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.
This is it, what
Luchini pourin' from the sky
Lets get rich, what
The jiggy vines and sugar dimes
Cant quit, what
Now pop the cork and steam the Vega
And get lit, what, what, what
Introducin' phantom of the dark
Walk through my heaven with levitation
From reefers, drenching divas in E7
Showboatin' with Rugars
Flash vines, Belafonte vigor
Lets skate for what it's worth
As we confiscate your figures
Casanova Brown, levitatin' jiggy in dashikis
A la hotta car, 54, chasin diamond runners
Headed ice bound, the big chilla diamond convention
Harlem Buck Strut, freezing world heist, Hollywood
Madame Butterfly let me in your house of pleasure
From the knuckle Swatch, shadowboxers catchin' black-eyed blues
I play the thief, what
Sensations at the Mardi Gras be screaming Chee-ba
Fulfilling pleasures in my castles, blow the smoke out
The Garcia Vega substitutes when the Dutch is gone
The Lo don't stop, give me shouts
It's the seasoned sauteers
Soufflers for swervin' on corners
We magnets to moolah
Livin' with Charlie's Angels on us
No smilin' were slidin'
That gets you caught up in the octa
Or deaded for movin'
It's just like that as we proceed
Saturday night special better take it light, you Jah Jah
You're a captain, quest to the coast of Key Largo
Wire the chain gang, keep your ears out for Roy Ayers
Sip the Fontainebleau, house of bamboo paradise
This is it, what
Luchini pourin' from the sky
Lets get rich, what
The jiggy vines and sugar dimes
Cant quit, what
Now pop the cork and steam the Vega
And get lit, what
This is it, what
Luchini pourin' from the sky
Lets get rich, what
The jiggy vines and sugar dimes
Cant quit, what
Now pop the cork and steam the Vega
And get lit, what, what, what
Fallen pharaohs courtesy of Black Caesar, the convincer
Silky days, satin nights, taking flight, Donald Goines
Sweet sensation Spanish flying with the lady Scarface
Bottoms up sunshine, Love Potion No. 9
And we hailin' from the Magic City
Transcending Suede-a on your aura
Found 'chini in London, relaxation in Bora Bora
Got notion to bring it, sing it, never been my function
Stonin', robbin', we hiestin' merchandise and gunnin'
Love it, leave it, but bless the war chief for his bison
Get it, got it, the Lo will forever be nicin'
Yeah, the Sonny Cheeba he be sippin' Armaretta
The Geechie Grace, yes, he be sippin' Armaretta
We float the tri-state drink in this satin vines
This Coolie Hijacked packed from the sugar shack
Then what we do after we sip the Armaretta
We start the Harlem River Quiver, dig it sweet daddy
Sharpen the crimson blade, High Sierra serenade
Anatomy for seduction be this ebony junction
Yeah, as we exit the place with grace
Drizzy Armaretta, the burstin' of clouds
It pours, everything seems better on flats with love
We move, only in the mist
It's Lo, its life
And we can't get enough of this
Yeah, this is it, what
Luchini pourin' from the sky
Lets get rich, what
The jiggy vines and sugar dimes
Cant quit, what

And then I do something with this Spanish Fly, yeah
And then I float down south with the Boogie Flats
And then I slide up in between a ziggy buttocks
And all of that, yeah

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

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.
k, let's decode this thing:
sugar dimes means: smart, intriguing women that can be brought home to mother.
Steam the vega means: to excite your sound system /steam: to exite. /vega: a well known speaker system
that's all i have so far on the first verse. I think there is revolut10nary meaning in this, especially cause in the video, they are robbing building with nixon mask and a kennedy mask? i'm a dumb ass 22 year old, so i could be completely wrong
i got no idea what they are talking bout.. but this song is fuckin tight good beat
haha yeah i dont think anybody has an idea wat theyre talkin bout but they ARE fresh ta def
leathers showboatin with Rugars: leathers is a term for bikers or biker gear, maybe this is a term for being well dressed or trendy.
showboating: To have a visibly exaggerated idea of ones own skills, talents, or abilities. Rugars = Guns.
He's talking about dressed up people with guns that don't know how to use them. Which means they're in New York, NOT TEXAS.
flash vines: Flash: to suddenly go from a fine demeanor to an aggressive/hostile one.
What does vines mean? Vigga means vietnameese black person figgas means: "money" or "doller bills"
First, some errors: "levitating jiggy in da shiggy's" should be "levitating jiggy in dashikis" (although I'm not sure how you can be jiggy in a dashiki, but whatever) "boss of vega" should read "garcia vega" - a brand of cheap cigar used to roll blunts (like dutches)
I also think, although I'm a lot less sure about this, that "chessin this" should read "transcending." I don't konw what it means in context, but it sounds to me like that is what he says.
also, I'm similarly unsure about this: but it sounds like instead of "a happy time quest to the coast of key largo" he says "el capitan, quest..." as though it's an order to someone piloting a boat. Again, this isn't because it makes any more sense, but because that it what it sounds like he is saying
"at the monte barbie" could be "at the monte bar, we..." since from what I can tell, monte barbie isn't anything - but that's just a complete guess
"We float the tri-state drink in this satin vines" should read "we float the tri-state draped in these sating vines"
I'll try my best to help with the translation: I think camp lo is best listened to when not trying to understand every line. I mean, how could you? It's riddled with so much slang that you would have to be them to konw what they are talking about all of the time. Instead, the entire feel of this song, and the whole album, is sort of a funk meets diamond thieves meets the high life. And the way they talk is often without any setup or introduction. They just throw you into a situation that they are describing... in words nobody can decipher
so, what I can decipher: from the last line that I corrected, "vines" appears to refer to clothing. They float the tri-state in satin clothes, I guess (although maybe that's just a shorthand for "expensive")
most of the chorus is self-explanatory, but just in case nobody knows, sometimes people steam the cigar (the vega) before they empty out the tobacco... uh, when rolling a blunt, of course
car 54 is probably a reference to the old sitcom - a cop show. I suppose that's them running from the cops after one of their many diamond heists
"sippin'fountain root" is probably "fountain blue"... but "sippin'" makes no sense there, so it leads me to believe that is an incorrect word - although I can't make out an alternative... maybe "tippin'" or "sipped at" (although that would mean the line before isn't completely right either) but I'm led to believe that because the surrounding parts are steeped in florida - key largo, spanish flying with the lady scarface, magic city. Fountain Blue would make sense in that context... that whatever they are talking about at that point in the song is taking place in florida. I guess Harlem isn't big time enough to spend your diamond money. of course that's jsut the first of their stops on the jet-setting tour (london, bora bora)
I don't know. This song is fucking awesome, but it is impossible to decipher. The lyrics are hard to distinguish, and when you do, the meaning still eludes. Although, I think the main problem is getting the lyrics right... which I can't do
I just noticed that one of my corrections has a typo in it satin vines, not "sating"
These guys had a fly jive. Cheeky stylez fosho!
Jeez these guys are so awesome!! My friend showed me this song and they are sooooo chill! Such a good rap song... GOLD!!!! Miss dem days
