Yeah, my man said he wanted something real
Real, real, real, real
Something he could recognize, something he could feel
Feel, feel, feel, feel
Baby girl said she was in the mood for something real
Real, real, real, real (FNF)
Something that could make her move
Something she could feel
Feel, feel, feel

Lust
Sometimes can override trust
She said that's why she gave it up
My man said blood spilled out of everything he touched
He crushed everything, he crushed
Ruined everything he loved
He just wanted the rush
Blamed it on the times being rough
Doing dirt with the devil, chasing after the dust
Make a fuss if it's them
But we hush if it's us

That's why, my momma said she wanted something real
Real, real, real, real
Something she could be proud of, something she could feel
Feel, feel, feel, feel
She said they so used to not having nothin' real
Real, real, real, real
That they don't know how to act
They don't know how to feel
Feel, feel, feel

Life
Ain't meant to come around twice
Yeah, that's why I gotta get it right
They said I got it honest now I gotta give it light
But sleep on it, that's why God give you night
I mean, I had a dream that God gave me flight
Too fly for my own good, so God gave me plight
If I wake up in the morning now I gotta give 'em sight
Make 'em see, break 'em free
Ain't a G, show you right

The game is not to give 'em nothing real
Real, real, real, real
Nothing that they could use, nothing that they could feel
Feel, feel, feel, feel
Give 'em a bunch of lies and teach 'em that it's real
Real, real, real, real
So that's all they'll know
That's all that they'll feel
Feel, feel, feel

Struggle
Another sign that God love you
'Cause on the low
Being poor make you humble
Keep they names in my rhymes
To try and keep 'em out of trouble
'Cause being poor also teach you how to hustle
All they want is some shoes
Or some rims for they bubble
Now that I got my own I can hit 'em with a couple
Cuff my homies so they ain't got no reason to cuff you
That's my plan, if I can
On the man up above you

That's why, I gotta give 'em something real
Real, real, real, real
Something they could recognize, something they could feel
Feel, feel, feel, feel
To my homies on the block I gotta give 'em something real
Real, real, real, real
Something that'll make 'em stop
Something they can feel
Feel, feel, feel

Yo! FNF are real, really real, yea
You know what it is, woo
Baby girl said she was in the mood for something real
Real, real, real, real
Let's go
So real, so real, so real

    L: The dollar bill will exorcize all ills, E: Money can buy you happiness.

    L: Frauds is thoroughly camouflaged, E: Fake hustlers and gangsters (like some rappers) are good at maintaining the image that they are what they say they are.

    L: Proceeds go towards the buying of caprice classics E: Money made from drug deals gets you a car famous for being drove by people who sell drugs. (large trunk space, highly customizable.)

    L: With the wheels to match it E: Painting rims the same color as your car is also a trend.

    L: So they can mack it Like an automatic weapon,

    E: Mac-10 and 11 are automatic weapons, Mack as in exploit or show off.

    L: Here lies, with X's in his eyes, E: large X signs in the eyes of the deceased is a classic cartoon representation of death (made popular again by the graffiti artist KAWS.)

    L: Squad cars roll past and laugh E: Content and happy with their deeds, they mock the drug dealer and laugh with a feeling of accomplishment.

    L: They say The Streets is a demon in a dress with dollar signs in her eyes and semen on her breath

    E: You know how old people say that the devil works through drugs? That's the demon in the dress part. All she sees is money, not people, and instantly thinks of how to exploit them out of every penny they have. She sucks dick.

    L: Scantily clad, no panties, deep-throating in an alley Aging badly, in sunglasses she's pretty

    E: Uses her attractiveness to lure men, and openly shows her ahem goodies. due to her over-use of illegal substances, he ages badly. she looks good though because you can't see her eyes and the bags under them (louis vuitton probably)

    L: Sprinkling greed, ignorance and envy inside of a philly

    E: Weed is commonly put in philly blunt wrappers to hide what they're actually smoking and for flavor. He's saying weed makes you greedy , ignorant, and envious of other people's belongings, which it does.

    L: Hennesy tears, ass will bring your enemies here Flirt with your flaws, till you run up in the raw

    E: pay attention to this! it's referenced later to the song "The Coolest" on his second album. (she would cry just so I could drink the tears from her eyes) hitting that'll make you lots of enemies, just like a love affair with the streets can get you on the bad side of the law. She taps into your bad side and makes you reveal your worst traits until you start selling drugs for her.

    L: They say The Game has the belly of a beast Blunts for fingers and hollow-tips for teeth Wire-taps for ears, Nike airs for feet blasphemy for prayers

    E: The Game is a horrible thing. Everything he touches becomes addicted. his bite can cut through bullet proof vests. He hears all and knows all. has popular shoes for feet. sin is his religion.

    L: A system for a heart, rap music for beats Heroin for a son and is married to The Streets Crack pipes for lungs

    E: The same old ignorant rap lyrics bumped through a sound system is is heart. Heroin is his offspring, and has a ho of a wife. he breathes more crack on the streets when they make love.

    L: And he never sleeps, just spies with dice in his eyes Loves life 'cause he likes when it dies With a baking soda soul, he coughs up pleasure E: The game doesn't rest or stop. Everything he sees is just a game for him. his life is to make others happy...for a price.

    L: clothes made out of dollar bills that he sewed together he knows, he's clever, Jealous (is) his house, all the liquor that's poured out goes right in his mouth

    E: he's dressed in what the street desires most to keep her with him. he lives in a house that everyone wants. liq that you pour on the streets in dedication to his homies she gives straight to him to drink.

    L: And he's known to ride around with the Feds, out there

    E: He plays both sides always. He has all his bases covered and is on more than just one team.

    But, Righteousness is a father teaching his kids that's what's better than wealth is a respecting of self A pistol packing old lady standing up to the dope dealers on the block making sure her presence is felt A teacher teaching that thinking is cool, Listen before you mention, Not let in school turn them into fools Keeping God first, Lupe is here FnF up, homie, I'll see you out there.

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.

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."

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.
