Somebody hit me the other
Day for a rendezvous
Was it the bitch that fucked the
Goodie and the Dungeon Crew?
Let's say her name was Suzy Skrew
'cause she screwed a lot
Makin' a nigga hit that
Chonk at legitimate spots
Not no parks, backseats
Or things of that nature
Had to hate ya, playa
I'm dickin' the ho down never said I paid her
Straight laid her, slayed the
Bitch like Darth Vader, made her
From College Park and Fayette all
The way down to Decatur like Jada
Her wig was sharp and sporty that was shawty
Safe as a snake on eggs in a Bimmer 840
It's foggy, i went to the crib to call
Her but she lost me
My baby mama beeped me, seven o'clock
It's gonna cost me
But I still wanna cut her
Though maybe she had to work?
I caught her in the mall
Wearin' a real tight skirt
She was fine as fuck I wanted
To sex the ho up she said
"Let's hit the parking lot so
I can sick your duck" i said, "Cool
I really wanted to cut you but this'll do
I gotta pick up my daughter, plus
My baby mama beeped me, too"
She said she understood and
Everythin' was kosher
I gave her a Lil' Wil CD and a fuckin' poster
It's like that, now

It's like that, now
You better go on and get the
Hump up out your back now
It's about fo' or five cats
Off in my 'Lac now we just shoot game in the
Form of story raps now (yeah)
It's like that now, t's like that now

Now Suzy Skrew had a
Partner named Sasha thumper
I remember her number like the summer
When her and Suzy, yeah, they threw a slumber
Party, but you can not call it
That 'cause it was slummer
Well, it was more like spend the night
Three in the mornin', yawnin'
Dancin' under street lights
We chillin' like a villain
And a nigga feelin' right
In the middle of the ghetto on the curb
But in spite of all the bullshit
We on our back, starin' at the stars above
(Aww, man)
Talkin' bout what we gonna be when we grow up
(Mm) i said, "What you wanna be?" She said
"Alive" it made me think for a minute
Then looked in her eyes
I coulda died, time went on, I got grown
Rhyme got strong, mind got blown
I came back home to find lil' Sasha was gone
Her mama said she with a nigga
That be treatin' her wrong (Man)
I kept on singin' my song
And hopin' at a show
That I would one day see her
Standin' in the front row
But two weeks later
She got found in the back of a school
With a needle in her arm, baby two months due
Sasha Thumper

It's like that now
You better go on and get the
Hump up out your back now
It's about fo' or five cats
Off in my 'Lac now we just shoot game in the
Form of story raps now
It's like that now, it's like that now
It's like that now
You better go on and get the
Hump up out your back now
It's about fo' or five cats
Off in my 'Lac now we just shoot game in the
Form of story raps now
It's like that now, it's like that now

Grandmama: Keisha, Keisha! Cut that
Loud mess off
You hear all that thunderin' and lightnin'
And get off that telephone!
Keisha: Ugh, alright
Child 1: Grandmama, what’s all that noise?
Child 2: I’m scared grandmama: Baby
Don’t be scared it's gonna be alright
It’s just the Lord doin' His work, okay?

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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."

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
