Meaningful lyrics to you??

Well listening to music I was just hearing some phrases in songs that send chills down my spine and make me think.... I was wondering if we can share our thoughts on certain lyrics that give you the same reaction....

Little Brother- Slow it down..

Sometimes I think I'm from another world
when I'm trying to tell a woman just exactly where I stand at
I want a girl when I want a girl
and when I don't want a girl I want a girl who understands that


Kanye West- I wonder

And I'm back on my grind
A psychic read my lifeline
told me in my lifetime
my name would help light up the chicago skyline
and thats why I'm
7 o'clock thats prime time
heaven'll watch god callin from the hotlines
why he keep givin me hot lines..
i'm a star how could I not shine.

Jerry was a race car driver
22 years old
Had too many cold beers one night
And wrapped himself around a telephone pole.

Ostrich head - Top of the World

Ima ride this beat till the wheels fall off
Till the sun and the stars all drop
Till the nerves in my brain are shot
Till the blood pumpin through me stops

Far too late for me to turn around
So you'll never catch me lookin' back now
Life's so quick and it moves too fast
but I gotta find time to sharpen my craft

No one to question, to wonder why
it's useless as another day goes by
lied to yourself and you can't reply
when the answer lies up in the mirror's eye

So find your voice and let the rest just go
but never be content to let the grass grow
learn what you can from mistakes in the past
and get out there and just whoop some ass

Common - "Love Is..."

"I knew this girl with a son who dreamt of actin' in plays
Demonstration with her man had her trapped in a maze
Tryin' to find herself again, much of that she'd have gave
Love can free us, to it some of us react as a slave
Funny, we love 'em more when they're relaxed in a grave
Wonder if a thug is raw, is he actin' afraid?
Everybody loves sun, why do I attract shade?...

... Some say that I'm a dreamer 'cause I talk about it often
Seen the hardest nigga soften wit' his homie in a coffin
We walk and stand in, fall in it
With the right companion we all in it
Mary sang a song about it, having broad limits
In the game of life, it's the scrimage
Reminiscing on letters I wrote in my small days
A letter to the people, love always"

Were no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do i
A full commitments what Im thinking of
You wouldnt get this from any other guy

I just wanna tell you how Im feeling
Gotta make you understand

* never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

Weve know each other for so long
Your hearts been aching
But youre too shy to say it
Inside we both know whats been going on
We know the game and were gonna play it

And if you ask me how Im feeling
Dont tell me youre too blind to see

(* repeat)

Give you up. give you up
Give you up, give you up
Never gonna give
Never gonna give, give you up
Never gonna give
Never gonna give, five you up

I just wanna tell you how Im feeling
Gotta make you understand

(* repeat 3 times)

^ thread over.

WOW Where are those lyrics from? That's beautiful right there.

What the heck, time for thread sabotage..


lols, just found out he did a concert here recently:
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Kvgcj07mGU[/youtube]
From the same concert:

Later in the show a Rick gave a fan the chance to sing along with him, he even gave a her a hug and placed her hand on his buttocks! That made her night!

Yeah..Roderick Paulate's favorite song!

I dont like the whole song just the lyrics it kinda bugs me a little bit.

now I've got a confession
when I was young I wanted attention
and I promised myself that I'd do anything
anything at all for them to notice me
but I ain't complaining
we all wanna be famous
so go ahead and say what you wanna say
you don't know what it's like to be nameless
want them to know what your name is
cus see when I was younger I would say

[ Chorus: ]
when I grow up
I wanna be famous
I wanna be a star
I wanna be in movies

when I grow up
I wanna see the world
drive nice cars
I wanna have groupies

When I grow up
Be on tv
People know me
Be on magazines

When I grow up
Fresh and clean
Number one chick when I step out on the scene

but be careful what you wish for cus you just might get it (Hey!)
You just might get it ( Hey!)
You just might get it (Hey!)


I know a lot of songs like this or kinda related to the ones posted, now to just found that songs again

^ Uhm, don't be ashamed of what you are dei?...

pussycat..

When I grow up
Fresh and clean
Number one chick when I step out on the scene

you really should have just cut that one out..

Popular!


Whenever I see someone less fortunate than I,
And let's face it, who isn't less fortunate than I?
My tender heart tends to start to bleed.
And when someone needs a makeover,
I simply have to take over!
I know, I know exactly what they need!

And even in your case,
Though it's the toughest case I've yet to face,
Don't worry, I'm determined to succeed!
Follow my lead,
And yes indeed, you will be...

POPULAR!
You're gonna be popular!
I'll teach you the proper ploys,
When you talk to boys,
Little ways to flirt and flounce,
ooh!
I'll show you what shoes to wear!
How to fix your hair!
Everthing that really counts to be...

POPULAR!
I'll help you be popular!
You'll hang with the right cohorts,
You'll be good at sports,
Know the slang you've got to know.
So let's start,
'Cause you've got an awfully long way to go!

Don't be offended by my frank analysis,
Think of it as personality dialysis,
Now that I've chosen to become a
Pal, a sister and advisor,
There's nobody wiser!
Not when it comes to...

POPULAR!
I know about popular.
and with an assist from me,
to be who you'll be,
instead of dreary who you were...
Well, are.
There's nothing that can stop you,
from becoming popu-ler... lar...

la la, la la!
We're gonna make you pop-u-lar!

When i see depressing creatures,
With unprepossessing features,
I remind them on their own behalf
To - think - of
Celebrated heads of state,
Or specially great communicators!
Did they have brains or knowledge?
Don't make me laugh!

They were POPULAR!
Please!
It's all about popular.
It's not about aptitude,
It's the way you're viewed,
So it's very shrewd to be,
Very very popular
like ME!

And though you protest,
Your disinterest,
I know clandestinely,
You're gonna grin and bear it!
Your new found popularity!
Aah!

La la, la la!
You'll be popular!
Just not quite as popular as ME!

Nothing still compares to the current bible of lyricisity made by Snoop Dogg.
It's so meaningful it contains simple answers to life's everyday problems. Questions and answers like...

What do you do when the pimp's in the crib? - drop it like it's hot.
What do you do when the pigs try to get at ya? - drop it like it's hot.
What do you do if a nigga get a attitude? - drop it like it's hot.
Then pour some Chandon and roll the best weed.

The song is so deep that all of us can relate to it.
We're all some nice dudes, with some nice dreams. We all want ice cubes, ice creams, million dollar boat, drive our own cars, wear our own clothes, and be with a lot of ho's.

The song also touches on the socio-cultural aspect of violence.
"If you play me close, you're on a red beam
Oh you got a gun so you wanna pop back?
AK47 now nigga, stop that!
Cement shoes, now I'm on the move
Your family's crying, now you on the news
They can't find you, and now they miss you
Must I remind you I'm only here to twist you
Pistol whip you, dip you then flip you"

Outstanding.

Nothing seems to kill me no matter how hard I try
Nothing is closing my eyes
Nothing can beat me down for your pain or delight
And nothing seems to break me
No matter how hard I fall nothing can break me at all
Not one for giving up though not invincible I know

Ive givin everything I need
Id give you everything I own
Id give in if it could at least be ours alone
Ive given everything I could
To blow it to hell and gone
Burrow down in and
Blow up the outside world

Someone tried to tell me something
Dont let the world get you down
Nothing will do me in before I do myself
So save it for your own and the ones you can help

Want to make it understood
Wanting though I never would
Trying though I know its wrong
Blowing it to hell and gone
Wishing though I never could
Blow up the outside world

And...

You're my size
I need to try you on
someone in between
the right and wrong

Through everything
you've kept your wings apart
through everything
you've stayed the same all on


And when i've had enough
she drains me
when i'm empty
she fills herself
she takes it all

In too deep
she's spilling over me
in too deep
she's spilling over me
don't wanna have it all


One and through this maze
you hold me in
searching all these days
to find the end

You're everything
you're everything i'm not
i'm anything i'm anyone you want


And when i've had enough
she drains me
when i'm empty
she fills herself
she takes it all

in too deep
she's spilling over me
in too deep
she's spilling over me
don't wanna have it all
have it all
have it all

...aaaand...

Close to my skin
I’m falling in
Someone who’s been

Sittin’ by the phone
I’m left alone
In another zone

John says to live above hell
My will is well

No one is waiting
For me to fail
My will could sail yeah

It’s such a waste to be wasted
In the first place
I want to taste the taste of
Being face to face with common grace
To meditate on the warmest dream
And when I walk alone I listen
To our secret theme

Your solar eyes are like
Nothing I have ever seen
Somebody close
That can see right through
I’d take a fall and you know
That I’d do anything
I will for you

Sailin’ for the sun
’Cause There is one
Knows where I’m from

I care for you
I really do I really do

Come closer now
So you can lie
Right by my side

Sit alone in the sun
I wrote a letter to you
Getting over myself

Your solar eyes are like
Nothing I have ever seen
Somebody close
That can see right through
I’d take a fall and you know
That I’d do anything
I will for you

Your solar eyes are like
Nothing I have ever seen
Somebody close
That was made for you
I’d take a fall and you know
That I’d do anything
I will for you

Close to my skin
Someone who’s been
I’m a falling in

Disasters are
Just another star
Falling in my yard

John says to live above hell
My will is well

Long to be with
Someone to tell
I love your smell

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very
Mad World
Mad world

Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
And I feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very
Mad World
Mad World
Enlarging your world
Mad World.

Three stars and a sun, in one sky, so high,
I live and die and die will I for my
Motherland this is the land of my birth,
No purse is worth the price of this earth
Can we rise, can we all, hell no!,
Or should we all just take the fall?
Bless the man if his heart and his land are one
...3 stars & a sun!
3 stars & a sun! I'm ready to
defend the 3 stars & a sun!
Ommision to a mission, transport for the brain,
Packed w/ stacks of tracks built for a train,
I eat lead, but I never let it be said,
"He said, she said," it makes me see red
'Cuz I don't take bullshit & I'm 'a pack it and push it,
And hit you w/ the full clip
Switch to mode lock-'n'-load in the land of Juan
...the 3 stars & a sun!
3 stars & a sun! I'm ready to
defend the 3 stars & a sun!
Bahay kubo kahit munti, may pula,
Bughaw, dilaw, atsaka puti
There is a need to sow the seed,
Toil the soil and plod until your hands bleed
'Cuz this land is sacred,
Many a battle have been fought with hatred
Don't tell me that you understand,
It's been 4 hundred years of tears
For the brown man,
Still and all the fight has just begun
...3 stars & a sun!
3 stars & a sun! I'm ready to
defend the 3 stars & a sun!

and this one..

I find it hard to believe
That all the pain that we are feeling
Has some meaning in this world

It's so hard to believe
When everything you see is different
From the things that you've been told

I wanted life to be this way
Just a little bit of love could mean so much

Oh please don't take it all away
But with you heaven is still close enough to touch

I find it hard to believe
That someone up there is waiting
With arms open wide and smiling

It's so hard to believe
When someone told me that your suffering
Is what you get for living

I wanted life to be this way
Just a little bit of love could mean so much

Oh please don't take it all away
But with you heaven is still close enough to touch

Because your love is still the only thing
That matters in this world

The only thing I can believe

It's so hard to believe

It's so hard to believe

I wanted life to be this way
Just a little bit of love could mean so much

Oh please don't take it all away
But with you heaven is still close enough to touch

Because your love is still the only thing
That matters in this world

The only thing I can believe
The only thing I can believe
The only thing I can...
Believe

God damn it Jackal, I was going to post that song.

I want to be your love
I want to make you cry
And sweep you off your feet

I want to hurt your pride
I want to slap your face
I want to paint your nails
I want to make you scream
I want to braid your hair
I want to kiss your friends
I want to make you laugh
I want to dress the same
I want to defend you
I want to squeeze your thighs
I want to kiss your eyelids
And corrupt your dreams

I want to crash your car
I want to scratch your cheeks
I want to make you sick
I want to sell you out
Want to expose your flaws

I want to steal your things
I want to show you off
I want to tell you lies
I want to write you books
I want to turn you on
I want to make you come
200 times a day

I want to dry your tears
Every time you're sad
I want to be what's happening
I want to be your only friend
I only go all the way

This time I'm not pretending
I can't take the trash
Your trashy friends are catching onto us
They got like fifty personalities
Oh girl, that's so messed up
You see that sculpture on the hill
That's where she cleared me out
Forever
They're monitoring my self conscious massacres, I know
Bringing it closer to the surface so it's easily pervertable

I want to be a beast
I want to make you proud
And play with your head
I want to take you out
Make you feel adored
And buy you everything
I want to hurt you bad
Make you paranoid
And say the sweetest things
I want to help you grow
Until for eternity
I want to be your what's happening
What's happening

How I wish, how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year
Running over the same old ground
What have you found? The same old fears
Wish you were here


and for my ex:

I've been waitin' to tell you this for oh-so-long
And these feelings I have deserves to be in a song
I wish I could just squeeze you 'til you was out of breath
Grab you by your neck and choke you half to death
Wish I could kick you in your ass without going to jail
Or lock you in a trunk without creating a smell
If only for one night, I could take you by your hand
And cut that ho off, while it's still in the heart of a man
If we could sail across the sea, just you and me, in a boat
I'd throw your ass overboard and just look at you float
I'll glue your eyes wide open, have you roped in the kitchen
Take a picture of my nuts, so you can see what 'cha missin'!
Take a walk on the beach, bury your body with sand
And keep packin' and packin' until you couldn't
withstand
Get a hotel suite, 20 stories above
And chunk you out the window, see you fly like a dove
Just because...

Just because of what loves does
Just because of what loves does

If I could only come up to yo' job and shout, "Where's my bitch?"
Kick your boss in his ribs and tell him, "Fuck you! She quit!"
I'll sweep your off your feet with a box of chocolates
But watch it – 'cause it's really balled-up hog shit!
I reach for your feet, or something that I could rope up
Tie to you to a motorcycle, start jumpin' ramps, doin' donuts
I'll take you climbin' to the mountaintop
Trip you and watch you drop from rock to rock
Only you can make me feel this way, mayne – there's no other
But you had to go and find another lover or whatever
And I really wish you happiness, I hope it work out
So y'all can get a crib together, so I can blow up your house
I put my ring in your mouth, I put my foot in his rectum
Ain't hatin', but if he's takin 'from me, I ain't gonna' respect 'im
And as far as you – If I could, I would love
To strangle your motherfuckin' ass, just because
Just because...

Only love
Can make it rain
The way the beach is kissed by the sea
Only love
Can make it rain
Like the sweat of lovers
Laying in the fields.

Love, Reign o'er me
Love, Reign o'er me, rain on me

Only love
Can bring the rain
That makes you yearn to the sky
Only love
Can bring the rain
That falls like tears from on high

Love Reign O'er me

On the dry and dusty road
The nights we spend apart alone
I need to get back home to cool cool rain
I can't sleep and I lay and I think
The night is hot and black as ink
Oh God, I need a drink of cool cool rain
