Suburban life, the American dream.
Suburban life, so pretty and clean.
Suburban life aint what it seems,

The Big "A" little "A" bouncin "B".
The system got you but it won't get me

The Big "A" little "A" bouncin "B".
The system got you but it won't get me

Now my pops bought the system, American dreamer.
Bought a new home and a brand new beamer.
But it didn't take long for things to fall apart,
Because the system that he bought aint got no heart.
>From the bills for days he got bloodshot eyes.
The American dream was a pack of lies.
6 months later, municipal court, divorce time baby, Child Support

I went from home cooked meals to TV dinners,
No more lil Steven, now Saint Dog the sinner,
No cash back cause cuz there is no receipt man,
Suburban life aint gonna die for me,

Suburban life aint what it seems.
Suburban life, the American dream.
Suburban life, so pretty and clean.
Suburban life aint what it seems,

Big "A" little "A" bouncin "B".
The system got you but it won't get me

Big "A" little "A" bouncin "B".
The system got you but it won't get me

He's in a little demon to the 3rd degree,
Mo drugs, White thugs and wanna be's,
Soldiers of the burbs all guilty see,
America! Land of the Grand,
You got problems well I got mine too,
There's not enough bud for the kottonmouth crew.
Cause when we smoke we smoke to get away,
To elevate from this world of hate,
Not to perpetrate,
I don't want notarickas Selling herbs on the blocks on every street,
No real jobs for the p-t-p's So what's it gonna be? White minority. C'Mon!

Suburban life aint what it seems.
Suburban life, the American dream.
Suburban life, so pretty and clean.
Suburban life aint what it seems,

The Big "A" little "A" bouncin "B".
The system got you but it won't get me

The Big "A" little "A" bouncin "B".
The system got you but it won't get me

Now broken home's inside every house,
Neighbors yelling, can't work it out,
I said beaten wives tweaked out nights,
Ooh what a feeling, ooh what a life,
Well ya can't turn back the hands of time,
So let me tell ya bout a fly-ass friend of mine,
It's Bobby B, King of the crop,
Deep dark purse. Phat drop top,
Philly blunt placed behind his ear,
2 turntables and a Heineken beer,
And this is just an every day thang,
Kottonmouth Kings, Telephone rings!
It's X and you know he's rollin with Saint Dog.
Leapin like some frogs, truck for the hogs,
Trunk for the snakes, Stage boxin rakes,
What ever we could get we was gonna take!
Just like the pirates of the Caribbean,
Neighborhood watch don't like what they seeing,
Ha ha ha we got it like that,
Kottonmouth rollin' deep,
Get your surfboard waxed,
C'mon!

Suburban life aint what it seems.
Suburban life, the American dream.
Suburban life, so pretty and clean.
Suburban life aint what it seems,

The Big "A" little "A" bouncin "B".
The system got you but it won't get me

The Big "A" little "A" bouncin "B".
The system got you but it won't get me

Suburban life aint what it seems.
Suburban life, the American dream.
Suburban life, so pretty and clean.
Suburban life aint what it seems,

Crack the System!

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
