[Featuring GangStarr]

[Chorus]

the life you is walking through

such a bitch

day in to day out the same old thing kid

[Verse 1 Spek]

bring me to the end and I'll be me

open up your eyes wide so you can see

it's thick to be me

how I kick my rhymes down pat

within the circle how we do

when we kick that fact

but where's the meaning?

I take it one night by one night

but where's the meaning?

I take it one day by every day

I pick a rhyme I chose and put it number one inside my placement

so look to find the signs inside my basement

no tears

sell us full of samples with ample time to loop

it's just the beats from the dead from my head with my troop

and it be cool if all the time was like studio time

but days are long enough for Spek with the rest of my time

I think I'm manic depressive and not aggressive enough

you can try to be hard but damn you still won't be rough

life is whack for the ?? life is phat if you flow

life is waitin' for a deal when you like got no dough

[Chorus]

[Verse 2 - Spek, Lu]

in the middle of my nights I check my late night flicks

I'm up at night trying to write and late night I get my kicks

that is I'm out to get my main feature

the low budget picture in my room and in between I write scriptures

picture this the day's just a claender's notch

and every kid becomes the one who want to ride it on the crotches

and when I'm finished when my flick is almost done

when my rhyme is half done

when I check a late re-run

I lose to the groove soul sounds soothe me well

sometimes my mind wonders sometimes heaven could be hell

I pass the fools who has never known my name

when I think about the deal sometimes I need someone to blame

I add members to the show who knows a fan

for the ones that want to capture the essence of level

to the hip-hop their directions they groke

who's representing us? the critics holy smoke

[Chorus]

[Verse 3 - Lu]

place text in images replacing old versions

documents displayed as homemade

glue without a clue you your loophole is deckin' in the halls to ring

bells

in fear of losing clientels

my work place is infinite

but can't plan it like my screens appearance is translusive

but with a hard ??? I display I cruhser critics

as easy as...

skip this step if you want to

control key available to only keyboards you can't afford

Q he's the shift he's the roller

can't understand your education is basic (science)

so many words and everything is being said

yet people get pissed

when people want to your way but not their way so which way's the right

way

I'm going hungry in the belly of the beast

that uncleans the serpent

I walk like the lion I'm a leash

[Chorus]

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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.

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
