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.
Oh, you didn't think we can do it again
Twista, Kanye West from Po Pimpin' to Poppin' Tags
From Champions to Slow Jammin', oh, baby
We can even make you a overnight celebrity
Know what I'm sayin'? Come on
Why don't we play somethin' these hoes'll like?
Drive whips I know they like
Twista, you told her right?
I could make you a celebrity overnight
Give you ice like Kobe wife
We sorta like Goldie, right?
The way we mold 'em right
I could make you a celebrity overnight
Girl, I see you in them Apple Bottom jeans
Chinchilla on your back, I wanna know your name
Girl, I'm Twista, I could blow your brains
Put you in a chameleon '04 Range
Still sexy when you smoke that flame
Jerk it like a chicken when you throw that thang
She got me hotter than a oven, the way that she talk
Switchin' to freaky, so I'm lovin' the way that she walk
You lookin' good, girl, you oughta be in pictures
Listen to me, I see your career goin' sky high
Takin' you home to the crib in the Chi
And every time I see your thighs, I cry when I drive by
Watchin' you should be a thrill, got the fellas on some Johnny Gill
Steady screamin', "My, my, my, my!"
Walk on the carpet with the diamonds that flick in the dark
Kickin' it on the couch at 106 & Park
I can see your beauty on the big screen
I can see me freakin' you with whip cream
I can see you on stage at the awards
With a dress better than Jennifer's and doin' big things
Kick it with me, I can mold your life
You lookin' good, girl, show you right
Dre told me you the prototype
I can make you a celebrity overnight
Why don't we play somethin' these hoes'll like?
Drive whips I know they like
Twista, you told her right?
I could make you a celebrity overnight
Give you ice like Kobe wife
We sorta like Goldie, right?
The way we mold 'em right
I could make you a celebrity overnight
Why don't we play somethin' these hoes'll like?
Drive whips I know they like
Twista, you told her right?
I could make you a celebrity overnight
Give you ice like Kobe wife
We sorta like Goldie, right?
The way we mold 'em right
I could make you a celebrity overnight
You want fame, you can take that path
Candlelights 'fore you take a bath
You got such a sensational ass
I'ma get you Jimmy Choo and Marc Jacob bags
I can cop her a 2003
Make her smile when she sees Spre's
I can get you on CDs and DVDs
Take you to BeBe's and BCBG
I can get you in the places to be into
The people to know or show you things to get into
I wanna be your lover and your confidant
And protect you from others, don't ever let a brother pimp you
If you want the stars, you can reach 'em, girl
Y'all, take a look at her, she got such an astonishin' body
I can see you in some Gucci or Robert Cavalli
And I bet she gon' put a hurt on 'em hard in the party
And you know you kill 'em in the club we go
You was born to be a pro, how you pose takin' photos
And I love you 'cause you freaky with the door closed
Drop it to the flo', let that go when you roll slow
And I love it when I hit it from the back
And you get on top of me and have a brother goin', "Oh, oh"
Girl, I love how you roll me right
I can make you a celebrity overnight
Why don't we play somethin' these hoes'll like?
Drive whips I know they like
Twista, you told her right?
I could make you a celebrity overnight
Give you ice like Kobe wife
We sorta like Goldie, right?
The way we mold 'em right
I could make you a celebrity overnight
See, see, baby girl
You see how you make a brother break down
I just gotta ask you, what you need?
What you need from me? Oh, you wanna be a star?
Oh, you messin' with the right one
I can take you there
I can make sure you've got all the finest things
Let me be your manager
Come here, girl, I could see you bored
Turn you to the queen that I see you for
Take you shoppin' on sprees in stores
I'ma get you to the MTV awards
We about to do a show tonight
You lookin' good girl, show you right
Take you places I know you like
I could make you a celebrity overnight
Come here, girl, you could hang if you bored
We could do plenty things plus more
I'm about to have you change in the stores
I can even get you to the Soul Train awards
We about to do a show tonight
You lookin' good, girl, show you right
Take you places I know you like
I could make you a celebrity overnight

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
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."

No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
wha wha WHA? damn hes fast. i think they should have given credit to the little chipmunk in the backround....he had more parts than Kanye..
