[Pressure]
The door breaks, my world wakes, light ascends my windowpane
An hour goes, I'm showered though I'm struck by hunger pain
I break my fast fault, makes the glass translucent through the rain
From my dining room, Tom and Sue got me late again
I snatch my papes, lash for tapes, the sand hills, the plains
Cars biting lines, arrive in time to hear my name
Roll call feeling like my old school again
There's tags on the desk, the day drags on the brain
Time's up! I head for home, the sunrays and then rain
As twilight hits my eyesight I jump the train
The town is full of sound, that's why I came
I step to the jam, a figured silhouette, it blocks the doorframe
I am out smart, tell it to some bouncing acting lames
Said, "I came to entertain ya", he's asking for my name
Man act like you know, it's all the same
With that I tell these rapping dudes, I step through to hear beats playing
I'm in this, passed up in the grass with some drunk and he's saying
He likes the way I flow and what's the way to go in this game
I told him "There's many paths, just use your heart and your brains
Another day's another hangover mate ain't nothing changed"
Then Next is on the decks, time to catch reck, the crowd's swaying
Masses part, a flashing spark sends light from a chain
Flickering a sticker in, a guy's kicking them game

[Suffa]
In my B-Boy stance, cause my B-Boy's saying, "What's up Dan?"

[Pressure]
Hand shakes from my mates from Hilltop
Ain't seen em in a while but I knew they still rock
The freestyler's in a cipher rhyming to a Beatbox
Because we came here just to blow up the spot
Now feeling parched, looking for a laugh, I stray from the flock
I hear a loud and familiar sound of twisting the top
I see my man at the bar drinking scotch on the rocks
Take a look at my watch, *Man it's almost 12 o'clock*
It's time to rock, the venue's getting full, it's getting hot
It's time to blow up the spot, regardless of props or not
Make my way to the stage, Debris stops me on the spot

[DJ Debris]
Dickhead's is starting beef, Dan they fully lost the plot
Then off ???, but some fella got clocked
I knew his face but not his name, he was pissing blood and snot
Matt's out back, practising raps getting hot
But fuck it, let's do this show

[Pressure]
Sit Baz, they bother me not

[Suffa]
They bother me not, they bother me not, what?
They bother me not, they bother me not, what?
They bother me not, they bother me not, what?
They bother me not, they bother me not, I said...

[Pressure]
Because I touch everything in my life
Like the sunrays touch everything in my life, until the night
The sense of the mind's of men lose sight
In the twilight of life, looking for the limelight
I touch everything in my life
Like the sunrays touch everything in my life, until the night
The sense of the mind's of men lose sight
In the twilight, looking for the limelight

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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Punchline
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.
