"Ladies and gentlemen, here's the man! I mean the man!
The sensational, the incomprible, the dynamic

"You know, a judo, a chop chop chop"
"Swing swing swing, and chop chop chop"
"Swing swing swing, and chop chop chop"
"Swing swing swing, and chop chop chop"
"Swing swing swing, and chop chop chop"

Quick on the cut, to the cut I gotta go (go)
Lumberjack chopping up the beat just swinging low
Freaking all the funk cause my man's a funk freaker
Listen to the cuts jumping straight out your speaker
Skills on the hills so I guess he steals a crew
If you're on his dick, don't fret, I'm on his dick, too
Got a bag of tricks, but he ain't pulling rabbits
Rabbits is endowed with the sexual habits
Took a long time in his room spinning records
Shit's going on, pumps fatter than a heifer
Chop chop he go, chopping it up like Sam the Butcher
Next thing you know the record chop like a hooker
Hits on the table, yeah Rich with the quick hand
Now understand this, he ain't the ordinary rap man
Bring all the wizard in Brooklyn's chop shop
Listen to the Lumberjack record go chop

"You know, a judo, a chop chop chop"
"Swing swing swing, and chop chop chop"
"Swing swing swing, and chop chop chop"
"Swing swing swing, and chop chop chop"
"Swing swing swing, and chop chop chop"

Tell me, toss another record on the platter
Have to see him swing it, swing it like a hook and ladder
Mister ??? if you went up with only liquor
Better keep your papes in your pocket or we vic ya
Busting off shots in the backyard of Brooklyn
Chopped by the hoes, only hoes that's good looking
He move crowds overseas, even immigrants
Seen him in his 300 Benz with the tints
Think you want to step to the Lumberjack?
That's what you think, but you must be blunting cracks
Could you place your ass in a DJ recepticle
But a Lumberjack will just chop off your testicles
You want to get with the master chopper?
Better get a kung-fu to the little grasshopper
Heard your cuts and your cuts is kinda sloppy
Better get your ticket, watch the Rich get choppy

"You know, a judo, a chop chop chop"
"Swing swing swing, and chop chop chop"
"Swing swing swing, and chop chop chop"
"Swing swing swing, and chop chop chop"
"Swing swing swing, and chop chop chop"

Lumber, lumbar, Jack and I be nimble
Hurt you like a whiffle ball and bring it to a sequel
Shadows, shadows, know where Daddy Rich lurks
Verse got a gold tut like Mrs. Butterworth's
You said he couldn't, but he said "I got wood"
I think I can, I think I can, no I could
Yell timber, cause your wood is slimmer
Yet another victim serviced by the Goldfinger
Cuts stimulate, chop on the flavor hit the Ave.
On the wax and vibrate like a ninja
Mr. Daddy Rich to you, used to call him
Run and you're stumbling over stumps, so watch him fall
Yes y'all, he got the skills to spin it
So yo ho ho and a bottle full of Cisco
Can't find the grooves in a spasm while I'm rhyming
Up the track Lumberjack and on the darn timing

"You know, a judo, a chop chop chop"
"Swing swing swing, and chop chop chop"
"Swing swing swing, and chop chop chop"
"Swing swing swing, and chop chop chop"
"Swing swing swing, and chop chop chop"

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.

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.

Dreamwalker
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.

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."

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.
