@hembrow @AdrianRiskin I do find myself thinking about this poem from time to time
@hembrow
What's going on with this lyric?
>The man just upped my rent last night
>Cause whitey's on the moon
"Cause" where other versions of that line have "but" or "while".
And again:
>I wonder why he's upping me?
>Cause whitey's on the moon?
Why would whitey being on the moon be a cause or reason of his rent being upped?
