Ladies and gentleman (ladies and gentleman)
This is a Jazze Phizzle (Phizzle, Phizzle)
Productshizzle, woah, woah
Missy (Missy)
The princess is here (she's here)
Ciara!

This beat is
Automatic, supersonic, hypnotic, funky fresh (ha)
Work my body, so melodic, this beat goes right through my chest (yup)
Everybody, ma and papi, came to party, grab somebody
Work ya body, work ya body
Let me see you one, two step (here we go)

Rock it, don't stop it
Everybody get on the floor
Crank the party up
We about to get it on
Let me see you one, two step
I love it when you one, two step
Everybody one, two step
We about to get it on

This beat is
Outrageous, so contagious, make you crave it
Jazze made it (ha)
So retarded, top-charted, ever since the day I started
Strut my stuff, and yes, I flaunt it
Goodies make the boys jump on it (ha)
No, I can't control myself
Now let me do my one, two step (come on)

Rock it, don't stop it
Everybody get on the floor
Crank the party up
We about to get it on
Let me see you one, two step
I love it when you one, two step
Everybody one, two step
We about to get it on

We gon' drop it like this (ooh-wee)

It don't matter to me, we can dance slow (ladies and gentleman)
Whichever way the beat drops, our bodies will sow (I like this)
So swing it over here Mr. DJ (hey, hey)
And we will, we will, rock you, oh
It don't matter to me (yeah), we can dance slow (dance slow)
Whichever way the beat drops (yeah-yeah), our bodies will go (go)
So swing it over here Mr. Dj (ladies and gentleman)
And we will, we will, rock you

(Let's shake)
I shake it like Jello, make the boys say hello
'Cause they know I'm rockin' the beat (uh)
I know you heard about a lot of great MC's
But they ain't got nothin' on me
Because I'm five foot two, I wanna dance with you
And I'm sophisticated fun
I eat filet mignon and I'm nice and young
Best believe I'm number one (woo)

Rock it, don't stop it
Everybody get on the floor
Crank the party up (woo)
We about to get it on (come on)
Let me see you one, two step
I love it when you one, two step
Everybody one, two step
We about to get it on

Rock it, don't stop it
Everybody get on the floor
Crank the party up
We about to get it on
Let me see you one, two step
I love it when you one, two step
Everybody one, two step
We about to get it on

This is for the hearing impaired

    I think when she says "shake it like Jello" she is referring to Jello Biafra of the Dead Kennedys.

    I don't think she's referring to the Dead Kennedys... it's a pure hip hop / pop song...

    I used to think the part that goes "strut my stuff and yes I flaunt it" was actually "strut my stuff and yes I farted".

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.

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."

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

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.
