Extra pro:

Yeah

I can feel this

Been holdin' mics longer than don cornelius

Will this ever end

Not 'till I seal this

Challenging your style reveal this

To you wack niggaz

Phuck the trigga (get on the ground)

And try to peel this

'cause I'ma heal this meaning your wounds and scars

Froze your flows compose you down from g to are

Then expose you to the star

That I caught you in

And plus this motherphucka' brought a friend

So you're not scary, very silly really

Nothin' puffin' out ya chest

I doubt ya fresh

And billy's bluffin'

And so it's cool for you to do

Your clout was less soon as you did that

Ya shit's wack

Forget rap

There's extra robes in your choir stand while you admirin'

The niggaz in higher places who are firin'

You weak shit so knock on

Opio they want to be dropped on (come on give it to 'em)

Opio:

Yeah

Hieroglyphics rock on

Outlastin' the niggaz graspin' on to the past

When they was everlastin'

Let the times pass 'em

Now they gaspin' for breath

With nothin' left

They used to be def

I guess they blacked out

They need to back out

Wack wasn't our shit from jump

I never did give a damn about a punk mc

My sworn enemy

I live to see 'em all fall off

Just memories

'cause we the uncontested

Hieroglyphics unimpressed wit' (what)

The shabby competition, they gets left quick

Plus these r&b niggaz on they dick

They betta' stick to singin'

Stop clingin'

To the real shit, listen

Get a clear understandin', this is competition

Demandin'

You can't get a hand in

I stay on top, I'm never landin'

Leavin' mc's scramblin'

I keep 'em grounded

They can't compound slick lyrics together

Never had it in 'em, better

Leave that shit alone

Simp to the women for a minute

That's how ya livin'

Give it up man, ya lost it

Ya look exhausted

Ya betta' off wit' the

Heartbreaks, singin' backup

'cause ya slackin' tremendously, ya never win

Ya mic gets smacked up

Disagree (huh), ya disallusioned

'cause ya losin', jerk

Take some time out

Stutterin', can't even get ya phuckin' rhyme out

Who da champ?, who da joke?, let's find out

Straight out the o' and niggaz love me fo' it

The mack poet

Down wit' extra pro, it don't stop y'all

And niggaz can't catch up

Unmatched, diggin' niggaz on the mic

I'm such a pimp

And don't attempt, ya can't touch me

Shut that shit up, ya weak (yeah)

I make the freaks get up

[chrous:]

"(it don't stop)don't stop(don't quit)don't quit x4

(we gotta' come wit' the funky shit)"

Extra pro:

Now hieroglyphics ain't no motherphuckin' joke

So soak, in the liquids and bottles of dopeness

I won't be so subtle to rope this

Around ya neck

We got respect

Hocus pocus

Try ta focus

Ya see into me and

Ya read into the beats

Sweet

Is my style, I'm disturbed

I got a list and mile

Of mc's that don't pile the right vowels

I'll, listen and laugh (ha, ha, ha...)

While you don't have what we have, I'm dismissin' yo' staff

And if you ain't followin' then you missin' the wrath

Have you forgotten, I'm fed up

Shut up, when I'm speakin'

While you're seekin'

A style we rock on the weekend

Now you're peekin'

At me and my man while we're freakin', reekin'

The smell of funks

Punks, get the leakin' (ha)

From the dillz (but they still ain't fresh)

Time ta chill. . .

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.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.
