I was so glad, when they said unto me
Let us go into the house, of the gangsters

If you don't call this gangster
I don't know what a gangster is
If you don't call this gangster
You don't know what gangster is
Said it's one thing to be real
But real ain't all a gangster is
If you don't call this gangster
You don't know what gangster is i know

I was so glad

I only smoke with the folks that
Came in when I came in
I don't smoke with bitches cause I
Don't know where they mouth been
Dawg I'm a celebrity, I got fans
I don't need friends i don't need security
Cause they ain't checked me when I came in
All that you impressed with
Is what I already did
The life you choose to emulate
That's the life I live
Dream house, dream car, quarter past that
That money that you makin
Was my champagne tab
Dawg, that's yo' girl? Be cool, relax
I just need her tonight, call the phone
You can get her back
You gon' ball then ball
You gon' mack then mack
Your mouth sayin one thang
But your action don't say that
You told me all aboutcha
And I ain't even asked
Look at ya, nervous, jittery
Can't stare me in the eyes can ya?
Real recognize real
You can't deceive a gangster
Short Dawg, Petey Pab'
What was y'all thankin?

I know you wanna live the good life
New car, new house, what it look like?
You'll never see it
Tryin to be somethin that you're not
You runnin to the car cause
You don't wanna get shot
But at the bar you was hard
Ain't even no straps in your car
You better call the law
They got guns, you got a cell phone
Do some gangster shit, and get the hell on
You talked all that shit
But a bunch of ass-whuppins
That's all y'all get actin tough in the club
You found out you was fuckin with some
Thugs put them hands on ya
So fast you ain't know what happened
Outside seen 'em ridin in a fo' do' cabin
Tryin to kill you, this shit is real fool
You won't survive in the streets if
You don't know the rules

Uhh Black Continental, suicide golds
Gators hit the flo', I ain't payin at the do'
While you fly outside
Waitin for the guest list
And to get frisked
It's niggas like me creepin with heat
That'll burn ya crisp i'm at some work
You would open your mouth to kiss
Why you at the bar, roused off Cris'
No longer courageless
Grabbin hoes by the wrist
Chose one, mix wasn't hit
So you wet her clothes
And said BITCH - put it on thick
Like Lonzo in "Training Day"
Not knowin she with a clique
That's aimin at your face
Soon as they get word
Hope your friends don't desert
And valet got your Benz parked
Next to the curb you ain't a gangster, L7
Quick to bail out
Like a nigga in jail stressin
A lesson to be learnt
Bout what a gangster is
Not only do we roll deep, so do a gangsteress

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Punchline
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.
