(You!) Who are you?
You have no talent. You're a bad juggler.
You can't walk the high wire. You can't tame a tiger.
Then I'll be a clown like my grandfather. (Now Joey)
You'll see! I'll show you all!

That was cruel. You enjoy hurting people.
I would enjoy to hurt you.....

I roll with kids with pierced faces and bad attitudes
(What you lookin' at?)
You'll get stomped like a roach for acting rude
Show some gratitude
And we just might reserve the right to let you live
Think twice before you harass these Crab Ap kids
Bring drama, react, we know to slap kids
The cap kids, puttin boogers on their wigs
And if it come to it, been known to decap kids
Blair-Witch style, C. A. F. written in twigs
In the thick situations, easy times and complications
From very short times to long durations
We building nations, from G-Town to Denver, CO
From Canandaigua, all the way to San Francisco
So what you know about them hoodies with the def one tag on the side
We coasting by while these cats jet lag on the side
If someone told you Travis didn't love his kids, they lied
You got a hoodie? Better rock it with pride

[chorus]

It be the C. to the r. a. b. A. p. p. l. e. Family until the day we d. i. e.
continuously extendin' ourselves for you to see, smell, hear, touch and taste
we be them C. to the r. a. b. A. p. p. l. e. K. i. d.'s, reppin' is lovely
as you can see, endlessly, spittin' prophecies until the day we d. i. e.

I roll with kids with nappy heads and backpacks that handle their business
The type of cats that whoop yo' ass at Tony Hawk with the quickness
Strictly Benihana's, 360 Judo Madonnas
Ride the long ass rail for bonus points if they wanna
315 area code, lo and behold
And got that skill to make a dutchie burn slow when they roll
But this is bigger than Geneva, i got fam in Japan
And if you don't know, better ask Hiroko
Greet her with 'konichiwa', she'll tell you who's the best
Matter of fact, kokuwa, trav is def.
This shit it permanent
You shouldn't even be concerned with it
Unless you rock a crab apple with a worm in it
You freshman to this game son, you just learnin' it
And you can't touch the flame that we lace these burners with
Plus we hold these Pilot markers with the firmest grip
[the firmest grip, the firmest grip]

It be the C. to the r. a. b. A. p. p. l. e. Family until the day we d. i. e.
continuously extendin' ourselves for you to see, smell, hear, touch and taste
we be them C. to the r. a. b. A. p. p. l. e. K. i. d.'s, reppin' is lovely
as you can see, endlessly, spittin' prophecies until the day we d. i. e.

to the r. a. b. A. p. p. l. e. Family until the day we d. i. e.
continuously extendin' ourselves for you to see, smell, hear, touch and taste
we be them C. to the r. a. b. A. p. p. l. e. K. i. d.'s, reppin' is lovely
as you can see, endlessly, spittin' prophecies until the day we d. i.

E.

These kids is like a hop, skip, and a leap from making you sleep
Like Snorlax I got their back with my rhyme broad axe
Rock a freaky jason mask that you can barely see me through
Spit a thousand volts out my cheeks like pikachu
Smell me, basically it ain't shit so you could tell me
My mind's made up
Had my back to the exact day crab apple came up
Now i'm worldwide like dot com, just look the name up
www.epics, you know the rest
Double cross my crew i hope Jah blessed to say the less
But at least take that back, cuz you speak with incoherence
Comin' at us like that, we'll make you breathe your sleaze appearance
My crew's top brand, you musta got your shit on clearance
[clearance]

C. A. F. to the death

[Chorus]

It be the C. to the r. a. b. A. p. p. l. e. Family until the day we d. i. e.
continuously extendin' ourselves for you to see, smell, hear, touch and taste
we be them C. to the r. a. b. A. p. p. l. e. K. i. d.'s, reppin' is lovely
as you can see, endlessly, spittin' prophecies, Spittin prophecies

It be the C. to the r. a. b. A. p. p. l. e. Family until the day we d. i. e.
continuously extendin' ourselves for you to see, smell, hear, touch and taste
we be them C. to the r. a. b. A. p. p. l. e. K. i. d.'s, reppin' is lovely
as you can see, endlessly, spittin' prophecies until the day we d. i. e.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
