(Everybody on the floor) East Side
(Everybody on the floor) South Side
(Everybody on the floor) North Side
(Everybody on the floor) West Side
We told you we was gonna give it to you raw (everybody on the floor)
We ain't do it right the first time (everybody on the floor)
We gonna do it right the second time (everybody on the floor)
(Everybody on the floor)

You make me wanna throw my pager out the window
Tell MCI to cut the phone poles
Break my lease so I can move
'Cause you a bug a boo, a bug a boo (bug a boo)
I wanna put your number on the call block
Have AOL make my email stop
'Cause you a bug a boo (bug a boo)
You buggin' what? You buggin' who? You buggin' me (bug a boo)
And don't you see it ain't cool? (Bug a boo)

Come on, come on, come on
Yo, who's bugging who?
Destiny is coming through
Wyclef, Jerry Wonder
'Bout to hit why'all with the new groove

It's not hot
That you be callin' me, stressin' me
Pagin' my beeper, you're just non-stop
And it's not hot
That you be leavin' me messages
Every ten minutes and then you stop by
When I first met you, you were cool
But it was game you had me fooled
'Cause twenty minutes after I gave you my number
You already had my mailbox full

So what? Talking 'bout your "feeling you's"
So what? Never told you to buy me shoes
So what? Now you're rolling with an attitude
Plus the word on the streets is you're a bug a boo

You make me wanna throw my pager out the window
Tell MCI to cut the phone poles
Break my lease so I can move
'Cause you a bug a boo, a bug a boo (bug a boo)
I wanna put your number on the call block
Have AOL make my email stop
'Cause you a bug a boo (bug a boo)
You buggin' what? You buggin' who? You buggin' me (bug a boo)
And don't you see it ain't cool? (Bug a boo)

Come on, come on, come on
Yo, who's bugging who?
Destiny is coming through
Wyclef, Jerry Wonder
'Bout to hit why'all with the new groove

It's not hot
That when I'm blockin' your phone number
You call me from over your best friend's house
And it's not hot
That I can't even go out with my girlfriends
Without you trackin' me down (trackin' me down)
You need to chill out with that mess
'Cause you can't keep havin' me stressed
'Cause every time my phone rings it seems to be you
And I'm prayin' that it is someone else

So what? Ain't even like I knew you
So what? Tell your peoples I ain't feeling you
So what? Don't call me, I'll call you
'Cause cupid ain't shoot me, he shot you

You make me wanna throw my pager out the window
(Throw my pager out the window)
Tell MCI to cut the phone poles
Break my lease so I can move
'Cause you a bug a boo, a bug a boo (bug a boo)
I wanna put your number on the call block
Have AOL make my email stop
'Cause you a bug a boo (bug a boo)
You buggin' what? You buggin' who? You buggin' me (bug a boo)
And don't you see it ain't cool? (Bug a boo)

Yo Clef (what up? What up?)
We ain't heard from you in a while
So break it down for the chiren, Latin style

Destiny's Child remade uno
You wanna hate me now like Nas (ay, ay, ay)
'Cause you dos, tres, quartro
Thugs still in the dance
Ain't no need to bust you're AK
We all can get along or we can do it Carlito's Way
'Cause even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I fear no evil, got the Lord plus this Desert Eagle
Way before birth I had this whole book memorized
I roll with murderers that just got baptized
I be allowed to see through the eyes of Zion
The New Jerusalem, so sing the hook and stop buggin'

You make me wanna throw my pager out the window
Tell MCI to cut the phone poles
Break my lease so I can move
'Cause you a bug a boo, a bug a boo
I wanna put your number on the call block
Have AOL make my email stop
'Cause you a bug a boo
You buggin' what? You buggin' who? You buggin' me
And don't you see it ain't cool?

Ay yo
It's the Refugee Camp (camp)

    hehe i like rainbows attitude, reminds me of my own!! hehe but seriously, i think the word shes looking for is "theasarus" seems as thats the word which gives u different words instead of using another yet they have the same meaning, a dictionary would just extend your vo-cab whereas nessie is using words which mean the same thing and lead to the same conclusion! :)

Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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."

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
