(1/2 Chorus)
I've gotta drinkin' problem man one mouth and two hands
And an empty can I ain't got no lucci lucci

(Verse 1)
I'm feelin' that funny feelin' again within walkin' me to the kitchen
For that early morning gin drink it in
Till my thoughts they become clear
Dress my naked air and head the fuck up outta here
Fightin' traffic the hot sun be causin' havoc
Ass stuck to the seat window cracked can't see passed it
The liquor store I just passed it lookin' back
I gotta turn around I can't stop thinkin' exactly that
you-turn the past I leave behind
For the ill bumpin' two busted six by nines
And I feel this day to be a good one of plenty
Even if I'm thirsty and my pockets are empty

(Chorus)
I've gotta drinkin' problem man one mouth and two hands
And an empty can I ain't got no lucci lucci
And y'all don't understand I'm just a simple man
Doin' the best I can without no lucci

(Verse 2)
Come from a long line of alcoholics
Livin' from toilet to toilet you call it
I'm callin' hotlines swervin' all over yellow lines
Drinkin' moonshine damn was that a stop sign
I ain't doin' good but I'll be fine
Danno where's that cheap wine
Drunk since 9 guzzlin' boone's farm
Trying to stop my shakin' arm
I'm here to stumble the earth and forewarn
7 weeks since I had had shower
I black out like you pulled the plug on Georgia Power
Southern discomfort baby
Seein' pink elephants on down the freeway
The proof on the bottle 180 runnin' out of lucciy
And I won't survive if you don't let me borrow another five
I'm a do it anyway if I'm alive

(Chorus)
I've gotta drinkin' problem man one mouth and two hands
And an empty can I ain't got no lucci lucci
And y'all don't understand I'm just a simple man
Doin' the best I can without no lucci

(Verse 3)
Spent my last money on a pabst blue
Ribbon I be gulpin never sippin
'cause I have to
Booted out the crib and that's cool
Lone as I have brew
Face flush stare at a lush
I might bust you in the gums
I gotta problemo
my life's too up tempo
But yo I'm just simple man
whose mind is crippled man
it all started at a partyand
I was only 15 now I can kill a fifth of Bacardi and
I drink and pass out wake up assed out and start again
I been to AA but hey hey gimme the bottle
12 steppers actin like they never took a swallow

(Chorus til fade)
I've gotta drinkin' problem man one mouth and two hands
And an empty can I ain't got no lucci lucci
And y'all don't understand I'm just a simple man
Doin' the best I can without no lucci

    This is a great song, although it has no secret meaning, and is not usually inspiring. My sister and I listened to this CD on the way to Music Midtown 2001 down in Atlanta. It was definitely inspiring that day.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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."

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.
