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.
The drumbeats go like this
Yo, yo
Now once again, my friend it's the Reverend
The first platinum status rap president
And from the coast to California to the show the main,
Got an east coast sound and my beats go bang
My own black crown with my snickers got my name
And I'm back yo, with my collar and cape
Like a superhero armed with an old school tape
It's the Rev, yo, you gots to believe
There's a song for lovers you can hear all the time
But you're like no other to me
So I'm not gonna promise you a starry sky
You just need to believe
(Just need to believe)
I take time for my rhyme and I climb but don't reach
Hustling when we rustle and grime and rock beats
And this is it what Another hit for the streets
I got love for my people from queens to overseas
Step into the room and then 'boom' the horns scream
Rev's coming well and regal, I've got dreams
Just like Martin Luther the King I might teach
Rock a collar to the party after party going reach
There's a song for lovers you can hear all the time
(All the time)
But you're like no other to me
(Like no other, like no other)
So I'm not gonna promise you a starry sky
You just need to believe
(You just need to believe)
There's a song for lovers
But you're like no other
(Rev's coming well and regal, I've got dreams
(Step into the room and then boom the horns scream)
There's a song for lovers
But you're like no other to me
You just need to believe
(I'll be your friend)
If you say you love me
(I won't let you down)
If you say you really care
(Hold out your hands)
If you say you really want me
(I will be there)
I promise I'll be there, oh, oh
I promise
I promise
And then I promise
I'll be there
There's a song for lovers you can hear all the time
(All, yeah)
But you're like no other to me
(Like no other, like no other)
So I'm not gonna promise you a starry sky
(Nothing but a starry sky)
You just need to believe
There's a song for lovers you can hear all the time
But you're like no other to me
(Other to me)
(Like no other, like no other)
So I'm not gonna promise you a starry sky
You just need to believe
(Just need to believe)
(You just need to believe)
Faith is the substance of things hoped for
(You just need to believe)
The evidence of things not seen
(You just need to believe)
Your faith has made you whole
(Yeah)

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."
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
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.

I can't believe no one has yet made a comment on this song.
This is a great song that i fall in love with the first time i heard it to me it about lovers and finding that the one you love is your soulmate or something like that.
I also love the gospel choir in the song.
