Ah yeah (uh)
Uh, uh (yeah)
Holla if ya hear me
Yeah (uh)

Here we go, turn it up, let's start
From block to block, we snatchin' hearts and jackin' marks
And the punk police can't fade me, and maybe
We can have peace someday, G
But right now I got my mind set up
Lookin' down the barrel of my nine, get up
'Cause it's time to make the payback fat
To my brothers on the block, better stay strapped, black
And accept no substitutes
I bring truth to the youth, tear the roof off the whole school
Oh no, I won't turn the other cheek
Case ya can't see us while we burn the other week, huh
Now we got him in a smash, blast
How long will it last 'til the poor get more cash?
Until then, raise up
Tell my young black males, blaze up
Life's a mess don't stress, test
I'm givin' but be thankful that you're livin', blessed
Much love to my brothers in the pen
See ya when they free ya, if not, when they shove me in
Once again it's an all out scrap
Keep your hands on ya gat, now ya boys watch ya back
'Cause in the alleys out in Cali I'ma tell ya
Mess with the best and the vest couldn't help ya
Scream, if ya feel me, see it clearly?
You're too near me

Holla if ya hear me (hard)
Tellin' you to hear it, the rebel
Tellin' you to hear it
Holla if ya hear me (hard)
Tellin' you to hear it, the rebel
Tellin' you to hear it
Holla if ya hear me (hard)
Tellin' you to hear it, the rebel
Tellin' you to hear it

Pump ya fists like this
Holla if ya hear me, pump, pump, if you're pissed
To the sell-outs, livin' it up
One way or another you'll be givin' it up, huh
I guess 'cause I'm black born
I'm supposed to say peace, sing songs, and get capped on
But it's time for a new plan, bam
I'll be swingin' like a one man, clan
Here we go, turn it up, don't stop
To my homies on the block gettin' dropped by cops
I'm still around for ya
Keepin' my sound underground for ya
And I'ma throw a change up
Quayle, like you never brought my name up, huh
Now my homies in the backstreets, the blackstreets
They feel me when they rollin' in they fat jeeps
This ain't just a rap song, a black song
Tellin' all my brothers, get they strap on
And look for me in the struggle
Hustlin' 'til other brothers bubble

Holla if ya hear me
Tellin' you to hear it, the rebel
Tellin' you to hear it
Holla if ya hear me (hard)
Tellin' you to hear it, the rebel (once you feel it)
Tellin' you to hear it (see it clearly)
Holla if ya hear me (hard)
Tellin' you to hear it, the rebel
Tellin' you to hear it
Holla if ya hear me
Tellin' you to hear it, the rebel
Tell-tellin' you to hear it
Holla if ya hear me

Will I quit? Will I quit?
They claim that I'm violent, but still I keep
Representin', never give up on a good thing
Wouldn't stop it if we could, it's a hood thing
And now I'm like a major threat
'Cause I remind you of the things you were made to forget
Bring the noise to all my boys
Know the real from the bustas and the decoys
And if ya hustle like a real G
Pump ya fists if ya feel me, holla if ya hear me
Learn to survive in the nine-tre'
I make rhyme pay, others make crime pay
Whatever it takes to live and stand
'Cause nobody else'll give a damn
So we live like caged beasts
Waitin' for the day to let the rage free
Still me 'till they kill me
I love it when they fear me

Holla if ya hear me
Tellin' you to hear it, the rebel
Tellin' you to hear it
Holla if ya hear me (hard)
Tellin' you to hear it, the rebel
Tellin' you to hear it (uh)
Holla if ya hear me (hard)
Tellin' you to hear it, the rebel
Tellin' you to hear it
Holla if ya hear me (hard)
Tellin' you to hear it, the rebel (once you feel it)
Tellin' you to hear it (see it clearly)
Holla if ya hear me (hard)
Tellin' you to hear it, the rebel
Tellin' you to hear it
Holla if ya hear me (hard)
Tellin' you to hear it, the rebel
Tell-tellin' you to hear it
Holla if ya hear me (hard)
Tellin' you to hear it, the rebel (uh, uh, uh, uh, uh)
Tellin' you to hear it
Holla if ya hear me (hard)
Tellin' you to hear it, the rebel
Tellin' you to hear it (hard)
Tellin' you to hear it, the rebel
Tellin' you to hear it (hard)
Tellin' you to hear it, the rebel
Tellin' you to hear it (hard)

The rebel
(Tellin') hard
(Tellin' you) the rebel
Holla if ya hear me (hard)
The rebel
Holla if ya hear me (hard)
The rebel
Holla if ya hear me (hard)
The rebel
Holla if ya hear me (hard)
The rebel
Holla if ya hear me (hard)
The rebel
Holla if ya hear me (hard)
The rebel
Holla if ya hear me (hard)
The rebel
Holla if ya hear me (hard)
The rebel
Holla if ya hear me (hard)
The rebel
Holla if ya hear me (hard)
The rebel
Hard
The rebel
Hard

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.

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."
