This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Welcome to Rap City, it's your boy Big Tigger and I'm
Happy to introduce my guest, Mr. Busta Rhymes
It's Busta Bus, you know the god you trust, that masterful thinker?
Good to see you again, since you and Ride were at the Grammys killin'
What's happenin'? Everything good, how the hell have you been?
It's been a strong five years since we last checked in
Ayo, been strategically movin' the chess pieces on the chess board
Yeah, you see me, the way that I been creepin' on 'em, yes Lord (nice)
You see it
Let's take a ride on the personal side
Where the good, bad, and ugly seem to always collide
And you always seem to survive any cards you've been dealt
So tell me where you're currently at with your physical health (okay)
And while I always kill, it's always someone that's tryna curse me
I gotta give thanks, I'm blessed, and, yes, I'm completely healthy
And I love when niggas talk and despise me, so I let 'em
See, the answer to show niggas better than you can tell 'em
You've had to deal with a lot of real-life drama
What do you say to those people that's just callin' it karma?
I ain't gotta say shit to 'em, it's the balance of life
You gotta through love and hell if you want it to turn out right
And despite the turbulence, if it's my karma to keep winnin'
I hope the karma continues 'til angel voices is singin' to me
See, I embrace with open arms what karma's bringin' to me
Hope y'all embrace these bombs in this movie
Thirty years plus since Bus grabbed the microphone
And now I understand you're back with Sylvia Rhone?
You're motherfuckin' right
See, me and the boss lady move tight
In my career, she's been the brightest light
Back in the day, it was tapes, wax, and CDs
Now it's TikTok, MP3s, and digital streams
A lot's changed since you first came in the frame
Wanna know your opinion on the state of the game
The state of the game is cool and I respect the evolution
But when it comes to business, it gotta be a better solution
Seems like the more things change, the more they stay the same
Explain what's goin' on with this big-ass chain
Ayo, see I don't buy jewels to stunt no more, call me mineral investor
I buy shit I can pass down like all of my ancestors
Big diamonds, big gold for the whole world to see
With an architectural design by TraxNYC, believe it
I'd ask to rock it, but I might fall
And by the way, how much of a ball was Live at Carnegie Hall?
Man, the shit was necessary and needed and so essential
The shit was legendary, historical, monumental
Black excellence suited, lookin' so godly, exceptional
Me, Mr. Lewis, and Scratchator lookin' professional
Price different than what it was before, please move the decimal
See Robert F. Smith and Earn Your Leisure was incredible
This year at the Grammy was one for the ages
Tell me why you always amaze us every time you on stages
Now, I appreciate the acknowledgement, let 'em read the articles
The thing me and my crew posses is called the god particle
Our passion on that stage that make other niggas look horrible
The conquerors on stage is like you doin' the impossible
My nigga Spliff is Neo in the Matrix, I'm the Oracle
And when we step up on that stage, it becomes a problem that's unsolvable
It's a testament to the way you do things
And I gotta ask, how dope was is to be on tour with Wu-Tang?
Correction, I was on tour with Wu-Tang and Nas
The audience had a lot of gangsters and beautiful broads
Every night was a family reunion and gathering of gods
Fucked it up every show, every evening, I needed a massage, shit
Back to the stage with a microphone, peep how the gods spit
I'm celebrating, bring me a queen with some large tits
You, Scratchator, and Spliff put it down every night, and
If Spliff can't go, Big Tigger be the hypeman
No? Then tell me who's playin'
This new album produced by Swizz Beats, Pharrell, and Timbaland
Correction again, this album is executive produced by the Dragon, Pharrell and Timbaland and Swizz
Listen to this
I wrapped this present up proper, now I'm liftin' a gift
The greatest minds came together so the culture will shift
We gave you something more potent for you niggas to sniff
'Til we delivered, you probably thought this shit was a myth
And disappears in smoke like it was steamin' or piff
Dreamin' that we was close friends like it was me and Spliff
Man, I can't wait 'til that new shit drop
'Specially the same year we celebratin' fifty years of hip-hop
Plus you're an all-time great, we can agree
But tell me what you want your legacy to be
Well, everything about my whole genetic make-up been stamped
My legacy the greatest, intercontinental champ
I ain't talkin' 'bout you, Tigg, but if somebody wanna doubt it
Go tell 'em do they research, I don't need to talk about it
Okay, let's talk about the scene
When you got teary-eyed on BET gettin' your Lifetime Achievement
I'm sayin' true indeed, when I got the call, I couldn't believe it
All the sacrifices I had to go through just to receive it
Missin' precious moments with my kids like the planets collidin'
The lesser of the two evils so I could keep providin'
Such a celebratory moment, everything was pleasant
My kids was with me in the room, so my legacy was present
Nice, it's almost time for us to break here
Before we go, is there anything else you wanna make clear?
Yeah, I wanna make it clear I hope y'all people honor it
Kiss this ring while you respect my conglomerate
God bless, I wish you the best, keep doin' it bigger
And thanks for sittin' down to kick it with your boy Big Tigger
Bus, you had an amazing career (facts)
But if this track snaps, then we gotta run it back next year
And I'm sorry interview time is up and it gotta end
Next time we pull up on each other, we can do this shit again
And if you don't know, now you know
And if you don't know, now you know, nigga
A-ra-ta, a-ra-ta-ta-ta, a-ra-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes

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.
No Surprises
Radiohead
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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
