Atmosphere Shh(slug) Lyrics

Shh(slug) Lyrics

i wanted to make a song about where im from
you know
big ups my
hometown
my territory
my state but, 
i couldnt figure out much to brag
about
well, prince lives here 
we got ten thousand lakes
but
wait
the women are beautiful
to me they are
and were not
infested
with pretentious movie stars
and it hit me man
minnesota is
dope
if only simply for not what we have
but what we dont
its all
fair
it aint out there
its in there
its in the mirror
behind the
breast
under the hair
follow the dream
doesn't mean leave the
love
roam if you must
but come home when you've seen enough
i love new
york and cali
but i aint movin
too over populated 
saturated with
humans
and im not big on rappers, actors, or models
if i had to dip
id
prolly skip to Chicago
None of this 
next to this
no one
no
where
like damn im from minnesota 
land of the cold air
too many
mesquitoes and a fair share of egos
but like my man Sabe says
thats where
my mommy stays

so if the people laugh and giggle when you tell em where
you live
say shh...say shh..
and if you know this is where you wanna
raise your kids 
say shh...say shh..
if your from the midwest and it
doesnt matter where 
say shh...say shh
if you can drink tap water and
breathe the air 
say shh...say shh...

Got trees and vegetation in the
City i stay
the rents in the mail
and i can always find a parking
space
the women out number the men two to one
got parks and zoo's and
things to do with my son
the night life aint all that
but thats ok
i
dont need to be distracted by the devil everyday
and the jobs aint really
hard to find
infact, you could have mine if you knew how to
rhyme

This is for everyone around the planet
that wishes they were
from somewhere other than where they're standin
dont take it for
granted
instead take a look around
quit complaing and build somthing on
that ground
plant somthing on that ground
dance and sleep on that
ground
get on your hands and knees and watch the ants walk around the
ground
make a family
make magic
make a mess
take the stress
fill
your motovation 
and build your nest
it sucks that you think where im from
is whack
but as long as thats enough to keep your ass from comin back
and
with a smile and a hint of sarcasim he says
I beg your pardon, but this is
my secret garden

In the land of ice and snow
In the land of ice and
snow
In the land of ice and snow

so if the people laugh and giggle
when you tell em where you live
say shh...say shh..
and if you know this
is where you wanna raise your kids 
say shh...say shh..
if your from the
midwest and it doesnt matter where 
say shh...say shh
if you can drink
tap water and breathe the air 
say shh...say shh...
if the playground is
clear of stems and syringes
say shh...say shh...
and if theres only one
store that sells twelve inches 
say shh...say shh...
if no one in your
crew walks with a gun
say shh...say shh...
and if you aint gonna leave
cause this is where your from
say shh... say shh...
