(Oh, oh, do me, baby)
(Oh, oh, do me, baby)

All right, stop whatcha doin' 'cause I'm about to ruin
The image and the style that ya used to
I look funny, but, yo, I'm makin' money, see
So, yo, world I hope you're ready for me
Now gather 'round, I'm the new fool in town
And my sound's laid down by the Underground
I drink up all the Hennessey ya got on ya shelf
So just let me introduce myself
My name is Humpty, pronounced with a Umpty
Yo, ladies, oh, how I like to funk thee
And all the rappers in the top ten
Please allow me to bump thee
I'm steppin' tall, y'all and just like Humpty Dumpty
You're gonna fall when the stereos pump me
I like to rhyme, I like my beats funky
I'm spunky, I like my oatmeal lumpy
I'm sick wit dis, straight gangsta mack
But sometimes I get ridiculous
I'll eat up all your crackers and your licorice
Uh, yo fat girl, come here, are ya ticklish?
Yeah, I called ya fat, look at me, I'm skinny
It never stopped me from gettin' busy
I'm a freak, I like the girls with the boom
I once got busy in a Burger King bathroom, I'm crazy
Allow me to amaze thee
They say I'm ugly but it just don't faze me
I'm still gettin' in the girls' pants
And I even got my own dance

The Humpty Dance is your chance to do the hump
(Oh, do me, baby) come on, uh
Do the Humpty Hump, come on and do the Humpty Hump
(Oh, oh, do me, baby) check me out y'all
Do the Humpty Hump, just watch me do the Humpty Hump
(Oh, oh, oh, do me, baby) yeah
Do the Humpty Hump (do ya know what I'm doin'?)
Do the Humpty Hump (doin' the Humpty Hump) (oh, oh, oh, do me, baby)
Come on, do the Humpty Hump, ha, do the Humpty Hump

People say, "Yo, Humpty, you're really funny lookin'"
That's all right 'cause I get things cookin'
Ya stare, ya glare, ya constantly try to compare me
But ya can't get near me
I give 'em more, see, and on the floor, be
All the girls they adore me
Oh yes, ladies, I'm really bein' sincere
'Cause in a 69 my humpty nose will tickle ya rear
My nose is big, uh-uh I'm not ashamed
Big like a pickle, I'm still gettin' paid
I get laid by the ladies, ya know I'm in charge
Both how I'm livin' and my nose is large
I get stupid, I shoot an arrow like Cupid
I'll use a word that don't mean nothin', like looptid
I sang on Doowhutchalike, and if ya missed it
I'm the one who said, "Just grab 'em in the biscuits"
Also told ya that I like to bite
Well, yeah, I guess it's obvious, I also like to write
All ya had to do was give Humpty a chance
And now I'm gonna do my dance

The Humpty Dance is your chance to do the hump
(Oh, do me, baby) come on, yeah, sexy lady
Do the Humpty Hump, come on, uh, do the Humpty Hump
(Oh, oh, do me, baby) sexy baby, everybody
Do the Humpty Hump, do the Humpty Hump (come on and do the Humpty Hump)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, do me, baby) uh
Do the Humpty Hump (do ya know what we're doin'?)
Do the Humpty Hump (we doin' the Humpty Hump, y'all) (oh, oh, oh, do me, baby)
Uh, do the Humpty Hump, watch me do the Humpty Hump

Oh, yeah, that's the break, y'all
Let a little of that bass groove right here
A-doo-doo, a-doo-doo
Oh, yeah
Now that I told y'all a little bit about myself
Let me tell ya a little bit about this dance
It's real easy to do, check it out

First I limp to the side like my leg was broken
Shakin' and twitchin' kinda like I was smokin'
Crazy, whack, funky
People say, "You look like M.C. Hammer on crack, Humpty"
That's all right 'cause my body's in motion
It's supposed to look like a fit or a convulsion
Anyone can play this game
This is my dance, y'all, Humpty Hump's my name
No two people will do it the same
You got it down when you appear to be in pain
Humpin', funkin', jumpin'
Jig around, shakin' ya rump
And when a doo-doo chump punk points a finger like a stump
Tell him step off, I'm doin' the Hump

The Humpty Dance is your chance to do the hump
(Oh, do me, baby) everybody, uh
Do the Humpty Hump, come on, do the Humpty Hump
(Oh, oh, oh, do me, baby) sexy lady
Do the Humpty Hump (uh), do the Humpty Hump
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, do me, baby)
Do the Humpty Hump (do ya know what I'm doin'?)
Do the Humpty Hump (we're doin' the Humpty Hump, y'all) (oh, oh, oh, do me, baby)
Uh, watch me do the Humpty Hump, uh, do the Humpty Hump
Check it out (oh, oh, oh, do me, baby)

Black people
Do the Humpty Hump, do the Humpty Hump (oh, oh, oh, do me, baby)
Come on, white people
Do the Humpty Hump, do the Humpty Hump (oh, oh, oh, do me, baby)
Puerto Ricans
Do the Humpty Hump, just keep on doin' the hump (do the, do the Humpty Hump)
(Oh, oh, oh, do me, baby)
Samoans
Do the Humpty Hump, do the, do the Humpty Hump

Oh, yeah
Let's get stupid

(Gimme me the music) uh
Do the Humpty Hump, do the Humpty Hump
(Gimme me, gimme me the music)
Everybody do the Humpty Hump, do the Humpty Hump
Uh, gi-gimme me the music
Do the Humpty Hump, come on and do the Humpty Hump
(Gimme me, gimme me the music)
Do the Humpty Hump (do ya know what we're doin'?)
Do the Humpty Hump (doin' the Humpty Hump)

Oh, yeah, gon' and break it down (oh, oh, do me, baby)
Uh, uh
Yeah, yeah, sexy lady (oh, oh, do me, baby)

Once again, the Underground is in the house
I'd like to send a shout out to the whole world
Keep on doin' the Humpty Dance
And to the ladies
Peace and humptiness forever

(Oh, do me, baby)
(Oh, oh, do me, baby)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, do me, baby)
(Oh, oh, oh, do me, baby)

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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."

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.
