[Missy - Rap]
Uhh, 1-2, hit me
Dag nigga, let me breathe
Let me know, what you need
Why you keep on, asking me
Where I go, and why I leave
Can I kick it, can I relax
Can I kick it, I be back
Can I kick it, what’s up with that
I know you mad, and that’s a fact

[Nicole - Verse One]
My man, he got an attitude, cause
He think I been messing ‘round, but
All I do is just sit at home, and
Wait until he return my call, and
Why is it that he don’t trust me
Is it that he’s the one messing up, see
I should be the one who’s questioning
Why my man is always asking

[Chorus (sung by Missy and Nicole)]
Where I been
Where I go
Who I’m with
Am I out , messing up
When will I, be back
Am I out, in the streets, doing stuff
(repeat x2)

[Nicole - Verse Two]
My man, he been acting crazy
He thinks I been changing lately
He thinks I been out here spotting
And if he ask me, I’ll tell him where I been
I been home just waiting, waiting
He been out just playing, playing
My man, he don’t want me to go nowhere
Then if I go, he needs to know

[Repeat CHORUS]

[Bridge {Missy} and Nicole]
Oooh, oooh {uh huh uh huh}
Oooh, oooh {uh huh uh huh}
Oooh, oooh, listen to me sing {and all the ladies say}
Oooh, oooh {uh huh uh huh}
Oooh, oooh {uh huh uh huh}
Oooh, oooh {uh huh uh huh}
Oooh, oooh {where I been}

[Repeat Chorus]

[Mocha - Rap]
You jokin’ right
Wanna grab this open mic
Peeps got you all hyped
Thinkin’ that you flowin’ tight
But you knew, that’s the way it had to be, baby
M-O-to the muthafucking-C-H-A
Must be crazy
Competing with ours
Broken out, your copper whip, that got too many miles
What you think, can’t even get the wheels on my ve-hi-cle
Any year, we in style
You ain’t here, we got power

[Missy - Spoken]
Yo, heheh, whatcha say
Missy (fucka fucked up now)
Nicole Wray (fucka fucked up now)
Mocha
Lenny
Gerard, you know my squad
Timbaland
Aaliyah
Ginuwine
Playa
Maganoo, how we do
Yo we out, 1-2

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."

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
