"When I program the sound, I"

Oh, oh (what it is)
Oh (what it was)
Yeah (what it will be)
Oh, oh (Kweli, Hi-Tek), oh

We gon' set it off (hey), we gon' set it off (hey)
Something on my chest and I gotta get it off
So we gon' let it off (hey), catch it like a cough
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ayy, 'cause the flow so ill
But I feel so good, I feel so good (oh, I feel good)
I feel so good, I feel so good
Man, I feel so good, feel so good (like when you finish working out)
Feel so good, feel so good, yeah (or when your girl come before you do)

Every time I hit the block, the shepherd come and get the flock
I roll a Jay, I get a Dame, and do it BIG like it's the Roc
It's not, it's the Blacksmith, we finna pick the lock
Fire like the trunk is popped, go to work, punch the clock
The flow so sick, it's ill, so they lose they lunch a lot
Sick so they front a lot, sick 'cause they want the spot
Get 'em higher, light the fire, look, time's running out
Space is panickin', he in the closet, he ain't coming out
That's 'cause I'm invading like Iraq did to it's neighbors
Nothing black and white, they acting like Barack is gonna save us
But first they gotta save themselves
Don't play the game, they play themselves
You a non-believer, I'm a Libra, so I weigh the scales

We gon' set it off (hey), we gon' set it off (hey)
Something on my chest and I gotta get it off
So we gon' let it off (hey), catch it like a cough
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ayy, 'cause the flow so ill

But forget it, I'm a boss, I said it all before
The flow is so butter, you can spread it on your toast
When I send this out to Los', he gon' say this shit is banging (why it's banging?)
The devil play me close and I'ma hang him like a painting
You can check out my exhibit, won't you pay a fee to see it?
This is the masterpiece, every album a museum
When I bring my people freedom, they gon' smile like Mona Lisa
I'm married to the game, throwing the rice like Condoleezza

We gon' set it off, we gon' set it off
Something on my chest and I gotta get it off
So we gon' let it off, catch it like a cough
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ayy, 'cause the flow so ill
But I feel so good, I feel so good
I feel so good, I feel so good
Man, I feel so good, feel so good
Feel so good, feel so good

Ayo, every time I'm out on these streets, y'all niggas know the deal
I'm rolling with my nigga Kweli, I let him hold the wheel
So I can get a couple of shots, let it off
Head it off in the general direction, then set it off
But of course, Brooklyn and Cincinnati is in the house
And it's Hi-Tek, hardest for niggas to figure out
Pick a route, people stab you in the back for the stardom
But they fall right back to the bottom like cats in Roddam
But I'm flying through the night like a pilot with insomnia
Burn up on your deck like a pirate from Somalia
Hi-technology, better school your producer
And can't be duplicated by computer

We gon' set it off, we gon' set it off
Something on my chest and I gotta get it off
So we gon' let it off, catch it like a cough
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ayy, 'cause the flow so ill
But I feel so good, I feel so good
I feel so good, I feel so good
Man, I feel so good, feel so good
Feel so good, feel so good, yeah

Oh, oh, oh, yeah
Oh, oh, oh, we gon' set it off

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
