Slacker, a person who shirks his work or duty
A person who evades military service in the wartime
Hehehehehe, I know one thing man
I'm gonna have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flame
Youknowhat'msayin?
Eat, drink, and be merry, tomorrow you may die
That's what life's about man, good times, a little salad
Haha

Yo yo
I'm a product of reganomics, neurotic
They sayin homage is gone up, inhaling chronic
The oddest I'm stayin' honest, I'm bout to make it famous
So you can take that J-O-be and you can shove it up your anus
I ain't never understood how the world works
But I always understood why the girls twerk
For a baller not a nine-to-five
Barely makin it with disgust behind ya eyes
So I just, grip my piece, rip off fleece
Out to take ya lip off chief, with my peeps
We ruthless, if you got money then deuce it
Goofs get toothless, with loose off two-fifths, we useless
I want to kick it but ain't got the dough
Sneak in the concert, trip and make 'em stop the show
We gots to go, push me and I sock the po'
Gettin' the bail from my parents is impossible

(I'm a slacker) never did I have a lotta dough
(I'm a slacker) smoking pot and watching videos
(I'm a slacker) go whichever way the wind blows
Those just tuning in, I'm just lettin' you know
(I'm a slacker) every time I take a look around
(I'm a slacker) stuck up on the faces around
I don't do enough, I just fool around
Y'all can go to hell, how does that sound?

Now you can tell from my everyday fits, I ain't rich
I sneak with a piece when I grit (grit)
I'm just another gatman caught up in the mix (mix)
Tryna take yo' dollar and yo' fifteen cents (I grind with a pistol)
I stay rid of you lames (y'all gay)
I play video games (all day)
When Kansas City, MO brands is a gritty slow game
We diddy-bop with really no change (y'all bang)
And people holla "How ya do dat dere"
"Why ya pants hanging low, and why you grew that hair?"
Lightin' a bleeze or with my people ridin a Regal
Always in trouble with coppers 'cause we drivin' illegal (drivin' illegal)
I ain't never givin' them lee-way to hear me nay
The judicial assembly's gay hey
I come out at night 'cause I sleep all day
Tryna get with Def Jam, Loud, or MCA

(I'm a slacker) never did I have a lotta dough
(I'm a slacker) smoking pot and watching videos
(I'm a slacker) go whichever way the wind blows
Those just tuning in, I'm just lettin' you know
(I'm a slacker) every time I take a look around
(I'm a slacker) stuck up on the faces around
I don't do enough, I just fool around
Y'all can go to hell, how does that sound?

Yo, yo, check
Enter the party and my homies got to pay for me
I look dazed, it just be another day for me
Gettin' drunk, hopin' I get to the crib safely
Pray for me, 'cause I'm needin' money majorly
Sit at home watchin MTV with a empty P-
O-see-K-E-T, I MP3 everything that I hear on the streets
Never buy it, don't deny it, I'm the fear I'ma be
You say get a job? I say hit a knob
'Cause the way you run the world is every bit a fraud
So what you askin' me? You get no tax from me
I got whites, natives, and Mexicans, and blacks with me
Huh, I'm tryna get up there with Master P
Pass the D, 'cause that's the way it has to be
We bust to be free, we trust to be G
So fuck who be glee, it sucks to be me

(I'm a slacker) never did I have a lotta dough
(I'm a slacker) smoking pot and watching videos
(I'm a slacker) go whichever way the wind blows
Those just tuning in, I'm just lettin' you know
(I'm a slacker) every time I take a look around
(I'm a slacker) stuck up on the faces around
I don't do enough, I just fool around
Y'all can go to hell, how does that sound?

(I'm a slacker) never did I have a lotta dough
(I'm a slacker) smoking pot and watching videos
(I'm a slacker) go whichever way the wind blows
Those just tuning in, I'm just lettin' you know
(I'm a slacker) every time I take a look around
(I'm a slacker) stuck up on the faces around
I don't do enough, I just fool around
Y'all can go to hell, how does that sound?

I'm a slacker (doo) I'm a slacker (doo-doo-doo-doo) yeah (doo-o)

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[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.

Dreamwalker
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.

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
