Verse 1:
Travis been known to spit lyrical backflips on tracks with skate kicks
Osiris had the flyest but I’m all about Axion, Verbal bigspin
I Crooked grind your melon for not listenin’,
I’m beyond regular, you stuck in fakie position
The funny thing is I don’t skate but I’ll deflate your whole ego
Manipulate your face and replace it with something uglier than
The product of Sha-nae-nae and Patrick Ewing havin’ a baby
(Damn Travis you crazy) Nah just a little misunderstood
I got the planet in confusion, for the simple fact my vocabulary lacks the word losin’
Contusions are placed across the bodies of any challengers
I’ll leave my mark then disappear like J.D. Salinger,
As whack emcee’s continue scuffin’ their knees,
Suckin’ the dicks of A&R's just to get their platinum chains and cars,
I’ma keep on doin’ my thing,
Broke as Macy Gray would be with a regular voice trying to sing,
Who wanna bring it to these Crab Apple affiliates,
Act silly and you’ll get split down the middle like a Philly gets,
I’ve had enough of all these silent menaces,
I’m for peace but you’ll get quickly deceased with violent sentences,
The only witnesses will be later notified to come identify the dental records of a kid offended mine,
you ain’t a friend of mine so I suggest you call me Mr. McCoy
Hot shit will burn and blister you boy

Chorus:
We manifest through tape decks and prisma colored markers,
Invade your space like feathers from down parka’s,
We legends in our own times and every rhyme is living proof,
We drinkin’ forty’s from the fountain of youth,
And when we done we’re pissin’ innocence,
Cause in a sense, everything your mouth dispense don’t necessarily pay the rent
Or the phone bills, you can’t trade food for mic skills,
But if you could I’d be eating lovely, believe me.
Verse 2:
Travis McCoy be like the influenza, flow sick,
These other rappers on some old common cold (SHHH),
I’m sicker than that, and plus you always suck (YECK) quicker than that,
And H20 aqua we be thicker than that, and if at
Anytime shit gets to hard to handle I’m going out raw,
Chainsaw and all like Bruce Cambell,
Steppin’ out the darkness with an army of creeps,
Caffeine ain’t allowin’ Travis to get no sleep,
Cause cat’s speak soft, and quick to front hard like Charles Bronson,
Shoutin’ out Brooklyn, knowin’ that they from Wisconsin,
That’s why I’m always concentratin’ when I’m puffin’ cheeba,
We down with New York State and the city of Geneva,
G-Town’s my residence that’s where I stack my dead presidents,
And in my mind it ain’t no time for irrelevance, come on now
I thought you knew better, my rhymes are nines and my mouth’s a lyrical berretta
But better…YET…I make you Sweat like Keith,
And have your whole crew fallin’ out like rotten teeth.

Chorus:

Verse 3:
Who start it like us, rip a part it like us,
who you know jump on the stage and get retarded like us?
Who start it like us, rip a part it like us,
who you know jump on the stage and get retarded like us?
Who start it like us, rip a part it like us,
who you know jump on the stage and get retarded like us?
Who start it like us, rip a part it like us,
who you know jump on the stage and get retarded like us?
GCH will make it happen regardless of the element,
From breakdancing, beats, graffiti shit, to straight rappin’,
Who got your mama’s hands clappin’?
Zappin’ cats like the third rail, these rappers soundin’ sweet over stale ass beats,
Come on get serious, you’re making me furious with these lame cliché’s and whack hooks
Oh you ain’t feelin’ me? I’ll beat you to death with black books,
Now that I got your undivided, you got a mic? You better hide it,
I’m creepin’ six deep with seven swords of drunk pirates
With eye patches, no teeth and burnt eye lashes,
so they don’t sleep and stay dodgin’ car crashes,
I’ll smash your pride like a star that just got his fame stolen,
Bash you with a mic so hard I’ll leave your name swollen,
Cut to the chase I’ll just get to the point first, cause frankly
You’re shit is worse than Fred Durst’s best verse,
AND(AND)IT’S(IT’S)LIKE(LIKE)THAT(THAT)

Chorus

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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"

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”

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
