To all the people in the house tonight,
Can ya feel me?
To those who live under the street lights at night,
Can ya feel me?
Come on and check this out,
We bout to set this off
Here come the drums

When I let loose,
I come out blazin',
I maintain mannin' all stations,
Fully prepared for all situations,
We blow tracks like shrapnel, with the rap skill,
Shoot to kill, not for thrills, I got an iron grip.
That's the sound we make, no mistake keep the floor warm,
From town to town and state to state,
And yo, we rock da set like an earthquake
Hold it tight too, and too, I just saw,
Strapped to my knife boots..
We bump tracks like a fifteens the flavors me,
And chill like light when it flows through my brain stream,
Ready to fit the script twice when I get nice,
Equally precise, hits you open like head lice,

This time around we're here to let it be known,
Thousand Foot be the kings of this microphone,
This time around we're hear to let it be known,
Thousand Foot be the kings of this microphone now

Out to all the people in the house tonight,
We're gonna keep on rockin' 'till the broad daylight,
So just listen to the sounds comin' through this mic,
We're gonna do this right, do this right.

Set it off!!
Just set it off, right!
Set it off,
Just set it off, right! Come on!
Set it off,
We just set it off, right!
Set it off!
We just set off, right!
(Play it for yah radio)

Fire it up like NASA,
Rockin' it to your, ghetto blaster,
You're quick we're faster,
We got the skills to out last ya,
My mentality stays open,
And if everything's cool,
I'm hopin',
To leave this microphone smokin'
Hope your ready,
My whole team can rock steady,
Makin' noise with my boys,
And watchin' out for poison,
My main objective is to stand for what I believe,
Maybe hear the sounds of the guillotine,

We drop, hit, electrify,
And to all the weak minded till the next in line,
Here we made it in our accord,
Ready to spawn,
Used to go on and on,
But now we just drop bombs,

This time around we're here to let it be known,
Thousand Foot be the kings of this microphone,
This time around we're hear to let it be known,
Thousand Foot be the kings of this microphone now

Out to all the people in the house tonight,
We're gonna keep on rockin' 'till the broad daylight,
So just listen to the sounds comin' through this mic,
We're gonna do this right, do this right.

Set it off!!
Just set it off, right!
Set it off,
Just set it off, right! Come on!
Set it off,
We just set it off, right!
Set it off!
We just set off, right!
(Play it for yah radio)

Just keep on rockin' and don't stop,
Keep rockin' and don't stop
Just keep on rockin' and don't stop,
Keep rockin' and don't stop
Just keep on rockin' and don't stop,
Keep rockin' and don't stop
Just keep on rockin' and don't stop,
Keep rockin' and don't stop

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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"

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
