"...postulates that the young male singer is seeking Heaven, and ultimate connection to God."
OK, maybe that’s what he REALLY wants, although I’m not sure he knows it. What it SOUNDS to me like the singer really is seeking is a romp in the sack at an out of the way place. That’s not necessarily evident from the words alone, but the music seems to steer the meaning in that direction.
Now, if You’re looking for transcendent longing for God in recent music, who could fail to point out the poignant, lilting rap lines from the up-and-coming WhackDog:
I gotta gun gotta run
and put lead in yo whacked head for fun.
U dissin’ me is hissin’ me.
My blood’s boilin’
my .45’s recoilin’.
Gotta drive to the house
gonna eat a mouse.
Thinkin’ ’bout puttin’ on a blouse.
Yo man i make two words rhyme -gimme a dime
Feed me till my next crime.
Got about fifty words total in my mind.
Cant read cant spell but dont need no commas in hell.
Thats where we are.
Was gonna live in hevn but i fell.
got twenty wimn got no bride.
used ‘m up till they all cried.
Gave em crack but one died.
They stand in line to see me but I got my pride.
Got 23 inch rims on my ride.
Got dirt in my head
Carry it to my grave for when I’m dead.
Maybe stay all day in bed long as i get fed.
It’s dark outside my bros lied then they died.
It’s dark inside I’m inside out.
U owe me cuz U got what shiny I want.
Obama take it from yo mama
give it to me.
Turn this country into Botswana.
This world whack’ gonna take it back
put it in my sack.
Forgot what i was sayin
just need another gold chain.
-it’s business.
Don’t need the truth
i got three gold tooth.
;)
