Personally, I think this song is about being stoned, and thinking about trying to talk to a girl. Well...The first verse, anyway. The 'green mind' could be one of two things; The "slacker" mentality, or sweet, stinky weed. The chorus is the narrator looking around, seeing that he doesn't want to chill with his friends, he wants to chill with the girl. The second chorus is the narrator (J, I guess) trying to decipher the gestures of the girl. He gets kind of confused, and tired of thinking of it all, and decides he'd rather "rot" than have to deal with that. The last part, before the final chorus, is the narrator realizing the girl is in conflict with his lifestyle. Then, it dives into the chorus, and ultimately tries to decide whether to change his ways for the girl, or "letting the plate split" (just laying his feelings on the line), and not having to deal with it. But, he ultimately decides that it'd be lame to go down without a fight, despite his confusion.
Yeah....For the record, I love the last chorus, and how he sings "I think it'd be kinda LAME to let it slide".
