This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Ay yo the prophet is without honor
In your own country,
people swear that you ain't shit because they know your mama
So much drama at the crib it ain't fit to live
And that survival of the fittest shit will split your wig
Cats master doin' bits of illegitimate kids is splitin' dutches
Dealin' with the physical and caught up in his clutches
My way of life bum-rushes pullin' no punches
Silence is golden and all I'm hearin' is hushes, when I'm shinin'
MC's pay attention
I rise like a ascention see more than three dimension
to the situation we facin receivin energy
So you see who your friend and who your enemy
[Morcheeba]
Crashin back down to earth I've found
We can love
Oh let me see
All of the places I can be
Oh let me know
All of the places where we can go
[Talib Kweli]
Yo we rock on shed like light the break of dawn
Stand strong like the words in God's song
b-boys, make some noise and b-girls, rock the world and
[Morcheeba]
Falling apart right from the start
Crawling round
Oh let me see all of the place that I can be
Oh let me know all of the places where we can go
[Talib Kweli]
A blind man feels the wickedest taste is exquisite
He can hear me lound and clear and smell fear in the air
Without sight he gains in-sight and lets me see his true self
not what he wants me to perceive him to be
Perception is deception
Without the facts you keep guessin
That's the image in the mirror so we Eternal Reflection
Forever manifestin' the cleverness in the lesson
Dropin' with authority with no doubt, no question
Yo my man's blazin' more cheeba
Blowin' out like speakers
Keepin' y'all open wide like receivers
We rock on shed like light the break of dawn..
And we stand strong like the words in God's song c'mon
[Morcheeba]
Show us how to stand up strong
Waitin' for you takes so long
Shadows leave us standing naked
We can't fake it
Oh let me see all of the places that I can be
Oh let me know all of the places where we can go
Oh let me see all of the places that I can be
Oh let me know all of the places where we can go
[Talib Kweli]
b-boys, make some noise and b-girls, rock the world and
b-girls, rock the world and c'mon and
Pick it up yes
and we put it down, yes we put it down

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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."

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.
