Ahem.. Weezy ya'll…Young Money, Cash Money.
This is… the Drought 3.
Ladies and gentlemen, Ya'll know me.

You know I ride for my mother fuckin' niggas,
Most likely I’ma die with my finger on the trigga.
They tell me don’t get high, and I should try to make a living.
I tell ’em I’ma hustler and I rather make killin'.

My eyes is so wide as he watchin the skillet,
I let my bitch bag it, if she steal it, I’ma kill her,
I bulletproof the ride, now I feel like all my dealers,
And fuck ya, hot spitta, young money, we the realets.
And I ain’t gotta lie when I tell you I’m the illest.
My flow is nasty, like C. Y. Phyllis.
Self made G, and them bitches know the business.
Relying on rap, but in the kitchen I'm a chemist,
And when I was 5, my favorite movie was the Gremlins.
Ain’t got shit to do with this, but I just thought that I should mention.
You looking for divine and the little intervention,
And them birds don't fly, without my permission.
I'm probably in the sky, flying with the fishes,
Or maybe in the ocean, swimming with the pigeons,
See my world is different like Dwayne Wayne,
And if you want trouble, bitch, I want the same thing,

And you know that I’ma ride with my mother fuckin niggas,
Most likely I’ma die with my finger on the trigga.
Don't worry bout mine, I’ma grind till I get it,
And tell all of my niggas that the sky is the limit.
The sky is the limit.
The sky is the limit.
And tell all of my niggas that the sky is the limit.
The sky is the limit,
The sky is the limit.
And if you look high, you see that I’m gonna be in it.
'Case The sky is the limit.

Buck ten in the coupe, and your bitch love it.
Switching lane faster than she switch subjects.
Tell a bitch don't talk to me,
And if you're talking to them niggas, don't talk for free.
And I hate when a nigga say talk is cheap,
‘Cause I’m the type to let money talk for me.
My flow is art, unique.
My flow can part a sea.
The only thing on a mind of a shark, is eat,
By any means, and you're just sardines.
I got the 40 cal. Tuck in my p.r.ps.,
What do you expect, I’m from New Orleans.
And majority of my city is rowders,
They tried to make a brand new map without us,
But the tourists come down and spend too many dollars.
And no matter how you change it, it will still be ours.

And I’ma ride with my mother fuckin niggas,
Most likely I’ma die with my finger on the trigga.
Don't worry bout mine, I’ma grind till I get it.
And tell all of my niggas that the sky is the limit.
The sky is the limit.
The sky is the limit.
And I’ma tell all of my niggas that the sky is the limit.
Because the sky is the limit.
Yeah, the sky is the limit.
And if you look up high, you'll see that I'm gonna be in it.
‘Cause the sky is the limit.

And you don't wanna fuck with a soldier,
Use your head, or I'll take it off ya shoulder,
Run up in your house and shoot everyone
Tthat's sitting on the living room sofa.
(That's fucked up, haha.)
And you don't wanna fuck with a soldier.
Use your head, or ill take it off ya shoulder,
Mail it to your mom, put a dozen of roses.
(Now that's fucked up.)
And I'm a G,
And you ain’t gotta know the alphabet to see,

I know that my whole city is depending on me.
And I forget a lot of shit, but I could never forget the streets,

So you know that I’mma ride with my mother fuckin niggas.
Most likely I’mma die with my finger on the trigga.
Don't worry bout mine, I’mma grind till I get it.
And tell all of my niggas that the sky is the limit,
The sky is the limit.
Don't worry bout mine, I’mma grind till I get it.
And tell all of my niggas that the sky is the limit.
Because the sky is the limit.
Yeah, the sky is the limit.
And If you look high, you'll see that I’m gonna be in it.
‘Cause the sky is the limit.
They tell me don’t get high, not to try to make a living,
I tell em' I’mma hustler and I rather make killin'.
‘Cause the sky is the limit.
Hands up in the air, because the sky is the limit.
Can you see me up there?
The sky is the limit.
The sky is the limit,
If you don't know nothing about it, the sky is the limit.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Dreamwalker
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.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
