I'm a rat in a maze
i'm headed in the wrong the direction
if societies the cure
well then i'm the infection
when i was younger i tried hard to a find a place within it`s structure
but the more that i tried
the more i fuckin suffered
its so hard, its so hard, so fucking hard to live this life
my gun is fuckin loaded and i'm begining to see the light
i knew all along that it was wrong, when you told me it was right
all these fuckin' rules and regulations hold me down
i open up my mouth to scream, but no one hears a sound
cause they're too busy buying up
everything thats been selling
that's why i chose to live
a fuckin' lifestyle of rebellion
its so hard, its so hard, so fucking hard to live this life
my gun is fuckin loaded and i'm begining to see the light
i knew all along that it was wrong, when you told me it was right

    Capdown are a little like AAA, but i wouldn't say much like them. For a start, Capdown have MUCH more energy and Political views. Also, Capdown have a tendancy to play quite a bit of Ska.

    i dont think so, AAA is really polical, Capdown is just more open about it, for AAA you have to think about the lyrics and look deeper

    If it wasn't for Stza's voice, I'd say Leftover Crack and Choking Victim were pretty close to AAA. Politically, anyway.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.

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.
