This is, this is, this is (ooh)
You like this (yeah)
You are now witnessin' (mmm)
The flyest shit in the world (oh)
I can't think of nothin' else to say
Christina Milian, Cool & Dre, come on

I got the urge to scream out
Pull out the vert, let's be out
And I don't know about you
But I'ma get it poppin' like I'm supposed to do
Don't hold your breath, girls, breathe out
Sweat out your perm, pull your weave out
And tell the world it's time
That we gonna be heard, we gonna scream out loud, say

I'ma make it happen, I'ma make a way
If you got somethin' to prove and you feel the same way
Say I, I
I'ma keep it gangster, I'ma make it hot
If you feelin' like I do, then people, throw your hands up
And say I, I (I)

You wanna dance, then get down
You're tryna chill, then sit down
Do what you wanna do
Don't let nobody tell you what you're supposed to do
You on the corner, you grindin'
Tryna duck the feds, you ain't tryna do no time, and
I know you feel it's rough (ayy)
And if you with me, people, let me see your hands up and say

I'ma make it happen, I'ma make a way (yeah)
If you got somethin' to prove and you feel the same way
Say I, I (y'all heard the lady, haha, say I if you feel it, yeah)
I'ma keep it gangster, I'ma make it hot (you already know what it is)
If you feelin' like I do, then people, throw your hands up (TC, show me)
And say I, I (I) (I got it from here Chris, damn)

My nephew gettin' older and he startin' to talk (talk)
Now my moms got sick and she can't walk (damn)
No high school diploma, but I know math (yeah)
Ain't write one song and she still want half
"Deadbeat dad," that's what the media say (say)
"Best father in the world," that's what my son would say
"Won't stop 'til you broke," that's what his moms would say
But hey, them the types of games she play (ayy)
The media talk so bad about me
But the streets, they'll do so bad without me
Can't ban the snowman
This is Thug Motivation, just part of the program (yeah)
The first day of class (ayy)
And all you gotta do is stack cash to pass (yeah)
Don't mind me, I'm just thinkin' out loud (hey)
Purple haze got my head in the clouds

Get into it, let's just face it
We can do it if we try (We can make it if we try, make it if we try)
Ain't nothin' to it, let's just take it (ooh)
We can make it if we try (say oh oh, oh)
Let's just do it, we can make it
I know we'll make it if we try (say oh woah, oh)

I'ma make it happen, I'ma make a way (hey)
If you got somethin' to prove and you feel the same way
Say I, I (say I)
I'ma keep it gangster, I'ma make it hot (if you feel the same way)
If you feelin' like I do, then people, throw your hands up
And say I, I (hey, oh)

Get into it, let's just face it
We can do it if we try
Ain't nothin' to it, let's just take it
We can make it if we try

I'ma make it happen, I'ma make a way
If you got somethin' to prove and you feel the same way
Say I, I

    AWESOME song. Can't wait until the album comes out. What makes the song so good is the Jeezy part. Millian is pretty good too.

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."

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.
