Uh, yeah
This is for my motherfucking club heads
You feel me?
Ow

People, gangstas, and pimps and people
Smokin that deeper reefer
Up in the club with speakers
Hi hats, and bass and tweeters
DJs is droppin' needles
Sweat 'til I catch a fever
Call me the illest diva
Yo, I'm on fire
People go 'head and drink up
Get in the club, get fucked up
See me, you got get lucked up
Someone to touch and rub up
Show me some love, strip off your clothes, and take off your socks

The party's jumpin', I see something fine
Boy, I wanna kiss you, but I'm just too shy
Let me dance with you, let me wear you out
Here's a glass of orange juice, let's go X it out
The music's bangin', way down in my soul
When you dance behind me, I lose all control
Make me grind my hips, make me move my waist
When the music come on, you take my breath away

This is for my people, my party people
This is for my people, my motherfucking people
Come on (come on), get down (get, get on down)
Come on (come on), get down (get, get on down, down)
This is for my people, my party people (what? Uh)
This is for my people, my ecstasy people (huh?)
Come on (come on), get down (get, get on down)
Come on (come on), get down (get, get on down, uh)

I'm at the bar now, and I'm buying drinks
And I got this feeling, and it's all over me
I wanna dance with you and lick your face
Meet me on the dance floor to feel some ecstasy
The vibe is right now, and I'm 'bout to score
Mr. DJ can you play this joint once more
'Cause I see the man I want, I want him right away
Look him right in his face and say dance with me

This is for my people, my party people
This is for my people, my motherfucking people
Come on (come on), get down (get, get on down)
Come on (come on), get down (get, get on down, get on down)
This is for my people, my party people (say what? Uh)
This is for my people, my ecstasy people (huh?)
Come on (come on), get down (get down)
Come on (come on), get down (get, get on down)

Freak that, come here, baby, grab me from the back
Baby, you the mack, and you know that
Put the needle on the track, skip that
Flip that, bring the beat back
Oh, freak that, come here, baby, grab me from the back
Baby, you the mack, and you know that
Put the needle on the track
Skip that, flip that, bring the beat back
Uno (uno), dos (dos), tres (tres)
Uno (uno), dos (dos), tres (tres)
Uno (uno), dos (dos), tres (tres)
Uno (uno), dos (dos), tres (tres)

Can't stand when a nigga fuckin'up my plans (uh)
All night, duckin' him while I'm tryin' to dance
Drunk, and his breath stink, freaky with his hands
Cocky with his mouth, please, like he got a fan
Can't stand when a bitch all on my side
I don't even know her and she all up in my light
Givin' me the side eye like she want to fight
Philly known for boxing bitch better get it right
Can't stand when a DJ fuckin' up the song
Know I'm tryin' to shake my ass all night long
Cuttin' up the same shit all night long
High 'fore I got there, now my shit is blown
Can't stand when it ain't jumpin' like I want
Bouncer tried to stop my fun, take away my blunt
I don't give a fuck, he ain't gon' take away my fun
See him when this shit is over, make the nigga run, uh

This is for my people, my party people
This is for my people, my motherfucking people
Come on (come on), get down (get, get on down)
Come on (come on), get down (get, get on down, down)
This is for my people, my party people (say what? Uh)
This is for my people, my ecstasy people (huh?)
Come on (come on), get down (get on down)
Come on (come on), get down (get, get on down, uh)

    I think this song is self explanitory. It's all about being Fu*ked up and clubbing and having a good time. It's one of those songs that you love to listen to when you are stoned. It's a wonderful piece of work by Missy, Eve, and Hook. "Can't stand when it aint jumpin like I want Cats that try to stop my fun, take away my blunt" Live it up, roll a blunt.

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.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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”

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."

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
