(Tell me, what you really did for any other motherfucker than yourself)

These big homie rules
I give my lil' homie jewels
Some shit they can use
You give your lil' homie tools
And tell 'em go do some shit that you wouldn't do
You breaking big homie rules
Big homie rules, this a big homie move
'Cause this what big homies do
Never fold, lead by example
Never let nothing come between the family
That's a big homie move, a big homie move
These are big homie rules, big homie rules

Rule number one, believe in your dreams (okay)
Always understand there's more than you, it's a team (what else?)
Rule number two, niggas bitches off limits
We don't do that in the family, no distractions while we winning
And rule three is kinda sensitive to me (what's that?)
This table full of plates, we make sure everybody eats
And communicate your issues, we can agree to disagree (I feel you)
But talking family business outside the family, that ain't G (you a real one)
Ain't no rats in here, so ain't no leaks (ain't no bitches)
I'm my brothers keeper, fuck these freaks (fuck these bitches)
And rule number four, if you ever get fronted
Despite what you hearing, always pay their money
And rule five, this the only rule I don't really like
Put a snake with a snake, get a bite for a bite
And rule six, you must protect the brand with your life
I'd rather help you get a million, than help you get a strike
And do you understand your publishing? (Not really)
Whether you rapping or you hustling, treat that like real estate and pay the government (okay)
Family first, money second
You ain't taking care of your family, I just can't respect it

These big homie rules
I give my lil' homie jewels
Some shit they can use
You give your lil' homie tools
And tell 'em go do some shit that you wouldn't do
You breaking big homie rules
Big homie rules, this a big homie move
'Cause this what big homies do
Never fold, lead by example
Never let nothing come between the family
That's a big homie move, a big homie move
These are big homie rules, big homie rules

Ain't no jealousy in the crew, 'cause if I got it, then you got it
Lil' homie got a problem, big homie solve it
Niggas talkin' boss talk, ain't never been a soldier
I just wanna cook up one more time to get some closure
When it come to this beef shit, it is what it is
Homie don't fuck with you, shit, it is what it is
They call it investment, I just believe in my dog
Bust it down how you wanna, I just wanna see you ball
You ain't a boss, you a mistake, nigga
How they put you in position when you fake, nigga?
You lie to your team, you sell your niggas dreams
When there's war somehow you always in between
The family and the opposition
Me, I like this nigga but know my position
So, it's fuck 'em and it's fuck 'em forever
I take loyalty to a whole 'nother level
I get the information, pass it down
My homies know, that's on my life, I always held 'em down
Last rule, if you gon' be a big homie
Treat your niggas with respect, not like a lil' homie

These big homie rules
I give my lil' homie jewels
Some shit they can use
You give your lil' homie tools
And tell 'em go do some shit that you wouldn't do
You breaking big homie rules
Big homie rules, this a big homie move
'Cause this what big homies do
Never fold, lead by example
Never let nothing come between the family
That's a big homie move, a big homie move
These are big homie rules, big homie rules

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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.

Mountain Song
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."

No Surprises
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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
