This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

[Verse 2 Alfa Mega]
F**k niggas might talk loud, act real
But they don�t really want this here
Pussy niggas better act right, lay low
We know where yo' family live
Trust me you don�t want me up in yo' crib
Wit' a ski mask on duct taping your kids
You can pray all you want
But I don�t forgive
You shouldnt have been doin nuthin
But ya did what ya did
I ain�t gotta spell it out, pimp, you know what it is
I'll rest ya case to ya real
Man you know what it is
Plus I got a hundred goons wit' me
Dressed in black
Fifty at the front door, fifty at the back
Half got 'Ks, half got macs
Bring �em out, bring �em out
Show me where they at
We can do 'em right here
We can catch 'em in a trap
Run up on his 'lac put a hole in his hat
Put his brains on the dash and his thoughts in his lap
And dump fifty more in him and tell him to hold that
Lights out, no hasta manana, hasta la vista, sara nara, y tu
No tomorrow, no remorse, and no sorrow
And the next one of y'all niggas try me like that
I swear to god, man
I'm really gonna snap
[Chrous]
Ain�t a damn thang change
I still keep that thang
Right up under my shirt
Better tell them I ain�t playin
Because its all fun and games
Until somebody get hurt
Ain�t a damn thang change
I still keep that thang
Right up under my shirt
When I pull away hang and bang
Cause it all fun and games
Until somebody get hurt
You finna get hurt, murked, put 'em in the dirt
Boy you betta catch me first
You finna get hurt, murked, put 'em in the dirt
Boy you betta catch me first
You finna get hurt, murked, put 'em in the dirt
Boy you betta catch me first
You finna get hurt, murked, put 'em in the dirt
Boy you betta catch me first
[Verse 3 Busta Rhymes]
Right now I'mma give ya somethin' and make a nigga beg please
When a bullet whiz by
Probably feel a little breeze
Drop to yo knees
I can see the big barrel of the chrome flip
Double grip handle for the squeeze
I keep a couple of those for the niggas who talk shit
When I go to Jacob and I cop that brain
If he tried to see me
I'mma cop that thang
and I'mma pop that thang
And the shots gonna sting [really?]
The nigga 'bout to set the trunk wit me[and?]
For the most part the nigga stuck with me
I�d tell you something if you really was smart
And you knew better
People probably tell ya
Don�t f**k with me
Front if you want mutha f**ka
You can catch it
Smile on my face
Even if I got the rachet
Aah Pop off police pull me over
Believe I got a compartment
And I gotta stash it
Must I just remind ya niggas
When I come through
Know that I am a find ya'll niggas
Take two, break through
Bust so many shots
Gun powder probably blind ya�ll niggas now
Ok, lets go see you don�t really want to feel a mossberg blow (nah)
Clap up a nigga then I cap up a nigga
When I finish this shit'll turn it into an absurd show
Look, Listen, and you better observe yo,
The sizzle from the bullet that the glock burst slow (sss)
Shoulda probably tweaked you up just a little
And had your body leanin, lookin� like a quarter past four
Stay down better, (lay down) checkin for a nigga who can put yo body in the dirt (ooo)
I don�t play bitch
you really need to go the other way
You know I got it under my shirt.
[Chorus]
Ain�t a damn thang change
I still keep that thang
Right up under my shirt
Better tell them I ain�t playin
Because its all fun and games
Until somebody get hurt
Ain�t a damn thang change
I still keep that thang
Right up under my shirt
When I pull away hang and bang
Cause it all fun and games
Until somebody get hurt
You finna get hurt, murked, put 'em in the dirt
Boy you betta catch me first
You finna get hurt, murked, put 'em in the dirt
Boy you betta catch me first

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
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."
Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
Busta is absolutely ripping his verse apart. No doubt the best song on TI vs TIP.
