Lonely is the only top, parachute meI'm comin' back down
Upchurch's song "Parachute" is a song about the dangers of success and the pressures it brings, making someone feel lonely and detached from the world around them. The singer feels like he is outgrowing his current life, and he is on the verge of selling everything he has to buy something that reflects his current state of mind. He is looking for a place that resembles his innermost feelings of loneliness, where he can belong to something, and the sound associated with his idol Dale Earnhardt reminds him of it. Thus, he is in the middle of nowhere, where he feels alive.
The song is a critique of mainstream rap culture, where people have certain expectations from rappers to behave in a particular way. Upchurch suggests that he is bulletproof to these expectations and is, therefore, free to explore his creativity. He believes that his mental approach is exceptional, and his focus is what enables him to be successful. He challenges his listeners to relate to his feelings and become free from any labels or expectations that society puts on us.
Lonely is the only top, parachute meFeeling isolated is the only way to feel at the top. I'm seeking help.
God dang, everyone comin' at my throat nowEveryone is coming at me aggressively and it's frustrating.
I'm 'bout to sell all my real estateI'm going to sell everything I own because none of it matters.
Who need a three million dollar house?Why have a big expensive house if it doesn't bring me happiness?
Who need a whole damn car collection that goes back to 1948?Why collect cars from the past if I'm not living in the present?
I'ma buy a trailer park and put Earnhardt flags in every single window paneI'll buy a trailer park and decorate it with flags to create a sense of community.
My Chevy from a galaxy nobody's human eye can seeI have a car that's out of this world and impossible to see with our eyes.
And I get pulled over by UFO's, moon-rocks in the seatI get pulled over by aliens and have moon rocks in my car.
A hundred years from now I'll be cruisin' in the cloudsIn a hundred years, I'll be in a better place, but for now, I'm struggling.
Ain't walked into their party yet 'cause I'm from a distance only here to watchI'm not ready to be a part of mainstream society just yet, I prefer to observe from a distance.
I'm bulletproof to y'all cyberspace, not co-dependent on a record labelI'm resilient to criticism online and don't rely on a record label for validation.
I beat the game, they know I did, check these missed calls from these millionairesI've succeeded in the music industry and now have wealthy investors trying to contact me.
The top is no place for me, ohI don't belong at the top, it's not where I find happiness.
I've seen it through a scope when they don't knowI've seen the top from a distance, but others don't see it the way I do.
Yeah, the bottom's where the party's atBeing at the bottom can be fun too, you just have to know how to enjoy it.
Where I can roll up super fatI can smoke a lot of weed without worrying about judgement at the bottom.
Get baked in random parkin' lotsI can smoke weed wherever I want, even in parking lots.
Mainstream can't even handle thisMainstream culture can't relate to my lifestyle or my music.
I'm good cannabis when you ain't smoked no good since '96My music is like good weed that people haven't heard since the 90s.
And I stay rollin' up like I'm 2Pac ShakurI smoke weed like 2Pac did and embrace his rebellious spirit.
Lightin' up the Biggie Smalls, conspiracy theories in the bluntI smoke weed and talk about conspiracy theories while listening to Biggie Smalls.
