but this Gotti, going through change

got me sittin, thinking to myself

I'm in this game and I'm twisted

I'm having psycho thoughts

peelin my motherfucking neck apart

but that'd be some hoe shit

cause I'm a killa

and if I kill my ownself

but these niggas wanta undertake you

try to serve your cream

and when you ain't lookin

try to hit you with that laser beam

some nigga you was tru to

punk motherfucker try to get me, he'll get you

suckas don't live on these streets

I'm from the ghetto

grew up on eggs and luncheon meat

and not niggas tellin me fuck the hogs

when your best friend play you like a fucking dog

but I don't trust nobody but my tru niggas

I mean my brothas, I mean my real niggas

Silkk, see-Murder, and Master P

If it ain't blood nigga, it might be your enemy

cause we try to teach niggas to be real

but that's the same niggas that'll get you with that steal

I mean I taught ya'll niggas that never in the game

I swore to be a man, killa

but ya'll niggas just don't understand

that the ghetto is so wicked

these hoes wanta kick it

but these bitches addicted to money and paper

lay you on the stretcher, like a bitch

but bitch I never voted

I'm out here on the streets motherfucker, tryin to represent

what the fuck do they know

want us to jump when they say jump

just cause they done said so

fuck that, I keep my hand on my chrome gat

and if its on, let it be on

if it's on, let it be on black

cause see my whole world is evolved around rounding up

a fucking tight hoe

I'm like a time bomb

I be cool one second, but you'll never know when I might explode

shit, how you gonna look through my ???? with no gun

only thing I have in this world are my balls and word

and I'ma brake those for no one

niggas want me to fail, some niggas want me to fall

it's like me against the world

my back up against the wall

when money come, that's precisely, it's all coming

see they don't respect the company cuase it's black

if it was owned by peeps that was white, everybody be runnin

see in order to survive, I stick to ghetto tactics

I keep my ?, get tighter than rush hour traffic

see ? want to know what make Silkk's

mind tick, my mind click, at the sight of blood (why's that)

cause ain't no love up in this bitch

see niggas be trippin, I cooks my rocks

but ya'll be on the outside lookin in

that's why we killas



some say we dealers, they call us killas

who we be

TRU niggaz

some say we dealers, they call us killas

I'm under surveilance, they tapped my phone

but they ain't feelin me

cause if them fedz only knew

they'd probably to jail

and lock me up with no bail

is sick and ready to hop into some gangsta shit

who we be, we be some tru niggas

with TRU across our stomach and countin legal drug money

nationwide, but runnin this underground

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

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.

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”

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
