featuring Butter & Jeni Fujita



[Jeni Fujita]

Flash The Message...



[Forte' Verse 1]

Yo...You make me want to vomit

Yo pay homage and dos e doe my sonnets

I school y'all niggas slow on socios and economics

You mostly know about the dough from airplay

You only know about the heaters from the shit that we spray

Import from Vietnam cats like my man Phillipe'

(?) Bustin' crimes back(?) I label it permanent sleep stay(?)

y'all cronies souped up

My men ain't near dumb, we grew up

You want your hair done? Hey, FUCK around and get your crew cut

I organize the mental

And live my life as the next essential

Speak on this wild shit, as If I could begin to

Who fall quick? Too many niggas fightin' over small shit

You'll find me flippin' stocks, on boats that never dock

I travel blocks, pick the best man

Bust shots at the yes man, 'cause it was destined

for me to flip investments

Bag a lie, in the basement of the Best Western

And if you don't want the consequence, then don't ask the question!



[(Butter - Singing) Jeni Fujita in parentheses] - Chorus

In Ninety Nine

Some blow nines

and some stayed indoors! (Flash The Message, something's out there!)



Ninety Nine, is the time

When the deaf, dumb and blind

All catch war! (Flash The Message, something's out there!)



[Forte' - Verse 2]

It's like...

Me and my crew

And a little tour show

Learned to flip the dough

With the money we've got

In Ninety Nine, more war, more crime

Some'll stay behind doors, and some blow nines

Your conception is annoying

Leave the things we was born in

The street nights, and hope we see the following morning

Niggas sold soul, for gold ropes

Do crimes, for new shines

Poor beer out on the spot, where police drew lines

Hey yo word, we thirty plus

Wear guns that's dirty (?) bust (?)

Ask your men pa, you should've been more (What?)...courteous

Like my rain drop

And all my li'l niggas rockin' tank tops

And sell arms, like government bonds, in Bangkok

Bank stops on lavish trips

Soils I marry with, a dime piece!

A (?)rester oil(?) who speaks in Arabic

If the karat fit, wear it

Every man I know hold

more so, y'all niggas happy when you barely go gold!





[Chorus 1x]





[Forte' - Verse 3]

This time it's personal...

You like the artistry

Rappers just reuse their first cut

They say the same shit forever,

and the use the word, so

They ain't competing, they knew they was beatin', from the jump

You get FUCKED! Grammatically speaking...

You funny man

Catch me on tour, A town near you

With 20 Grand (Pikasoe), man it's etiquette

Snatch your mouth off, for rhetoric

I hold the greets from the street

Yet subtle for lockin' shit

Majored in Poly Sci, with a double doctorate!



[Chorus 2x]

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."

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

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.
