What I Hear - 1738

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, you saw it coming: Fetty Wap's "1738" has already gained a reputation for being incomprehensible.  Your absurd author is here to try her hand at deciphering this mush of vocalization in her after-school, emotionally-burnt-out state.  Wish me luck, muahahah~!

In case if you're new and don't know the process behind a WIH, I simply listen to a song without knowing the original lyrics and write down what I think the vocalist is saying...with maybe a tiny bias of my own humorous intentions.  ;)

That said, BRACE YOURSELVES.  THIS ONE IS BRUTAL.

(Obligatory disclaimer necessary for the random butt-hurt visitors: I'm not disrespecting Fetty Wap or mocking ebonics or black culture in any way.  I have a ton of awesome African American friends, and hip-hop/rap is probably my favorite genre of music at this moment.  This WIH is entirely for entertainment purposes only.  If I want to make a social critique, I promise you: I'll do it to your face in a very blunt and lengthy satirical document.  :P)

Young land on the track

*I swear, I've listened to this song a dozen times, and I still have no idea what he's saying.  It's SOUP. HE'S SAYING SOUP, RIGHT?

*The Disney movie?  I guess?  XD  Is he just listing random items here?!

Write on!

Clove

P.S. Just looked up the original lyrics.  He's saying "zoo" not "soup", dangit.  XP

P.P.S. Ever since I got sick in November, I've been unfortunately suffering from some body chemistry difficulties: hormonal depression, lethargy, and other super fun stuff.  >.<  On the down side, school, work, and meeting with friends have been the worst, but, on the up side, I've gotten a lot of story writing done.  :)  I don't say this often, but look forward to it!  I'm pretty happy with the upcoming pieces I'll be publishing.  :)
