[ VERSE 1: Antoinette ]
Ain't I something? So many rappers wanna get me
They stand in front of me and can't hit me
So sling, hm, I just love it
And if you're jealous, I think nothin of it
Cause with me, you can't mess with
You wanna try this? That's a death wish
And survival is unrealistic
And if you're broken up, let me fix this
Matter of fact, I can't let a rapper win
I ain't re-run, that ain't happenin
They try to sample me everyday somehow
And try to dis this? Ts.. come, come now
Why move in my direction?
Play it safe, get some protection
Silly rabbits, they bring a condom
So I laugh, and then I bomb them
Bring the bomb squad, I'm a time bomb
I explode, even when I rhyme calm
Takin titles, what is that, some type of joke?
Oh - I hoped
Cause if it was, you'd be in trouble
Hurry, quick, move on the double
In this rap game you're a reject
So make like a tape and eject
Now there, don't try to play bold
Half-step to Antoinette, you shake, rattle & roll

[ male voice whispering ]
(Knock em out, come on girl, knock em out
Knock em out)

Shake, rattle & roll

(Knock em out, come on girl, knock em out
Knock em out)

[ VERSE 2: Antoinette ]
We can do this, cause you're child's play
Don't toy me, or must I say
Yo, break north, step back one
Hold your eye, or it'll be a black one
So get Red Cross, cause that's your need
And as for me, I'm a rapper of a raw breed
You wanna move on, then move quick
Who's the best? Let's see who you've picked
Ts, ts, ts... go get her
Bring two, we're havin double head up
It's such fun puttin two heads out
Yo G Off, get a few ???? out
Cause they believed the hype and
Now they'll be wipin
Up the mess I left behind me
I lose myself so they can't find me
Now the Gangstress is at large and
You're a private and I'm a sergeant
So troops, it's time to get fresh
And follow Antoinette as I do the Kick Step

Shake, rattle & roll

(Knock em out, come on girl, knock em out
Knock em out)

Shake, rattle & roll

(Knock em out, come on girl, knock em out
Knock em out)

[ VERSE 3: Antoinette ]
(Ready?) I'm ready as I'll ever be
I use deodorant, but some still sweat me
But I stay calm with a smooth tone
Hurry quick, buy a tombstone
Cause playin is somethin that I don't do
Make my day, why won't you?
I'm the host, but this ain't a game show
That only takes place over the rainbow
I chase chuckwagons, let's get so
You're like my pet, so play petro
Save Chuck for the wagon, it fits
Amongst all the pieces of kibbles and bits
Cause I'm good (ahh) to the last drop
Of course, I just can't stop
And stardom is where I'm destined
In this profession, yup, I'm the best in
You're still riffin? Yo, bank that
Hit the side door before I spank that
Stop scrappin, huffin and puffin
Sorry, Sally, you ain't sayin nothin
Much, you can't school this
And if you thought so, that's quite foolish
So remember, don't try to play bold
You half-step to Antoinette, you shake, rattle & roll

(Knock em out, come on girl, knock em out
Knock em out)

Shake, rattle & roll

(Knock em out, come on girl, knock em out
Knock em out)

Shake, rattle & roll

(Knock em out, come on girl, knock em out
Knock em out)

Shake, rattle & roll

(Knock em out, come on girl, knock em out
Knock em out)

(Knock em out
Come on, knock em out
Knock em out
Knock em out
Come on girl, knock em out)

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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."
