A woo-hoo, it's goin down out here - that's right
Ninety-eight style
Everything is lookin up lookin bright y'know
It's goin, goin the right way
Seein what I need to be seein, and
Feelin what I, what I need to be feelin
It's alright..

[The Grouch]
Everyday I get a little closer, didn't want to boast or brag
No talking bad, strictly fun on this one here
Done nearly instant, bang it out, high off life-style
I bring it out to slang it, musical arrangement
Maybe it's a plate that's to my liking
Striking you it's good to listen to him he's exciting
That's why I'm writing and, why they're biting
Rare sitings of them ? keep me fighting, on moving
Strong losing long nights of sleep to peak
Types of deep thoughts kept far from being talked for cheap
Meet reality face to face, ? be laced with taste
Full taste I am grateful wait
I don't push it around, I let my sounds speak
Pound beats for therapy - dare to be a patient?
Share with me adjacent lines, we facing times
Terrible this nation's crimes unbearable find
Repairable ways to be paid and stay laid
Should you trade and you spray fool I'm afraid
Displays like a freak show, they tweak though
Fiendin for the sequel
And you know what that equals - better than the last
I'm forever on that task, when a champ come to take
What you wish is your choice you can diss use your voice
I'm like this, regardless I wanna be the smartest
Not the hardest, artist on the farthest plane

Chorus: The Grouch (repeat 2X)

You better recognize the name
Grouch and Living Legends here to drop a little game
It's not hard to see, I started with the basics
Built up can't replace it I ace it, any test

[The Grouch]
Any test.. you better recognize the name
It's not hard to see, nope
It's not hard to see..

[PSC]
As the test gets aced, reality is faced
While you searchin for your new beginnin I continue lacin
Tracks and wax, all types of dope product
Symbolic of my rise to victory while you fall off
You sellout, ??? ??? ??? ???
Catch me on the beach where the girls leave bikini
Tops in they bags and, some titties sag
Like my navy blue dickies, fuck drinking Mickey's
Got Solnac, fake Hennesee fuckin with me
I even hit the blunt, what more do you want?
I quit beadies, despise cigarettes but you see me
Toleratin til some of my homies get it straight
Come with me, get yourself a dose of this dope Dude
Kinda like Devin no regret outloud act rude
It's too true, had to learn my business while I "Boo Boo"
That's where you cats find me, haters be behind me
I flush em, wipe em out the frame it's ridiculous
How many underground crews wanna get with us?
Jealousy enmity enemy, point em out
Read the liner notes but the tape was a joke
Learn the fundamentals over instrumentals
I rip excelling in the art disassembling a punk bitch
Bubble up elsewhere, shaking off my coattails
Busters goin nowhere, goin nowhere

Chorus

[The Grouch]
Any test.. it's not hard
You better recognize the names
You better.. you better

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."
