This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Let these motherfuckers know (Brooklyn)
We ain't playin(It's my time to shine)
We gonna let B.I.G. live vicariously through us, you feel me?
You don't even know how to spell that shit(get my shit off on Niggas)
But Cease tell 'em why it's a long time coming, playa
Uh I'm a do the dues I'm a do my thing
Do the dues I'm a do my thing
Do the dues I'm a do my thing
Uh yo yo yo
It's me y'all Cease a Leo, big spender
Ice rockin' criss (where you at nigga?)
I'm at the bar with ten strippers
No niggas, rock platinum, just avoid gold diggers
I'm here now, guess what, I want it all now
Fuck blasers and roofs, we kick the door down
Beat you in the jaw now, move swift like a coke on a gray hound
Nigga what, it's been a long time comin' but it was bound to come
Cause I been doing this shit since day one
Yeah, niggas talk it but then niggas walk it
I'm a be in the Benz flossin', Look at chicken's crossing
Like Vaseline, old school gather deans, uh no exposure in no magazines
Think you can test my team?
Team up boy you still can't match my queen
With a lack of self esteem, foolish pleasure, laid out on a stretcher
Tryin' to test the, mic molester, word to my uncle Fester
I put it on y'all B.I.G. warned y'all about the thugs that wrote calls
It's been a long time coming but it was bound to come
We been puttin' in bids far too long
It's been a long time coming but it was bound to come
We been puttin' in bids far too long
It's been a long time coming but it was bound to come
We been puttin' in bids far too long
It's been a long time coming but it was bound to come
We been puttin' in bids far too long
You love them hoes, banga?
Please, bitch call me Mr.Freeze 'cause the shit on my neck and my sleeve
Be keepin' sero degrees, when I fuck just a nut in the breeze
Learned from LiL Cease, keep them hoes on they knees
Start to love em then you trickin' your cheese
Her and her friend whippin' the V and that ain't me
I switch my bitch up bitch up like Jordan in the playoffs
Switchin' his kicks off, you got it mixed up like the hash seeds and
Sticky greens that I twist up, for me it just be luck
I'm holdin' mine jump in the truck, what, just hang a bitch, bang a bitch
Leave em in dead, coffin style, bitches love a thug when they smile, uh
It's me yo, the poet, street gigolo, mafia dough got plans for this shit to
Blow
Now I want the strip locked with the crack code open, blow, you front?
Be the first to go, you know?
It's been a long time coming but it was bound to come
We been puttin' in bids far too long
It's been a long time coming but it was bound to come
We been puttin' in bids far too long
It's been a long time coming but it was bound to come
We been puttin' in bids far too long
It's been a long time comin' but it was bound to come
We been on this shit since day one
Niggas talk it while I live it, nigga it's so vivid
See when B.I.G. did it, I keep it Jig wit it
These niggas ain't got enough dough to get wit it
The heart, you can't get it Mr L you won't get it
Got enough tissue y'all? Cease done shitted
Album done fully submitted and all that dip down long sleeve, fitted hat
Been doing this since way back, 94, fully newer score
Till 96 when track masters signed the law (what) then I gassed em all
Launched July 4th now it's top floor, just before the war (which war)
That's bi-coastal, fuck the cast that's vocal, spit the class focal
Watch me blow you, smoke you, fuck you, I dug a bitch but not you (why)
Bigger calmness, Niggas don't really wanna start shit, it's coming
It's been a long time coming but it was bound to come
We been puttin' in bids far too long
It's been a long time coming but it was bound to come
We been doin' this shit since day one
It's been a long time coming but it was bound to come
We been puttin' in bids far too long
It's been a long time comin' but it was bound to come
We been doin' this shit since day one
It's been a long time comin' bound to come
Doin' this shit since day one
It's been a long time comin' but it was bound to come
We been puttin' in bids far too long
We ain't playin(It's my time to shine)

Hayalperest
Hayalperest
Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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,
When We Were Young
Blink-182

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
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.
