Yeah, we back again, baby
E'body wanna do what a playa do
But e'body can't do what a playa do
You know what I'm talking 'bout
Dre, Dre these fools wanna talk down on the playa man

Uh huh, uh huh
You know
They don't know what I'm talking 'bout, though

Eh eh, tell them 'bout everything
And how you're spose' to change
When you get a little paper, huh?

Yeah, yeah man
Can't do that, not the real playa's
They hardly ever met a real playas
Space age for ya'll
That's all, just a little bit of that space age
Yeah did you get that?
Ya'll that was it
Dre and Eight, Suave House

Dig this, I hit the track with unbelievable raps
Fadin' on comers with that inconceivable crap
We the tip-top playa's flipping real hip-hop
In the drop top we all ballin' non-stop
To the head baby, we keep [edited] don't trip
Think it over baby we toss [edited] so don't slip

Hold it down, Ball

Yeah, Dre, we gotta come real
Let the whole damn world know the whole damn deal
From the mic to the backey to the D-A-3
Eight gotta represent that S-U-A-V-E
D-R-E, chiefin' like a K-C chief
We're the pitter pair, we complete d-mix beats, uh

[Chorus]
Now everybody wanna do what a playa do
But everybody can't do what a playa do
I see you playa
All in the mix right
I see you playa
Yeah, I got my shit tight
Now everybody wanna do what a playa do
But everybody can't do what a playa do
I see you playa
All in the mix right
I see you playa
Yeah, I got my shit tight

From Hummers to a house
Watching the chief's blow 'em out
In between Arrowhead and Suave House no doubt
From a playa to a southern play
Ain't no competition
When our opposition think we slippin'
But I ain't trippin'
Catch a plane, switchin' trucks Coup's and Lex
Tone paper stacks, bustin' rhymes with Eight on tracks
Ain't no holdin' us back, doin' our thing on this hip-hop scene
For whatever it's worth, mama raised me since birth
To shake the earth and be a playa from the streets to the field
And everytime I touch the mic give 'em something they can feel
Like [edited] fantasies coming real in this battlefield
I know you wanna do me but she do too
Everybody can't do what a playa do

That's right, they can't do what a playa do
Big wild and Dre, floppin' this sign, it's on you Chiefs
Ya knowumsaying? Uh

[Chorus]

Don't let the glitter hit your eyes
And think that we ain't [edited]
I was running [edited] before [edited] knew I could rap
Railroad tracks, the forty eight tracks and plats'
God blessed me with the knack to hear a track and react
South style, get buck and make the crowd get wild
Livin' in a strange universe, real life x-files
Rock bottom from the gutter to a well known brotha'
Clipped up [edited] with the flow, straight butta'
What up, paper lova, chip gripper, scale tippa'
Verse bitta', flow flippa'
Nobody knows what my twisted mind holds
Mathematics and tactics for platinum flow's, uh

[Chorus]

Yeah, you can't do what a playa do
Suave House style, baby
Space Age forever
Eightball and Fat Man
Do Dre, and every deals

[Chorus]

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.

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."

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
