Emcees be fakin' so now they get taken

Fake emcees, they always act hard
But won't walk the streets without they bodyguard
I hate fake emcees, they always act hard
But won't walk the streets without they bodyguard

Emcees I lay out like stiffs in the morgue
Praise the lord you're in awe when I'm grippin' the mic cord
Rhymes I rip with swift execution
One verse to coerce your girl to prostitution
The Guru is now the brother you fear and
Beware when I'm making hits with Premier and
Rolling to a spot near you, lyrics tear through
Chrome to your dome you better watch your rear view
Niggas been held back too long we're coming up
In the streets we roll alone so watch me running up
I'm summing up a mad posse of warriors
Night crusaders able to break down barriers
And bringing faces of death putting emcees to rest
Until there's no fake chumps left
Run, step, yeah bounce nigga bounce
My rhyme's a cargo when yours is just a quarter ounce

Fake emcees, they always act hard
But won't walk the streets without they bodyguard
I hate fake emcees, they always act hard
But won't walk the streets without they bodyguard
Fake emcees, they always act hard
But won't walk the streets without they bodyguard
I hate fake emcees, they always act hard
But won't walk the streets without they bodyguard

Gang Starr boy and that's beyond your comprehension
Mad brothers in every city you can feel the tension
To stop the killing wack emcees must die
Who am I, I'm the substance that'll make your third eye cry
Too potent, too high in intelligence quotient
When I unleash my speech I'll have you punk rappers open
I won't expose your names and your identities
You know you're phoney get the fuck from in front of me
Hardcore fans are fed up from your folklore
Lines strip you raw and infect you like cold sores
And I hope you're not the one that I'm after
Since the days of Adidas I've been a true master

Fake emcees, they always act hard
But won't walk the streets without they bodyguard
I hate fake emcees, they always act hard
But won't walk the streets without they bodyguard
Fake emcees, they always act hard
But won't walk the streets without they bodyguard
I hate fake emcees, they always act hard
But won't walk the streets without they bodyguard

I've been around punk but yo I still feel young
A few of my crew members like to pack guns
I'm high strung but don't mistake me when I smile
I murder an entire rap chart with my freestyle
After the killing just like Casper I'm ghost
Fakes thought I was friendly, at their wakes I was host
Toast without a gun you'd be done
Throw up your hands bitch and now you know you stand to lose one
Choose one metaphor and then choose another
Wax that ass like a bully have you calling your big brother
Although I'm five foot eight they call me sargeant
Got more hoes in my dick than you can fit in the garden
At Madison Square I shot a fair one
So many niggas knew me that the kid wouldn't dare run
Emcees pay cash to ensure their safety
They know they can't take me the G-A-N-G, you crazy?
I be on them like a message from God
Knowledge of self while fake emcees play hard

Fake emcees, they always act hard
But won't walk the streets without they bodyguard
I hate fake emcees, they always act hard
But won't walk the streets without they bodyguard
I hate fake emcees, they always act hard
But won't walk the streets without they bodyguard
Fake emcees, they always act hard
But won't walk the streets without they bodyguard
I hate fake emcees, they always act hard
I'm not a sucker so I don't need a bodyguard
Fake emcees, they always act hard
I'm not a sucker so I don't need a bodyguard
I hate fake emcees, they always act hard
I'm not a sucker so I don't need a bodyguard
Fake emcees they always act hard
I'm not a sucker so I don't need a bodyguard

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.

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.

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,

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.

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.
