Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
[Verse 1: Dave East]
A hundred gold chains when I lay a rest
I need a hundred percents shit you take a rest
Pussy wet everytime we function make a mess
All these niggas go right figure I make a left
Designer everything like what to wear now
They never paid attention I can feel the stares now
Elevator broke we gotta take a staires now
I ain't trynna fight this mack ?[] down
Nine years from malbortion that my ex had
Look from it to a better future had a stress pass
In my opinion who they be calling the best is trash
I'm still out making sells catching the next cab
My father did five [?] and saw it dead
And now I'm twenty-five
You really like me know what's passed
He was BGF rob the bank wildin
Couple thousands for they [?]
Told me son don't waste your talent
[Hook: Dave East]
Black [?] with the black hoodie
I cry like a baby when they smash bully
I came up in projects when it's dark
On side nobody talking it ain't save around here
[Bridge: Dave East]
I did my dirt I'm not sorry
I cry like a baby when they locked Charlie
I don't trust nobody breathing
Got my name up in prison
Catch a case around here
[Verse 2: Dave East]
I was holding a smoke holding a cracks
Them niggas [?] on us you know my niggas going right back
I hate all of you niggas like Donald Sterling
Charm of a prince my [?] virgin
Luggage for a trip my bitch packed five [?]
I need this money now no wait is that urgent
My trap working I'm in the bridge
Talking business with my shooter
Call service had us know we had nine up in uber
I think jail everytime I eat tuna
Roll up each L's [?] sneaks puma
They through my case out december down in Baltimore
Bully in the same jail watch the phones you talking on
My nigga [?] said red bottoms he love walking on
I'm in rush I gotta go you niggas talking long
The east crazy better watch the block you parking on
Lord have mercy if they murk me
Man my heart live on
[Hook: Dave East]
Black [?] with the black hoodie
I cry like a baby when they smash bully
I came up in projects when it's dark
On side nobody talking it ain't save around here
A hundred gold chains when I lay a rest
I need a hundred percents shit you take a rest
Pussy wet everytime we function make a mess
All these niggas go right figure I make a left
Designer everything like what to wear now
They never paid attention I can feel the stares now

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
