Ghetto celebrity, ooh

Ah (ah)
I got straight thrick-fifty-fifty-seven, reasons
That are criminals, thugs, hoodlums, heathens
Smoke wet, daddies, sherm, high
Bloop bloop dip dip water water fry
Crack, cocaine yola, bloody sheets
They brought it in on a plane, and I put it on my streets
1300 block, magazine
40 in the kitchen cookin', ice cream
Zippers, zones, her-on and hubba rocks
Gotta little kids to the front yard runnin' around distractin the cops
Skirts, breezies felines, hootchies shorties
Playaz pimpin', gettin' blunted and drankin' forties
Chevies Cougars, Firebirds, ? and Fairlanes
Monte Carlos, Mavericks, Novas and Ford Mustangs
Bout them dollars (bout them dollars)
Sittin' on twinkies (sittin' on twinkies)
Need a half a key? Need to come see me, Mr Local Celebrity

From a nobody nigga, to a ghetto celebrity
(From a nobody nigga, ghettofab is the word)
(Nobody nobody) (mm, ghetto celebrity!)
From a nobody nigga, to a ghetto celebrity

Beotch! fo' AM, tryin' to make some bank
With a bulletproof apron, cookin the crank
In apartment letter see, building number three
Where ery'body and their grandma be
But everybody know me though,we folks
Busted the man they seen us in vogues
Ain't no, snitch codes
Just pimps and playaz, hookers and hoes
Only problem that we haaaaave, is with the man
'Cause a couple of my Sigourney went up in one of my, methamphetamine labs
Double-oh-G shit, we rides, hardtops and trucks
Empty the clip dere, high speeds, dumpin' on the cops
It's mad dope like the Grinch, who did what? Who stole Christmas
Attitude over there by the fence butt naked
Toe-tagged him, that's how they found yo' dirt
Damn, uh-oh, shit, hold him up
The homey from the block just got busted for robbin' an armed truck
Assed out, to' up, stupid stuck
Without a doubt, shit out of luck (shit out of luck)
I ain't no fictionary rhymer, fool I'm a timah
Ever since I came out of my, momma's vagina

From a nobody nigga, to a ghetto celebrity
(From a nobody nigga, ghettofab is the word)
(Nobody nobody) (mm, ghetto celebrity!)
From a nobody nigga, to a ghetto celebrity
(From a nobody nigga, ghettofab is the word)

Been smokin' tweed since nine, but I got too used to her
Now I be powderin my nose, with some of that there sugar booka
My G's tell me I'm out of line but my head is all I can see
I know some timahs that been snortin for years, and they still sharpest
Dude you know the game let me explain you can take some notes (notes)
I never hung around kids, just grown folks
When it's a drought in the town, we sell BOMB
And let our boys drive our cars to the prom
Vipers, Bentleys, Jaguars, drop-top Mercedes
Porsches, Lincolns Ferraris Volvo S-80's
Stretchers, choppers, heat mizers and M-16's
SK's, sawed off shotguns, are-15's
AK's, fresh out the box, the choo choo train (the choo choo train)
Po-Po, left it unlocked, now that's some game!
You know, that I know, that you know who I be
Need a half a key, nigga come see me, Mr Local Celebrity, uh

Never forget a big timah ghetto celebrity
Don't forget me when you ghetto celebrity
Hustlin', money ghetto celebrity
Do what you gotta do ghetto celebrity

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.

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"

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/

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
