Atmosphere - Shhh lyrics

I wanted to make a song about where I'm from
You know
Big up my home town, my territory, my state
But I couldn't figure out much to brag about
Prince lives here, we got 10, 000 lakes
But wait the women are beautiful
To me they are and we're not infested with
Pretentious movie stars
And it hit me man, 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 is to diss no one, nowhere
Like damn, I'm from Minnesota
Land of the cold air
Too many mosquitoes and our
Fair share of egos
But like my man Sabe 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 space
The women outnumber the men two to one
Got parks and zoos and things
To do with my son
The nightlife 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 where they 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
That 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 wack
But as long as that's enough to
Keep your ass from coming back
And with a smile and a hint of sarcasm
He said i beg your pardon but this
Is my secret garden

All right in the land of ice and snow
Well okay in the land of ice and snow
Well all right in the land of ice and snow
Well okay
Minneapolis, Minneapolis, Minneapolis
Minneapolis

If the playground is clear
Of stems and syringes say shhh, say shhh
If there's only one store in
Your town that sells 12-inches
Say shhh, say shhh if no one in your crew
Walks around with a gun say shhh, say shhh
And if you ain't gonna leave cause
This is where you're from
Say shhh, say shhh
