(You can find your way) Now they got to blow homeboy's smoke
(If you're tryna bang, bang, bang)

Up jump the boogie to the bang bang boogie (real G thing)
While you're bangin' on ya baby OG's (bang)
That's why I flip the script to the boogie bang bang (real G thing)
And if I'm bangin', it's with D-P-G
They say, up jump the boogie to the bang bang boogie (bang, bang)
While you're bangin' on ya baby OG's (bang, bang, bang, bang)
That's why I flip the script to the boogie bang bang
And if I'm bangin', it's with D-P-G

Some do the things that they do 'cause they dumb
And some do the things that they do for crumbs
I do mine for me, ya see?
Not the big homie, Double-O-G
Scared to do your own work, man, that's foul (that's foul)
And that's the reason why I had to shoot ya down
Because you never should've tried to work my dawg
And the lil' homie wouldn't of had no reason to fall
Y'all know the game ain't the same no mo'
Lil' G's keep heat so big, G's freeze, jeez
Johnny Rockafeller went to jail a
Few times too many and became a teller (snitch, snitch)
They sell a nigga dreams if he want 'em
But they won't sell you the game to get up on 'em
Ya tryna find 'em 'cause you want 'em, they shook out
Get the book out and when the pitch come, nigga, look out
It ain't hard to pump up the lil' homies, nigga
But it's hard for your bitch-ass to get wit us
But instead you put it in their head
That at thirteen they better off dead (now they gone)

Up jump the boogie to the bang bang boogie
While you're bangin' on ya baby OG's (bang)
That's why I flip the script to the boogie bang bang
And if I'm bangin', it's with D-P-G
They say, up jump the boogie to the bang bang boogie (bang, bang)
While you're bangin' on ya baby OG's (bang, bang, bang, bang)
That's why I flip the script to the boogie bang bang
And if I'm bangin', it's with D-P-G

Ayo Snoop (ayo big homie), why would niggas get into the bracket
And makin' loot, niggas wan' trip? (Trip)
Spittin' like, "You s'pposed to be from the hood"
"Show me love, nigga, or don't show me shit"
Feel the fever, million-dollar man like Colt Seavers (uh-huh)
Made a non-believin' man into a believer
Receive a check the next day, my homies say
"This the way to get paid," DP's invade
I don't know why you wanna get on my back? (Why?)
Trippin' 'cause you know the bomb's at where I'm at (a'ight)
Well if that's the case you shoulda rolled (rolled)
Wit the PG instead of losing control (motherfucker)
This is how we do (do), Dogg Pound Gangstas in blue (who?)
Me, D-A-Z, N-A-T-E and Snoop
Niggas from sets be tryna set you (ay lil' nigga, ay, no, oh)
'Cause you set in your ways, so ask DJ Pooh what pays (what pays?)

Up jump the boogie to the bang bang boogie
While you're bangin' on ya baby OG's (bang)
That's why I flip the script to the boogie bang bang (real G thing)
And if I'm bangin', it's with D-P-G
They say, up jump the boogie to the bang bang boogie (bang, bang)
While you're bangin' on ya baby OG's (bang, bang, bang, bang)
That's why I flip the script to the boogie bang bang
And if I'm bangin', it's with D-P-G

Just what we need, bangin' on wax, another Crip (wassup, cuh?)
What you gon' do nigga, jack the mothership?
You're like a actor wit another script
Predictable as Rambo wit another clip (busta)
How many niggas you gon' kill in your verse?
You need to sit down and learn to get down first (straight)
'Cause, uh, real ho bangers are toast-slangers
Not part-time FBI singers
Niggas havin' bad intentions, sendin' BGs on a mission
One move too many, nigga you missin'
Listen, you fuck wit the "Cyco-Lic-No"
Loony-ass nigga from your H-double-O-D
Niggas got too flossy from all the sacks they toss me
And guess what it cost me, they crossed me
But before I give a nigga a nine
I'd rather give a nigga a mic and write him a rhyme (let's get it)

Up jump the boogie to the bang bang boogie
While you're bangin' on ya baby OG's (bang)
That's why I flip the script to the boogie bang bang
And if I'm bangin', it's with D-P-G
They say, up jump the boogie to the bang bang boogie (bang, bang)
While you're bangin' on ya baby OG's (bang, bang, bang, bang)
That's why I flip the script to the boogie bang bang
And if I'm bangin', it's with D-P-G

Up jump the boogie to the bang bang boogie (bang, bang)
While you're bangin' on ya baby OG's (bang, bang, bang, bang)
That's why I flip the script to the boogie bang bang
And if I'm bangin', it's with D-P-G

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.

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.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

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.
