Act like you forgot about it, let some months go by
Let everything just simmer down
And just when them niggas think you let that shit go
Slide through and wake they shit up
Act like you forgot about it, let some months go by
Let everything just simmer down
And just when niggas think you let that shit go
Slide through and wake they shit up

They homie gone, got his name still they contacts
His mama on dope again and she relapsed
Them and they partnas put R.I.P. in they bio
Vow to revenge death on the Bible
It's bad and it's ugly, it's on on sight
The streets be talkin' and watchin'
What's in the dark gon' come to light
The perpetrators think they cowards and they squibble
What they fail to realize is they got some change on their hair
The youth activists try to do what they can and extend their hand
With non-profit organizations and guns buy back programs
It's only so much they can do, they used to be like them
Back and forth to juvie, in and out the pen
The system's corrupted, want us to suffer
Designed for Black and Latinos, people of color
Karma used to take three years but it now it take 30 seconds
And it's a blessing to be living, ain't no question

Act like you forgot about it, let some months go by
Let everything just simmer down
And just when them niggas think you let that shit go
Slide through and wake they shit up
Act like you forgot about it, let some months go by
Let everything just simmer down
And just when niggas think you let that shit go
Slide through and wake they shit up, they shit up

Yeah, I kick back about 90 days
I ain't trippin' off niggas, man, I'm out the way
Got a bunch of dirty work out in San Jose
WhatsApp if you ever tryna run the play
Heard numbers goin' up, we ain't givin' in
Never fold, I was told that ain't how you win
Strategize, map it out 'fore you blap it out
Couple hundred on the floor, we'll pack it out
When I move through the city I be on the dolo
Most likely with a bag, I don't do the po-po
Hellcat with a stick 'cause you never know though
Got my own damn back with the forty four-four
If you really into game then you really know this
When shit be goin' good that's when niggas get hit
It could be your own hood, set you up with a bitch
Sniper on the roof and he fully equipped with clips

Act like you forgot about it, let some months go by
Let everything just simmer down
And just when them niggas think you let that shit go
Slide through and wake they shit up
Act like you forgot about it, let some months go by
Let everything just simmer down
And just when niggas think you let that shit go
Slide through and wake they shit up, they shit up (Ooh)

It take a fool to catch a fool, that's what they say
But nowadays, anybody can get the AK
AR-15, create a crime scene
All it take is some gouda to formulate a team
Some of these fools is bad news
Some of these fools get down but some don't think about they dudes
They loved ones, they cousins, they next of kin
They mommies, they daddies, they baby mamas and they kids (Ooh)
Get caught in the crossfire
Funkin' over these bitches, these bitches be liars
Don't be tellin' her all your business, you could get flat like a tire
She scandalous and she vicious, get you sent to the Kaiser
She fuckin' him, she fuckin' him, she fuckin' him
At the same time, she robbin' him
Karma used to take three years but now it take 30 seconds
And it's a blessing to be living, ain't no question

Act like you forgot about it, let some months go by
Let everything just simmer down
And just when them niggas think you let that shit go
Slide through and wake they shit up
Act like you forgot about it, let some months go by
Let everything just simmer down
And just when niggas think you let that shit go
Slide through and wake they shit up, they shit up

Wake they shit up
Wake they shit up
Wake they shit up
Wake they shit up

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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,

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
