Okay can someone please explain 2 me what the meaning of the song Alphabet Street? I really love the song and everything and it is definately catchy and funky and whatever ..but what the hell is that song about?!

I think it's just a song about being in a positive place, "put the right letters together and make a better day." I don't think it's too much more complicated than that.

no no no! It's about oral sex. Listen again. (Of course, if that's your idea of being in a positive place, then yeah, that's what it's about, too.)

First verse:

I'm goin' down...
to Alphabet St.


It's about making the letters of the alphabet with your tongue during "the act."

i swear to God i was gonna ask the same thing. Now i read in another thread about how the "secret meaning" behind the song was something about taking a prostitute down to tennessee, letting her give you head, busting a nut on her, and then dropping her off or something like that i forget.

I could see P having a bad trip listening to The Black Album on ecstasy. He probably came up with this song because of it!
