I think I'll start with 2 songs that I love.
First, we have Rock Bottom by Eminem (this edges out 8 Mile and Stan, in my mind).
A-yo!
This song is dedicated to all the happy people
All the happy people who have real nice lives
And who have no idea whats it like to be broke as fuck
[Verse One:]
I feel like I'm walking a tight rope, without a circus net
I'm popping perkasets, I'm a nervous wreck
I deserve respect; but I work a sweat for this worthless check
Bout to burst this tech, at somebody to reverse this debt
Minimum wage got my adrenaline caged
Full of venom and rage
Especially when I'm engaged
And my daughter's down to her last diaper
That's got my ass hyper
I pray that god answers, maybe I'll ask nicer
Watching ballers while they flossing in their pathfinders
These overnight stars becoming autograph signers
We'll all gone blow up and leave the past behind us
Along with the small fry's and average half pinters
While playa haters turn bitch like they have vaginas
Cause we see them dollar signs and let the cash blind us
Money will brainwash you and leave your ass mindless
Snakes slither in the grass spineless
[Chorus: repeat 2X]
That's Rock Bottom
When this life makes you mad enough to kill
That's Rock Bottom
When you want something bad enough you'll steal
That's Rock Bottom
When you feel you have had it up to here
Cause you mad enough to scream but you sad enough to tear
[Verse Two:]
My life is full of empty promises
And broken dreams
I'm hoping things will look up
But there ain't no job openings
I feel discouraged hungry and malnourished
Living in this house with no furnace, unfurnished
And I'm sick of working dead end jobs with lame pay
And I'm tired of being hired and fired the same day
But fuck it, if you know the rules to the game play
Cause when we die we know were all going the same way
It's cool to be player, but it sucks to be the fan
When all you need is bucks to be the man
Plus a luxury sedan
Too comfortable and roomy in a six
They threw me in the mix
With all these gloomy lunatics
Walk around depressed
And smoke a pound of ses a day
And yesterday went by so quick it seems like it was just today
My daughter wants to throw the ball but I'm too stressed to play
Live half my life and throw the rest away
[Chorus]
There's people that love me and people that hate me
But it's the evil that made me this backstabbing, deceitful, and shady
I want the money, the women, the fortune, and the fame
That Means I'll end up burning in hell scorching in flames
That means I'm stealing your checkbook and forging your name
Lifetime bliss for eternal torture and pain
Right now I feel like just hit the rock bottom
I got problems now everybody on my blocks got 'em
I'm screaming like those two cops when 2pac shot 'em
Holding two glocks, I hope your doors got new locks on 'em
My daughter's feet ain't got no shoes or sock's on 'em
And them rings you wearing look like they got a few rocks on 'em
And while you flaunting them I could be taking them to shops to pawn them
I got a couple of rings and a brand new watch you want 'em?
Cause I never went gold of one song
I'm running up on someone's lawns with guns drawn
[Chorus]
Second, we have Lose Yourself by Eminem as well.
Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted-One moment
Would you capture it or just let it slip?
His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti
He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready
To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgettin
What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud
He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out
He's chokin, how everybody's jokin now
The clock's run out, time's up over, bloah!
Snap back to reality, Oh there goes gravity
Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked
He's so mad, but he won't give up that
Easy, no
He won't have it , he knows his whole back's to these ropes
It don't matter, he's dope
He knows that, but he's broke
He's so stagnant that he knows
When he goes back to his mobile home, that's when it's
Back to the lab again yo
This whole rap shit
He better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him
[Hook:]
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo
The soul's escaping, through this hole that it's gaping
This world is mine for the taking
Make me king, as we move toward a, new world order
A normal life is borin, but superstardom's close to post mortem
It only grows harder, only grows hotter
He blows us all over these hoes is all on him
Coast to coast shows, he's know as the globetrotter
Lonely roads, God only knows
He's grown farther from home, he's no father
He goes home and barely knows his own daughter
But hold your nose cuz here goes the cold water
His hoes don't want him no mo, he's cold product
They moved on to the next schmoe who flows
He nose dove and sold nada
So the soap opera is told and unfolds
I suppose it's old partna', but the beat goes on
Da da dum da dum da da
[Hook]
No more games, I'ma change what you call rage
Tear this mothafuckin roof off like 2 dogs caged
I was playin in the beginnin, the mood all changed
I been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
But I kept rhymin and stepwritin the next cypher
Best believe somebody's payin the pied piper
All the pain inside amplified by the fact
That I can't get by with my 9 to 5
And I can't provide the right type of life for my family
Cuz man, these goddam food stamps don't buy diapers
And it's no movie, there's no Mekhi Phifer, this is my life
And these times are so hard and it's getting even harder
Tryin to feed and water my seed, plus
Teeter totter caught up between being a father and a prima donna
Baby mama drama's screamin on and
Too much for me to wanna
Stay in one spot, another day of monotony
Has gotten me to the point, I'm like a snail
I've got to formulate a plot fore I end up in jail or shot
Success is my only mothafuckin option, failure's not
Mom, I love you, but this trailer's got to go
I cannot grow old in Salem's lot
So here I go is my shot.
Feet fail me not cuz maybe the only opportunity that I got
[Hook]
You can do anything you set your mind to, man
Next, we have Changes by Tupac. Once again, GREAT song.
Come on come on
I see no changes wake up in the morning and I ask myself
is life worth living should I blast myself?
I'm tired of bein' poor & even worse I'm black
my stomach hurts so I'm lookin' for a purse to snatch
Cops give a damn about a negro
pull the trigger kill a nigga he's a hero
Give the crack to the kids who the hell cares
one less hungry mouth on the welfare
First ship 'em dope & let 'em deal the brothers
give 'em guns step back watch 'em kill each other
It's time to fight back that's what Huey said
2 shots in the dark now Huey's dead
I got love for my brother but we can never go nowhere
unless we share with each other
We gotta start makin' changes
learn to see me as a brother instead of 2 distant strangers
and that's how it's supposed to be
How can the Devil take a brother if he's close to me?
I'd love to go back to when we played as kids
but things changed, and that's the way it is
[Bridge w/ changing ad libs]
Come on come on
That's just the way it is
Things'll never be the same
That's just the way it is
aww yeah
[Repeat]
[2]
I see no changes all I see is racist faces
misplaced hate makes disgrace to races
We under I wonder what it takes to make this
one better place, let's erase the wasted
Take the evil out the people they'll be acting right
'cause both black and white is smokin' crack tonight
and only time we chill is when we kill each other
it takes skill to be real, time to heal each other
And although it seems heaven sent
We ain't ready, to see a black President, uhh
It ain't a secret don't conceal the fact
the penitentiary's packed, and it's filled with blacks
But some things will never change
try to show another way but you stayin' in the dope game
Now tell me what's a mother to do
bein' real don't appeal to the brother in you
You gotta operate the easy way
"I made a G today" But you made it in a sleazy way
sellin' crack to the kid. " I gotta get paid,"
Well hey, well that's the way it is
[Bridge]
[Talking:]
We gotta make a change...
It's time for us as a people to start makin' some changes.
Let's change the way we eat, let's change the way we live
and let's change the way we treat each other.
You see the old way wasn't working so it's on us to do
what we gotta do, to survive.
[3]
And still I see no changes can't a brother get a little peace
It's war on the streets & the war in the Middle East
Instead of war on poverty they got a war on drugs
so the police can bother me
And I ain't never did a crime I ain't have to do
But now I'm back with the blacks givin' it back to you
Don't let 'em jack you up, back you up,
crack you up and pimp slap you up
You gotta learn to hold ya own
they get jealous when they see ya with ya mobile phone
But tell the cops they can't touch this
I don't trust this when they try to rush I bust this
That's the sound of my tool you say it ain't cool
my mama didn't raise no fool
And as long as I stay black I gotta stay strapped
& I never get to lay back
'Cause I always got to worry 'bout the pay backs
some buck that I roughed up way back
comin' back after all these years
rat-tat-tat-tat-tat that's the way it is uhh
[Bridge 'til fade]

Tool is awesome.
But Brand New's Jesse Lacey is a lyrical genius IMO.
Example:
Me Vs. Maradona Vs. Elvis
Songs about sex, and how Jesse doesn't want to be like Elvis and Maradona, have it all and loose it.
QUOTE
With one or two I get used to the room
We go slow when we first make our moves
By five or six bring you out to the car
Number nine with my head on the bar
And it's sad, but true
Out of cash and I.O.U's
I've got desperate desires and unadmirable plans
My tongue will taste of gin and malicious intent
Bring you back to the bar
Get you out of the cold
A sober, straight face gets you out of your clothes
And they're scared that we know
All the crimes they'll commit
Who they'll kiss before they get home
I will lie awake
Lie for fun and fake the way I hold you
Let you fall for every empty word I say
Barely conscious in the door where you stand
Your eyes are fighting sleep while your mouth makes its demands
You laugh at every word trying hard to be cute
I almost feel sorry for what I'm going to do
And your hair smells of smoke
Who will cast the first stone?
You can sin or spend the night all alone
Brass buttons on your coat hold the cold
In the shape of a heart that they cut out of stone
You're using all your looks that you've thrown from the start
If you let me have my way I swear I'll tear you apart
Cause it's all you can be
You're a drunk and you're scared
It's ladies night, all the girls drink for free
I will lie awake
And lie for fun and fake the way I hold you
Let you fall for every empty word I say
I will lie awake
And lie for fun and fake the way I hold you
Let you fall for every empty word I say
I will lie awake
And lie for fun and fake the way I hold you
Let you fall for every empty word I say

Another example:
I Will Play My Game Beneath The Spin Light
Amazing song, the words make me shiver.
QUOTE
The time has come for colds and overcoats.
We're quiet on the ride,
we're all just waiting to get home.
Another week away, my greatest fear.
I need the smell of summer,
I need its noises in my ears.
If looks could really kill,
then my profession would be staring.
Please know we do this cause we care
and not for the thrill.
Collect calls to home
to tell them that I realize
that everyone who lives will someday die
and die alone.
And we won't let you in.
Though we're down and out.
No we won't let you in.
You win, you win, you win.
I wrote more postcards than hooks.
I read more maps than books.
Feel like every chance to leave
is another chance I should have took.
Every minute is a mile.
I've never felt so hollow.
I'm an old abandoned church with broken pews
and empty aisles.
My secrets for a buck.
Watch me as I cut myself wide open
on this stage. Yes, I am paid
to spill my guts. I won't see home till spring.
Oh, I would kill for the Atlantic,
but I am paid to make girls panic
while I sing.
And we won't let you in.
Though we're down and out.
No we won't let you in.
And we won't let you in.
We don't want what isn't ours.
We won't let you in.
You win, you win, you win.
And the coastline is quiet.
While we're quietly losing control.
And we're silent but sure
we inventened the cure
that will wash out my memories of her.
"The harpoon is loaded. The cage is lowered.
The water is red."
Like you, like you.
And we won't let you in.
Though we're down and out.
No we won't let you in.
And we won't let you in.
We don't want what isn't ours.
We won't let you in.
You win, you win, you win.
Another amazing lyricist Nick Thomas of The Spill Canvas, he makes you feel like whatever he is feeling. He uses great metaphors and similies (I didn't know whether it was metaphor or similie so I put both).
Heres a good example, read the bolded parts especially.
Sunsets And Carcrashes
QUOTE
I see a sense of wonder deep inside your eyes
As we're sparkling and twirling in the twilight
And after three long years, I think that we both need this
So we seal the deal in the parking lot with a kiss
And in case you
And in case you were wondering, you are like a sunset to me
You're all kinds of beautiful as you end my day
And you sweetly retire as stars chase you away
I'd collapse to the grass, with your notes ringing in my head
Let the rain fill my mouth, and in a couple hours I'll be dead
But all the while my lips are whistling our tune
But the beauty lies in how you will revive me soon
And in case you, and in case you
And in case you were wondering, you are like a sunset to me
You're all kinds of beautiful as you end my day
And you sweetly retire as the stars chase you away
And in case you were wondering, you are like a sunset to me
You're all kinds of beautiful as you end my day
And you sweetly retire as the stars chase you away
And in case you were wondering, you are like a hurricane to me
Your violence is beautiful, and your center sweet
Now tell me this, do you know how we'd meet?
And in case you were wondering, you are everything to me (to me)
As we're sparkling and twirling in the twilight
And after three long years, I think that we both need this
So we seal the deal in the parking lot with a kiss
And in case you
And in case you were wondering, you are like a sunset to me

And by the way, they're both amazing guitarists.

So the air's getting colder
And the news keeps up scared
I still wrestle this summer
In the bones of our tired blistered hands
Cus tonight, we got drinks
Just a couple of friends
And the girl my that brother likes
Is finally talkin to him
And his chest is all swelled
Like he's proud and happy
He's got a great idea
Like he's makin' a memory
Chorus
Wake up, and come out to the car
Theirs an east swell comin
And it's howlin' off shore
And we'll be...
Lying like lions, out in the sand
But I'll be dead.
Before you put a gun to my brother's head.
So we make jokes back home
And we lighten the mood
Growin' up my parents
Sending the kids to fight
Now with the war, you can tell their a little shook up
Just a few mother's sons
Will really never be enough
Until half of our names
Are etched out in the wall
And the other half ruined
From the things we saw.
Chorus
Wake up, and come out to the car
Theirs an east swell comin
And it's howlin' off shore
And we'll be...
Lying like lions, out in the sand
But I'll be dead.
Before you put a gun to my brother's head.

A great song about the war, and how it's effect on the families of the soliders.
Best CD to date from Brand New.

I'd have to disagree, good CD, but Deja Entendu is amazing, same with Your Favourite Weapon. This is a really good CD though, this can't be all of it too, 9 songs? Im sure itll be fine tuned an mastered perfectly on its released. Hey they start mastering a day before my birthday! (July13 is my birthday) Then I get to see them on the 22nd

There was a family which had an armless child ;
By chance they lived in myeighbourhood,
And I used to peep at their poor little spawn through the window,
In the bathroom while his mother was washing him.
Oh! I was filled with lust, as I witness the scene ;
Lookin at this creature with an unperfect body,
I wanna fuck !!!
Cause it is exciting,
An asshole to be fucked
An no arm to defend it;
Itd be fantastic to see blood runnin from his anus
With every piston stroke Id give this armless child !
But do you think he will get
Enough pain from my cock?
No, sure, itd be better if the work is done
With a pneumatic drill !!!
So once I decided to do it, to screw him
With a pneumatic drill a workman had left on the street
(For my own pleasure, maybe !)
I filled my bag with an axe, hammers, knives, beers,
Razor blades and of course the mighty pneumatic drill,
Then I was ready for a bloody fuck-party !
Breakin open the door, I enter the home
-Violate !
The father tries to stop my hate, my axe shows him the way
-Treppanning !
The mother cries to loud for me ; I slice her throat open
-Blood disgorges !
Witnessing that carnage, the orphaned child panicks
-Armless, harmless !
Undressesd armless child, waiting for the drill
Violently flatenned against the table
Stump by way of arms, it looks like a worm
I show no mercy and began to bore
My pneumatic drill going through the ass
Excites me so much that I ejaculate!
A viscous liquid spurts on my face
From the quivering butthole - Rectal carnage !
Now my tool is fainting, I flooded the motor with blood guts,
But nothin's better than finishing the work by hand :
My hammer grinds the cracked coccyx and crushes the sacrum
After the butchery, I can feel the fortitude of a beer !

End of passion play,
Crumbling away,
Im your source of self-destruction,
Veins that pump with fear,
Sucking darkest clear,
Leading on your deaths' construction
Taste me you will see,
More is all you need,
Youre dedicated to,
How Im killing you
Come crawling faster,
Obey your master,
Your life burns faster,
Obey your master,
Master
Master of puppets, Im pulling your strings,
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams,
Blinded by me, you cant see a thing,
Just call my name cause Ill hear you scream
Master
Master
Just call my name cause Ill hear you scream
Master
Master
Needlework the way,
Never you betray,
Life of death becoming clearer,
Pain monopoly,
Ritual misery,
Chop your breakfast on a mirror
Taste me you will see,
More is all you need,
Youre dedicated to,
How Im killing you
Come crawling faster,
Obey your master,
Your life burns faster,
Obey your master,
Master
Master of puppets, Im pulling your strings,
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams,
Blinded by me, you cant see a thing,
Just call my name 'cause Ill hear you scream
Master
Master
Just call my name 'cause Ill hear you scream
Master
Master
Master, master,
Wheres the dreams that Ive been after?
Master, master,
You promised only lies,
Laughter, laughter,
All I hear or see is laughter
Laughter, laughter,
Laughing at my cries
Fix me!
Hell is worth all that,
Natural habitat,
Just a rhyme without a reason,
Never-ending maze,
Drift on numbered days,
Now your life is out of season
I will occupy,
I will help you die,
I will run through you,
Now, I rule you, too
Come crawling faster,
Obey your master,
Your life burns faster,
Obey your master,
Master
Master of puppets, Im pulling your strings,
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams,
Blinded by me, you cant see a thing,
Just call my name 'cause Ill hear you scream

PROJECT WYZE - Nothings What It Seems
I love this song....
QUOTE
Ladies and Gentlemen
Presenting the outrageous
Like music without the limelight
A guitarist without stages - without gimmicks
Watch me Im a lion without cages
Im free styling with no pages
Like wine Im ageless
Face it, Im spoken word without being a poet
So you can rewind, take my last line and quote it
Im dangerous like car wrecks without the drunk driver
Im that island that traps you and votes you off like survivor
Im MacGyver without that red switchblade
Im man-made
Im graffiti on the walls without the aerosol spray
Im a 30 second delay, without the time limit
Im a shark-infested ocean - I dare you to dive in it
Im that gold chain ready to be snatched from your neck
Im that aids virus when you dont practise safe sex
Im that hole in your latex
Im the sun without Cali
Im like 90210 without that last season finale
Im a biker rally without the Harley Davidson
You're a golden state warrior without Antawn Jamison
Im your last bit of oxygen
Im Wako Texas
Im a 13-year-old kid stealing your Lexus
Im a trilogy without the second and third sequels
Im a crash test dummy without the smashed up vehicle
Im everything you dream of Im life without death
Im a respirator holding on to your last breath
Im Bill Gates MS without Silicon Valley
Im a natural born killer without Micky and Mallory
Im a chair being thrown around at a bobby night (sp?) practise
Im a cross between rival gangs and celebrity death matches
I attack this like pythons - Im a living icon
You wanna see apocalypse then turn my mic on
Rewind this, Im timeless like broken down watches
Youre unheard of like a demo tape in a record labels office
Im the matrix without a glitch - Im a swarm of locusts
Im your hydro being cut off - Im an eviction notice
Im the closest thing to perfect - Im a wordsmith
Put on this planet for one purpose
To punish any man who walk on the earths surface
I make you nervous
Im phantom of the opera without the curtains
Im a haunted castle without the ghost in the attic
Youre top gun without Maverick
Im distortion without the static
Im that uber virus that made your computer crash
The most dangerous 3-letter word is Yas
Im ready to take off like chance at taking master car devices
I can invade your privacy like FBI devices
Im that thin line between love and hate - for heavens sake
Its Friday the 13th at camp Crystal Lake
I'm professional, that's unquestionable, I'm amatuer
I'm real live TV - The Truman Show without the camera
Im a police sketch on the front page of your paper
I make your heart beat skip like a broken cd player
Im ticking, like a time bomb with 5 seconds left
I am what I am so try and follow this
CHORUS
Im a song without a chorus
Im drums without sticks
Im a bass without an amp
Im guitars without picks
Im a mic without volume
Im a verse without rhyme
So just incase you missed it Ima sing it twice
Im a song without a chorus
Im drums without sticks
Im a bass without an amp
Im guitars without picks
Im a mic without volume
Im a verse without a theme
I am what I am but nothings what it seems
Im ready to strike back like Jedi master mind tricks
Im ready to fight back like inner city violence
Im ready to break through like prisoners in Alcatraz
Im ready to take you to a place you cant last
Im your last laugh without a punch line
Im a shoot out at Columbine High at lunchtime
Im feelings that are bottled up without any denying
Im the whole Titanic without any audiences crying
Im silent, quiet, hushed like a kiss
I am what I am so try and follow this
CHORUS
I 'll find a way like police detectives at a crime scene
Ill shut you down with split second timing
Watch me deny you like a cross motor inspection
I can stand in front of a mirror without a reflection
Im your train of thought without its second-guessing
Im a hitchhiker you see without any sense of direction
Im a verse playing myself - by myself no one can stop me
Im a complete song without the help from Yas or Bobby
CHORUS

Mainly the corus:
"Fear no regrets my freind
I will speak to those who listen
See I am heaven send
You will find what you've been mising"
I love that song

"Soldier Side"
QUOTE
Dead men lying on the bottom of the grave
Wondering when savior comes, is he gonna be saved
Maybe you're a sinner into your alternate life
Maybe you're a joker, maybe you deserve to die
They were crying when their sons left
God is wearing black
He's gone so far to find no hope
He's never coming back
They were crying when their sons left
All young men must go
He's come so far to find the truth
He's never going home
Young men standing on the top of their own graves
Wondering when Jesus comes, are they gonna be saved
Cruelty to the winner, bishop tells the king his lies
Maybe you're a mourner, maybe you deserve to die
They were crying when their sons left
God is wearing black
He's gone so far to find no hope
He's never coming back
They were crying when their sons left
All young men must go
He's come so far to find no truth
He's never going home
Welcome to the soldier side
Where there is no one here but me
People all grow up to die
There is no one here but me
Welcome to the soldier side
There is no one here but me
People on the soldier side
There is no one here but me
Wondering when savior comes, is he gonna be saved
Maybe you're a sinner into your alternate life
Maybe you're a joker, maybe you deserve to die
They were crying when their sons left
God is wearing black
He's gone so far to find no hope
He's never coming back
They were crying when their sons left
All young men must go
He's come so far to find the truth
He's never going home
Young men standing on the top of their own graves
Wondering when Jesus comes, are they gonna be saved
Cruelty to the winner, bishop tells the king his lies
Maybe you're a mourner, maybe you deserve to die
They were crying when their sons left
God is wearing black
He's gone so far to find no hope
He's never coming back
They were crying when their sons left
All young men must go
He's come so far to find no truth
He's never going home
Welcome to the soldier side
Where there is no one here but me
People all grow up to die
There is no one here but me
Welcome to the soldier side
There is no one here but me
People on the soldier side
There is no one here but me
these are 2 of my favorite SOAD songs

No matter how hard you try, you can't stop us now
No matter how hard you try, you can't stop us now
We're the renegades of this atomic age
This atomic age of renegades
Renegades of this atomic age
This atomic age of renegades
Since the Prehistoric ages and the days of ancient Greece
Right down through the Middle Ages
Planet earth kept going through changes
And then no renaissance came, and times continued to change
Nothing stayed the same, but there were always renegades
Like Chief Sitting Bull, Tom Paine
Dr. Martin Luther King, Malcom X
They were renegades of their time and age
So many renegades
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
From a different solar system many many galaxies away
We are the force of another creation
A new musical revelation
And we're on this musical mission to help the others listen
And groove from land to land singin' electronic chants like
Zulu nation
Revelations
Destroy our nations
Destroy our nations
Destroy our nations
Destroy our nations
Destroy our nations
Destroy our nations
Now renegades are the people with their own philosophies
They change the course of history
Everyday people like you and me
We're the renegades we're the people
With our own philosophies
We change the course of history
Everyday people like you and me
C'mon
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
Poppin', sockin', rockin' puttin' a side of hip-hop
Because where we're goin' there ain't no stoppin'
Poppin', sockin', puttin' a side of hip-hop
Because where we're goin' there ain't no stoppin'
Poppin', sockin', rockin' puttin' a side of hip-hop
'Cause we're poppin', sockin', rockin' puttin' a side of hip-hop
Poppin', sockin', rockin' puttin' a side of hip-hop
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
We're teachers of the funk
And not of empty popping
We're blessed with the force and the sight of electronics
With the bass, and the treble the horns and our vocals
'Cause everytime I pop into the beat we get fresh
There was a time when our music
Was something called the Bay Street beat
People would gather from all around
To get down to the big sound
You had to be a renegade in those days
To take a man to the dance floor
Say jam sucker
Say jam sucker
Say groove sucker
Say groove sucker
Say dance sucker
Say dance sucker
Now move sucker
Now move sucker
(x2)
We're the renegades of funk
one of the best rage songs i think
Post by: throwingks on July 16, 2006, 12:39:00 PM
Do you mean Afrika Bambataa?
Rage just covered it. You know that whole album is covers right?
I always liked Led Zep's - Travelling Riverside Blues lyric "Squeeze my lemon 'till the juice runs down my leg"

[Eminem]
Back when Mark Walhberg was Marky Mark
This is how we used to make the party start
We used to mix Hen' with Bacardi Dark
And when it, kicks in you can hardly talk
And by the, sixth gin you're gonna probably crawl
And you'll be, sick then and you'll probably barf
And my pre-diction is you're gonna probably fall
Either somewhere in the lobby or the hallway wall
And everything's spinning
You're beginin' to think women
are swimming in pink linen again in the sink
Then in a couple of minutes that bottle of Guiness is finished
You are now allowed to officially slap bitches
You have the right to remain violent and start wilin'
Start a fight with the same guy that was smart eyin' you
Get in your car, start it, and start drivin'
Over the island and cause a 42 car pile-up
[Em's spaceman voice]Earth calling, pilot to co-pilot
Look at the life on this planet, sir, no sign of it
All I can see is a bunch of smoke flyin'
And I'm so high that I might die if I go by it
Let me out of this place
I'm outta place
I'm in outer space
I've just vanished without a trace
I'm going to a pretty place now where the flowers grow
I'll be back in an hour or so
Chorus
[Eminem]
'Cause every time I go to try to leave
Something keeps pullin' on my sleeve
I don't wanna, but I gotta stay
These drugs really got ahold of me
'Cause every time I try to tell them "no"
They won't let me ever let them go
I'm a sucka all I gotta say
These drugs really got ahold of me
[Eminem]
In third grade, all I used to do
Was sniff glue through a tube and play rubix cube
17 years later I'm as Rude as Jude
Scheming on the first chick with the hugest boobs
I've got no game
And every face looks the same
They've got no name
So I don't need game to play
I just say whatever I want to whoever I want
Whenever I want, wherever I want, however I want
However, I do show some respect to few
As ecstacy got me standing next to you
Getting sentimental as fuck spillin' guts to you
We just met
But I think I'm in love with you
But you're on it too
So you tell me you love me too
Wake up in the morning like "yo, what the fuck we do?"
I gotta go bitch
You know I have stuff to do
'Cause if I get caught cheatin' then I'm stuck with you
But in the long run
These drugs are probably going to catch up sooner or later
But fuck it, I'm on one
So let's enjoy
Let the X destroy your spinal cord
So it's not a straight line no more
'Til we walk around looking like some wind-up dolls
Shit's sticking out of our backs like a dinosaur
Shit, six hits won't even get me high no more
So bye for now
I'm going to try to find some more
Chorus
[Eminem]
That's the sound of a bottle when it's hollow
When you swallow it all wollow and drown in your sorrow
And tomorrow you're probably going to want to do it again
What's a little spinal fluid between you and a friend
Screw it
And what's a little bit of alcohol poisoning?
And what's a little fight?
Tomorrow you'll be boys again
It's your life
Live it however you wanna
Marijuana is everywhere
Where was you brought up?
It don't matter as long as you get where you're going
'Cause none of the shit is going to mean shit where we're going
They tell you to stop, but you just sit there ignoring
Even though you wake up feeling like shit every morning
But you're young
You've got a lot of drugs to do
Girls to screw
Parties to crash
Sucks to be you
If I could take it all back now, I wouldn't
I would have did more shit that people said that I shouldn't
But I'm all grown up now and upgraded and graduated
Did better drugs and updated
But I've still got a lot of growing up to do
I've still got a whole lot of throwing up to spew
But when it's all said and done I'll be 40
Before I know it with a 40 on the porch telling stories
With a bottle of Jack
Two grandkids in my lap
Babysiting for Haley while Haley's out getting smashed
Chorus 2x (Same as previous, but 2nd time
the last line is repeated like this)
Drugs really got ahold of me
They really got ahold of me
'Cause drugs really got ahold of me
They really got ahold of me

(More Scatting)
Everybody stutters one way or the other
So check out my message to you
As a matter of fact
Don't let nothing hold you back
If the scatman can do it
So can you
Everybody's saying that the scatman stutters
But doesn't ever stutter when he sings
But what you don't know
I'm gonna tell you right now
That the stutter and the scat is the same for you
I'm the scatman
Where's the scatman? I'm the scatman.
Why should we be pleasing any politician heathens who would
Try to change the seasons if they could
The state of the condition
Insults my intuition
And it only makes me crazy and my heart like wood
Everybody stutters one way or the other
So check out my message to you
As a matter of fact
Don't let nothing hold you back
If the scatman can do it, brother
So can you, I'm the scatman.
Bada bwi ba ba bada bo
Baba ba da bo
Bwi ba ba ba do [x2]
Ski bi di bi di do bap do
Do bam do [x3]
Everybody stutters one way or the other
So check out my message to you
As a matter of fact
Don't let nothing hold you back
If the scatman can do it
So can you
I hear you ask all about the meaning of scat
Well I'm the professor and all I can tell you
Is while you're still sleeping
The saints are still weeping
Those things you call dead haven't yet had the chance to be born
I'm the scatman
Ski bi di bi di do bap do
Do bam do
Bada bwi ba ba bada bo
Baba ba da bo
Bwi ba ba ba do [x2]
Yeah! I'm the scatman.
(Scats)
Where's The Scatman?
(Scats)
I'm the scatman
Repeat after me
It's a scoobie oobie doobie scoobie doobie melody
I'm the Scatman.
Sing along with me
It's a scoobie oobie doobie scoobie doobie melody
Yeah!
I'm the scatman [x2 Mixed with scats in background]

A small human only pretends to die
it wanted to be completely alone
the small heart stood still for hours
so they decided it was dead
it is being buried in wet sand
with a music box in its hand
The first snow covers the grave
it woke the child very softly
in a cold winter night
the small heart is awakened
As the frost flew into the child
it wound up the music box
a melody in the wind
and the child sings from the ground
(Up and down, rider)
and no angel climbs down
(my heart does not beat anymore)
only the rain cries on the grave
(up and down, rider)
a melody in the wind
(my heart does not beat anymore)
and the child sings from the ground
The cold moon, in full magnificence
it hears the cries in the night
and no angel climbs down
only the rain cries on the grave
Between hard oak boards
it will play with the music box
a melody in the wind
and the child sings from the ground
(Up and down, rider)
and no angel climbs down
(my heart does not beat anymore)
only the rain cries on the grave
(up and down, rider)
a melody in the wind
(my heart does not beat anymore)
and the child sings from the ground
(Up and down, rider)
my heart does not beat anymore
On Totensonntag(Sunday of the Dead) they heard
this melody from god's field
then they unearthed it
they saved the small heart in the child
(Up and down, rider)
a melody in the wind
(my heart does not beat anymore)
and the child sings on the ground
(up and down, rider)
and no angel climbs down
(my heart does not beat anymore)
only the rain cries on the grave
