Baby Phat just relax, front ya own flat screen
Back rubs cook, clean and don't make her make a scene
When you call her on her cellular
She tell she don't need
Not a goddamn thing, you a hot damn thing
If you think you finna get her wit' a goddamn chain
You insane, boy, you betta get some goddamn change
She a fool, been to school, even walked across the stage
And she say, "I love Webbie from his looks to his ways"
The stilletos, the J's, depend on how the weather look
Flip flops, slippers, just to show off the pedicure
Flip flop niggas depend on how the cheddar look
She'll buy her own, I don't think she 'll never look
In a man face standin' waitin' for him to take care of her
She'll rather go to work and pay the bills on schedule

She don't never trip, all she want is that dick
She bossy, flossy, keep them hoes off me
Gutta, lil' slang, mane, I love when she talkin'
A independent chick, do you know what that mean?
She cook, she clean, never smell like onion rings
22s on her whip, oh, she do it large (do it large)
And she break a nigga off, got a nigga spoil (got a nigga spoil)
She a bad lil' chick, a fly lil' chick
Hit me on my phone, she like to buy that dick
Got her stunna shades, lookin' like something (lookin' like something)
Stallion, hair long, she a nice something (a nice something)
She like to go to the mall every day for a outfit
Hair did, nails did, independent what she call that

If you ain't on sit down (Boosie Badazz)
If you ain't on sit down

She got her own house, drive her own whip
Range Rover all white like her toe tips
She got a pretty smile, smell real good
Only time she need man for that good jugg
They buy the bar too, they superstars too
They be like, "You ain't got no money? Take your broke tail home"
In Baby Phat they on, they clothes match they phone
They be like, "Yeah" (that's my shit) when they song come on
Leave the club kinda early cause they gotta go to work (bye girl)
I mess wit' supervisors who got credit like Big Turk
So dusty feet, please don't bother me
I got independent dimes on my mind who spoil me
Gucci hat, Gucci fit so sick
That's a gift from my independent chick, yessir
Try to get next to her, gotta be yourself, man
'Cause she got her own money, she don't need no help man, Boosie

I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T, do you know what that mean, mane?
I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T, do you know what that mean?

She got her own house (yeah)
She got her own car (yeah)
Two jobs work hard, you a bad broad
If you ain't on sit down
If you ain't on sit down
If you ain't on sit down
If you ain't on sit down

Techno Ted
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

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."

Magical
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.
