Go, go, go, go, go, go
Keep runnin', homie
Go, go, go, go, go, go
They on the trail
Go, go, go, go, go, go
Keep runnin', homie
Go, go, go, go, go, go
They on the trail

With so much drama in the industry
Hip hop police are listenin'
Be careful or you'll be history
Looks like another unsolved mystery
It's murder, murder, murder
Ah, it's murder, murder, murder
Yeah, it's murder, murder, murder
Somebody tell 'em it's murder
Murder was the case and they blamed me

Officer, I didn't do it, you can't blame me for this
Could you please loosen up the handcuffs on my wrists?
You can call me what you wanna, man, but I ain't a snitch
No cooperation is exactly what you will get
'Til I talk to my lawyer, you get no reply
You've obviously been watchin' too much CSI
I'm not a crash dummy, so don't even try
To talk your dirty trash to me, no BFI
If you are not guilty of anythin', then why did you run?
'Cause you the police, and, plus, I saw you cockin' your gun
And the chamber wasn't empty it was obviously one
If you think I'm believin' that one then you're obviously dumb (huh?)
I know that you heard the sirens, you dived in
To the vehicle you was drivin' and ridin' in
Instead you shouldn't be whinin', but abidin' by the law
Now it's obvious that you're lyin'

With so much drama in the industry
Hip hop police are listenin'
Be careful or you'll be history
Looks like another unsolved mystery
It's murder, murder, murder
Ah, it's murder, murder, murder
Yeah, it's murder, murder, murder
Somebody tell 'em it's murder
Murder was the case and they blamed me

Stop lyin' to me, boy, it'd be best you confess
I can smell the BS on the scent of your breath
Saw the mental while I was inspectin' your deck
Saw that you was ridin' dirty when I looked at the rest
Who is this guy Busta? Who is this guy Snoop?
Who is his other friend who's wearin' the sky blue?
Look at this pic here, he standin' beside you
Tell me his name now, I heard he was Piru
Confiscated the CD's at one of your homes
For evidence ever since we heard some of your songs
What about this Pimp guy? He was on one of your songs
I coulda sworn that he said he had a pocket full of stones
Am I wrong? Hell yeah, I don't know who that is
I don't know no Pimp C, all I know is I'm rich
And I'm a bond like James, bet I be out here quick
Man, you ain't gettin' out of here, you must think that you're slick
In the car we confiscated the chronic and the clips
Diary that you had and all your blueprints
On the Death Row booklet, we found your two prints
Your thumb and your index the judge will love this

With so much drama in the industry
Hip hop police are listenin'
Be careful or you'll be history
Looks like another unsolved mystery
It's murder, murder, murder (it's a bloody murder)
Ah, it's murder, murder, murder (it's a bloody murder)
Yeah, it's murder, murder, murder (it's a bloody murder)
Somebody tell 'em it's murder
Murder was the case and they blamed me

Now you can see you're screwed as the evidence pours in
The witness to the crime was at three in the mornin'
Gave us a description so we picked up your boy and
You'll get a lighter sentence if you put the crime on him

A big celebrity, a case we long for
You a pirate, why you got that eye patch on for?
Funny puttin' people in a hearse what I heard for
Where were you the night of April twenty-first, son?
Home I think that you got your facts wrong, gat's on you
Chamillionaire robbed, shot couple cats on Melview
What? We gonna have to jail you too
In the line-up, don't speak until we tell you to
This the person who jimmed your lock, sir?
It was dark, kinda looked like him, I'm not sure
Failin' to nail 'cause assailant's another
Believe I see an unmarked tailin' a brother
Hit the Bodega, not no more game
This chick used to be all nice, actin' all strange
Like she was gonna get it, pathetic
Assailant caught, now they all apologetic

With so much drama in the industry
Hip hop police are listenin'
Be careful or you'll be history
Looks like another unsolved mystery
It's murder, murder, murder
Ah, it's murder, murder, murder
Yeah, it's murder, murder, murder
Somebody tell 'em it's murder
Murder was the case and they blamed me

    Dude, the very beginning of this song sounds JUST like "In Da Club" by 50 Cent!

    So any one who says go repeatedly is copying 50 cent? I think you should listen to Common's "Go".

    I'm not talking about just how he says "go".. It's just the music, his voice and everything sounds like "In Da Club" to me.

    For some reason the beginning reminds me of some Eminem song.

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.

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
