letra de minnesota mean - carnage the executioner

(chorus one)

i want to be heard
but…hopefully/
i won’t have to conform
just to make you notice me-
earned the respect i got
since the older teens/
why minnesota nice?
minnesota mean!-
no p-ssive-aggression
approachin’ thee/
confidence over self-degradation
grow, indeed-
repel status quo & lead
when ya’ know the scene/
to h-ll with minnesota nice! minnesota mean!-
(in about 4 seconds a born-elsewhere minnesotan will began to speak…)

(verse one)

roughly 15 years ago before i was a full-time dope verser/
i was having lunch with a
co-worker-
she asked if i was born in this…
snow we wallow in/
told her i was blown here by that
chicago wind-
said she had been here for just over
four years/
from chicago, too, and -ssumed i wasn’t born here-
when she saw a conflict between another employee/
as the subtle aggressor & i as the
trouble addressor-
she said my confrontational…
bolder traits evoke/
opposition to the nice
minnesota fake approach-
i told her, “even if considered in
ruder taste/
if i ever have somethin’ to say
i’m a say it to your face!”-
but, d-mn! this revelation was
quite astonishin’/
that’s when i learned minnesota nice ain’t always a compliment-
this accomplishment meant knowledge would not prevent/
calling it how i see it as a means of kyboshin’ it-

(chorus two)

i want to be heard
but…hopefully/
i can speak my mind
& it makes you notice me-
earned the respect i got
since the older teens/
not minnesota nice…
minnesota mean!-
no p-ssive-aggression
approachin’ thee/
confidence over self-degradation
grow, indeed-
repel status quo & lead
when ya’ know the scene/
you claim minnesota nice!
i’m minnesota mean!-
(in about 4 seconds an extremely-direct minnesotan will begin to speak…)

(verse two)

when you hear me speak about
bein’ mean in ya’ deck/
see it as less about anger
more about bein’ direct-
not compared to hard in cars
flickin’ me off as you sped by/
then makin’ sure we never
met eyes when at a red light-
no advocate of havin’ an opinion
& sugar-coatin’ it/
no showin’ a stoic
approach that is emotion-less-
strangers are surface-warm to
you in this cold state/
why do some professional males of color re-locate?-
…searchin’ for where they treat brothers great…can’t love a place/
where ya’ often subtly reminded you’re from the “other” race!-
…i’m proud of eloquence, “articulate” & “sound intelligent”/
but how white minnesotans point it out? grounds for questionin’!-
…rockin’ “my state’s better
than yours!” lanyards/
sn0bs with liberal-best-place-to-be-born standards-
greatest of places for raisin’ ya’ babies in…maybe then/
more amazing when your
caucasian & scandinavian!-

(chorus 3)
i want to be heard
but…hopefully/
my tell-it-like-it-is method
makes you notice me-
earned the respect i got
since the older teens/
never minnesota nice!
minnesota mean!-
no p-ssive-aggression
approachin’ thee/
confidence over self-degradation
grow, indeed-
repel status quo & lead
when ya’ know the scene/
y’all are minnesota nice
i’m minnesota mean!-
(in about 4 seconds a keenly-observant minnesotan will begin to speak…)

(last verse)

i live where there’s a biker flood…
got one but don’t ride it much/
can’t afford to shop at the wedge
hair not a hipster nicer cut-
they got my music, i know it’s
surprisin’ but/
they don’t play me much on the local current so i give up-
my sound is loud-in-your-face…maybe they don’t like the rough/
green living ain’t quite my stuff, maybe
my jeans ain’t
tight enough-
maybe i’m not handsome
i ain’t tryin’ or grindin’ drugs/
maybe it’s ‘cuz i don’t have that
skin-that-is-lighter luck-
but a lack of talent is not the
reason i ain’t large/
discount my experience…
say i’m pullin’ the race card-
clung to we’re oddly equal
as you’re supporting g-y marriage/
but…secretly hating
hmong & somali people!-
i barely have fans here…
why change to fit a duty/
of whiny riddles or edm to
try make ‘em listen to me?!-
don’t be a p-ssive
chump when ya’ know ya’ right!/
throw a fist & middle finger…
f-ck minnesota nice!!!-
