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”
I find myself wandering up the road with a gun in my hand
Trying to stay cool and be the bigga man
Cause I don't think niggas nowadays understand that if you temp me, I put under the sand
Right away hey, right away ho oh
Right away hey, I put you under the sand
Right away hey, right away ho oh
Right away hey, I put you under the sand
Moi j'rappe avec le coeur, écoute ce couplet
Si t'es criblé de douilles c'est que tu chantes comme un poulet
Tu rap avec le boul
T'approches pas d'mon panier, plus d'3 secondes dans la raquette
Et 92 bastos BOOM se dirigent vers ta casquette
La rue te fascine, la rue te prend, la rue te calcine
Ma racine c'est l'argent facile
Mon rap c'est une monté d'adrénaline, une mauvaise blague sur ta mère
Pas besoin de la brigade canine pour sentir qu'tu pues la merde
MC t'as trop trainer ton cul sur les banc de la fac
J'vais faire un manteau d'fourrure avec les poils de ta chatte
D'un patron j'aime pas recevoir d'ordre
Achètes mon album à tes gosses ou j'leur vendrai d'la drogue
Elle est bonne, elle sait chante OK j'mise dessus
Si j'perds un tête à tête j'te tire dessus
Minimum 20 cm Marianne en serait ravie
Tu veux surfer sur les ondes, mon tsunami t'fra changer d'avis
I find myself wandering up the road with a gun in my hand
Trying to stay cool and be the bigga man
Cause I don't think niggas nowadays understand that if you temp me, I put under the sand
Right away hey, right away ho oh
Right away hey, I put you under the sand
Right away hey, right away ho oh
Right away hey, I put you under the sand
Ca vient du Sénégal tu l'as bien compris
Légal ou illégal, on fait du rap des sapes et de la zon-pri
Suce ton succès tiens a peu d'choses
C'est l'nouveau B2o c'est trop frais
Les fans frisent l'overdose
Dans le bain depuis Colors, Boyz in the hood
Mon son te colle aux fesses biatch
J'Te recherche comme Sarah Conors
Mon équipe te fais péter les plombs comme Disiz
92 izi c'est pour mes négros, mes bitches
Le Biz donne envie de vomir voilà ce que j'éprouve
Des mitos suceurs de bites voilà ce que j'y trouve
Raide dingue de mon flow ils sont trop dèg'
J'en-j'en-j'en-j'entends jurer des mecs que sur la Mecque on est dead
Parce que les négros veulent ma peau j'avance écorché vif
Parait qu' j'prends d'la Cc, parait qu'j'suis en prison, parait qu'j'suis juif
Tu peux m'croiser chez Maxime, tu peux m'croiser au grec
Mon cerveau j'le vaccine un joint d'seum collé au bec
I find myself wandering up the road with a gun in my hand
Trying to stay cool and be the bigga man
Cause I don't think niggas nowadays understand that if you temp me, I put under the sand
Right away hey, right away ho oh
Right away hey, I put you under the sand
Right away hey, right away ho oh
Right away hey, I put you under the sand
A whole 'nother level, a whole 'nother style
A whole bunch of niggas just down 'n' get wild
Just a whole of rebels, a whole 40 cal
The one who has taped it put a hole in ya now
Cause if you got it best believe I'm gonna get it
I'm not the type to commit it then go admit it
Fine yourself a new shelf somewhere ?
And tighten it up with my belt cause thugs throw your fittings
I tried to warn these niggas but these fellows too slow
Its seems that mothaf*ckas ain't never gon' go, dont bother nobody let's just step on my toes
We'll let it go in case your cat say no, now
J'passe sous les échelles un flingue caché dans l'Bescherelle
Moi j'en ai rien à foutre j'suis ce genre de négro
Que de la bonne came, on sait flairer l'oseille
Ouais nous on roule en grosse gam
Et toi tu prends le métro
Fine yourself under the sand
Oh oh oh
Fine yourself under the sand
Akon and Booba, yeahh
I'm not that man you would find yourself under the sand
Oh oh oh
Under the sand
Trying to stay cool and be the bigga man
Cause I don't think niggas nowadays understand that if you temp me, I put under the sand
Right away hey, right away ho oh
Right away hey, I put you under the sand
Right away hey, right away ho oh
Right away hey, I put you under the sand

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
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."

I Can't Go To Sleep

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.
