@hembrow@todon.eu 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?
