Uh ah ah oH, ah ah ah
Check it out
Flipmode Squad, ´98
Raw deluxe, check it out y´all

I be the street kid, the brother your momma freak wit
Put your people on if y´all know how to keep a secret
When I get money you know I like to keep it
How I get money others are tryin' to peep it

Flip mode, will be winners you want to form a team wit
The big money figures, the ones to plot the scheme wit
The brothers who be used to gettin' money frequent
The ones I would always measure up my triple beams wit

Until they start takin' my people to the precinct
That´s all back in the day yo, that ain't nuttin' recent
'Cause nowadays we see women we like to speak wit
Eat wit, lay ´em down and sleep wit

Type of women make a brother want to keep it
Shorty be so exotic she lookin' decent
Lotta corny niggaz be offerin' whack free shit
I can´t hold the heat no more yo, I gotta release it

What y´all gonna do? Don´t you know we always comin' through, me and my crew
Lemme here you say "fire it up" (FIRE IT UP), say "fire it up" (FIRE IT UP)

To all my dogs that stay bloody, well around in the five hundred, all day
Lemme here you say "fire it up" (FIRE IT UP), say "fire it up" (FIRE IT UP)
C´mon

Now every time that I meet a sucka who´s fronted, it´s aight
Gettin' money and everybody want it
Smoke a big blunt, get myself all fucked up
Fall on the floor, gotta call my X-500

Iceburg-5 - where you at??
"No need for alarm, right now I´m cruisin' to the sound of my enhanced CD-ROM"
Hurry up five, yo you know it´s about to get thick
I see this cat away behind my back about to do a stick
"Tell me where you at, I will be there in 10 seconds flat, you know I got your back
I´ll be there just in time to counteract"
Sometimes I might even forget crew, my X-5 bulletproof, I turbo boost
And blast right through in the ceiling and in the roof

Comin' through, hittin' you, and knockin' other suckas tooth´s
Full speed ahead like we runnin a toll booth
Produce more flavor that very fine juice
Call a truce, on me and my people and let loose

All my ladies in the place to be, gettin' money while they next to me, lemme
see, Lemme here you say "fire it up" (FIRE IT UP), say "fire it up" (FIRE IT
UP)

All my people just wave your hands, gettin' money all across the land, one time
Lemme here you say "fire it up" (FIRE IT UP), say "fire it up" (FIRE IT UP)
C´mon

Release the heat, we lettin' loose to the extreme
Me and the Iceburg X-5, bounce from the scene
Recline my seat, rock to the beat
Lyrical artist, microphone scarred up in the heat

Blowin' up the spot that we hittin', know what I mean?
Got you hopin' we keepin' you people up like caffeine
Fly guillotine, seeing everything on my little computer screen
From here to Philippines

Keep it movin', we never run out of gasoline
Gas me, your arson, but lookin' kerosene
Me and my five be runnin' the mission you never seen
Hot shit, makin' ya suckas forever fein

Anyone of you comin' you better come clean
Hit you with an overdose of more rhyme amphetamine
Got you eye bloodshot you need Visine
People in wylin', I think you need to wreak the siren

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.

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.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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,
