Know what I'm talkin' bout
Yeah, Mississippi mothafucka (Newton County)
What I live and die for (Scott County)
Ball for the kids (Simpson County)
Know what I'm talkin 'bout
Niggas out here flashin' and ballin' and shit (Lincoln County)
Know what I'm talkin' 'bout
I'm supposed to be so fuckin' hard
Fuckin' rebel flags still flyin' (what's this shit) (Delta)
Fucker (coast), some hoes

We from a place (where them boys still pimpin' them hoes)
We from a place (Cadillacs still ridin' on vogues)
We from a place (and my soul still don't feel free)
Where a flag means more than me (Mississippi!)
We from a place (where them boys still pimpin' them hoes)
We from a place (Cadillacs still ridin' on vogues)
We from a place (and my soul still don't feel free)
Where a flag means more than me

Still ridin' Cadillacs
Still bump in the back
Mothafuckas talk shit, but we still in the hood
Mississippi in this thang, pinky rang in my hand, peanut butter top (lovin' wood)
Crackas only come to buy crack
And cracka cops only come to bust niggas who sell that
We from a place where they scream: "Pimp a ho! Pimp a ho!"
We from a place where they still (drop them bows, drop them bows!)
We from a place where yo grandmama still showin' you love
And we still eatin' chicken in the club, bitch!

We from a place (where them boys still pimpin' them hoes)
We from a place (Cadillacs still ridin' on vogues)
We from a place (and my soul still don't feel free)
Where a flag means more than me (Mississippi!)
We from a place (where them boys still pimpin' them hoes)
We from a place (Cadillacs still ridin' on vogues)
We from a place (and my soul still don't feel free)
Where a flag means more than me

(We from a place) Where Medger Evers live and Medger Evers died
(We from a place) What we chokin' on sticky green to get high
(We from a place) Where ya used to come in the summertime
Now y'all don't mention us in ya rhyme, we kin folk
Yeah we broke, some talk with a drawl, but bitch we ball
Runnin through with two Tecs screamin', "Fuck all y'all!"
We from a place where the rebel flag still ain't burnin'
New schools, but the black kids still ain't learnin' about shit!
But hit the streets and learn to pimp on a bitch
(Five oh!) Aw, shit, throw yo crack in the ditch!
And y'all nigga run, y'all nigga run like Forrest Gump
They got pumps and them crooked cops love to dump
In Mississippi

We from a place (where them boys still pimpin' them hoes)
We from a place (Cadillacs still ridin' on vogues)
We from a place (and my soul still don't feel free)
Where a flag means more than me (Mississippi!)
We from a place (where them boys still pimpin' them hoes)
We from a place (Cadillacs still ridin' on vogues)
We from a place (and my soul still don't feel free)
Where a flag means more than me

Crooked letter, crooked letter
Oh, Mississippi! Mississippi, oh!

601, represent where you from
You don't want none
Mississippi

The place we're from!
Mississippi! 601
Say 601! 601!
Mississippi

Hell yeah, Mississippi, you know what I'm talkin' 'bout
The home of the blues, the dirtiest part of the south
You know what I'm talkin' 'bout
The place where you get them fish and them grits muhfucka
Yeah, you know what I'm talkin' 'bout
The Delta, motherfucka
Cotton, you know what I'm talkin bout
We 'bout to free the slaves, bitch!
Where yo' grandmama from, nigga
You ol' one generation moved away slave-ass
Booty-fuck ass, gank-ass, punk-ass, bitch!
Haha
Now come on back home, get you somethin' to eat
Punk ass nigga, it's all good

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.

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.

Plastic Bag
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.
