Back to the hood of things (back to the hood of things)
Back to the hood of things (back to the hood of things)
Back to the hood of things (back to the hood of things)
Back to the hood of things (back to the hood of things)

Finally the TDRE is represntin' the PA
So back up and all you loud mouths shut the hell up
It's time to talk about the rumours we been hearing
Stab me in my back and when I see you, chump you cheering
You really jealous 'cause we're doing things, goin' places
I should smack the phony smile off your face
Before I made it, it was Jack Rules Town
Yeah, so give me 30 cash for a fifty dollar food stamp
That's the way it was and still is
But people say we sold out since we hit the business uh
So I decided to produce a gangsta swing
To take it back to the hood of things

Back to the hood of things

You used to be down, you used to be poor
But now you're all that, because you do tours
People call me Campbell because they think I'm suit
Up on myself because I made a little loot
You got famous model Benz, a Rolley through the hood
Yeah and the old dirty burger joint still smellin' good
Uh, to show you ain't a damn thing change
So come correct fool when you flex my name
And if you don't punk, I gotta let you know
Good Times is our favourite show
Yeah, so here's a little funky gangsta swing
To take you back to the hood of things

Back to the hood of things
Back to the hood of things
Back to the hood of things
Back to the hood of things
Back to the hood of things
Back to the hood of things
Back to the hood of things
Back to the hood of things
Back to the hood of things
Back to the hood of things
Back to the hood of things
Back to the hood of things
Back to the hood of things

Ayo R can we smack 'em with a third verse?
Hell yeah

Well it's the third time the wreck shop'll get busy
I'm with friends so way more open up so I can make my entry
I'mma talk about the shit that been killin' me
'Cause you been bumpin' your guns like wigglys G
Sayin' he sounds like
This, he sounds like that
He sounds like this, he sounds like that
Oh what the fuck sounds like a nut in the middle of your gut
Because you're full of jealousy because my fans love me
Allah gave me talent, uh so all praises to the Lord, see
That's why I had to smack you with a gangsta swing

To take you back to the hood of things
Back to the hood of things
Back to the hood of things
Back to the hood of things
Back to the hood of things
Back to the hood of things
Back to the hood of things
Back to the hood of things

Well it's the 4th runner up, last but not least
It's the C-K-L-L to the Y, G
You see my brother sold crack for a Benz
That's when I had to step right up and put my two sense in
How come you don't shoot craps like you used to?
None of your business, get out of my face fool
Ugh, 'cause you're makin' me nervous
And I'm about to knock you in your teeth
Some say stone styles try to baffle
I'm the real record and you just a weak sample
Yeah, that's why he came up with a gangsta swing uh

To take you fools back to the hood of things
Back to the hood of things
Back to the hood of things
Back to the hood of things

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.

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.

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."

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
