This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Yeah
I see you, big bro
I'ma kill these niggas, man
Yeah (haha)
Straight off the block wit' it
Eagle Street to be specific
I'm peepin' at your people different
I pay my dues, you keep the difference
I can see the end in the beginning
So I'm not racing, I'm just sprintin'
'Cause I don't wanna finish
They diminish, I replenish
Scientific, I'm out this world, ho
I wear bright red, like a girl toe
No homo, fingernails dirty
I've been counting dirty money since 12:30
A.M., weigh them
If they short, take them right back and spray him, amen
Yeah, I just do my Wayne
And every time I do it, I do my thing, yeah
Believe that like a true story
Rims big, make the car look like it's two stories
If I hop out, that'd be suicide
No back seats, call that paralyze
I don't have a spine, I don't fantasize
I mastermind then go after mine
You see, I handle mine, I dismantle mine
I tote a tool box, bitch, it's Hammer-time
So excuse me as I nail 'em 'til some fell and
Just repel 'em, I'ma kill 'em
Someone tell 'em I'ma kill 'em
I'm gon' fill 'em up, his momma can't tell 'em
And the doctors can't heal 'em, I'ma kill 'em
And, yeah, we sell 'em, I know you smell 'em
And if you want it, you could just yell it
And it be in the morning at your telly
Whole ki' go for twenty, half a ki' go for eleven
After me, there will be nothing
I am legend and I will Smith
Now that's how you let the beat build, bitch
That's how you let the beat build, bitch
Now that's how you let the beat build, bitch
Let the beat build, bitch
And the beat go boom
B-boom-ba-boom
Boom, b-boom-ba-boom
It go, boom b-boom-ba-boom
Now say (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Come on
Just a snare and a 808
Weezy baby on the mic, D.O.A.
OK, I'd like to thank Kanye
And my nigga Deezle from giving me this diesel
Like an F-350, tank never empty
Damn, everybody in the bank act friendly
Used to think my shit didn't stink, boy, was I wrong
Approving million dollar deals from my iPhone
I'ma take it one-two way back
Like a silk wife beater and a wave cap
Or the wave pool at Blue Bayou
And I waved, fool, as I blew by you
Hello, hi, you, I can buy you
But I wouldn't try you, feed you to Piru
I know what I'm doin', I show and prove and show improvement
And I know just to go into it
Could never amount to going through it
Whatever or how you wanna do it
We can do it like we late, ay, wait
Deezle, let me just get the 808
As I hit the kill switch
Now that's how you let the beat build, bitch
That's how you let the beat build, bitch
That's how you let the beat build, bitch
Let the beat build, bitch
And the beat go boom
B-boom-ba-boom
It go boom, b-boom-ba-boom
The beat go boom
B-boom-ba-boom
Now everybody say (yeah, yeah, yeah)
And I am the best rapper alive
I am the best rapper alive
And I will eat you alive
Think I'm lying?
I'ma get in a nigga chest like a bunch of phlegm
Like a fuckin' ram, I'ma hunt for the lamb
I'ma dump 'em, man, in a dumpster can
You ain't a soldier, ask Uncle Sam
Hair nappy like Pam, nigga, fuck your plan
Fuck your man
You ain't a pimp unless you get the same bitch
To fuck your man and fuck your clan
And all my bitches know that's my plan
Oh, goddamn, there's my sample playin' like that's my band
Gotta get it cleared
Suck my dick with red lipstick and don't let it smear
And I got a lot of tattoos and I meant every tear
And I'm still on that street shit
Back to the beat, bitch
That's how you let the beat build, bitch
Now that's how you let the beat build, bitch
Let the beat build, they say (yeah, yeah, yeah)
And the beat go boom

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,
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Probably the best tune on Tha Carter III. I'd say it's a thousand times more infectious than "Lollipop" (I goddamn hate that song along with half of the rest of the album-- but the other half of the album I love).
