In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Let's plan a robbery (a robbery, let's go)
Let's plan a robbery (a robbery)
Let's plan a robbery (a robbery, let's go)
Let's plan a robbery (a robbery)
See I was on the North, North side in the projects Cutterfield
And that where the the dope dealer nigga really live
See they sold crack, and they sold weed too
They specialize in cooking up the dope, fool
To get it out, so the junkies can smoke too
But me my nigga, I been smoking out you
And you, and you, 'cause y'all been cutting up, dude
I think I'mma gonna have to touch your ass with the tool
It's easy come, easy go, y'all know the rule
HCP motherfucker, you know I'll cut loose
And if you got it, I'mma have to touch you
Like knocking on your door and holler, "Trick-or-treat, fool"
It's hard here, motherfucker, don't let the side choose
A robbery to a murdery, that's cool
So any way that you want it, I got you
It's one the hard way, nigga, so fuck you
Let's plan a robbery (a robbery, let's go)
Let's plan a robbery (a robbery)
Let's plan a robbery (a robbery, let's go)
Let's plan a robbery (a robbery)
You see good with this yay, but I'm better with these guns
I'm at your door to collect these funds
I'm good with this yay, but I'm better with these guns
I'm at your door to collect these funds
I ran up in his spot with the Glock, his jaw dropped
He knew I came for money and the weight I heard he got
I cracked him in the middle of his face with the tone
Tied his ass up and ransacked his home
I had to rape his bitch 'cause the ho was stacked
I fucked her from the back with my gun to her back
I left up out his crib with dollar and purple hat
But eventually got caught because of a dick hair, fuck
Don't let me find out that you got that dope
Don't let me find out that you snitching on folks
Don't let me find out that you tryna get rich
Riding 'round the fuckin' hood and make fun of niggas' shit
Don't let me find out, feds tap a nigga phone
Don't let me find out, 'cause if I find out it's on
Don't let me find out that niggas sellin' purple drank
'Cause I'mma rob all them fools like I robbed twenty banks (yeah)
Let's plan a robbery (a robbery, let's go)
Let's plan a robbery (a robbery)
Let's plan a robbery (a robbery, let's go)
Let's plan a robbery (a robbery)
You see good with this yay, but I'm better with these guns
I'm at your door to collect these funds
I'm good with this yay, but I'm better with these guns
I'm at your door to collect these funds

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
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."

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.
song is kick ass. btw, you're missing "but eventually got caught cuz of a dick hair FUCK!"
