Uh, I keep it playa while some choose to play it safe
Boy check the resume, it's risky business in the A
And I've been a witness to this history
Ever since the the tenth grade
We went from rockin' braids to temp fades
I twist my A hat to the side just for style
Or throw on the Gucci bucket with the flowers superfly
Wow, the southern pride been known to shut it down
But it ain't so country my nigga this ain't no Gomer Pyle
I'm Sergeant Slaughter
I keep my shit cooked to order in order
To satisfy my people in Georgia and across the water
And across the boarder the essays are getting smarter
They got flour for tortillas and lettuce for enchiladas
If you follow wink wink no doubt we don't speak
In a blink them folks could have you sleeping in the clink
I'm shittin' on niggas and pee'ing on the seat
It's the nigga the B-i-g B-o-i out

Now party people in the club it's time to cut a rug
And throw the deuce up in the sky just for the shutterbugs
I'm double fistin' and if you're empty you can grab a cup
Boy stop, I'm just playing
Let me dap you up
Baby, baby you're in my system
Baby, baby tell me your listening

Boy, it's after twelve, club's like a hive bee
A bee hive cause not everybody buzzin' around me
Could it be the way the verse is sounding?
Came up on the Gheto Boys and the Underground Kingz
Toys, I had a brougham, called it pretty brown thing
Paint look like root beer when the sun was shining
Known to keep a bad bitch. No niggas beside me
Index finger on the trigger in case niggas is clowning
Not to flex but to protect my neck like the Wu-Tang
Self-preservation is the rule when you do aim
Or get in something more sinister
You gotta be the finisher
To make it sure the doctors, they can't replenish him
Or bring him back to life
Back to reality
Gone get on some hoes leave it alone
Triple O-G status A town's very own

Now party people in the club it's time to cut a rug
And throw the deuce up in the sky just for the shutterbugs
I'm double fistin' and if you're empty you can grab a cup
Boy stop, I'm just playing
Let me dap you up
Baby, baby you're in my system
Baby, baby tell me your listening

Now this goes out to all my playas in the back sippin' yack
Bendin' 'round corners in the 'lac
Cut a rug, playa, now cut a rug
And throw yo' deuce up in the sky for the shutterbug

And this goes out to all my ladies in the front
What you want? You make me wanna breed
Girl freeze
Cut a rug, lady, now cut a rug
And throw yo' deuce up in the sky for the shutterbug

Now party people in the club it's time to cut a rug
And throw the deuce up in the sky just for the shutterbugs
I'm double fistin' and if you're empty you can grab a cup
Boy stop, I'm just playing
Let me dap you up
Baby, baby you're in my system
Baby, baby tell me your listening

Tell me you're listening
Cause you all up in my system I can feel you from my head to my toes
(You're in my system)
Lucious Leftfoot's got his best foot forward darling Lord have mercy
How them flows stay so cold, froze
Cut a rug
Cut a rug
Shutterbug
Cut a rug
(Tell me you're listening)

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.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" 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 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."
