Please listen to my demo [Repeats: x 8]

A nigga told me the record company's the pimp
The artist is the hoe The stage is the corner
And the audience is the trip, god damn

(verse one) {:21}
Incredible young nigga
You can't believe I'm just one nigga
God damn I've gotten bigger
Intellect superior
Walk in a room and make the whole interior inferior

If you look me in my eyes
You might fuck around and loose control of your mind body and your soul
Grab a hold
Undisputed on the microphone, what you think
If you wink, I'll make you extinct
Did you blink, did you ever drink your own brain matter
Shotgun enema, this ain't no cinema
All praises due to the creator

For this man here, that can't no nigga stand near
True, inventor of the 'W'
What You want to do, I got the red and the blue
Show me one nigga dedicated to raps
I'll show you ten niggas dedicated to snaps

Record company death traps settin' decoys
Just to pimp young b-boys
With a cup full of yak, studio contact
Maniac with a contract

Well turn up the bass and the motherfuckin' treble
About to do a deal with the devil for my vocal level
Bullshit points, plus he want to rub it in
And take all my publishin', god damn

Do i take it up the rectum
Just to rock the spectrum
Give up a right arm, just to do a form
Hell no, all you motherfuckers goin' leave this bitch limpin'
No more, record company pimpin'

No more (No more), record company pimpin'
No more (No more), record company pimpin'
No more (No more), record company pimpin'
No more, no more, no more, no more

You ain't pimpin' me (uh uh, uh uh)
I ain't pimpin' you (uh uh, uh)
I just want to be free (I just want to be free)
So what we gonna do (can i holla at you, holla at you)

You ain't pimpin' me (please listen to my demo)
I ain't pimpin' you (please listen to my demo)
I just want to be free (I just want to be free)
So what we gonna do (can I holla at you, holla at you)

I'ma keep it simple, it went from "please listen to my demo"
To "get your ass out my limo"
Stretch presidential
It's essential 'cause the record company will have your ass in a rental

If you let 'em, You have to behead 'em
Contracts you never read 'em
CEO's you never met 'em
Sent to an attorney, Burnstein and Burney
Nigga that's his lawyer, ain't got nothin' for ya

Treat ya like they employer, I'm a warrior
Bite you in the ass like a Georgetown Hoyas
When they ignore ya cause, you got to hold your balls
Catch a motherfucker slippin' in bathroom stalls

And then you show 'em that you ain't a rookie
Let 'em know that you'd rather have, more points than more pussy
Pimp turned bookie
Now how the fuck I get in so much debt
God damn, we just met

He said, welcome to the rap game
Motherfucker be confused and broke before he know what's happenin'
You can be the star and fuck women
I'm a just play the back and keep pimpin'

No more (no more), record company pimpin'
No more (no more), record company pimpin'
No more (no more), record company pimpin'
No more, no more, no more, no more

You ain't pimpin' me (please listen to my demo)
I ain't pimpin' you (please listen to my demo)
I just want to be free (i just want to be free)
So what we gonna do (i got to holla at you, holla at you)

You ain't pimpin' me (uh uh, uh uh)
I ain't pimpin' you (uh uh, uh uh)
I just want to be free (I just want to be free)
So what we gonna do (can I holla at you, holla at you)

[Repeat: x 4]
It went from please listen to my demo
To get your ass out my limo

[Outro]
Mama's, don't let your kids grow up to be rappers
Unless you tell them if they gonna get in this business
They better learn this business
Or they goan get fucked
Simple as that
Simple as that

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.

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”

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.

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
