Making the Commute - SotW [Week of 1-16-11]

I am definitely used to driving in monsoon conditions. That says a lot about me.

SotW 1/16:

I'm Coming Home  J. Cole (playing off Diddy...)

I’m coming home
I’m coming home
Tell the world I’m coming home
Let the rain wash away all the pain of yesterday
I know my kingdom awaits and they’ve forgiven my mistakes
I’m coming home, I’m coming home
tell the World I’m coming

Back where I belong
I’ve never felt so strong eh
feeling like there’s nothing that I can’t try
and if you feel me put your hands high, high, high, hey
and if you feel me put your hands high, high, hey


This is my story this is my song
if you aint got the heart, don’t attempt to try this at home
it’s just a poem from a man once living wrong
now I’m in the zone, tell the world I’m coming home
it's been a long time coming, been a long time coming
this song feel like the greatest of all time coming
cause I do it B-I-G, I remember we would be high
who’d have thoguht we’d be running rap when we was knee high
to appreciate the sun you gotta know what rain is
or cause I’m famous you don’t think i know what pain is
but I bounce back, would ya look at that
I take my spot at the top and I aint looking back

I’m coming home
I’m coming home
Tell the world I’m coming home
Let the rain wash away all the pain of yesterday
I know my kingdom awaits and they’ve forgiven my mistakes
I’m coming home, I’m coming home
Tell the world I’m coming

Hey, confusion like I was losing my mind
but one thing I never lose is my grind
my closet need a lot of cleaning now
I can’t sleep cause I dont like the shit I dream about
hey Dear Lord please help me get the demons out
and then let me get my genius out
and get back to what I had
if my goods outweigh my bads, do you think my mistakes is gon even out (even out)
I guess try and see, it’s on my diary, I’m living for my kids
now they is just as fly as me
talk well, wonder if Andre Harrell knew how great I would be when he fired me

I’m coming home
I’m coming home
Tell the world I’m coming home
Let the rain wash away all the pain of yesterday
I know my kingdom awaits and they’ve forgiven my mistakes
I’m coming home, I’m coming home
Tell the world I’m coming…home



I’m coming home
I’m coming home
Tell the world I’m coming home
Let the rain wash away all the pain of yesterday
I know my kingdom awaits and they’ve forgiven my mistakes
I’m coming home, I’m coming home
Tell the world I’m coming…home

Of Some Relation - SotW [Week of 1-9-11]

SotW 1/9:

My Getaway  Bob Rea

I’m going to the rodeo
Now what do you think of that?
I ain’t never growing old
And I ain’t coming back
Got Jesus on the radio
And the devil in my soul
Driving down the center line
All the way to Tupelo

And I thank you for your kindness
What more can I say?
Ever since the moment I arrived
I have planned—my getaway

Someday I’m going fishin’
Gonna catch a great big whale
Then again I might dive in
And touch a mermaid’s tail
There’s fire on the mountain boys
Fire in my soul
I just want to have some fun
Before the fire grows cold

And I thank you for your kindness
What more can I say?
Ever since the moment I arrived
I have planned—my getaway

I should have joined the circus
When I was just a kid
Become a lion tamer instead of all that shit I did
Someone’s got to work the fields
No longer will be me
When every fiber of my being is just screaming to be free—free

And I thank you for your kindness
What more can I say?
Ever since the moment I arrived
I have planned—my getaway

Blue Flame - SotW [Week of 1-2-11]

Controversy obvi evolves with everything else. Suppose we make it what it is. Controversy. Didn't someone tell you the blue flame is the hottest?

SotW 1/2:

Run This Town  Jay Z [feat. Rihanna, Kanye West]

Feel it comin' in the air
Hear the screams from everywhere
I'm addicted to the thrill
It's a dangerous love affair
Can't be scared when it goes down
Got a problem, tell me now
Only thing that's on my mind
Is who's gonna run this town tonight...
Is who's gonna run this town tonight...
We gonna run this town

We are
Yeah I said it
We are
This is Roc Nation
Pledge your allegiance
Get y'all fatigues on
All black everything
Black cards, black cars
All black everything
And our girls are blackbirds
Ridin' with they dillingers
I'd get more in depth
If you boys really real enough
This is la familia
I'll explain later
But for now let me get back to this paper
I'm a couple bands down and I'm tryin' to get back
I gave the other grip, I lost a flip for five stacks
Yeah I'm talkin' five comma
Six zeros
Dot zero
Here it go...
Back to runnin' circles 'round white folks
Now we squared up
Hold up

Life's a game but it's not fair
I break the rules so I don't care
So I keep doin' my own thing
Walkin' tall against the rain
Victory's within the mile
Almost there, don't give up now
Only thing that's on my mind
Is who's gonna run this town tonight
Heeeey-hey-hey-hey-hey-heyyy
Hey-heyyy-hey-hey-heyy
Heeeey-hey-hey-hey-hey-heyyy
(Is who's gonna run this town tonight)
Hey-hey-hey-heyyy

We are
Yeah I said it
We are
You can call me Cesar
In a dark Cigar
Please follow the lea-der
So Eric B. we are
Microphone fiend
It's the return of thee God
Peace God...
(Auh! Auh! )
And ain't nobody fresher
I'm in Mason
(Ah! )
Martin Margiela
On the tape we're screamin'
what its the other side, they jealous
We got a bankhead full of broads
They got a table full of fellas..
And they ain't spending no cake
They should throw they hand in
'Cause they ain't got no spades...
My whole team got dough
So my bankhead is lookin' like millionaire's 'fro

Life's a game but it's not fair
I break the rules so I don't care
So I keep doin' my own thing
Walkin' tall against the rain
Victory's within the mile
Almost there, don't give up now
Only thing that's on my mind
Is who's gonna run this town tonight
Heeeey-hey-hey-hey-hey-heyyy
Hey-heyyy-hey-hey-heyy
Heeeey-hey-hey-hey-hey-heyyy
(Is who's gonna run this town tonight)
Hey-hey-hey-heyyy

It's crazy how you can go from being Joe Blow
To everybody on your dick, no homo
I bought my whole family whips, no Volvos
Next time I'm in church, please no photos
Police escorts
Everybody passports
This the life that everybody ask for
This a fast life
We are on a crash course
What you think I rap for
To push a fucking rav4
But I know that if I stay stun-ting
All these girls only gonna want one thing
I could spend my whole life good will hun-ting
Only good gon' come is as good when I'm cumm-ing
She got a ass that'll swallow up a g-string
And up top, unh...
Two bee stings
And I'm beasting
Off the riesling
And my nigga just made it out the precinct
We give a damn about the drama that your dude bring
I'm just tryin' to change the color on your mood ring
Reebok
Baby
You need to drop some new things
Have you ever had shoes without shoe strings?
What's that 'Ye?
Baby, these heels
Is that a may?
What!
Baby, these wheels
You trippin' when you ain't sippin'
Have a refill
You feelin' like you runnin', huh?
Now you know how we feel

We gonna run this town tonight!

Wassup!

Remember this? - SotW [Week of 12-19-10]

Oldie, newbie, goodie, same thing. Just be forewarned, even you might get that call.

SotW 12/19:

Picture  Kid Rock [feat. Sheryl Crow]

Livin' my life in slow hell.
Different girl every night at the hotel.
I ain't seen the sun shine in three damn days.
Been fuelin' up on cocaine and whiskey.
Wish I had a good girl to miss me.
Lord, I wonder if I'll ever change my ways.

I put your picture away.
Sat down and cried today.
I can't lok at you while I'm lying, next to her.
I put your picture away.
Sat down and cried today.
I can't look at you while I'm lying, next to her.


I called you last night in the hotel.
Everyone knows, but they won't tell.
But their half-hearted smiles tell me somethin' just ain't right.
I've been waiting on you for long time.
Fuelin' up on heartaches and cheap wine.
I ain't heard from from you in three damn nights.

I put your picture away.
I wonder where you've been.
I can't look at you while I'm lying, next to him.
I put your picture away.
I wonder where you've been.
I can't look at you while I'm lying, next to him.


I saw you yesterday with an old friend.

It was the same old same "how have you been?".

Since you've been gone my world's been, dark and gray.

You reminded me of brighter days

I hoped you were coming home to stay.
I was headed to church.

I was off the drink you away!

I thought about you for a long time.
Can't seem to get you off my mind.
I can't understand why we're livin', life this way.

I found your picture today.
I swear I'll change my ways.
I just called to say "I want you, to come back home.".

I found your picture today.
I swear I'll change my ways.
I just called to say "I want you, to come back home.".

I just called to say "I love you, come back home.".

Always Mercy - SotW [Week of 12-12-10]

Yes, I do get tired of trying to type out my brainwaves. Some nights, too bad for you. Other nights, too bad for us all. Try and be a baller.

SotW 12/12:

No Mercy  T.I.

There's no mercy for me 
No crying myself to sleep 
No mercy for me 
Nightmares have become my dreams 
No mercy for me 
Good morning reality 
Will I wake we'll never know 
I'm late for my date with destiny 
Let me go 
Let me go 
You've got to let me go 
Right or wrong 
Let me go 
I'm on my path 
Let me go 

My mama loved me more than i do 
She said you pap was jus like you 
Trapped in a vicious circle 
Jesus youngest disciple 
Tell the judge if he throwed the book at me 
Make it the bible 
Start calling myself the king 
For lack of a better title 
Loyal beyond belief to my detriment 
It's so vital I change or blow opportunities 
Like a choir recital 
Now while I do not care who telling 
Meanwhile selling powder puts food in the bellies 
Well it's unfortunate 
The orphanage couldn't keep up the mortgages 
Kid go to school stupid they teachers ignoring it 
Sorta just doomed, forced into being a goon, selling kush in a jar 
Mixing up da tar in a balloon 
Consumed with the same way of life i left 
Everything I know now learned by myself 
All you see are the whips 
The Maseratis Ferraris 
So they don't sympathise 
Don't nobody feel sorry 
No mercy 
There's no mercy for me 
No crying myself to sleep 
No mercy for me 
Nightmares have become my dreams 
No mercy for me 
Good morning reality 
Will I wake we'll never know 
I'm late for my date with destiny 
Let me go 

Everybody's standing and waiting an they're hating 
Gospels say they should forgive me 
They'd rather hand me to satan 
Blatant displays the day of hypocrisy 
Boy you got to be kidding 
Could it be possibly the second coming of Pac is me? 
Remember That 
When he was here 
And when he died you realize you need him here 
God with me partner 
Ain't no one for me to fear 
Hindsight 20/20 
Future not as clear 
But I'm a rider till i die 
Put bullets 'tween my eye 
I just ask that I can make my peace with god and say goodbye 
Forgot the world like lady Di 
Hone the day he died 
His wife and sons and daughters know that every day he tried 
To be a better person nah they wanted better verses 
They could market to the merchants 
But when they closed curtains 
You could be for certain ain't nobody perfect 
But when you're rich nobody gives a shit 
No Mercy 

There's no mercy for me 
No crying myself to sleep 
No mercy for me 
Nightmares have become my dreams 
No mercy for me 
Good morning reality 
Will I wake we'll never know 
I'm late for my date with destiny 
Let me go 
You've got to let me go 
Let me go 
Let me go 
Let me go

Not gonna lie, would be nice - SotW [Week of 12-5-10]

Two cuties comin togettther.

SotW 12/5:

Billionaire  Travie McCoy [feat. Bruno Mars]

I wanna be a billionaire so fuckin bad
Buy all of the things I never had
Uh, I wanna be on the cover of Forbes magazine
Smiling next to Oprah and the Queen

Oh every time I close my eyes
I see my name in shining lights
A different city every night oh
I swear the world better prepare
For when I’m a billionaire

Yeah I would have a show like Oprah
I would be the host of, everyday Christmas
Give Travie a wish list
I’d probably pull an Angelina and Brad Pitt
And adopt a bunch of babies that ain’t never had shit
Give away a few Mercedes like here lady have this
And last but not least grant somebody their last wish
Its been a couple months that I’ve been single so
You can call me Travie Claus minus the Ho Ho
Get it?  hehe. I’d probably visit where Katrina hit
And damn sure do a lot more than FEMA did
Yeah can’t forget about me stupid
Everywhere I go Imma have my own theme music

Oh every time I close my eyes
I see my name in shining lights
A different city every night oh
I swear the world better prepare
For when I’m a billionaire
Oh oooh oh oooh for when I’m a Billionaire
Oh oooh oh oooh for when I’m a Billionaire

I’ll be playing basketball with the President
Dunking on his delegates
Then I’ll compliment him on his political etiquette
Toss a couple milli in the air just for the heck of it
But keep the fives, twenties, completely separate
And yeah I’ll be in a whole new tax bracket
We in recession but let me take a crack at it
I’ll probably take whatevers left and just split it up
So everybody that I love can have a couple bucks
And not a single tummy around me would know what hungry was
Eating good sleeping soundly
I know we all have a similar dream
Go in your pocket pull out your wallet
And put it in the air and sing

I wanna be a billionaire so fuckin bad
Buy all of the things I never had
Uh, I wanna be on the cover of Forbes magazine
Smiling next to Oprah and the Queen


Oh every time I close my eyes
I see my name in shining lights
A different city every night oh
I swear the world better prepare
For when I’m a billionaire
I wanna be a billionaire so frickin bad!

Silhouette - SotW [Week of 11-28-10]

Struggling to catch up with optional is where I'm at.

SotW 11/28:

Honey Moonshine  The Haunted Windchimes

Some sing and bring in the rain
You set the world on fire
Some people call me insane
You know that there a liar

Lord, save our souls

Come hither and sing-a-to me
Sing so I can hear you
Come take my worries away
So I can see you clearer

Lord, save our souls

The night is nigh the cotton is high
Pass that jug around, the Honey Moonshine
O'er plains, the mountains so high
Through the lonesome valley's of our mind

Honey Moonshine
