Homophobes Are Just Pissed ‘Cause They Can’t Get Laid - Propagandhi

“Homophobes Are Just Pissed ‘Cause They Can’t Get Laid” is a song written about homophobes. In the song, Propaghandi directly addresses homophobic people. “Homophobes Are Just Pissed ‘Cause They Can’t Get Laid” is a song that is hopeful for the future where there is no queerphobia: “I hope I live to see the day, When your sexually-repressed hatred, Is finally washed away”

The song also invites homophobic people to question their views.

It seems that you're trying to

Prove it to yourself

Build up the fences

You're just like everybody else

These lyrics call homophobia into question: why are people homophobic? Propagandhi suggests that it is because they are trying to assimilate to societies heterosexual norms. This implies that people may even be queer themselves if they broke down the walls of heteronormativity.

“Codeine Dreaming”

“Codeine Dreaming” by Kodack Black featuring Lil Wayne discusses the high associated with codeine, also known as purple drank, syrup or sizzurp. Black and Wayne’s lyrics join the feelings of codeine highs and visions of space exploration: “Codeine dreams and they come true too/ That’s my spaceship, brp brp/My milky way got pregnant, she said it’s for you.” “Codeine Dreaming” also follows the running theme of associating prescription drugs with a luxury lifestyle. Lil Wayne is a notorious codeine user and references codeine in several songs such as “I Feel Like Dying” where Wayne’s hook is “Only once the drugs are done/ Do I feel like dying, I feel like dying.” In “Codeine Dreaming” Wayne compares codeine with caviar: “Got the codeine on my breath, it smell like caviar, yeah/ Codeine dreams and they come true too.” Of course codeine does not smell like caviar, rather Wayne is equating the drug with a luxury delicacy. Kodack Black has a peculiar lyric on this song regarding his son: “I know my son gon’ like this song so I ain’t finna curse.” While “Codeine Dreaming” lives up to Black’s promise to omit curse words, the song discusses drug abuse in a positive light. This lyric in “Codeine Dreaming” suggests that drug abuse is more normalized and acceptable than cursing.
