Understand that what goes around comes around
And I don't ever wanna come down
Baby, tell me it's time to go
Tell me I gotta leave, then tell me I gotta stay
Tell me I'm all you need

Understand that what goes around comes around
And I don't ever wanna come down
So, baby, tell me who the best
Tell me it's not me
Tell me I gotta go, then tell me I'm all you need

Understand, I am
The renowned, newest talk of the town
When erry'body talk and just keeps on talkin' about
Whats up? tellin' girls "You should call if you down"
And if my phone doesn't ring, then leave it after the pound
'Cause I be up in the air, more than I do on the ground
My city is on my hat, and I'm wearin' it like a crown (Westside)
You're now rockin' with' somebody on they fuckin' bidness
Watch me do it big, no pun intended (Boi)
See, I done seen nights turn to days
Love turn to hate, hugs turn to laids
Niggas turn to sirs, Andre to Spades
'Cause when it turns real, that's when everybody turns fake
Instead of sayin' fuck all 'a y'all and turning away
Man, I was cool enough to say "Fuck it" and let 'em stay
Fuck, I hate to say I told you so
So buying rounds is my way of saying "Told you, hoes"

Understand that what goes around comes around
And I don't ever wanna come down
Baby, tell me it's time to go
Tell me I gotta leave, then tell me I gotta stay
Tell me I'm all you need

Understand that what goes around comes around
And I don't ever wanna come down
So, baby, tell me who the best
Tell me it's not me
Tell me I gotta go, then tell me I'm all you need

Now, I can't tell what's a better accessory
My new watch, or the chick that's standin' right next to me
Killin' niggas at rap, but being the man's my specialty
I love shitting on all my exes especially
Double shots, then re-reload
Let's toast to the interns that made it to CEO
Boss player, collectin' every single check that's owed out
Puttin' on a show until everything is sold out
Man, I'm chillin' with' Jays, 'Ye's, and Common Senses
It's crazy when legends are peers and your competition
I would hate to be a almost nigga
I call ya that, 'cause you gossip like y'all almost bitches
You know, went to school with Jay, and was almost Jigga
Or hooped against LeBron and would almost get 'em
Y'all niggas make me realize how good almost isn't
Would hate to look back on my life and say "I almost did it"
Fuck that, reflectin' on the last chain I bought
They on my tracks, waitin' on the next train of thought
Visualizin' how the crown might be
Got the whole rap game tryna sound like me

Understand that what goes around comes around
And I don't ever wanna come down
Baby, tell me it's time to go
Tell me I gotta leave, then tell me I gotta stay
Tell me I'm all you need

Understand that what goes around comes around
And I don't ever wanna come down
So, baby, tell me who the best
Tell me it's not me
Tell me I gotta go, then tell me I'm all you need

Yeah yeah yeah
This dedicated to my ex girls, both of 'em
It's also dedicated to everybody who be talkin' shit behind my back
Ya'know when I see y'all, y'all act like "Aw, I'm so happy for you"
That's some bitch-ass shit, nigga boi

Understand that what goes around comes around
(This also dedicated to everybody who's fuckin' winnin' today)
And I don't ever wanna come down
Baby, tell me it's time to go
(Everybody gettin' it)
(After niggas said you couldn't get it)

Understand that what goes around comes around
And I don't ever wanna come down
(G.O.O.D. Music and the best)
So, baby, tell me who the best
(No I.D.!)

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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."
