featuring Def Jef



Intro (Shaq):



Yo Jef why don't you give me a hoopa beat or something something I can go

to the park to

yeah there you go allright I like that I like that

it sound dope



(Bust 'em in the eye Shaq)



Verse 1 (Shaq):



You want to fight? come fight me

I'll hit ya with the "wa psh psh psh" see see

I get dirty after dark I'll treat like Speilberg

you get your ass kicked in the park,

(oooohhhh)

you don't believe me, the proof is in the pudding,

little boy in the hood, way before Cuba Gooding,

I flip scrpits with the mad pa-style, freeze

music please,

I dribble rhymes like Basketball-ems,

people call me E.T.,

(what's that Shaq man?)

Extra-Tallems,

you better than Shaq-tack, fool, shut up liar,

I lean on the statue of liberty when I get tired,

than I'll punch you in the stomach, I don't give a heck,

(hey yo, why you bug a hooker like that?)

yo, she breated on my neck,

people walk around like y'all, they got charred,

but I'm big like Gorilla, 6-7, large,

I kick rhymes like moduck-kwong you,

I smoke-smoke the mic-mic,

I Chech and Chong you,

you don't like Shaq, frankly I don't give a damn,

I know I got skills man, I know I got skills man,



Verse 2 (Def Jef):



surprise, look who's back,

not a prize from a cracker jack,

look at that, it's Def Jef with the Shaq Attack,

flexin', I'll be crackin your back with the boom-boom-bap,

pass the mic over here, you ain't gon' want it back,

everybody said I got fat, yep, but so did my wallet,

still ripping rhymes and dropping bombs like Ali, Mohammed

do yourself a solid, don't flex, you go sex,

you know the time, get the hard hat, the rolex,

the way I see, if I was wack like you I'd be at me,

the way I hold it down, you'd swear my name was Gravity,

Def Jef with the funk, Def Jef don't front, you know how the name is spelt,

I'm making it vital, my title, fool, break yourself,

attack the track like Shaq on a whack broad,

coming up with the hits, and I'm coming down with the backboard,

don't fake the funk, just make the sound's up from the trunk,

the reason your tape didn't hit the deck is because your hits don't bump,

so get back, ain't no hassle, cause you ain't holding nuthin,

keep sticking around, you get beat down like you stole something,

sleep on me and the Shaq and ??? your own???,

cause I know I got skills man, I know I got skills man,



Verse 3:



[Def Jef]

so check this out Shaq man, we gon' let this beat play right here, let all

the brothers and sister know.....



[Shaq]

nah, nah, let me continue

I'm a be like D-Rock and see what's next on the menu,

mic-checka, the rim and rhyme wrecka,

rocks from here to Mecca,

boom shack-a-lak-a-lak-a,

I got a hand that'll rock ya cradle,

cream you like cheese, spread you on my bagle,

my Ford Explorer boomin' with the clumped-up funk,

all you jealous punks can't stop my dunks,

they're brand new like Heavy,

built like Chevy, Impala,

but Shaq's a smooth balla,

(yeah, but what about rhymin?)

I can hold my own,

knick-knack shaq-attack, give a dog a bone,

rhymin is like hoopin', I'm already a legend,

back in the days in the Fush-camp section,

used to kick rhymes like baby, baby, baby,

every once, every twice, three times a lady,

is what I listend to, riding with my moms,

how you like me now? I drop bombs,

when you see me, please tap my hands,

I know I got skills man, I know I got skills man



Outro (Shaq):

I'd like to give a shout-out to my boy Uzi, Def Jef, Little Swany, Meech,

Ron Mac, and my other cousin Ron,

this is another rough shot from the arsenal,

and you know what. booty rappers, stay booty,

ha-ha-ha, and we out,

    My Interpretation

    It sounds like he's answering Aaron Carter's song "And That's How I Beat Shaq".

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Mountain Song
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
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.

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.
