My room 3am
music blasting out of that system
Miller light in my hand
the only other thing I got is my problems
And when life starts pushing down
I just jack up that stereo
And leave this freakin' town

You know the sound don't belong to anyone
You can take it if you need it
Or just go it alone
There ain't nothing realer in this world
Than when mistress music takes control
And it just keeps pushing me forward

Sun rising through the blinds
Another night I left behind
Neighbors pounding on the wall
But I don't give a fuck at all
Turn it up and tune it out
There ain't no sense in listening
To something you don't care about

You know the sound don't belong to anyone
You don't have to justify it
You just take it if you want
And there ain't nothing purer in this world
Then when me and her
are just pushing across the floor.
And it just keeps pushing me forward
Forward into something better

    this song just reminds me of those times when you just want to get the hell out of where you are. music lets you forget all the problems "jack up that stereo and leave this freaking town". Listen to this as your driving real fast on the highway away from the problems.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
