This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Good evening, This is Los Angelos
A lonely teenage daydream
Of things I just might be
A surreal kind of thinking
Keeps on drifting in on me
My twisted body is lifeless
Not so their twisted minds
Peace through power their motto
Power through peace their crime
Product of our environment (x8)
Maybe one day they will legalize weed
In the year TWO "G" the planet could be deceased
We plead to the fleece while we're beggin' on our knees
In our hometown Cali with bears and green trees
Birds and the bees, hot sand on the beach
Shells in the sea and I'm living in peace
Like a dog on a leash locked up with no key
I gotta smoke under cover, Motherfuck the police
Yeah, see the matching hand and they're robbing from the hat
The laws an illusion to symbolize that
Putting us in jail for the with us living tax tax
I can see the wires in the levitating act
I can hear the lies and they're calling them facts
I can see the bars and they're lookin all cracked
I read between the lines but the lines are all crap
I can feel the knife turning in my back
How would life be if the world smoked weed?
Guaranteed there'd be peace not greed
See, it's hell
Living in a cell
Legalize the plant only time will tell
How would life be if the world smoked weed?
Guaranteed there'd be peace not greed
See, it's hell
Living in a cell
Legalize the plant only time will tell
You are a sacred being of light
Projected into reality for a purpose
Demand the right to your moment
In this holographic gift with no rules, no borders
Except for those who you choose to accept and live by
Abolish government is nothing to me
Forget about god, he's not here to see
We live by a system, a perfect mold
People perfect people who are poor and old
Lies were spent on a sad defense
They said we're lookin for a method in this world ???
Presidents are named
Presidents are labeled highest man on the government table
America, land of the free
Free to the power of the people in uniform (x2)
How would life be if the world smoked weed?
Guaranteed there'd be peace not greed
See, it's hell
Living in a cell
Legalize the plant only time will tell
How would life be if the world smoked weed?
Guaranteed there'd be peace not greed
See, it's hell
Living in a cell
Legalize the plant only time will tell
Society, fuck it!
I've had enough!
The system's full of crooks, straight up corrupt
You look like a decoy bobbing like a duck
And your money keeps em smokin on a BC Bluff
You're caught up in the headlights of my V-Dub bus
TSOL and the Kings about to even things up
Your birds will take all the air out the sky
Bring em down to our level
You can work, can't hide
Product of our environment (x8)
A lonely teenage daydream
Of things I just might be
A surreal kind of thinking
Keeps on drifting in on me
My twisted body is lifeless
Not so their twisted minds
Peace through power their motto
Power through peace their crime
The government keeps our control over the population
While the schools teach the kids restricted education
Murder, Rape, Sex, and Underage prostitution
They got the war on pot, they got the wrong solution
I wake and I bake, nowhere to escape
Livin' life in a tank they invade my space
Betrayed full of hate while they're shootin all blanks
Society's lost in a paranoid state
It's the illusion of ownership, It's take what you can get
The banks are the loan sharks and everyone's in debt
And if you get ahead how quickly you forget
You're hanging from a burning rope without a safety net
They tax you when you sell
They tax you when you buy
They take half when you live
Then they take half when you die
These are the lies that they are stating as facts
I can see the wires of the levitating act
How would life be if the world smoked weed?
Guaranteed there'd be peace not greed
See, it's hell
Living in a cell
Legalize the plant only time will tell
How would life be if the world smoked weed?
Guaranteed there'd be peace not greed
See, it's hell
Living in a cell
Legalize the plant only time will tell
I'm glad that I can read
I'm glad that I can write
I read their fuckin bullshit
Every single night
When off in my head went a little fuckin light
It told me what was wrong it told me what was right
World bank-Power and control
Issuing the money and they're dollin' out the roles
Charging what they want to with the money, the control
Living in their nightmare, giving them your soul!
A lonely teenage daydream
Of things I just might be
A surreal kind of thinking
Keeps on drifting in on me
My twisted body is lifeless
Not so their twisted minds
Peace through power their motto
Power through peace their crime
Product of our environment (x8)

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.

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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
kottonmouth kings arent horror-core rap they are all about weed and other various drugs but mostly weed. granted they have done stuff in the past with horrorcore groups like icp and stuff like that but they themselves are all about making good music to toke to.
