Nigga you heartless, you ain't heartless
You don't want no part in this, you ain't got it in ya
I'm born to be a sinner
As I move through these evil New York streets
Like grease and some kids get caught up
All up in the crime rate
Couldn't hold your nine straight when you was bustin'
Your whole clip and hittin' nothing

Your whole block on him, only two niggas got him
Came down fast
With the cash and the product
Caught you pants down with ya clothes off

A nigga never knows
A nigga never knows

You got your rhymes niggas? Bring 'em, we start that
It's concrete combat, where I'm at a crime covered city
Where there's no time for pity, we comin' from the village
Of the unprivileged, blood soaked bills through murder actions
Transactions all illegal, I smell the cheeb like a beagle
Evil stalks and lurks, dominate and do worse in my dwelling
Niggas filling shells and compelling to bust melons
We just bring to these fellas

These evil streets is rough
Ain't no one we can trust
Either roll with the rush or get rushed
'Cause all we got is us

These evil streets is rough
Ain't no one we can trust
Either roll with the rush or get rushed
'Cause all we got is us
These evil streets

Seen the world through the eyes of a nigga on the brink
Drugs got my brain fried making it hard to think
I'm trapped in these evil streets
Drivin' some scuffed up ragged down beat up past times
Some kid pulls up with chrome dimple guided rims
Now I'm thinking it's 3 in the A.M., I'm walking and he in a BM
Drop top 3, he don't even see me
Would you believe, he saw my gun in 3D

10 blocks later trying to work the CD
Spotted 15 on the BQE
'Cause ain't no way them pigs is baggin' me
And up a Sonsee we official nasty

For niggas that force the issue, my man'll toss the pistol
And of course I hit you, let that loss be with you
The more L's the higher, streets are fire
Make ice hearts in men, for worldly desire
Its the black attack born on the corner
Nigga grew up fast to get that looter ready to shoot 'er
And he do anything to achieve it, better believe it
Grew up in a band of thieves who retrieves the goods, stacking stacks

And pushing niggas shit back like they should
While we was gone, some shit undeveloped
Now parlay, sit back and watch armies swell up
Yeah, punk niggas

As we move through these evil streets
As we move through these evil streets
As we move through these evil streets
As we move through these evil streets

Only nigga that can kill me is the nigga in the mirror
But when I cup the mic and make my fighting words clearer
I'm naked without a gun it's like something is missing
That was my employer-when I ain't have a pot to piss in
So listen, keep a gun, even if it's not needed
Better that than to have none and to be in deep shit
We mold on niggas like Bacteria grows
Fools they lucky if they walk away with a black eye and a broken nose

Nigga, we kill niggas for Polo and Hilfigers
It's all for real ill niggas and steel figures
Ain't nothin' over here, won't be soft
Shit be jumping off on the rag
Don't beat me in the head with that, go head with that
I think back me in my mans rover
Rip out somebody's grandmother
Pulled out, the bitch ran for cover

Keep niggas guessin' with our face without expressions
For niggas stressin', I leave a lifetime impression
It shines like aggression when the flame comes out
Saw the 'bout, what you got, when your gang runs out
Shit's hot, you could get burned with heat
We take turns to sleep, you better learn the street
Knowledge, damn, you could get shot for 5 dollars
It's live wires with no signs of survivors

These evil streets is rough
Ain't no one we can trust
Either roll with the rush or get rushed
'Cause all we got is us

These evil streets is rough
Ain't no one we can trust
Either roll with the rush or get rushed
'Cause all we got is us
These evil streets

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.
