Atmosphere Seven's travels Lyrics

I wanted to make a song about where I'm from
You know big up, my hometown, my territory, my state
But, I couldn't figure out much to brag about
Well, Prince lives here, we've got 10,000 lakes
But wait, the women are beautiful, to me they are
And we're not infested with pretentious movie stars
Then it hit me, Minnesota is dope
If only simply for not what we have, but what we don't
It's all fair, it ain't out there, it's in there
It's in the mirror behind the breast, under the hair

"Follow the dream" doesn't mean leave the love
Roam if you must, but come home when you've seen enough
I love New York and Cali, but I ain't moving
Too overpopulated, saturated with humans
And I'm not big on rappers, actors, or models
If I had to dip I'd probably skip to Chicago

None of this, this or this, no one, no where
Like d___ I'm from Minnesota, land of the cold air
Too many mosquitoes and a fair share of egos
But, like my man Sabby says,
"That's where my mommy stays"

So, if the people laugh and giggle when you tell them where you live
Say "Shhh!" Say "Shhh!"
And, if you know this is where you want to raise your kids
Say "Shhh!" Say "Shhh!"
If you're from the Midwest, and it doesn't matter where
Say "Shhh!" Say "Shhh!"
If you can drink tap water and breathe the air
Say "Shhh!" Say "Shhh!"

Got trees and vegetation in the city I stay
The rent's in the mail, and I can always find a parking s___e
The women outnumber the men two to one
Got parks and zoos, and things to do with my son
The night life ain't all that, but that's okay
I don't need to be distracted by the devil every day
And the jobs ain't really too hard to find
In fact, you could have mine if you knew how to rhyme

This is for everyone around the planet
That wishes they were from somewhere
Other than were they're standing
Don't take it for granted
Instead take a look around
Quit complaining and build something on that ground
Plant something on that ground
Dance and sleep on that ground
Get on your hands and knees and watch the ants walk around the ground
Make a family, make magic, make a mess
Take the stress, feel your motivation, and build your nest

It sucks that you think where I'm from is whack
But as long as that's enough to keep your a__ from coming back
And, with a smile and a hint of sarcasm he said,
"I beg your pardon, but this is my secret garden"

(Alright, well okay, well alright, well okay)
(In the land of ice and snow 3x)
(Minneapolis, Minneapolis, Minneapolis)
