Oh
It's real out here
like no one understands sometimes
People can really see what's going on
Like people are just, just going mad in front of me, you get me?
Everyone's growing up too fast, I swear
Feds don't understand us, adults don't understand us
No one understands us
We just live do what we do like, it's real
(Yo) It's Rasket, shout out to all the mad dem
Yo, I'm reppin' I'm trying listen, yo (yo)

Sometimes I wake up wishing I could sleep for ever
I spend my whole life tryna pull myself together
Tryna reassure myself that I ain't going mad (going mad)
I've gotta come to a conclusion it's now or never
Sometimes I wake up wishing I could sleep for years (years)
I've been through anger, pain, blood, sweat, and tears
You think that any kid in my position would be glad (you would)
It's quite the opposite more worries more fears (more fears)
Sometimes I wake up wishing I could sleep for days (days)
It's like I've lost the love I'm only in it 'cause it pays
I find myself back on road things are getting bad
More and more I'm going back to my old ways
Sometimes I wake up wishing I could sleep for good
And if I had the guts to end it all, believe I would
It's getting boring always being miserable and sad
Shit, I would love to be polite I really wish I could
But life's pressures often get me down
Sometimes I feel there's not a lot to smile about so I frown
And I talk a big whole heap of badness
Because my life's a big whole heap of madness
I've seen a lot maybe more than I can take (real)
Under pressure everyday trying not to brake
But I'll survive cause it's what I do best (you get me?)
I'm a challenger put me to the test

Sleep tight everything will be alright (gonna be alright)
By the end of the night, will be the day
Just pray that you see it, strong you gotta be it (see it)
If you want to get through it, stretch your mind to the limit
You can do it

Sleep tight everything will be alright (gonna be alright, believe me)
By the end of the night, will be the day (focus)
Just pray that you see it, strong you gotta be it (don't watch no one)
If you want to get through it, stretch your mind to the limit

It's almost like I've got no world on my shoulder sometimes
Yo I struggle sometimes, you know I'm hating petty crimes
But we live in hard times
No one to turn to and no one to talk to
Life's like a doorway, everybody walk through
Everybody's talking but nobody's listening
Everyday some new shit, week out and week in
All this negativity, why you tryna get at me
All up in my life (wah), where do you get the energy
I don't feel well, but you still bother me
You're giving me a headache man you might as well just clobber me
Blood, lately I've been lonely, but you only phone me
When you want a favor then you wonder why I'm moany
Don't really ask much so I don't owe much
Don't receive a lot of love, so I don't show much
But the little that I do I put it in a song for you
Handle your business 'cause I do, listen

Sleep tight everything will be alright
By the end of the night, will be the day
Just pray that you see it, strong you gotta be it
If you want to get through it, stretch your mind to the limit (comin' back to you)
You can do it

Sleep tight everything will be alright (gonna be alright)
By the end of the night, will be the day (focus)
Just pray that you see it, strong you gotta be it
If you want to get through it, stretch your mind to the limit
You can do it

Shout to all the young boys
E3, do your thing
But I swear to you school
Get what you can out of school (Rasket from Bow E3, that Dizzee Rascal from Bow E3)
It's real out here
Shout out to everyone still hustling
Make it focus, I swear to you
you can do anything, for real (Dizzee Rascal from Bow E3)

I need to talk more

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"

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.

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”

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
