Pop a Pill
Tom MacDonald Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm gone they doubt it, I'm gone
Yeah

I ask god for a sign because
The road we on is
Downtown in LA and all I see is glowing neon
If you buy a dream from here you
Get a nightmare and a free one
This the city of angels but I
Still have yet to see one
Vancouver told me piss off
I found a cliff and now I pee on
All those fucking people showed love
Since I have been gone i been on my grizzy
Hella busy, champagne fizzy, fuck a grizzly
All my homies still bear arms out in the city
Hope you miss me, I don't miss you
Forgotten all the issues that you
Had with me when shit
Was way more simple and I'm thankful for it
I been blowing up, I swear I'm almost famous
And I don't hate you guys
But shit got complicated

She a pop a pill and started twistin'
She talk for days but I don't listen
(I don't listen) this shit reminds me of a
City that I laugh at
While I'm sippin' while we
Chillin' in the hills, pop a pill

Pop a pill you fucking losers
Man, I hope y'all overheat (Miami)
Pop a pill you fucking losers
(ha, you fucking losers)
I'm savin' all the water for me
This year I'm out it, this year I'm gone
Last year they doubt it, this year I'm on
This year I'm going to forget when I'm from
And then laugh in they face when
They ask me how come

I left home to get it right, am I wrong?
I put the city in my rearview
And told the fam I'm gone
The road to riches what I'm on
No sleep but I'm dream chasin'
And the only time I'm home now
Is when I'm on vacation
I'm a local constellation
Contemplating on a placement
Carolina state of mind and California
We done faced it
Don't hold your plate for cake if you
Weren't here to help me make it
You can suck my draggin' balls if
You mad at what I'm sayin', shit
I'm tryna get a crib in
The hills out in Beverly
Porsche in the yard
Playin' that motherfucking evergreen
White girl rollin' up my tree
I think her name was Bethany
I left y'all to stay the same
But still be a better me

Pop a pill pop a pill, need to chill
Pop a pill, play pretend on how you feel
Pop a pill, pull me up on the hill

Pop a pill you fucking losers
Man, I hope y'all overheat
Pop a pill you fucking losers
I'm savin' all the water for me
This year I'm out it, this year I'm gone
Last year they doubt it, this year I'm on
This year I'm going to forget when I'm from
And then laugh in they face when
They ask me how come
This year I'm out it, this year I'm gone
Last year they doubt it, this year I'm on
This year I'm going to forget when I'm from




And then laugh in they face when
They ask me how come

You made this Mom finally respect my 21 yr old son's Rap genre. Most I turn off since probably 2005, or put my buds in to drown his music out. He respects most genres, Attended everything from 3 day Raves in NYC to Rolling Stones, grew up respecting jazz, closest he ever came to Country tho is one of my favs so he puts up w/ him ( Kid🎶🖤😎💗💯✌🏽) but he Raps & Rocks so he can appreciate him. He grew up going to Jazz Fests & respects & plays regularly as well as Rap, Electric, ReMix, R&R, and his cuzzi is an opera singer & he even can respect that. Keep grinding out the YOU, your shit seems more REAL than the same Rap I used to refer to as cRap 💩 good vibes✌🏽💫🖤🎶keep it real💫
