hold on they're murderin' up if you gotta bust a cap then aim it up

if you religious praise it up if you gotta get high then blaze it up

for the ones that never gave it up take a champagne glass and raise it

up



verse 1:



again it was the feelin when I saw his blood spillin

poppin' lip takin over his tip is why he had to kill him

now his body's in chalk and no longer can talk so then a life is lost

somebody tricked off and the killer is caught so now his life is cost

you might get caught so to make a move these motherfuckers are

petrified

on the best to try so when we slide so first bless the rest that died

is it a test of pride when inside you pull the trigger but you didn't

want to pull it

could it be a motherfucker on the other side of the bullet

should it matter naw, you figure Ima waste 'em just a murder for the

nation

for some hemmed up, locked up, broke up for felonies and other overly

motherly abrasion

now in front of of me encased in a coffin is a body with people around

sad and froze

tears drop like rain but people didn't feel the pain till the casket

closed

now the drastic shows and mother threw a frown even when the gunner

was found

'cause it seems like yesterday he was runnin around now he under the

gruond

'cause the gunner get down in these streets even though you pack a piece

for heat niggaz urgin' to bust

the game ain't the same so stay away from the curb if you out there

servin' them up and



chorus:



hold on they're murderin up if you gotta bust a cap them aim it up

if you religious priase it up, if you gotta get high then blaze it up

for the ones who never gave it up take a Champagne glass and raise it

up

make a toast to yourself for survivin in a world that's so corrupt



(repeat)



verse:



again it was the feelin when I saw his blood pourin'

tragedy mess a man look in the mirror and then I see stud mournin'

as the streets erases others, it encase a brother

you had enough heart to waste this brother but can you face his mother

I was faced with other types of problems that had held me back

couldn't tell me jack now I'm gone in my own zone but you didn't have

to tell me that

so come trail me back to a time when a motherfucker had lost his will

to survive

me and my folks had to rob and steal for a meal he'd had to kill to

survive

I remember when you had my back when the relative passed and my mother

cried

when the house caught flames you collapsed in my arms when you heard

that your father died

I take drama in stride I don't have to go through a thang to get myself

together

see for yourself but the worst is gone so its on till the roamin' have

his shelter

but if they end up back on the streets again and I have to receive my

fate

smoke weed at the wake so the pain and hate escapes to keep the kids

straight

'cause you did straight if your seed succeed 'cause they keep learnin, and

keep growin up

right now survivin' in a place that's full of doubt and about to

self-destruct



chorus



visualize in invisible eyes how I individualize

critical cries of pitiful skies that rain pain upon the ghettoland

where the unforgettable dies

subliminal lies means no motherfucker never gon make it if he knew

people to keep it in check soon

womb to the tomb death is in the next room if a nigga don't realize

the k's infects doom

lets assume anotha brotha want to laugh at you I think he just coulda

blasted you

you inhabit you killed them now the trigga tried to kick it but his

niggaz comin after you

tellin you its strange of us be crazy steppin to a motherfucker that's

dangerous

'cause its a gang of us throwin knuckles in a scuffle if we have two

thangs to bust

cocaine to us and my brains to dust I represent you up there so I try

as long as my enemy bust but soon to be crushed I don't really give a

fuck if I die so I lie

my people should be glad to survive in the land of the lost

its plan of the bos leavin motherfuckers dyin with their grandmothers

hand on the cross

so I take a stand when I talk, ran instead of walk to chalk up another

victory

how you did the caper hid the paper breaking other niggaz off is a

mystery

with the chemicals and drugs all of these criminals and thugs just

keep comin' up

better watch yourself 'cause there ain't no love in the streets of a

world that's corrupt



chorus

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.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
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 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."
