It's been almost a year since we first met
And that's the day that I'll never forget
Got me all caught up in your web but a new
'Cause you're the type of guy that girls like to sweat
Just so they can see how far they'll get
Maybe take a ride up in your 6
Not ever in that picture could I fit

Ghetto love and heartbreak is always a mistake
Trust your heart to someone
When you think you're in love, cause you think you're in love
They gon' do their own thing
Ghetto thoughts they don't change
So don't give your heart away
'Cause you think you're in love, when you think you're in love

As the days went on I knew
That you were more then sexy more than cute
Had a little look inside your eyes
That no girl could ever say no to
Much personality
A living game for every girl you see
Know just what to say and how to please
But there's no room there for me

Ghetto love and heartbreak is always a mistake
Trust your heart to someone
When you think you're in love, cause you think you're in love
They gon' do their own thing
Ghetto thoughts they don't change
So don't give your heart away
'Cause you think you're in love, when you think you're in love

I tried so hard to believe that you only wanted me
But that was just my fantasy
And you let me down
Playin' around like you were feeling me
But you were busy doing your thing

Ghetto love and heartbreak is always a mistake
Trust your heart to someone
When you think you're in love, cause you think you're in love
They gon' do their own thing
Ghetto thoughts they don't change
So don't give your heart away
'Cause you think you're in love, when you think you're in love

Ghetto love and heartbreak is always a mistake
Trust your heart to someone
When you think you're in love, cause you think you're in love
They gon' do their own thing
Ghetto thoughts they don't change
So don't give your heart away
'Cause you think you're in love, when you think you're in love

Think your in love
Then tell me now
What's really up
If you think I'm the one
I need to know
Don't let me down

Ghetto love and heartbreak is always a mistake
Trust your heart to someone
When you think you're in love, cause you think you're in love
They gon' do their own thing
Ghetto thoughts they don't change
So don't give your heart away
'Cause you think you're in love, when you think you're in love

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."

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.
