its always the darkest before the sun rises
and you gotta stay strong for the kids and their eyes
and please dont despise and go against all brothers
and have a hatred your heart and take it out on another
i hate to sound Tupac-ish but mama you keep your head up
but your gonna make it I promise you keep your head up
and that, that dont kill you only makes you stronger
and the will to succeed only feed the hunger
for real, for real, for real,
(ha-haha-ha-ha)

(ha-haha-ha-ha)
n dey say ooh oooh ooh
i was at the gas station when a man walked past
with a sign: "will work for food, clothes or cash"
and he asked if he could pump my gas so i let him
clean the windshield and throw out the trash so i let him
hey i even asked the brotha his name,
where he was from, got kids, man, and what's they ages
he kinda stared for a second he kinda looked surprised
that anyone would even take an interest in his life
he said young brotha there the only words
I've heard in the last year wasn't "no" or "get the fuck away from here"
how could something so simple as general conversation
Mean much more than general conversation?
hey you could tell life had beaten him down
like he was in the title fight, and this might be his last round
sometimes the easiest things we take for granted
until theyre gone and realized we even had it
for real, for real, for real
(ha-haha-ha-ha)
hey ooh
n dey say ooh oooh ooh
(ha-haha-ha-ha)
n dey say ooh oooh ooh
i used to think that life had a plan for me
until i realized life had to be planned by me
see thats the key
i only deal with what i can see
cuz over history
mystery brought us nothing but misery
there are more people that died
in the name of the lord
that in any natural disaster, diesease or gang wars
before guns there was swords
and they was killing eachother
aint much changed to this day we still killing each other
killing our brothers while another mother cries for help
man we need to help a brother find himself
feed'em, light 1 2 3
hey theres something everybrother should see
and thats for real,
and thats for real,
and thats for real
hey ooh ooh ohh

No Surprises
Radiohead
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.
