna leave cause this is where you're fromSay shhh, say shhhWell alright, well okay (repeated in background)St. Cloud, MinnesotaMankato, MinnesotaDuluth, MinnesnowtaKansas CitySt Louis, MissouriColumbia, MissouriOshkosh, WisconsinMadisonMilwaukeeCincinnati, OhioColumbus, OhioBoulder, ColoradoLawrence, KansasTulsa, OklahomaSioux Falls, South DakotaAnn Arbor, MichiganIndianapolisSay shhh..Minneapolis (repeat to fade)
