I shot ya!
I'm splittin' brothers open like a doctor
Ya fell asleep, the vampire teeth got'cha
I drop ya down in boilin' acid
Ya melt like plastic, elastic, is drastic
Violations, room vibrations, son
Cock the hammer let the uncle give 'em one
Done take a flick of a wicked lunatic
Puttin' hits on your clique, got'cha wife in turnin' tricks
What you don't want to, I thought that you was bawlin'
Now watch 'cause I cock ya love, ya girlies fallin'
Uh, what's my function? Lyrical injection
Blazin' niggas, hittin' 'em raw with no protection
I take advantage
Ya fear me, I'm doin' damage
Ya hear me
The whole scenario is dreary
Mc's is gettin' wet up in the game
I meet you up in Memphis, just call my name
I shot ya!

Ya want to (uh)
Ya want to (uh)
Ya want to hit, give me a hour (uh)
Plus a pen and a pad (uh, check it, check it, check it!)
I shot ya!
Ya want to (uh)
Ya want to (uh)
Ya want to hit, give me a hour (uh)
Plus a pen and a pad (uh, check it, check it, check it!)
I shot ya!

I got ya strap to the stagin'
Trapped in a cagin, toe kissin' a cajun
Ya mob's locked down underneath the surface
Ya gettin' nervous for talkin' shit with no purpose
Laced up, mind charmer, mad drama
What goes around comes around, not around farmers
Silence, sh, very deadly
Come and battle, let me add you to my medley
Possessin' power, takin' everything I can grasp
Go get it now, why you always dwellin' on the past?
Baby boys reminiscin' old school shit
Young fools get dicked, LL rules the shit
With a platinum fist, the relentless abyss
I take you to a land where piranhas like to kiss
Massacre, muah, blowin' up the tour bus passengers
Chuckin' the color outta cartoon character
Ya get serious
Real niggas recognize what my theory is
I shot ya!

Ya want to (uh)
Ya want to (uh)
Ya want to hit, give me a hour (uh)
Plus a pen and a pad (uh, check it, check it, check it!)
I shot ya!
Ya want to (uh)
Ya want to (uh)
Ya want to hit, give me a hour (uh)
Plus a pen and a pad (uh, check it, check it, check it!)
I shot ya!

Uh-uh-uh-oh, lookin' kinda leery
Ya clique thought I fell off, they didn't want to hear me
Oh really, now tell me how long have you been whinin'
Sixteen years, twenty million albums, yeah you're climbin'
I love your joint 'rock the bells', it was mad hot
Ya record 'bout the radio was blowin' up my spot
My girl was on your chip when you flipped 'I need love'
Your backseat count set was mad butter, son
I loved your boomin' system it was wicked as could be
You bad, now I'm writin' on your pink cookies
And you had me screamin' 'mama said knock ya out'
Ya jinglin', baby, no doubt
Uh, talk to me (what, what, uh, uh) become a zombie, walk to me
Ain't a MC alive who fought with me
Y'nah mean? Man, rock it
Easy does it
I gotta pluck it like buzzards
I shot ya!

Ya want to (uh)
Ya want to (uh)
Ya want to hit, give me a hour (uh)
Plus a pen and a pad (uh, check it, check it, check it!)
I shot ya!
Ya want to (uh)
Ya want to (uh)
Ya want to hit, give me a hour (uh)
Plus a pen and a pad (uh, check it, check it, check it!)
Ya want to (uh)
Ya want to (uh)
Ya want to hit, give me a hour (uh)
Plus a pen and a pad (uh, check it, check it, check it!)
I shot ya!

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.

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”

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,

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.
