I'm bout to take this back
Way back
Keep on rolling on
You on a roll, on a roll
Keep on rolling on
Why why why why
Keep on rolling on
Roll on
Keep on

Hey Marvin
How is it looking man?
Can you ask that question again?
What's going on, what's going on
And Jackie, hey
Will you teach me how to glide across the stage?
You look like a pimp, my man (like a pimp, like a pimp, my man)
On my mama's video tape
Oh, in my band I got Jemi and Kurt Cobain
And Roger is banging the drums
I got all of the Temps singing backgrounds, baby
And Jay's on the ones, yes he is
In my garage, just doing it for the soul
On a well put together beat melody the story is told

You just keep on rolling on
You might be gone, yeah, but not forgotten, no
Keep on singing on
Cause I can hear it
All in my soul
Keep on rapping on
I know you're gone yeah, but not forgotten no
Keep on living on
Cause every night all alone in my studio
Every time that I write a new song
Roll on

Miss Billie
I ain't never heard a voice like yours
Sounds so beautiful to me
Kinda like the birds in the trees
Aaliyah I wish we coulda did a song
But baby girl, when I get my wings
I want to sing your precious love (your precious love)
In a lil juke joint down in New Orleans
Can you hear Miles blowing his horn?
I want to hear it
Pac's got the mike he about to join in (all eyes on me)
As soon as he finish his blunt
And Easy and Left Eye
And Frank and Sammy at the bar
Believe me (believe me)
We miss ya (we miss ya)
We never let you go too far

You just keep on rolling on
You might be gone, yeah, but not forgotten, no
Keep on singing on
Cause I can hear it
All in my soul
Keep on rapping on
I know you're gone yeah, but not forgotten no
Keep on living on
Cause every night all alone in my studio
Every time that I write a new song
Roll on

It's kinda like a letter
If you will
A lil something just to get it off my mind
I've been gone for a minute
But I'm back on the block
Just in the nick of time (just in the nick of time)
A couple of bars just to warm up your insides
Ghetto! Holla if you can hear me, now
Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna keep alright

You just keep on rolling on
You might be gone, yeah, but not forgotten, no
Keep on singing on
Cause I can hear it
All in my soul (all in my soul)
Keep on rapping on
I know you're gone yeah, but not forgotten no
Keep on living on
Cause every night all alone in my studio
Every time that I write a new song

You might be gone, yeah, but not forgotten, no
Keep on singing on
Cause I can hear it
All in my soul (all in my soul, all in my soul)
Keep on rapping on
I know you're gone yeah, but not forgotten no
Keep on living on
Cause every night all alone in my studio
Every time that I write a new song
Roll on

Yeah, listen here
This is for granddaddy
And Aunt Bernice
And Uncle Teddy Baby
Daddy Ed and Mrs Randle
And Riverboat
And all my folks
I'll see you when I get there
Keep on rolling on
I'll see you when I get there
Rolling on
See you when I get there

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."
