The Like – Don't Make a Sound Lyrics 12 years ago
I don't know exactly what this is about, but I get the feeling a girl and a guy met up and she had something planned to tell him - and things went very wrong. It has a creepy feeling to me, like she broke up with him then he murdered her or she killed him. I just get the feeling one is killing the other and saying "don't make a sound". Either that, or I'm just even more morbid than I thought... ;P

...also I think the line "If I be the F, who the F be the I?" is a play on "F.B.I." as well.

They told me this is a free country
But now it feels like a chicken factory
I feel cooped up, I wanna bust free
Got nothin' to lose if you get me (if you get me...)

Like a Taliban trucker eatin' boiled up yuca
Keep my eyes down like I'm in a black burqa
Been through shit, yeah, it's a fucka
But now I make tunes, say shuck-a-lucka-lucka

Shuck-a-lucka-la
Shuck-a-lucka-lee
Shuck-a-lucka-lucka-lucka
Lucky, lucky me

If you check me, I check you
If they kick you, then I'll back you
Say somethin' new, say somethin' cool
Give you my time, but I ain't no fool

Eck-a-eck-a I
Break-a-break-a jaw
Every, every time
Someone steps on my toe

I fight the ones that fight me

I really lovalot, I really lovalot
I really lovalot, I really lovalot

But I fight the ones that fight me
But I fight the ones that fight me
I fight the ones that fight me

But I fight, but I fight
But I fight, but I fight
But I fight the ones that fight me

Who's in town?
Them nuh like me, me nuh like them
Like Hu Jintao
Instead of them I got a newfound gem
Someone I can love up like men
Like Obama needs to love up Chen

Like a hand-me-down, sucka throwin' bombs at Mecca
Call it good-will, get money to get better
Keep your head down like a UNICEF worker
If you get hit you can't question the fucka

How come? How come I? Yeah but, yeah but why?
If I be the F, who the F be the I?
If you met me then you get me
But if you get me, well, you get a fee
Shit's meant to be free, where's Bob Marley?
'Cause I won't turn my cheek like I'm Gandhi

I fight the ones that fight me
I fight the ones that fight me
I really lovalot, I really lovalot
I really lovalot, I really lovalot

But I fight the ones that fight me
But I fight the ones that fight me
I fight the ones that fight me

But I fight, but I fight
But I fight, but I fight
But I fight the ones that fight me

I think it's odd people are saying the whole "a lot" = "Allah" thing. You guys remember she's a brit, right? This is the way she would normally pronounced a lot. The t is very soft, barely there. I'm not saying there isn't that connection, as if it was intentional, it sure is clever, but 1.) she is not muslim and 2.) again, it's the normal way for a Brit to pronounce a lot.
