Yeah, we're gonna keep droppin' it, see, no stop,
I told you, we're ain't gonna stop
If you're ready, I wonder why?
We're gonna do it a little something like this
Sit down, open your mind, here we go

Uh, check it
It's time to bless you all with eternal hip-hop,
Dedicate my life to the low remainders staying at the top
My rap-patters might be simple and form,
But I'm just gettin' started, my styles look warm
I guess I should drop what I burned you here for, so bunkle up, I guess you ran for the door
A girl next door has been touch for years,
And understand why she can't explain to her parents
Strange things from beginning was going on in her home
Mammie, years just don't know what she's gone
A father figure missed, she was the power day by day
Stocking this girl like carnival to clay,
She lied between the double and the deep blue scene
And he sensuane advine, even eternally,
Teardrops of freedom are running down from my eye,
Life is so unfair, I wonder why?

[Chorus]
I wonder why I don't let the man cry,
And I can't change the way that I feel inside
And I wonder why I don't runnin' or hide
From the fears and the tears that I have inside, have inside

Yeah, c'mon, uh
Swing you back, to the problem and hand and understand
She need to learn and learn to take command
Trapped inside a 4 to5 prison called her home
All alone she cries tryin' to break the syndrome
Now bare witness to this horrible scene
Was the mean she was a fiend of yours, a friend of need
Where were you? When she need you the most
I think friends like you got to remains close,
I think she called you at eleven thirty,the night Johnny be, ya hands were getting dirty
I wish she would just reach out and tell her mother
A rebuild the face of this profane lover,
Turn between silence and would see him fear
Here's a serious question while I pump it to your ear
Why people must suffer, struggle and cry,
Before someone pays attention, I wonder why?

[Chorus]

Yeah, can you hear me? Turn me up!

[Chorus: x2]

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.

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.
