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.
Good thing we brought the Glock
(U-God)
Yo, yo (clears throat)
Yo, GOOD THING WE BROUGHT THE GLOCK
It's a block party, niggaz just bust shots
Pssh, GOOD THING WE BROUGHT THE GLOCK
Thought you had props, with yo' gangsta bop
GOOD THING WE BROUGHT THE GLOCK
Meet me on the Hill or the Ave. hilltop
Pssh, GOOD THING WE BROUGHT THE GLOCK
You like what you see, my shiny-ass rock
GOOD THING WE BROUGHT THE GLOCK
(Ghostface Killah)
I fuck the shit out of Patricia Drummonds
Looked out the window when her man was comin
GOOD THING WE BROUGHT THE GLOCK
Catch me at the Ruckers game
Playin the side with my spaghetti chain
GOOD THING WE BROUGHT THE GLOCK
Riker's Island shanked down
There go them niggaz who blew Hal my nigga
GOOD THING WE BROUGHT THE GLOCK
I'm at the ATM
Niggaz lookin sneaky in the grey BM
Yo, GOOD THING WE BROUGHT THE GLOCK
(RZA)
Twenty drunk crabs try to push through the back door
GOOD THING WE BROUGHT THE GLOCK
Five boxcutters drawn they was ready for war
GOOD THING WE BROUGHT THE GLOCK
That's that thug down from Southside who tryin to front son
GOOD THING WE BROUGHT THE GLOCK
Little dog bout to flip, someone f**ked his baby moms
GOOD THING WE BROUGHT THE GLOCK
(Chorus: U-God singing)
Never leave home without it
GOOD THING WE BROUGHT THE GLOCK
Y'all niggaz ain't bout it, bout it
GOOD THING WE BROUGHT THE GLOCK
Never leave home without it
GOOD THING WE BROUGHT THE GLOCK
Y'all niggaz ain't bout it, bout it
GOOD THING WE BROUGHT THE GLOCK
(Masta Killa)
You niggaz thought somethin was sweet
Because we rollin with the seeds today
GOOD THING WE BROUGHT THE GLOCK
Back in the A-Train, Halloween
Niggaz in masks, want my name ring
GOOD THING WE BROUGHT THE GLOCK
It's Brooklawn day, Pinkhouse day
Park Hill Stapleton day
GOOD THING WE BROUGHT THE GLOCK
That same cat we stomped out
Seen him at Eastern Parkway, to park (?)
GOOD THING WE BROUGHT THE GLOCK
(Raekwon the Chef)
We in the spot where the money's marked
NARCs just jump through the window yo
GOOD THING WE BROUGHT THE GLOCK
Them niggaz killin young niggaz at will
Check how they did my little man son
GOOD THING WE BROUGHT THE GLOCK
We ain't slaves, we just rich renegades that's paid
Born in the ghetto yo
GOOD THING WE BROUGHT THE GLOCK
Up in the staircase, flooded with cakes
Screwfacin with the dirty eights
GOOD THING WE BROUGHT THE GLOCK
(Chorus)
GOOD THING WE BROUGHT THE GLOCK (repeat 4X to end)
(U-God)
Yo, yo (clears throat)
Yo, GOOD THING WE BROUGHT THE GLOCK
It's a block party, niggaz just bust shots
Pssh, GOOD THING WE BROUGHT THE GLOCK
Thought you had props, with yo' gangsta bop

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
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."
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
