This is your big homie Bryan B Shynin from hot 103
jams host of underground heat
this next one is called paper,
from that Tech N9ne Callabos, the gates mixed plate

Jay Rock

Boy im bout my presidents
benjamins and jacksons
my names Jay Rock, a.k.a. get paper if you askin
catch me out in traffic
traffic insult n' tragic
that magic tryin get that Frank and Lucas and Brittney raa's cabbage
find me on the freeway, doin deals on the 3 way
if you dont got my paper that chopper split you in 3 ways
my money runnin, it should be a surelay's
no candles on my cake but everyday be my b-day
comin out that gutta, bitch im bout my dollas
me and Tech up at the bank takin them paper showers
who gives a fuck what you thank, boat niggas envy hard
gats in my drawers, guns in the car
knock a nigga off it's all about survival dawg

Im bout my paper, you bout some paper lets do some bussiness
if you cross me hundred round magazine you gone get yo issue

Chorus

Paper, paper (8x)

Paper, paper (8x)
Get it like a thief in tonight (you know me)
Paper. paper (8x)

Paper, paper (8x)
My mind on money, money on my mind

Tech N9ne

I've sacraficed everyting to get this fuckin money
it'll be a rap just like a mummy if you try to get it from me
think its funny try to get me when Im stunny
your ??? gets runny when I bust open your tummy, yummy
federal reserve not, better know the darn ropes
better go with her folks, find out that she rollin with your dope
rats never deserve hope, put a knife where word throats
verbs ?? fangs drain, and not a single word flows
dollars made boss, holla raised cost
cause all was in squalor because of all your days off
so I gotta get paid off, I'm a baller ??? lost
cautious and your wall look like Ragu and hollandaise sauce
I'm making the ??? no fakin a neighbor for sacred
but if you faces a hater I'll erase your space on place
you better take the bass out your trachea
Imma waste your ??? and your ???
not a fuckin place will be safer
Imma say that a scrape be my nature to chase the

Chorus

Paper, paper (8x)
do what we do to survive (gotta get it)
Paper, paper (8x)
Get it like a thief in tonight (you know me)
Paper. paper (8x)
im comin for yours, now its mine (all about it)
Paper, paper (8x)
My mind on money, money on my mind

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

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.

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
