[Esham]
Light years away, you can't glitch with this
So I can't resist to put you in a twist
You hurtin' this, I just ain't understandin'
Plannin' capers like a villain, you know I'm underhanded
Hand in your resignation you ain't representin'
Get a lyrical impeachment like your man Bill Clinton
If you know like I know, and you flow to get dough
We used to be toe to toe
Now we stay cracked like cee-lo
Oh no, you think you sound like the old Motown?
But I'm from New Detroit we make the world go round boy

Chorus (Uncredited Girls):

We make the World spin around,
Talkin' bout Motown,
We make the girls scream out loud,
Tell me how it's goin' down,
We cruise around and around,
We cruise around and around

[Esham]
We got the fastest cars and the prettiest women
If you catch me underwater boy I won't be swimmin'
If you got a fat bush, girl it's just for trimmin'
Black girls with blonde hair like Lil' Kim'n
I be the E-S-H-A-M and, corners I'm bendin'
No need for pretendin', Charlie Batch I'm winnin'
Detroit Lions and Tigers, Geoffrey Fieger, my style's Kevorkian
Sting you like a scorpion with this lyrical torturin'
A seven in my Elly rider, who you tellin'
I come from o-z sellin' straight bailin'and real life yellin'
And time warp til' nowadays

[Crowd claps to fade]

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."

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,
