Scary Area Lyrics
Took a drive, to the hillside, suburban lawns.
A picket fence says, Cadillac says, I bought a home.
Now I'm a black man, in white man's land, no problem.
A white casper in every window looking like he's seen a spook.
Yeah, ( Hey, get out) and people talk like there goes the neighborhood. (Hey, get out)
House for sale signs in every front yard looks like tombstones.
I'm not a cracking thief for ever, what have I done?
as I'm walking down first street, the moon is full.
I'm hearing voices in all directions, and they say "who's haunting who?"
Yeah, ( Hey, get out) and people talk like there goes the neighborhood. (Hey, get out)
It's a super - scary - super scary area - scary - super scary area.
Took a drive, to the hillside, suburban lawns.
A picket fence says, Cadillac says, I bought a home.
Now I'm a black man, in white man's land, no problem.
A white casper in every window looking like he's seen a spook.
Yeah, ( Hey, get out) and people talk like there goes the neighborhood. (Hey, get out)
It's a super - scary - super scary area - scary - super scary area.
A picket fence says, Cadillac says, I bought a home.
Now I'm a black man, in white man's land, no problem.
A white casper in every window looking like he's seen a spook.
I'm not a cracking thief for ever, what have I done?
as I'm walking down first street, the moon is full.
I'm hearing voices in all directions, and they say "who's haunting who?"
A picket fence says, Cadillac says, I bought a home.
Now I'm a black man, in white man's land, no problem.
A white casper in every window looking like he's seen a spook.
Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
This song is from the Mighty Joe Young demo (Pre-STP, same members) and is obviously about a black man moving into a white neighborhood, and the white people reacting negatively.
if you need someone to explain to you the meaning of this song... then sorry your a fucking dumb piece of shit
