The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
My leather so soft, my top so soft
I probably have it off, these niggas so soft
And I go so hard
Bitch I go so hard
She said my leather so soft, my top so soft
I probably have it off, these niggas so soft
And I go so hard
Bitch I go so hard
Yeah look
I get money ho, fuck what you talkin' 'bout
Straight out the slaughterhouse, straight out the dragon's mouth
Fire you can't put out
Tires are standin' out
The coupe look pigeon-toed
I be in a different mode
I be with them different hos
No I mean them different hos
I mean them Weezy bumbaclot different hos
And as far as terrific goes
They kiss that dick with no mistletoes
Diamonds and pearls and pussy holes
Snortin' coke 'til they nose bleed
I'm sittin' high on them inches, I'm in the nosebleeds
I'm on a paper chase, until my toes bleed
Then I get on these beats and let my soul bleed
I put 'em in ya head and watch the holes bleed
My rag always red, like when them hos bleed
Now that's cold bleed, no I mean cold blooded
And I'm so southern, that's why
My leather so soft, my top so soft
I probably have it off, these niggas so soft
And I go so hard
Bitch I go so hard
She said my leather so soft, my top so soft
I probably have it off, these niggas so soft
And I go so hard, yeah
Bitch I go so hard
Nigga on the yacht smokin' Cohibas nigga, yeah
She soft as a bush nigga, she purple like kush nigga
We high on that money nigga, we get it from cook nigga
Hit her with that crook nigga, fuckin' witj crooks nigga
Know we 'bout that money and we stackin' like books nigga
Know what I do nigga, them teardrops is true nigga
We stay so fly, ride Bentley coupes nigga
Rolls Royce garnishes and asses by the beaches
Blowin' on that puff and we drivin' foreign features
Higher than whoever nigga know we 'bout that cheddar nigga
Know I got a Tommy gun, gave one to my young'n, son
And we got it together
Forty-seven fifty-one, you gon' hear us when we come, daddy
My leather so soft, my top so soft
I probably have it off, these niggas so soft
And I go so hard
Bitch I go so hard
She said my leather so soft, my top so soft
I probably have it off, these niggas so soft
And I go so hard, yeah
Bitch I go so hard
You see the paper gon' come
If not I'm gon' get it
I gotta die with money 'cause I wasn't born with it
It was nine twenty-seven
Eighty two baby do Charity
Hospital aka the city zoo
No pity due to no one
Nobody not all man
They dropped us in the game and everybody's tryna ball
And the small hand'll touch ya
The large hand'll cut ya
But until that day
I'll be a motherfuckin' stunna, nigga
Ball 'til I fall, I done did it for my dogs
Ball 'til I fall, I done did it for y'all
Ball 'til I fall, I done did it for me nigga
Ball 'til I fall, that's the way it's gon' be nigga
Up in the early I done did it for sunshine
Candy on the paint every time I touch mine
Nine stay cocked 'cause I'm good with firin' mines
Alligator with the suede ridin' them twenty-fives
My leather so soft, my top so soft
I probably have it off, these niggas so soft
And I go so hard
Bitch I go so hard
She said my leather so soft, my top so soft
I probably have it off, these niggas so soft
And I go so hard, yeah

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."

Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
Blue
Ed Sheeran
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
i think it says diamonds and pearls and pussy "holes"
fuckin sweet.
This line is slightly incorrect..."It was 9/27, 82 baby do charity, hospital, AKA the city who has no pity to no one nobody"...the correct version of this is...."It was 9/27, 82 baby do charity, hospital, AKA the city ZOO, no pity to no one nobody, not all man, they drop us in the game and everybody's tryin to ball." This is what makes me appreciate rap.
Sorry... still slightly incorrect....<br /> <br /> "It was 9/27, '82 (the year), baby DUE ("due date" of a baby, Wayne was born September 27th, 1982), Charity Hospital* (the actual name of the hospital where he was born in New Orleans, shut down after Katrina hit), AKA the city zoo (yes, nicknamed the "zoo" because the hospital was in a really poor part of town), no pity due to no one, nobody.... (just talkin about being born into poverty/lower class, not born w/ a silver spoon in his mouth)
yeh... amazing beats and really freaken good lyrics. love it.
wow.
one of my favorite songs everr
i like the in depth verse and rhyme pattern
wow... lil wayne rhymes with bleed 7x in a row and birdman uses nigga to rhyme 10 times in a row... they're both so talented. who couldn't do that?
lets see.. wheres your professional rap contract? question answered.
Hey limp dick, Willaim Hung was given a record deal and has released four albums. If you can't understand my point it's only because your a fucking idiot.
Correction: "Tires that standin out The coup look pidgeon-toed"
"Then I get on these beats, and let my soul bleed"
I love that line. nice!
wow... lil wayne rhymes with bleed 7x in a row and birdman uses nigga to rhyme 10 times in a row... they're both so talented. who couldn't do that?
