As I sit on the edge of my bed
Rocking back & forth, stressing
Hand holding my head
Thinking that I'm just really just wasting my time
With these words & rhymes
And this dream that I'm gone shine
I've seen a lot of cats that wanted to blow
But between the years, they gave up
They not here no more
And I fear that I might be next
And that's something I fret
Cause I'm tired of getting these small checks
Everyday manual labor for a couple of cents
Common folks living in shacks the size of tents
I'm like man, this can't be life, this can't be right
It's gotta be a place where the sun shines bright
Where kids can go play in harmony & peace
And no more daily harassment
By these crooked ass police
I watch it all as I sip my beer
Before I give up hope
I hear this man singing in my ear, yeah
It's been a long time coming
A change is much needed
My faith is unstable
I struggle to keep breathing
Music's my dream
But it's hard believing
Why would he bless me
When I'm just a heathen
Junkies need dope
I'm there to please 'em
I hustle, I run with demons
Through music, I'm trying to teach 'em
Like Malcolm, I came to lead 'em
Good music, I'm proud to feed 'em
Eat till you can't eat no more
Street niggas, lost women really need my flow
Really, I need you, It's my time to blow
If a change gone come, let it come, fa sho!
I'm honest, I need to know
It's been too hard living, but I ain't trying to go
I'm driven, I'm trying to show
Every rapper out of Texas ain't rhyming slow
From the streets, grounded me
What a beautiful rose?
It's stats show that we're an endangered species
Some people say we're nasty & we smell like feces
It's still racism, if you live below the Mason-Dixon Line
Jim Crow still exist, it's just a new time
Take heed to my rhyme
I'm sounding like Rakim
Back when he was in his early prime
And I'm thinking of a master plan
For me & my daughter
No else is gone give us a helping hand? Yeah!
I'm just a hardened man
In the cold-ass land
Trying to do the very best that I can
From getting locked up, shot up
Or a bum on the streets
I'd rather stock up, invest
And keep serving y'all heat
But these rivals want to see me & my crew fail
Putting obstacles in our way, but we still will prevail
And I put that on everything I love
Even the one's that gone, floating in the Heavens above

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
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.

I Can't Go To Sleep
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.

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.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
