ALL WALKS OF LIFE UP IN HERE TONIGHT BABY!!!

This bitch Rashell fucked on her boyfriend in her boyfriend's bed
and Crazy Carlos smacked his baby mama off in the head
and Jonathan beat his son like his daddy beat him
but he swore he'd never do nobody like his daddy did him
and then Sandra used used her pussy hole to get to the top
and Baby D he shot somebody it went bad from the drop
and then Diane worked at a hospital, took care of old souls
she was abusive, her afterlife sees no gold roads
and Mr. Richards was a richie fella born with every penny
everyone around him hungry but he never gave 'em any
and then Steven was a business man, an educated citizen
at the top, pornography of children in his laptop
take your spot and hang on cause it's crowded in hell
you in the belly of the beast now, it was heaven in jail
and don't try to make no friends 'cause don't nobody got no tongues
and if the Witch looks your way somehow it crushes your lungs

Playa Playa was a boss man callin' out shots
until he caught one, then everything stops the floor drops
as he screamin and fallin' we see how pointless was the ballin'
when eternity is callin' agony will be appallin'

Don't cry for the dead 'cause they cry for you

because we laugh about an aftermath but they know how true
and listen, ain't no fuckin' body gettin it worse than you and me
and ain't nobody gettin' it worse than you and me and we will see
a pterodactyl swoop through the caverns of hell
and carry two unfortunates off to the Ogre's cell
it ain't no guards playin' cards, ain't no uniforms needed
you the only one around butt naked, bloody, and bleedin'
with 7 demons in your ear got you believein' your heathen
talk you into pullin' out your own intestines to get even
you were born with the shine but you lost it down the line
you fuck life up and you can't rewind

Fuck what you're tellin' me
WE BURNING UP
The Witch keeps sellin' me
WE BURNING UP
Sins we earn 'em up
THEY KEEP TURNING UP
And we turn corrupt
TIL WE BURNING LOVELY

Judge Shaw was a judge snake holes are his eyes
there go another judge, another judge, somebody dispise
and there go so many judges, the judges, in hell
so many fuckin' judges in hell, they bludgeon 'em well
Fat Pat like his daddy was a bigot pullin' duty
he can tell it to them gargoyles fuckin' on his booty
and Shawna liked money but mistook it for love
now when the Witches wings spread she give him head and look above
Black Sundays, Armageddon, Maggots and Rape
Hell's Pit got some fire for you faggots with hate
Eddie Burrow hit his wife and put her tooth in his knuckle
later on he lost his life in a scuffle now he in troubble

You was a rebel you nobody no more
to the devil on the double you go
Ain't no level to the trouble you know
and eternity goes and eternity goes

Fuck what you're tellin' me
WE BURNING UP
The Witch keeps sellin' me
WE BURNING UP
Sins we earn 'em up
THEY KEEP TURNING UP
And we turn corrupt
TIL WE BURNING LOVELY

Fuck what you're tellin' me
WE BURNING UP
The Witch keeps sellin' me
WE BURNING UP
Sins we earn 'em up
THEY KEEP TURNING UP
And we turn corrupt
TIL WE BURNING LOVELY

    seems obvious to me that its about all the different things people do to get them sent to hell, I would be interested to see what the witch represents, they talk about her in a number of songs on this CD.

    They have said in interviews that "The Witch" represents Satan

    Yeah thats right, and if you look at the book as you listen to the song, the first track when he says Satan´s tail, its says the Witches tail in the book. But yeah this song is so great except it almost makes it seem like the only thing that´ll happen in hell is you´ll be giving head to demons and getting sodomized by gargoyles. lol.

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."

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Amazing
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.
