Yo, yo (Gravediggaz)
Gatekeep and Grim Reap'
Burn baby burn, burn baby burn
Check it, yo, yo
I was unearthed, the womb gave birth
Partitioned to submission, forced to dwell in hell's kitchen
I lived contaminated for months
Stalkin' fresh was a casual hunt, peep the game
Waitin' for a stray pass-byer
Grab the motherfucker burn him set him on fire
I've been insane since exchange of rings
That the docs in autopsy, tried to prevent to stop
Biologically I breathe, a rebel
Psychologically havin' fights with the devil
Wakin' up with gashes, deep river slashes
Hearin' the talkin' of the motherfucker burned to ashes
Scared to sleep, fearin' committin' a sin
Stuck my eyelid and brow with a safety pin
Feelin' myself lifted yet seein' myself, still sittin'
Evil has become my faith, I'm slippin'
Burn baby burn, burn baby burn
Burn baby burn, burn baby burn
Burn baby burn, burn baby burn
Burn baby burn, burn baby burn
Burn baby burn, burn baby burn
Burn baby burn, burn baby burn
Burn baby burn, burn baby burn
Burn baby burn, burn baby burn
Yo, from the first day, that I burst through the skin of a virgin
I was cursed by sin
A mammal of the sea
Pops named John Samuel Berkeley, out of his nuts came me
True indeed I had soul, even as a tadpole
Grab hold of an egg, just to have a mole
Grew up surrounded by darkness and blood
Swimmin' in the cut like Noah in the flood
Eh ah ah ah ah! Drama! Devils attack me inside my momma!
This caused trauma
While I was growin' up she was throwin' up
It got worse, it's how I met the doc and the nurse
They took an X-ray, kept it to the next day
To figure out the best way to possess me
Trapped in a pool of impurity
Without security, nearly ruined me
No immunity, to the curse yet
I saw the Earth sweatin', as poppa prayed on the church step
In the place where they worship
As the nurse crept I got mad nervous
Burn baby burn, burn baby burn
Burn baby burn, burn baby burn
Burn baby burn, burn baby burn
Burn baby burn, burn baby burn
Burn baby burn, burn baby burn
Burn baby burn, burn baby burn
Burn baby burn, burn baby burn
Burn baby burn, burn baby burn
Tossin' turnin', fightin' to awake
I woke up with a scream, strapped to the stake
Blood drippin' like rain, excruciatin' pain
Loosin' my grip, episode of "Tales From the Crypt"
Seein' faces of death had me shortness of breath
Fallin' through the rabbit hole that collapsed my chest
Blood spillin', inside survive like a villain
Killin' life, torturous as Vincent Prince
Tried to run got caught then I lost my tongue
Barrels of dead corpse beatin' my head like a drum
Summoned to scotch your head, let's figure
They guided my light, I came back a grave digga
The prophet, enhanced by these deadly concoctions
Killin' evil that lurk in the dirt, is our only option
Four hundred years in the pits we dwell
And for every drop of blood you will burn in hell, devil
Burn baby burn, burn baby burn
Burn baby burn, burn baby burn
Burn baby burn, burn baby burn
Burn baby burn, burn baby burn
Burn baby burn, burn baby burn
Burn baby burn, burn baby burn
Burn baby burn, burn baby burn
Burn baby burn, burn baby burn
Yo, pain builds my character
Deranged cancer cell begin to damage my shell
Tissues begin to swell
A human pin-cushion needles begin pushin'
Through my, melanin color, blood begins gushin'
Hunger, pain is, fed through my veins
Tryin' to maintain body and brain under strain
Belly bein' drained from my nose through a catheter
To maintain my stamina, game is high caliber
Flashback my dossier file before the hospital
Lots'll pay a pile of cheddar to see me rock my style
Got lots of smiles from man woman and child
A grave digga here runnin' wild like the Nile
Ghetto, X-File, the horoscope bringers
City morgue singers, new rap era beginners
Four years out of seven I remember tourin'
And this year I'm measurin' my urine
Burn baby burn, burn baby burn
Burn baby burn, burn baby burn
Burn baby burn, burn baby burn
Burn baby burn, burn baby burn
Burn baby burn, burn baby burn
Burn baby burn, burn baby burn
Burn baby burn, burn baby burn
Burn baby burn, burn baby burn
Burn baby burn, burn baby burn
Burn baby burn, burn baby burn
Burn baby burn, burn baby burn
Burn baby burn, burn baby burn
Burn baby burn, burn baby burn
Burn baby burn, burn baby burn
Burn baby burn, burn baby burn
Burn baby burn, burn baby burn

Burn baby burn, burn baby burn

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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
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
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.
Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
