You gonna die
But you are going to die
And it could be in a month
It could be tomorrow 
It could be in a year
It could be in 20 years
But the thing is you’re gonna die
And when the doctor or the person or event comes
The reaper comes and he said to you
Today is your time
How are you going to handle that

Only gonna be here for a short while
So I’m living every day like it’s worthwhile
Living everyday like I’m on trial
When the day comes they go compile
Everything everything everything you
Done in your whole life compile
Everything everything everything you
Done in your whole life

We used to keep photo albums and pictures on our walls
Now it’s Facebook and IG post when we bored
Memories fades but the melodies stays
Cause when you gone they never go back to that internet page
New ways of making money but I keep old values
If you love me keep a picture of me close by you
And your wallet close to the money
Or your mind like you owe me
Show me that I’m precious so no can do
Don’t put no virtue candles you can’t blow out too
No black display pictures keep your RIPs
When am gone a couple years
Play back throwback tunes
And let it put you in codak modes
Take you back to when you used to kick it
Take it back to when you listened to it
How you felt the first time you got the message to it
I put my thesis to it
That’s a premise I’m waiting for you to prove me wrong
I dress my message up in uniforms
Its on duty but y’all caught up with the booty songs
You hear me rapping and start looking out for unicorns
I know I’m unique and I use it with my new vision
Take me how my music comes before my music stop
Uhhn sometimes I have it suited up
Sometimes we on the streets patrolling city cops
Sometimes we so deep it sound frivolous
I want to smell my flowers before I give it up

Only gonna be here for a short while
So I’m living every day like it’s worthwhile
Living everyday like I’m on trial
So when the day comes they go compile
Everything everything everything you
Done in your whole life compile
Everything everything everything you
Done in your whole life

And no one knows the moment they die until surprise is ich
So be cautious when you on Twitter you are rising on tweet
Cause there’s gon be fire when the read replies and retweets
Never thinking about the size of your reach
And the social appliance to your speech
Humans are vulnerable we lie and we weep
To hurt somebody cost you nothing but to lie that is peak
We hide and we lie we strong but deep inside we weep
And DJ XG was my guy when we was peep
If suicide survivors could speaks
What they say I used to cry in my sleep
I used to pray that you say something more than how we greet
As we run these journey of life there people stranded on the side of the streets
Finding their feet and when they gone
We like why didn’t they speak
Starting to ponder though the rhymes getting blink
Like when I’m gone even those who curse me will be kind in their tweets
Even artiste who hate me will lying through their teeth trying to be sweet
How does that help me when I’m lying 6-feet
So if you fuck with me nothing you produce
Say it loud speak your truth
Don’t be on the fence when it comes to me
Nigga pick and choose
Many people slander you just so they can get in the news
Cool with me I drop the same energy when I RIP
For I see nigga who fuck with you just for your IP
Seen the love change from what it was to the
I just try to regulate fake niggas like I’m Warren G
And when I’m gone my real smoke for me like Rasta fa RT

Only gonna be here for a short while
So I’m living every day like it’s worthwhile
Living everyday like I’m on trial
So when the day comes they go compile
Everything everything everything you
Done in your whole life compile
Everything everything everything you
Done in your whole life

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.

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

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.
