Shake your money maker like somebody 'bout to pay ya
I see you on my radar, don't you act like you afraid of shit
You know I got it, if you wanna come get it
Stand next to this money like, ayy, ayy, ayy
Shake your money maker like somebody 'bout to pay ya
Don't worry 'bout them haters, keep your nose up in the air
You know I got it, if you wanna come get it
Stand next to this money like, ayy, ayy, ayy

Shake, shake, shake your money maker
Like you were shakin' it for some paper
Took your mama nine months to make ya
Might as well shake what your mama gave ya
You, you lookin' good in them jeans
I bet you look even better with me in between
I keep my mind on my money, money on my mind
But you's a hell of a distraction when you shake your behind
I got J.O. up on my right side pourin' some cups
My whole hood is to my left and they ain't giving a fuck
So feel free to get loose and get carried away
So by tomorrow you forgot what you were sayin' today
But don't forget about this feeling that I'm making you get
And all the calories you burn from me making you sweat
The mile high points you earn when we taking my jet
And how everywhere you turn, I'll be making you wet 'cause you can

Shake your money maker like somebody 'bout to pay ya
I see you on my radar, don't you act like you afraid of shit
You know I got it, if you wanna come get it
Stand next to this money like, ayy, ayy, ayy
Shake your money maker like somebody 'bout to pay ya
Don't worry 'bout them haters, keep your nose up in the air
You know I got it, if you wanna come get it
Stand next to this money like, ayy, ayy, ayy

Switch, switch, switch it from right to left and (and)
Switch it 'til you runnin' right out of breath and (and)
Take a break until you ready again and (and)
You can invite over as many friends as (as)
You want to but I really want you
Just be thankful that Pharrell gave you somethin' to bump to, hey (hey)
Luda, I'm at the top of my game
You want my hands from the bottom to the top of your frame
And I just wanna take a lil' ride on your curves
And get erotic, givin' your body just what it deserves and
Let me give you some swimming lessons on the penis
Backstroke, breaststroke, stroke of a genius, yup
Call me the Renaissance man
Get up, and I stay harder than a cinder block, man, hey
I'm just a bedroom gangster
And I been meanin' to tell ya that I really must thank ya when ya

Shake your money maker (woo) like somebody 'bout to pay ya
I see you on my radar, don't you act like you afraid of shit
You know I got it, if you wanna come get it
Stand next to this money like, ayy, ayy, ayy
Shake your money maker like somebody 'bout to pay ya
Don't worry 'bout them haters, keep your nose up in the air
You know I got it, if you wanna come get it
Stand next to this money like, ayy, ayy, ayy

Release Therapy, rock, rock, rock, rock
Release Therapy, rock, rock, rock, rock

Rock, rock, rock it and make it work, girl
Please don't stop it until it hurt, girl
You, you been lookin' a little tipsy
So if you could just shake it a little this way
See I'm a member of the BBC
The original breadwinner of DTP
And you the center of attention that's distracting the squad
'Cause everybody in the camp is like, oh my God, she can

Shake your money maker like somebody 'bout to pay ya
I see you on my radar, don't you act like you afraid of shit
You know I got it, if you wanna come get it
Stand next to this money like, ayy, ayy, ayy
Shake your money maker like somebody 'bout to pay ya
Don't worry 'bout them haters, keep your nose up in the air
You know I got it, if you wanna come get it
Stand next to this money like, ayy, ayy, ayy

    I think this song is about just being happy to be alive and about god.

    It's really depressing that, by Ludacris's standards, this is shockingly un-degrading to women.

    halfpunkhalfjock, someone seems to have anger management issues...as much as I agree the concept of this song is tasteless, there's no reason to throw an internet temper tantrum; yet you have the right to say whatever you want.

    the main point of modern rap is to entertain, not to be taken seriously. sadly, most kids don't understand that but that isn't the fault of the musician. they have the right to say what they please just as much as you have the freedom to criticise them. so if there's anyone to criticise it's the fuck-ups who take ass shaking, big rim, pimp glorifying music videos seriously. makes me hang my head in shame.

    and as for song meaning, it's pretty self explanatory but I do have to say I love the beat. call me a poser but this song is fucking catchy.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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”

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
