Drowning in the gray cell
To dwell in earthly hell
A pimp warrior fell
One-two, Sir Lucious "L"
Left Foot in the motherfuckin' booth
Lucious (Lucious)
Sir Lucious Left Foot has just entered

Might as well have fun 'cause your happiness is done when your goose is cooked
Might as well have fun 'cause your happiness is done when your goose is cooked
Might as well have fun 'cause your happiness is done when your goose is cooked
Might as well have fun 'cause your happiness is done when your goose is cooked

First rule in this thing, never let 'em see you sweat!
Never let 'em be a threat and your feelings you must protect 'em
As well as your rectum, must keep self out of harm, out of danger's way
Let strangers play while you graduate and move on

True happiness is not acquired and you won't find it for sale
Unless you're in jail and trying to get a bail bondsman to go on and post that bail
You would be happy as hell
You thought you were happy until that court day came
Couldn't afford that case, nobody to take your place, family Hummers at stake
Too late to escape and you're on the run

Might as well have fun 'cause your happiness is done when your goose is cooked
Might as well have fun 'cause your happiness is done when your goose is cooked
Might as well have fun 'cause your happiness is done when your goose is cooked
Might as well have fun 'cause your happiness is done when your goose is cooked

Once upon a rhyme, one time when I was a child (flip that smile upside down now)
When I found out that Santa Claus was nothing more than Vanilli
It was silly, 'cause my mom and pop, they worked for every penny
Didn't have many, but had enough to get by, enough to get fly

Only to start the new year off in debt
Now you forget your happiness came and went like mom and dad's relationship
Take a trip, you bring potato chips, I'll bring the hot sauce

Might as well have fun 'cause your happiness is done when your goose is cooked
Might as well have fun 'cause your happiness is done when your goose is cooked
Might as well have fun 'cause your happiness is done when your goose is cooked
Might as well have fun 'cause your happiness is done when your goose is cooked

1979, Dirty South, Local lounge (flip that smile upside down now)
I never thought that alcohol could ease the notion of the sadness
Now what used to be a happy home done turned into some bad shit
Graphic language, mild violence and the silence of the fams

No members to remember but I know just who I am
I've grown into a man and like my nigga said we executed the game plan
'Cause we got that (hot sauce)

Might as well have fun 'cause your happiness is done when your goose is cooked
Might as well have fun 'cause your happiness is done when your goose is cooked
Might as well have fun 'cause your happiness is done when your goose is cooked
Might as well have fun 'cause your happiness is done when your goose is cooked (flip that smile upside down now)
Might as well have fun 'cause your happiness is done when your goose is cooked
Might as well have fun 'cause your happiness is done when your goose is cooked (flip that smile upside down now)
Might as well have fun 'cause your happiness is done when your goose is cooked
Might as well have fun 'cause your happiness is done when your goose is cooked (flip that smile upside down now)

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"

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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
