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.
Yo, it's '87 in the house
Hell, yeah
It's '88 in the house (It's the master...)
Hell, yeah
So everybody's in the house? (Pharcyde's in the house)
So everybody get on up and turn this mother out
Yes, y'all
I got the fever for the flavor of a beat, y'all
I stand tall
Gets raw like beef, y'all
I moo moo like a cow, honey-child
Or, ooh, ah, one two
'Cause I check it
Baby, just lend me your ear for a second
'Cause I'm wrecking eardrums
Cold Black-And-Decking
Hold on the horse 'cause the force is like dark
If you can't slide then stay out the park
If my preachers don't know you
Then hop off the ark
Are you hip?
Do you need another tip, cause that's just like a talk
Light in the asscrack tip
Jump on it
Shake your shit
If you want it
Show no shame
Hey, Malik
Goddamn, get your arrow and hang
It ain't no thang to jam on it (You don't stop)
The debonair MC
In the place to be
Came to rock the b-boys and the young ladies
Gonna rhyme on the microphone all night long
So the party won't stop until the break of dawn
It's like that, y'all
It's like this, y'all
When I play b-boy
Don't miss, y'all
Some people wear all that Fila gear
Gonna rock this party out the atmosphere
Say ho! (Ho!)
Yeah, and you don't stop
Throw your hands in the air and wave them like you just don't care
If you're sparking blunts with clean underwear
Somebody say "Oh, yeah!" (Oh, yeah!)
And you don't stop
Yo, cause back in '89 I was doing the wop
Back and forth
Forth and back
I'm from the streets
Now, I'm a straight mack
Skin is black (What?)
Hair is brown (What?)
Eyes are red
You know that I can get down
When I get up on the mic
I kick the rhymes to life because I'm fresh
And I'm def tonight
Yeah, uh huh!
West coast is on fire!
We don't need no water!
Let the motherfucker burn!
Burn, motherfucker, burn!
Check it out
Well, my name is Jammer
And I'd like to say hat I'm a super def rapper coming straight from L.A.
Fly tan brown skin before you're three years old
And all the ladies love me cause I'm pigeon-toed
I step in the party and I bust my move
Cold rock the mic with the hip hop groove
Sucker MC try to call my bluff
You better beware
'Cause I'm just too tough, y'all
Please, y'all
Please check it out
Y'all, yeah
Yeah, please check it out
So stomp your feet and clap your hand
While the DJ is spinning on the DJ stand
On the turntable
One and two
We got the grand incredible cutting just for you
Like this
Do that shit
Do it
All my rhymes are hard as hell
I am the one and I prevail
You will sail
You will fail
I am the doctor
Oh, yeah
What?
Please, what, please check it out, y'all
Y'all, please, y'all, please check it out
Check it out, y'all

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."
