[ Rob Quest ]
You know, if you could only hear what I see
Then you might understand where I'm comin from
Know what I'm sayin?
[ CHORUS (2X) ]
I can't see it y'all, it's like that y'all
I can't see it y'all, I got the light y'all
I can't see it y'all, it's like that y'all
But that's alright y'all, I got the mic y'all
One time for your mind, yo, check it
It's the chubby curly-haired kid from HTX
Nasty like unsafe sex, you best step when I flex
Knockin peons out the box and smokin niggas like swishers
y'all talk loud but say nothing, that's why I still can't heed it
Talkin bout, "I know that ain't that blind kid rappin"
Comin up to me talkin bout, "Hey yo, yo, yo 'cause, what happened?"
But that's for me to know and you to find out
Let me break it down right here, so you know what I'm talkin about
I remember when I told you I was handicapped
( ? ) handy rap along with this handy smack
I get a check every month and it makes me independent
So muthafuck you and that hand that you're lendin
Cause I don't need your funky-ass sympathy
Just the pussy and any money that you're givin me
I am who I am, so you can take it or leave it
You play me for anything less, bitch, I can't see it
[ CHORUS ]
Piggedy-part two of the episode
The Squad's gonna drop a load
Of hits for yo shit on the FM mode
With the beats for the jeep, 5th Ward to South Acres
My shit's hard like a brick, yo, go ask my neighbor
And she'll say, "Yup them some bad muthafuckas"
But on the cool, hey yo D, I think that old hoe want to fuck us
But anyway, let me get back on track
Hey yo Mike Dean, stop that beat right there, let me see where I'm at
Oh yeah - they say seein is believin but believin is deceivin
Mama dukes said set my eyes on the prize and achieve it
Back in the days in the hallways
Skipped a lotta classes and I didn't get paid
Cause even ( ? ) my rhymes wasn't clean
Back before my very first drum machine
I used to ( *beatbox* ) while the MC rapped
Now I boom-boom-bap boom-boom-boom-bap
Now a lotta things changed since '86
Now it's my first album, very first mix
And I'd like to thank God for this shit right here
Many shouts to Lil' Jay for lendin us a ear
And to this very day yo, I still can't believe it
Even though I can't see it
[ CHORUS ]
Anyway
I want to send this here to all of my peoples, my niggas, you know that
Big or tall, short or small, whatever your problem may be
Whether you can't hear OR see
You can take care of your business
I don't want to sound like a preacher or nothin like that, but you know
Look at me
He
I'm here
You know, if you could only hear what I see
Then you might understand where I'm comin from
Know what I'm sayin?
[ CHORUS (2X) ]
I can't see it y'all, it's like that y'all
I can't see it y'all, I got the light y'all

One time for your mind, yo, check it

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.

The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
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.
