About This Track

ProbCause and Chance the Rapper build this track around a remix of an original by Beijing-based electronic group Pet Conspiracy, with producer Drew Mantia crafting the instrumental foundation. The song unfolds as a meditation on altered perception, its hook cycling through hallucinatory imagery: purple skies, plastic grass, distorted sensory experience. ProbCause's verses move between euphoria and unease, finding clarity in a chemically-induced state whilst acknowledging the fragility of the moment. He name-checks the Beatles and Jefferson Airplane, anchoring the track in a lineage of psychedelic reference, before Chance arrives in the second verse with characteristic verbal scramble, his delivery fractured and restless against the hypnotic beat. The production sits in a liminal space between hip-hop and electronic music, the beat minimal and spacious enough to accommodate both rappers' contrasting approaches. Interspersed throughout are fragments of what sounds like a clinical voiceover describing drug administration, lending the whole thing an unsettling documentary quality. It's a song that treats its subject matter with genuine ambivalence: the rush is real, the beauty is real, but so is the paranoia threaded through the hook's repeated question of whether everyone is watching.

"LSD" is a track by ProbCause, from the album The Recipe Volume 2, released 1st July 2013. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

LSD

[Produced by Drew Mantia (making of the beat)]

[Intro: Pet Conspiracy]

Surround round round round

[Hook: Pet Conspiracy]

Purple sky is falling down

Lost fake trees

Sharp sounds scream in my ears

Plastic grass

Mouth, nose turned around

Nose look at my eyes.

Are they all look at me?

Are they following me?

[Intro]

The drug was administered in a drink of water

Given at the start of each day's exercise

25 minutes later, the first effects of the drug

Became apparent. The man began to relax

[Verse 1: ProbCause]

I'm lost

Take a walk to the lake to ease my mind and I wander off

Tryna get up in my own zone no I don't really want to talk

Laid back in the grass looking up at marshmallow clouds

And the sunshine loud but the tree give shade and I'm way too high

Wanna thank this day wanna make that point that it could've been great

Could've been bad, could've lost our way

But we still here and we just won't fade

See so clear when I'm in this place

Life is a drug so take a taste

Lucy Lucy Lucy in the sky with diamonds who I chase

Purple haze, purple hearts, Mellow Yellow, hello y'all

Electro Kool Aid cool me down

Strawberry fields where I make my rounds

Pick 'em off, eat them fresh

It's that life and I feel so blessed

I know there's stress, but I don't wanna hear that mess

This that nest and I feel the effects, yes

And I really wanna make this day go go forever

These revelations got me seeing life like I have never

So sublime, so just unwind and take this trip with me

There's something in the water here, lakefront crusin' on LSD

[Hook]

Purple sky is falling down

Lost fake trees

Sharp sounds scream in my ears

Plastic grass

Mouth, nose turned around

Nose look at my eyes

Are they all look at me?

Are they following me?

10 minutes later...

[Verse 2: Chance The Rapper]

Junkie loser, spunky Punky Brewster

Pockets chunky like they eating Harold's crunchy rooster

I'mma bungie jumper, just wish my knot was looser

Just wish my knots was not though, hang out, my nights in nooses

Na na na na hey hey hey goodbye Titans, get outta here

The god is here, Zeus I Love Lucy deuce me I'm outta spirits

And we outta beers, and my ears been tripping

I know some kids been dropping, I know your tears been dripping

I had an IEP, I'm supposed to be retarded

Now I'm all on the web, I had to Peter park it

Still steal from Neiman Marcus, I still get beats from Markus

I still get deep on records, that's just that Greek catharsis

Just when it seems the darkest, is when it usually peak

And when it seems the farthest, is when it's usually sweet

I only shop on Friday, that's when it's usually cheap

They said they used to old dudes, well that ain't usually me

[Outro (making of the outro beat)]

Y'all hello hello y'all

(Igh! Igh! Igh! Igh!)

(I'm tripping!)

Na na na na na na
