Here's an interpretation of the poem titled "2142," reflecting the gritty, raw essence of growing up in a particular area:

Fifty bucks will get you fucked up: This line suggests the economic reality or the cost of escapism where a small amount of money can buy you a way to forget or get high, setting the tone for a life where substance use might be a common escape.

Street songs just another bong you don’t know the caution of the wrong’d: Here, "street songs" might refer to the life lessons or narratives learned from the streets, equating them to the same old story of drug use (bong), with a warning about not recognizing the dangers or the consequences of living the wrong way.

Life has another dimension freehold fuck you red ink: This could imply that there's more to life than the current reality, perhaps a desire for freedom or ownership ("freehold"), but also an acknowledgment of debt or financial struggle ("red ink"). The "fuck you" might reflect frustration or defiance against this situation.

Now i’ll leave you telling how all the things i said i didn’t mean: This speaks to regret or the complexity of relationships where words spoken in the heat of the moment or under influence might not reflect true feelings.

I love you man but I hate you all the same: A poignant reflection on the duality of emotions in close relationships, where love and hate can coexist, perhaps due to ongoing conflicts or personal struggles.

Hands down light is seen from the shadows I’ll tell you what it means to me it’s what i need to be: Suggests a personal philosophy or revelation where one finds clarity or purpose ("light") in dark times ("shadows"). This could be about finding oneself or understanding one's path through adversity.

Car park to car park three feet high i’m stepping down i lost my crown: This line symbolizes the physical height in a car, being high on drugs, and also stands for one's self-belief and societal status. "Stepping down" signifies giving up on ambitions, leading to the loss of one's "crown," or personal defeat

Educated fool smoking sativa let’s see what your made of: There's irony here, where education seems to have led to folly or dissatisfaction, turning to marijuana ("sativa") as a way to cope or escape, challenging the listener or reader to prove their worth or resilience in such a setting.

The poem paints a picture of life in a specific locale, enriching the poem's narrative on life in "2142," by struggle, substance use, complex relationships, and a search for meaning or identity within that context. It's a narrative of contradictions, where love and hate, ambition and resignation, wisdom and folly all dance together under the shadow of one's environment, intertwining the physical with the psychological and emotional states influenced by substance use.
