fuck yah

[@xavierdecker7266]

Fun fact: the clapping during the noise bit at the end is a recording of Jamie slapping himself in the face really hard. He talked about it in his drunk commentary of this album.

This song is incredibly terryfing and uncomfortable, transmits horror without very obvious about it, whiske listening to this i felt like i was being abused, and the feel of a power imbalance is properly transmited, great song,

[@gabrielmaffei7623]

it sounds so tender tho

This song genuinely scared the sh!t out of me as I listened to this cd while I was driving at night and that loud noisy bit at 2'06" came unexpected.

[@fiza5403]

reminds me of the guitar from my favorite song "all we ever wanted was everything" by bushas, so glad to hear that unique sound again

Have you ever heard Jamie's cover of that song? It's not my favorite of his covers but the second half goes hard.

[@mariamman]

[@agc2757]

Here's my interpretation:
[Verse 1]
You say I am loca
Because I am your girl
You say I am stupid
Because I am your girl
[Verse 2]
You leave me out on the steps
You dress me up like a boy
You say that I am your secret love
You say to be quiet but I want to tell the whole world
Pretty self explanatory, the girl is being abused and the partner is saying she should stay quiet about it as the partner is saying it's the girls fault for staying with him because he's abusive.
[Chorus]
I like my neighborhood
I like my gun
Drive in my little car
I am your girl and I will protect you
I like my neighborhood
I like my gun
Drive in my little car
I am your girl and I will protect you
The repetition makes it sound like it's being drilled into your head, but what if the girl is repeating it because her partner keeps saying it to her to make HER think that way?
[Verse 3]
We do it in the back of our little car
Pull up my pants and fix my bra
Go on home, go home to your kids
I'm not going to be quiet and I'm going to tell the whole block
The 2 have had sex, likely non-consensual and it's here the first gut punch comes in. The partner goes home to their children. He is not only cheating on his wife, but abusing his mistress. Seeing this the girl finally decides to tell the neighbourhood
This vocals sound out of tune/out of time until the noise section. When a cartoon characters TV is out of tune, they hit it. After this the song is in tune.
[Chorus]
I like my neighborhood
I like my gun
Drive in my little car
I am your girl and I will protect you
I like my neighborhood
I like my gun
Drive in my little car
I am your girl and I will protect you
The vocals are now in tune: The block didn't believe her and she was punished for lying. The Girl also sounds slightly happier here, having accepted this is now her life.

[@izsantiago7135]

It's about a lesbian abusive relationship

[@HaQebc]

i think this a fairly good interpretation

[@politicaltroll8920]

There was a movie in the early 90s about two Chola girls Mousey and Sad Girl in East LA called Mi Vida Loca. This song sounds similar to the plot, two friends date and get impregnated by the same guy, one has to deal drugs on the street and carry a gun to feed her kid.

[@bravelittlepod]

It's actually about a lesbian relationship

[@gluglu7639]

i kinda see it as a guy coming out as a girl to his girlfriend imo
