Tha name is Krayzie
Big Bad Ass Bone
Wanted up north for all the gold that I stole
Along with some cash
Even took the mayor's daughter
Now that theres kidnappin
But she was wid it so I brought her
Done got myself into a whole heap of trouble
Double crossed by the law so theres nobody to run to
Yeah, its just me and my sawed off shotgun
Outlaw, call him Leather Face
Im headed for the west
Heard they gotta couple banks in town that ain't been held up yet
Well uh, I oughta make it by sundown
I figure that's enough time to get tha whole run down
So I continue my mission
Its gettin dark so now Im watchin for them damn Injuns
They like to catch ya
Then they rob and split
I be a rootin tootin shootin damn fool
Protectin my chips
All of a sudden
I heard somebody rumble in the bushes
Stop my horse
Whoa Nellie!
Who in the bushes?
Ya betta speak out
Or Ima let my shotgun song sing out

Who is this?
Hope this ain't tha law
Drawed out tha bushes with my sawed off shotgun

Come on out
Right now, Im gettin angry
Took a step back cuz it could get dangerous

Please don't shoot its just me, Thug Queen, a horse stealer

Then why the hell is you hidin in them bushes?

Im wanted in four counties
For armed robbery
Killed 2 sheriffs, 6 of his best men with my hands
Stole 2 horses
Thought you was the law
Thats why I jumped in tha bushes

Goodness
Now she was hotter than a barrel of fire
But I could use her for the job
So I told her to ride
C'mon

May I ask whatcha headin to the west for?

I got a partna
Got a plan for some do
And if ya down
You can pick up yourself a pretty penny
Be in town in a minute
So be sure if you're wid it

We out before the sunrise
Gotta style here
For your partna to ride
Hit tha saloon for the moonshine
Down for whateva
Lets ride (lets ride)

These directions say we to Tucson, Arizona
When we arrive
Ill cop a place we can bunk
Meet my boy in tha mornin
For details and hook up

You better count your money.
You better count money
(ghetto cowboy)

You better count your money.
You better count money

Rise and shine
Good mornin, Howdy
9 o clock we meet my boy in tha saloon in tha valley
Now I done came a long way
And I don't wanna be late

Im peepin Krayzies wanted poster in tha saloon
So I assume
Itll be trouble round here pretty soon
Glance across the room
I see this youngsta gettin ready to fire
But if he messin tonight
I think that Krayzie just might take his life
So I approach him and I pause
Look man
I really don't wanna brawl
So wont ya chill before them laws
Come messin up this masta plan
Since he already rowdy
I just asked the man (HEY)
You want some work?
Well partna put in your bid
And by the way now whats your name?
They call me Layzie the Kid

Tha names Powder P
Can I get a 12 guage?
Outlawd everyday
On the front page
Now Mr. Kid
If you give me the lowdown
Me and Blackjack
Be ready for the showdown
With 2 double barrels pointed at whateva
We stick togetha
Im perty cleva

So saddle up
Jump on the band wagon
Cuz its all goin down
I heard a guy run in the bar screamin "Krayzie's in town"

Now when we get to the saloon
You don't worry
Wait outside
And don't be stealin nobody's damn horses
Step inside tha bar
Layzie Kid you son of a gun

Now lets go have some fun
And heres my partna Powder
Hes a young gun

Howdy

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.

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,

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.
