Hey guys, what are some fo your favourite songs just because of the lyrics? :beam:

Heres one of my favourites by Tom McRae…

I ain’t scared of lightning
Come on and do your worst
If they gave degrees
For cheating destiny
Then man
I got a first

No I ain’t scared of lightning
It’s the same old empty threat
I’ve been standing proud
Beneath the gathering cloud
And man
I ain’t dead yet
No I ain’t scared of lightning
And thunder never killed
I was born in a summer storm
I live there still
Yeah I was born in a summer storm
I live there still

So what are some of yours?

OAR (of a revolution):: “I Feel Home”

There are few things pure in this world anymore,
and home is one of the few.
We’d have a drink outside,
maybe run and hide if we saw a couple men in blue.
To me it’s so ■■■■ easy to see
that true people are the people at home.
Well, I’ve been away but now I’m back today,
and there aint a place I’d rather go.

I feel home,
when I see the faces that remember my own.
I feel home,
when I’m chillin outside with the people I know.
I feel home,
and that’s just what I feel.
Home is reality,
and all I need is something real.

Feelin alright, headin out tonight,
maybe out to a dark driveway.
I say now some feel bored,
and some are lookin for more.
Well, we all just decide to stay.
We got nothin to do,
and I look at you
I see something that I know and love.
and with the crack of a smile we all stay a while
we know from home there aint nothing above.

You said you a gansta but you neva pop nuttin’
You said you a wanksta and you need to stop frontin’
You ain’t a friend of mine, (huh)
You ain’t no kin of mine, (nah)
What makes you think that I’ma run up on you with tha nine
We do this all tha tyme, right now we on tha grind
So hurry up and copy and go selling nicks and dimes
Shorty she so fyne, I gotta make her mine
A *** like dat gotta be one of a kind
I crush 'em everytime, punch 'em with every nine
I’m ****in with they mind
I make 'em press rewind
They know they can’t shine if I’m around the rhyme
Been on Paroza’s, 94 cuz I commit tha crime
I send you my line, I did it three ta nine
If D’s ran up in my crib, you know who droppin dimes

[Chorus 2X: 50 Cent]
You said you a gangsta
But you neva pop nuttin
You said you a wanksta
And you need to stop frontin’
You go to the dealership
But you neva cop nuttin’
You been hustlin a long tyme
And you ain’t got nuttin

[Verse 2]
■■■■ Homie, in highskew you was tha man, homie

What tha **** happened to you?
I got tha sickest phonetta, when it come to tha chedda
And if you play wit my paper, you gotta meet my berretta
Now shorty think I’ma sweat her, sippin on amoretta
I’m livin once than deada, I know I can do betta
She look good but I know she after my chedda
She tryna get in my pockets, homie and I ain’t gonna let her
Be easy, stop tha bull****, you get your whole crew wet
We in tha club doin’ the same ol’ two step
Gorilla unit cuz they say we bugged out
Cuz we don’t go nowhere without toast we thugged out

[Chorus 2X]

[Verse 3]
Me I’m no monsta, me I’m no gangsta
Me I’m no hitman, me I’m jus me, me
Me I’m no wanksta, me I’m no acta
But it’s me you see on your TV
Cuz I hustle baby, this rap **** is so easy
I’m gettin’ what you get for a brick to talk greasy
By any means, partner, I got to eat on these streets
If you play me close, for sure I’m gonna pop my heat
Niggas sayin they goin murd’ 50, how?
We ridin 'round with guns the size of Lil Bow Wow
What you know about AK’s and AR 15’s?
Equipped with night vision, shell catchers and dem things, huh

[Chorus 2X]

OH MAN i have so many but 2pac’s verses in Me Against the World
i love to death

Verse One: 2Pac

Can you picture my prophecy?
Stress in the city, the cops is hot for me
The projects is full of bullets, the bodies is droppin
There ain’t no stoppin me
Constantly movin while makin millions
Witnessin killings, leavin dead bodies in abandoned buildings
Carries to children cause they’re illin
Addicted to killin and the appeal from the cap peelin
Without feelin, but will they last or be blasted?
Hard headed bastard
Maybe he’ll listen in his casket – the aftermath
More bodies being buried – I’m losing my homies in a hurry
They’re relocating to the cemetary
Got me worried, stressin, my vision’s blurried
The question is will I live? No one in the world loves me
I’m headed for danger, don’t trust strangers
Put one in the chamber whenever I’m feelin this anger
Don’t wanna make excuses, cause this is how it is
What’s the use unless we’re shootin no one notices the youth
It’s just me against the world baby

Chorus —

Personally i think THIS is the best part in the whole song…

Verse Three: 2Pac

With all this extra stressin
The question I wonder is after death, after my last breath
When will I finaly get to rest? Through this supression
they punish the people that’s askin questions
And those that possess, steal from the ones without possesions
The message I stress: to make it stop study your lessons
Don’t settle for less - even the genius asks-es questions
Be grateful for blessings
Don’t ever change, keep your essence
The power is in the people and politics we address
Always do your best, don’t let the pressure make you panic
And when you get stranded
And things don’t go the way you planned it
Dreamin of riches, in a position of makin a difference
Politicians and hypocrites, they don’t wanna listen
If I’m insane, it’s the fame made a brother change
It wasn’t nuttin like the game
It’s just me against the world

oh and nice topic Soul

Watch me heap up what I’ve sown
I’m made of peanuts, not of shells
God spares a quality of himself
Uniquely designed but we can’t help ourselves
So – Why, I made the face that bugs you
I won’t design conversation around you
I made the face that bugs you
Spyglass scans the field
Hold my hand, feel a chill in here
Tired of looking through you
I’ve found myself can you find you
So – Why I’ve made the face that bugs you
I won’t design
Spyglass scanned the field
Hold my hand, still feel a chill in here
Tired of looking through you
I’ve found myself can you find you
So – Why, did I make the face
And I won’t design
I made the face
I won’t design

Hymmm… System of a Down has some good lyrics ripping on republican control of America…

[system]

ive got quite a few

“Pink floyd - Vegetable Man”

In yellow shoes I get the blues
Though I walk the streets with my plastic feet
With my blue velvet trousers, make me feel pink
There’s a kind of stink about blue velvet trousers
In my paisley shirt I look a jerk
And my turquoise waistcoat is quite out of sight
But oh oh my haircut looks so bad
Vegetable man how are you?

So I’ve changed my dear, and I find my knees,
And I covered them up with the latest cut,
And my pants and socks all point in a box,
They don’t make long of my nylon socks,
The watch, black watch
My watch with a black face
And a big pin, a little hole,
And all the lot is what I got,
It’s what I wear, it’s what you see,
It must be me, it’s what I am,
Vegetable man.

I’ve been looking all over the place for a place for me,
But it ain’t anywhere, it just ain’t anywhere.
Vegetable man, vegetable man,
He’s the kind of person, you just gonna see him if you can,
Vegetable man.

“Less than jake - Malt Liquor Tastes Better When You’ve Got Problems”

And I’ve been so busy trying
that I’ve only wound up living
weekend to weekend
getting by just simply “trying”
And I should be out looking for a job
but only wind up heading for a stiff drink
left with nothing else so I think
“it’s time to stumble home”
So I say Hello to wasted hours
and I say bottoms up to better days
I’ve been so busy dying
that I’ve always wound up living
paycheck to paycheck
scraping by but hardly trying
what will it take to get me out of bed
when half the check goes to rent
the other half goes to debt
I should be out looking for another job
Instead I stumble home
Another day not trying
there’s no one left to blame
it’s just the routine and the repetition
I’ve spun out of control

and i cant find the lyrics for effervesing Elephant

<b>Bowling for Soup
All Figured Out </b>

I was the one who had sh*t for brains
I never took the time to notice
that I was always wrong and you weren’t
You were the one who gave up sp many things
Took you for granted
But you understanded
It was just a phase

[bridge]
And I’ve got a new direction
A blueprint for erection of a new life
It’s such a simple situation
Some kind of masturbation
With a new twist
I don’t know why

[chorus]
I’ve got it all figured out
We can ,make it
And I’ll never let you down
Just take my hand
And understand
There’s a lot of tomorrows

I let you down
You had no complaints
Watched as the world went spinn’
Around wihout you
You waited for me
You wanted diamonds
I came up with rollerblades
Shot down again but you smiled
Shook your head
And knew that I changed

I love this song. Plus the fact when you listen to it it sounds like a Buddy Holly track. At least the tune does. I’m sure Buddy Holly never sang about having sh*t for brains.

FORTUNE TELLER (Naomi Neville)

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

I went to a fortune teller
To have my fortune read
I didn’t know what to tell her
I had a dizzy feeling in my head

Then she took a look at my palm
She said sonny you feel kind of warm
She looked into her crystal ball
She said you’re in love

I said how could that be so
I’m not tight with none of the chicks I know
She said before the next sunrise
You’ll be looking into her eyes, and I said…

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

I left there in a hurry
Lookin’ forward to my big surprise
The next day I discovered
That the fortune teller told me a lie

I hurried back down to that woman
Mad as I could be
I told her I didn’t see nobody
Why she made a fool of me

Then something struck me
As if it came from up above
While looking at the fortune teller
I fell in love

Now I’m a happy fella
I’m married to the fortune teller
We’re happy as we can be
Now I get my fortune told for free

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

This song is kinda like my life…

PANTERA
5 MINUTES ALONE

I see you had your mind all made up you group of
Pitiful liars. Before I woke to face the day, your master
Plan transpired. -Something told me- this job had more to
Meet the eye. My song is not believed? My words some-
What deceiving? Now I’m unwhole.

You’ve waged a war of nerves
But you can’t crush the kingdom

Can’t be what your idols are. Can’t leave the scar.
You cry for compensation. I ask you please just give us…

5 minutes alone

I read your eyes, your mind was made up. You took me for
A fool. You used complexion of my skin for a counter
Rascist tool. -You can’t burn me- I’ve spilled my guts out
In the past. Taken advantage of because you know where

I’ve come [from]. My past.
You’ve waged a war of nerves
But you can’t crush the kingdom

Can’t be what your idols are. Can’t leave the scar.
You cry for compensation. I ask you please just give us…

FIVE MINUTES ALONE

This has to be one of may favorite songs. Angry, loud, and straight to the point.

Rage Against the Machine: Bullet in the Head

This time the bullet cold rocked ya
A yellow ribbon instead of a swastika
Nothin’ proper about ya propaganda
Fools follow rules when the set commands ya
Said it was blue
When ya blood was red
That’s how ya got a bullet blasted through ya head

Blasted through ya head
Blasted through ya head

I give a shout out to the living dead
Who stood and watched as the feds cold centralised
So serene on the screen
You was mesmerised
Cellular phones soundin’ a death tone
Corporations cold
Turn ya to stone before ya realise

They load the clip in omnicolour
Said they pack the 9, they fire it at prime time
The sleeping gas, every home was like Alcatraz
And mutha f*ckas lost their minds

CHORUS:
Just victims of the in-house drive-by
They say jump, you say how high
Yeah
Just victims of the in-house drive-by
They say jump, you say how high
Run it!

CHORUS

Check-a, check-a, check it out
They load the clip in omnicolour
Said they pack the 9, they fire it at prime time
The sleeping gas, every home was like Alcatraz
And mutha f*ckas lost their minds

No escape from the mass mind rape
Play it again jack and then rewind the tape
And then play it again and again and again
Until ya mind is locked in
Believin’ all the lies that they’re tellin’ ya
Buyin’ all the products that they’re sellin’ ya
They say jump and ya say how high
Ya brain-dead
Ya gotta f*ckin’ bullet in ya head

CHORUS:

Uggh! Yeah! Yea!

Ya standin’ in line
Believin’ the lies
Ya bowin’ down to the flag
Ya gotta bullet in ya head (x2)

A bullet in ya head (x8)
A bullet in ya head (x7)
Ya gotta bullet in ya f*ckin’ head!
Yeah!

Pantera
Domination
Agony is the price
That you’ll pay in the end
Domination consumes you
Then calls you a friend
It’s a twisted fall
Binds are like steel
And manipulates the will to be
And it’s hard to see
How soon we forget
When there’s nothing else
Left to destroy
It’s a useless ploy

Your eyes will see
The dawn of the day
And the writing
On the wall
Those words that stare
Into your soul
And to yourself
You will befall

It’s domination pushed into living hell
Domination a now blacked heart
Is reaching out divinity
Body suspended by chains over razors
And nails it’s a penalty
Each razor a vice and each nail
Marks the demise of you life.
Grim construction grows
Has life played a trick
Sealed you in brick by brick
Till your end forcing you to bend

Your eyes will see
The dawn of the day
And the writing
On the wall
Those words that stare
Into your soul
And to yourself
You will befall

It’s domination pushed into living hell
Domination a now blacked heart
Is reaching out divinity
Body suspended by chains over razors
And nails it’s a penalty
Each razor a vice and each nail
Marks the demise of you life.
Grim construction grows
Has life played a trick
Sealed you in brick by brick
Till your end forcing you to bend

i love this song
its the song i use for inspiration
