So this has been.my favorite song of OTEP's since it came out in 2004, and I always thought it was a song about a child's narrative of suffering in an abusive Christian home. But now that I am revisiting the lyrics, I am seeing something totally new.
This song could be gospel of John but from the perspective of Jesus.
Jesus was NOT having a good time up to and during the crucifixion. Everyone in the known world at the time looked to him with fear, admiration or disgust and he was constantly being asked questions. He spoke in "verses, prophesies and curses". He had made an enemy of the state, and believed the world was increasingly wicked and fallen from grace, or that he was in the "mouth of madness".
The spine of atlas is the structure that allows the titan to hold the world up. Jesus challenged the state and in doing so became a celebrated resistance figure. It also made him public enemy #1.
All of this happened simply because he was doing his thing, not because of any agenda he had or strategy.
And then he gets scourged (storm of thorns)
There are some plot holes here but I think it's an interesting interpretation.
Two cups, pour me up a A
New drugs, do you wanna taste?
New girl, from around the way
New car, do you wanna race?
Why these niggas in my way?
High key, all these niggas lame
Nike, checkin' out the game
Cartier, all up on my frames
Everything's going my way
Everything's going my way
Everything's going my way
Everything's going my way
Everything's going my way
Everything's going my way
Running up the money, come and go
Every day I'm balling on my own
Remember, I don't wanna be alone
Now I gotta get it on my own
I ain't never ever going broke
I ain't ever lovin' on a hoe
Even though I'm sluttin' on the low
Bitches always frontin' on the low
I just wanna pull up in the Rolls
Always rocking pretty nigga clothes
Ksubi jeans with the VLONE
Always got Ksubi jeans on
Always got pinky rings on
Get the green, put the team on
Get the grin and put the team on
That's how that go
Double cup, get my lean on
Double cup, get my lean on
I'm in slow mo
Get the green, put the team on
Get the grin and put the team on
That's how that go
Double cup, get my lean on
Double cup, get my lean on
I'm in slow mo
Get the green, put the team on
Get the grin and put the team on
Two cups, pour me up a A
New drugs, do you wanna taste?
New girl, from around the way
New car, do you wanna race?
Why these niggas in my way?
High key, all these niggas lame
Nike, checkin' out the game
Cartier, all up on my frames
Everything's going my way
Everything's going my way
Everything's going my way
Everything's going my way
Everything's going my way
Everything's going my way
New drugs, do you wanna taste?
New girl, from around the way
New car, do you wanna race?
Why these niggas in my way?
High key, all these niggas lame
Nike, checkin' out the game
Cartier, all up on my frames
Everything's going my way
Everything's going my way
Everything's going my way
Everything's going my way
Everything's going my way
Everything's going my way
Running up the money, come and go
Every day I'm balling on my own
Remember, I don't wanna be alone
Now I gotta get it on my own
I ain't never ever going broke
I ain't ever lovin' on a hoe
Even though I'm sluttin' on the low
Bitches always frontin' on the low
I just wanna pull up in the Rolls
Always rocking pretty nigga clothes
