Yo!
I'm tryin' not to wear three X's no more
It's okay, Kardinal stand 6'4
You can hear the insecurity in my voice right
I don't take my chain off on the mics
My security piece
It gives me security (security)
I'm waiting for the gyal dem to secure me
I just put away thirty percent for my taxes
Twenty for the feds, the rest under my mattress
I gave my wallet a Botox injection
A bunch 'a rude boys inna your section
Tryin' to give my tax bracket an erection
A seventies entity, girl look at my complexion
If you can smell my cologne, you're too close
You small time, my net worth what you made gross
Seven days everyday when you from around my way
I'm married to the life girl, catch the bouquet

Set it off (oh oh, ayy)
Fire me up
Set it off (oh oh, ayy)
Fire me up
Set it off (oh oh, ayy)
Fire me up
Set it off (oh oh, ayy)
Fire me up
Hold it down (oh oh, ayy)
Yeah that's it
Hold it down (oh oh, ayy)
Yeah that's it
Hold it down (oh oh, ayy)
Yeah that's it (Pusha, re-up)
Hold it down (oh oh, ayy)
Yeah that's it

Trend setter, who been better than I
Comin' through in the slim leathers that's followed by the fives
Me and my niggas call the coupe, Jekyl and Hyde
'Cause the roof's on and off
Like they in and out of their minds
Eggshell pale, teeter totter on the scale
The old nine's is out and I ain't waiting on a deal
So same time the motherfuckers bargaining and lawyering
That coke money just keep pouring in and pouring in
Quarter milli' bling-bling, that's the price of fame, lame
I should have a title and a D.E on the chain man
Re-up Gang, Pyrex over pie roll
Stir it 'til it's hard
Pop it out, let it dry slow
Recipe for greatness me and Kardi, now nigga taste this
You fucking with the A-list, face it
Nigga this that swag, .485 hangin' off my ass
We call it frivolous cash (what the fuck?)

Set it off (oh oh, ayy)
Fire me up
Set it off (oh oh, ayy)
Fire me up
Set it off (oh oh, ayy)
Fire me up
Set it off (oh oh, ayy)
Fire me up
Hold it down (oh oh, ayy)
Yeah that's it
Hold it down (oh oh, ayy)
Yeah that's it
Hold it down (oh oh, ayy)
Yeah that's it
Hold it down (oh oh, ayy)
Yeah that's it

Malice, superstar like Lupe
See me in the coupe, hot damn it's a new day
I remove the roof as if it's a toupe
To shed light on the jewels, view it in Blu-ray
High definition, I get cash
Two-twenty on the dash, and a self start ignition
Told her don't love me but she keep insisting
Brain so good it's hard to keep my distance
Red Carpet entrance play clothes fashion
Nose in the air I smell a Chanel platinum
Re-up is the Gang, I rep with a passion
'Til the wheels fall off and it all come crashing
Malice with Mr. Kardinal
Behind dark tint like we on the prowl
Nothing like money make a bitch loose her blouse
Well done homie, we rich take a bow

Set it off (oh oh, ayy)
Fire me up
Set it off (oh oh, ayy)
Fire me up
Set it off (oh oh, ayy)
Fire me up
Set it off (oh oh, ayy)
Fire me up
Hold it down (oh oh, ayy)
Yeah that's it
Hold it down (oh oh, ayy)
Yeah that's it
Hold it down (oh oh, ayy)
Yeah that's it
Hold it down (oh oh, ayy)
Yeah that's it

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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."

Blue
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.
