    Fun fact: the clapping during the noise bit at the end is a recording of Jamie slapping himself in the face really hard. He talked about it in his drunk commentary of this album.

    This song is incredibly terryfing and uncomfortable, transmits horror without very obvious about it, whiske listening to this i felt like i was being abused, and the feel of a power imbalance is properly transmited, great song,

    This song genuinely scared the sh!t out of me as I listened to this cd while I was driving at night and that loud noisy bit at 2'06" came unexpected.

    You say I am loca
    Because I am your girl
    You say I am stupid
    Because I am your girl
    You leave me out on the steps
    You dress me up like a boy
    You say that I am your secret love
    You say to be quiet but I want to tell the whole world
    I like my neighborhood
    I like my gun
    Drive in my little car
    I am your girl and I will protect you
    I like my neighborhood
    I like my gun
    Drive in my little car
    I am your girl and I will protect you
    We do it in the back of our little car
    Pull up my pants and fix my bra
    Go on home, go home to your kids
    I'm not going to be quiet and I'm going to tell the whole block

    Here's my interpretation:
    [Verse 1]
    You say I am loca
    Because I am your girl
    You say I am stupid
    Because I am your girl
    [Verse 2]
    You leave me out on the steps
    You dress me up like a boy
    You say that I am your secret love
    You say to be quiet but I want to tell the whole world
    Pretty self explanatory, the girl is being abused and the partner is saying she should stay quiet about it as the partner is saying it's the girls fault for staying with him because he's abusive.
    [Chorus]
    I like my neighborhood
    I like my gun
    Drive in my little car
    I am your girl and I will protect you
    I like my neighborhood
    I like my gun
    Drive in my little car
    I am your girl and I will protect you
    The repetition makes it sound like it's being drilled into your head, but what if the girl is repeating it because her partner keeps saying it to her to make HER think that way?
    [Verse 3]
    We do it in the back of our little car
    Pull up my pants and fix my bra
    Go on home, go home to your kids
    I'm not going to be quiet and I'm going to tell the whole block
    The 2 have had sex, likely non-consensual and it's here the first gut punch comes in. The partner goes home to their children. He is not only cheating on his wife, but abusing his mistress. Seeing this the girl finally decides to tell the neighbourhood
    This vocals sound out of tune/out of time until the noise section. When a cartoon characters TV is out of tune, they hit it. After this the song is in tune.
    [Chorus]
    I like my neighborhood
    I like my gun
    Drive in my little car
    I am your girl and I will protect you
    I like my neighborhood
    I like my gun
    Drive in my little car
    I am your girl and I will protect you
    The vocals are now in tune: The block didn't believe her and she was punished for lying. The Girl also sounds slightly happier here, having accepted this is now her life.

      There was a movie in the early 90s about two Chola girls Mousey and Sad Girl in East LA called Mi Vida Loca. This song sounds similar to the plot, two friends date and get impregnated by the same guy, one has to deal drugs on the street and carry a gun to feed her kid.
