Me and everythin' around me, is unstable like Chernobyl
Ready to go at any moment, jumpin' like a pogo stick
Life never lived up to my expectations, so I accept the patience
Expect the worse but now I'm pacin', back and forth
Inside I'm meltin' like water on wicked witches
A monster truck done came and ran over my picket fences
I had the best of life in my clenches, but monkey wrenches was thrown
Like chairs kin's sit on, my prayers seem to long
I fall asleep before the endin', don't even get to say, "Amen"
I hope He understand I be on bended knees
At times, I think I'm crazy, then I say forget it
Or maybe it's the devil infiltratin' and like Riddick Bowe
I've been fightin' this since them fetus days
I count from one to twenty, when I'm through, repeat the phrase
It's just a phase, it's gon all pass, but that gets old too
I'm weakenin' like a deacon doin' dirt
What am I supposed to do?

Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh (planets, planets, stars, stars)
Uh uh uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh uh (Earth, Jupiter, Mars, Mars)
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh (hoes, clothes, cars, cars)
Uh uh uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh uh (it's who you are, you are)

See, from bed knobs to broomsticks, we lookin' to start some new shit
I'm writin' this rhyme in faith, so when you hear it, hope you true it
My nigga, you do it like swooshes, the lyrical cleanse and new sense
Wipin' away your germs and fillin' your craniums with juices
See Mo goes on, my slick flow flows on
Straight from west Savannah, Georgia, but the S.W.A.T.S. is my home
Never go wrong cause the click is tighter than gnat ass and that bad
Mosquito, now we goes, "I'm proud of you peoples
For sellin' your crack in sacks, I'm glad I'm white not black"
Shit, on the real, that's how them whiteys really act
When your back was turned, them slackers learned and now we fallin' apart
You lookin' me in my eye, but you ain't feelin' me in your heart
Yes, yes Lord, give me the power within the final hour
These niggas, they leavin' me stranded like Rapunzel in the tower
Now or never, let's stick together and overcome (come)
But they don't feel like marchin', 'cause they shoes is overrun
Ain't that a bitch

Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh (planets, planets, stars, stars)
Uh uh uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh uh (Earth, Jupiter, Mars, Mars)
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh (hoes, clothes, cars, cars)
Uh uh uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh uh (it's who you are, you are)

Planets (planets) stars (stars)
Earth, Jupiter, Mars (Mars)
Hoes, clothes, cars (cars)
It's who you are (you are)

Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh (planets, planets, stars, stars)
Uh uh uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh uh (Earth, Jupiter, Mars, Mars)
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh (hoes, clothes, cars, cars)
Uh uh uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh uh (it's who you are, you are)

Planets (planets) stars (stars)
Earth, Jupiter, Mars (Mars)
Hoes, clothes, cars (cars)
It's who you are (you are)

    "A monster truck done came and ran over my picket fences I had the best of life in my clinches but monkey wrenches was thrown Like chairs kings sit on, my prayers seem to long"

    Best damn visualization in a song EVER. I've felt the same way...at one point he had everything going his way including a girl/wife (picket fences) and it got demolished by a monster truck. He had the best of life in his clenches...

    I'm weakening like a deacon doin dirt

    Haha just caught this too, a shot out to a book most people read in high school, Nathaniel Hawthorne's Scarlet Letter.

    The deacon in a colonial community committed adultery with a woman he loved, and while she got branded with a scarlet A and basically ostracized from the community as a sinner, he couldn't tell and she wouldn't tell on him because she loved him.

    He starts breaking down physically under the weight of his sin and his guilt, even branding himself an A on his own chest. He ends up falling over dead as he reveals to the townfolk the truth in the end.

    Really can't believe I'm the first to comment here. This is arguably the best lyric performance on what is outkast's best multiplatinum album. I see the song as Andre and #BigBoi explaining there thoughts as life is moving quickly for them. The chorus is incredible for several reasons: Andre's simple chorus is perfect, he uses his voice as an instrument and fits perfectly with the poem being recited.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
