You're not dealin with the typical
I'm Queen Order in the physical
Original worshippin a little real sense to the art symbol
Keepin you in traditional lacin the listener
With principles like it's medicinal in addition to
Numeral recordables that be sellin me to the pentacle
Of being lucid, so I never come elusive
Truths I get loose with that amuse it then use it
To captivate the youth through my creative juices
Daily come students on my school of thought not ever truant
So enter into language and the oral I speak fluent
Be.. when I shine

"I see my influence still shinin"

Heads out there babblin
Life is a gamble and you've gotta hustle
My methods various ways to cut you
When exercisin my vocal muscle
Give back to my people through song cause I love to
Not just an actor ? capitalizin upon the struggles
Of stringin along the troublesome
Overstate my purpose as bein one who comes to provide a little hope
For them play my position, to the fullest on intuition
Drop a jewel or two but tricks are for whoever want to listen cause
I can't distort vision of those completely blind
So I keep that in mind, when I shine, knahmsayin?
Teach those who want to be taught
Craft fluid within the beats y'all

"Stereophonic or mono my lingo tingle topics revolve.."
"I see my influence still shinin"

"Stereophonic or mono my lingo tingle topics revolve.."
"No doubt"

Presentin dark sounds, cause we in some cruicial time now
And I'm tryin to leave a mark before they place me in the ground
Holdin it down, much deeper now than before
Mature, rhetoric to even out the score
Detour, what was once considered hardcore
To counteract the efforts of these pseudo-thugs and whores
Armageddeon's a brain war, and I command more
Willin to have my frame torn for what I stand for
For, at least for my belief the substance intertwine
Exert from my bloodline, to shine, one more time
At least for my belief the substance intertwine
Exert from my bloodline, to shine

"Stereophonic or mono my lingo tingle topics revolve.."
"I see my influence still shinin"
"No doubt"

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,

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.

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.
