Life ain't nothin' but bitches and money

It's all good, yeah
You punkass motherfucker
Some people run, I'd rather
Fight 'til the day I die
You know they're gonna find us
One way or another
So let's give it up, jump
And we'll learn to fly

I wanna hear you say! (Hey)

I wanna hear you say (Hey, hey)
What does it all mean to me? Nothing!

It's alright!
Run, don't wait to see them come
They're coming to throw down
To break you off some it's all right
Let's go, we got no pride to show
Outnumbered three to one
What the fuck you waiting for?
Life ain't nothin' but bitches and money
(Hey)

I'm feeling good
Yeah, you punkass motherfucker
Some people talk like
It's in the ground rotting away
Just goes to show you should
Never even bother to let someone else
Put you out of harm's way

What does it all mean to me?

It's alright!
Run, don't wait to see them come
They're coming to throw down
To break you off some it's all right
Let's go, we got no pride to show
Outnumbered three to one
What the fuck you waiting for? Come on
That's right! I'm feeling disowned!

So this is it then, my brother-betrayer
Fuck you very much I guess
I'll see you on the other side
'Til then, you'll be the one
Looking over your shoulder
As long as I run you better go fucking hide!
I wanna hear you say! (Hey)

I wanna hear you say (Hey, hey)
What does it all mean to me? Nothing!

It's all right
Run, don't wait to see them come
They're coming to throw down
To break you off some it's all right
Let's go, we got no pride to show
Outnumbered three to one
What the fuck you waiting for?

Life ain't nothin' but
Life ain't nothin' but bitches and money
Life ain't

    My Interpretation

    Life is meaningless, and filled with things that don't matter. However, that doesn't mean we can't make our own purpose. The singer would rather spend his life fighting those who would put him down, embracing the meaningless of his life and others'. A counter-view to the traditional and useless apathy many people feel when they think there is no greater purpose in life.

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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

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.

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.
