This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I come from the land where the mullet attacks
Business up front
Party in the back
You gotta style in the south when you're stepping out
Put a gold tooth in your mouth
Lookin' good now
Your Tank top, your ball-cap, you think you're all that
But you're looking like Scott Stapp
You're just another redneck from back in the woods
Not a Kountry Gentleman that can bring the good
(Tayo)
[Chorus]
My mama raised me in the durty south
A Kountry Gentleman
So you best watch you're mouth
My mama raised me in the durty south
A Kountry Gentleman
That is what it's all about
(x2)
IROC-Z, got an eagle on it
Rolling on some 12's
Don't you know I'm gonna flaunt it
Am I driving too fast for you now?
BACKFIRE!!
The muffler goes KA-PLOW!!
Now that I got your attention
Just let me mention that I'm pinchin' pennies
To buy some twenties.
Cause I got plenties and manies, and moneys just to give to my friends
And that would certify me as a Kountry Gentleman....
Mama, what you got cookin' up in that kitchen?
Cookin' fried chicken?
You know I love that soul food
Everything you cook is so good
For a southern man like me
You gotta cook it up clean, cook it up mean
Mama don't like it when you got leftovers
Gimme me some of them collard greens
Got me some grub and I gotta go
Down to the Grocery store
Tailgate party at the PIG WIG
Jumpin' up and down in the back of a truck bed
Look at that kid tryin' to act all big
Trying to break-dance so break his leg
He ain't got what I got
Let's make it hot in this parking lot
[Chorus]
My mama raised me in the durty south
A Kountry Gentleman
So you best watch you're mouth
My mama raised me in the durty south
A Kountry Gentleman
That's what it's all about
[Breakdown]
The durty durty south [x3]
WATCH WHAT YOU SAY AROUND MY MAMA!
SHE RAISED ME IN THE DURTY SOUTH!!
I SAID WATCH WHAT YOU SAY AROUND MY MAMA!!
SHE RAISED ME IN THE DURTY SOUTH!! [x2]
[Chorus x2]
Business up front
Party in the back
You gotta style in the south when you're stepping out
Put a gold tooth in your mouth

You're just another redneck from back in the woods
Not a Kountry Gentleman that can bring the good

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
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."
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
