bushwalla:
i live by the funk and i die by the funk
and i am livin it by the funk and i live
i live by the funk and i die by the funk
and i am livin it by the funk and i live
well the harmonies they won't be kickin
but these lyrics are so finger lickin
well yo girls purr like a kitten
she'll be smitten for an ass woopin
and the dope of the rhyme at the scene of the crime
and you cannot forget the weather
cause i'll be cussing a fuss and forget all that rush
my skin feels like it's pleather
on the fourth of july that is when i might die
but this girl moves like no other
what, i will slip up the fly and then hope she won't cry
and i pray there is no brother
j, why

jason:
cause she is a white girl, in a soul train line
she is a white girl, in a soul train line

bushwalla:
now my fingers are really tired
i've been up for three days and wired
this girl reaps of desire
and it's burnin like a motherfuckin wildfire
now cause the older the ho and the more she may know
and the drink kills off my liver
and the rhyme battles brew everything that you do
and the liquor is killing my system
i am totally stoked on the m.c. microphone
and a peace to all of my brothers
but the girl got an itch and i hear that she's a bitch
but her brew is like no other, why

jason:
cause she is a white girl, in a soul train line
she is a white girl, in a sould train line
bushwalla:
you so hot

jason:
because she can drink a dime from a nickel bag
yes she can, she can walk like a man
and fuck doing a handstand
american bandstand they could not comprehend
so the soul train was where she fit in
and she did it again and again and again
and if it wasn't for sin
well they would ask her where it all began
she said nebraska
on tv on saturday that's where she made enough of her money
to grow up and then move to the city
greyhound bus true grit and real titties
and made her name as the soul train pretty
train pretty

together:
soul train
soul train
(there's one more round fellas, one more round)
soul train

    This is my jam. I love the line, "She can drink a dime from a nickel bag."

    It's drink? That's terribly clever.

Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
