Sing the letter g
Hmm, okay, "G!"
Lightning fire magic prayer
Lightning fire magic prayer

(N.E.R.D) Light bulb, fire and cause of all that is
There was, and will be, beyond beginnings and end
The town, they say it's you, that starts the fire
Without matches that will open desire

Live wire going through your body
Burn the old make you anew
It's a mystical experience party
The universal connection to you
Where do I begin?
Mad ethnic
(Mad ethnic) Where do I begin?
Mad ethnic
(Mad ethnic) Where do I begin?

Lightning fire magic prayer
Far beyond the gaseous layer
What if we all put our hands in the air
For that lightning fire magic prayer

Sometimes, you may have to do unpopular things
For them to see your faith may be the same
You may not refer to it by a name
Long as you know it is from whence you came

Live wire going through your body
Burn the old make you anew
It's a mystical experience party
The universal connection to you
Where do I begin?
Mad ethnic
(Mad ethnic) Where do I begin?
Mad ethnic
(Mad ethnic) Where do I begin?

Catch me out here

Catch me out here

(Hey!)
They got that crazed look in their eyes
Something in the water
Everybody's in a trance
Because the brainwash is in high tide
Something in the water
You can tell when they dance

Wasn't everything that everybody promised
Once you tried it, did you think that you could stop it?
Everything has a cost, did you profit?
You can't see your life until you sit and watch it

They got that crazed look in their eyes
Something in the water
Everybody's in a trance
Because the brainwash is in high tide
Something in the water
You can tell when they dance

Hey young fish, doesn't know that it's wet, yeah
Once it swims, it starts drinking, it forgets, yeah
Know the fish bowl is your technology
No direction, telling everybody "follow me"

Can somebody burst the dam?
Waiting for the great, I am
Can somebody burst the dam?
Waitin' for the great, I am

Come on now, lightning fire magic prayer
I can't believe it's never been dead
Imagine if at once, all hands in the air
In the lightning fire magic prayer

Where do I begin?
Where do I begin? (Mad ethnic)
Where do I begin? (Mad ethnic)
Where do I begin?

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.

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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
