Verse one
I blow'em over wit the club scene
try don for my nine thousand thugs
in the clubs that love green one step
behind Hussin dogs the don me and I'm
well bomb on ya kind like Vietnam
against all odds get cha Benz or rocks
me and kada go against all fog
dog from jeerz infotrate all herds
my last words who gone blast and serve
they told me never say never but I never stay alive
hold me, look in my eyes, say I'm never gonna die
blast pass, ya half ass, staff like Casses Clay
pass the tray, pound gripped wit the satin
pistol packin' fresh out of jail, I ain't goin' back
release me to the care, of my heartless strap
hung over from Hennessy, wit a menace in Tennessee
to creep like, burglars heraldin' all you suckas in the industry

Chorus
I know the rules, you all tryin' to change'em
cuz, you a star, wit ya video models you be frontin'
at the bar, me and my thuggs in back, sippin Yack
relax, tat it down, jus dyin' to go out wit macks

I know the rules, you all tryin' to change'em
cuz, you a star, wit ya video hoes you be frontin'
at the bar, me and my thuggs in back, sippin Yack
relax, tat it down, jus dyin' to go out wit macks

Verse two
It get's hectic yall, switch the rules
get cha tools, my motor for runnin' down cuz
ya bitch inproved, reelected as any, as respected
outlaw glocks, got it locked, wit all these blocks connected
from the east to the west, back home wit tha vest
seen it all and still ball, a dog you can't impress
cores ya soul, wit this gold mic molest
when I blow'em ain't nothin' less, drinkin' in front of ?
don't get prayed over and laid, picked from bein' pounded
tha 41. wit the quick flip speed rounded, clothes you identify
bitch made niggaz, I got a point
I'm out ta minimize, down goes ya squad and ya C.E.O, to
step in the streets, steadily infectin' ya crew
he betta act, or get smacked, wit the ten mack two

Chorus

Verse three
Secerts of war, we bust if we must plus
and handle business, when you jealous playas
fuck wit us, turn the party out
soon as they whip the lime beocardy out
it's all we out, been up all night, when the guards be out
call me out, picture perfect life, when I live it
run ya part of town like Emmitt, only five minutes in it
Militant minded, combined wit a sentence
all you fake thug niggas, ya crimes ain't constant
even po-nine, they give me mine from a distant
my chain dangle, hold the Henny on a strange angle
aim and bang you, who the fuck you tryin' run ya game to
it's crunch time, I'm servin'em when it's lunch time
give me mines, stealin' ya hoe, and I'll throw just one rhyme
yall niggas squealin', my thuggs is still dealin'
got niggas hittin' the ceilin', on them fiffty story buildings
clack back the strap, give me that wit the equipment

Chorus

To all my thuggs, all around the muthafuckin' county nation
world wide, keep on sittin' in the back, wit that Yack
keepin' it real, yall know who it go dowwnnnnnnn
Fatal dog once again, for my outlaw niggas
keep it comin', none muthafuckin' stop
Kadafi rest in peace, my nigga 'pac rest in peace

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
