Back to the hood of things (back to the hood of things)
Back to the hood of things (back to the hood of things)
Back to the hood of things (back to the hood of things)
Back to the hood of things (back to the hood of things)

Finally the TDRE is represntin' the PA
So back up and all you loud mouths shut the hell up
It's time to talk about the rumours we been hearing
Stab me in my back and when I see you, chump you cheering
You really jealous 'cause we're doing things, goin' places
I should smack the phony smile off your face
Before I made it, it was Jack Rules Town
Yeah, so give me 30 cash for a fifty dollar food stamp
That's the way it was and still is
But people say we sold out since we hit the business uh
So I decided to produce a gangsta swing
To take it back to the hood of things

You used to be down, you used to be poor
But now you're all that, because you do tours
People call me Campbell because they think I'm suit
Up on myself because I made a little loot
You got famous model Benz, a Rolley through the hood
Yeah and the old dirty burger joint still smellin' good
Uh, to show you ain't a damn thing change
So come correct fool when you flex my name
And if you don't punk, I gotta let you know
Good Times is our favourite show
Yeah, so here's a little funky gangsta swing
To take you back to the hood of things

Back to the hood of things
Back to the hood of things
Back to the hood of things
Back to the hood of things
Back to the hood of things
Back to the hood of things
Back to the hood of things

Ayo R can we smack 'em with a third verse?
Hell yeah

Well it's the third time the wreck shop'll get busy
I'm with friends so way more open up so I can make my entry
I'mma talk about the shit that been killin' me
'Cause you been bumpin' your guns like wigglys G
Sayin' he sounds like
This, he sounds like that
He sounds like this, he sounds like that
Oh what the fuck sounds like a nut in the middle of your gut
Because you're full of jealousy because my fans love me
Allah gave me talent, uh so all praises to the Lord, see
That's why I had to smack you with a gangsta swing

To take you back to the hood of things
Back to the hood of things
Back to the hood of things
Back to the hood of things
Back to the hood of things
Back to the hood of things
Back to the hood of things

Well it's the 4th runner up, last but not least
It's the C-K-L-L to the Y, G
You see my brother sold crack for a Benz
That's when I had to step right up and put my two sense in
How come you don't shoot craps like you used to?
None of your business, get out of my face fool
Ugh, 'cause you're makin' me nervous
And I'm about to knock you in your teeth
Some say stone styles try to baffle
I'm the real record and you just a weak sample
Yeah, that's why he came up with a gangsta swing uh

To take you fools back to the hood of things
Back to the hood of things
Back to the hood of things
Back to the hood of things

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."

Gentle Hour
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,

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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.
