For some reason, a line in Vicky Waiting always makes me think.

"Talk of children still frightens me
is my character enough to be
one that deserves a copy made
this I one day... I hope to see"

I don't have children, but that song just makes me think about when I do one day.


I'm sure there are more thought-provoking lyrics that you've wondered about.

What comes to mind?

We're all exited
don't know why
maybe it cuz
we're all gonna die
when we do
what's it all 4?
Better live now before the Grim Reaper comes knocking on your door

Let's go crazy, let's get nuts
let's look 4 the Purple banana till they put us in the truck

Get ur (mack) on and do unto others. I have no idea what that means.
I know the golden rule...I interpret it as some kind of attitude.

Should I remain naked, no image at all?
Should I remain upright, or get down and crawl?

Oh yeah!

In France, a skinny man died of a BIG disease with a little name
By chance his girlfriend came across a needle and soon she did the same
At home there are 17-year-old boys and their idea of fun
Is being in a gang called The Disciples
High on crack and totin' a machine gun

Time
Times

Hurricane Annie ripped the ceiling of a church and killed everyone inside
U turn on the telly and every other story is tellin' U somebody died
A sister killed her baby cuz she couldn't afford 2 feed it
And yet we're sending people 2 the moon
In September, my cousin tried reefer 4 the very first time
Now he's doing horse - it's June

Times
Times

It's silly, no?
When a rocket ship explodes and everybody still wants 2 fly
But some say a man ain't happy unless a man truly dies
Oh why?

Time
Time

Baby make a speech, Star Wars fly
Neighbors just shine it on
But if a night falls and a bomb falls
Will anybody see The Dawn?

Time
Times

Is it silly, no?
When a rocket blows and.. and everybody still wants 2 fly
Some say a man ain't happy truly until a man truly dies
Oh why, oh why?
Sign "O" the times

Time
Time

Sign "O" the times mess with your mind
Hurry before it's 2 late
Let's fall in love, get married, have a baby
We'll call him Nate
If it's a boy

Time
Times

Times
Time

I deel the same about that line...really made me think. Then I thought,....I'm ont making a copy of me....I ope the kid grows to be their own individual and more than likely a better individual...lol.

Far too many to name, my friends

Thought-provoking lyrics are one of the things that make me fall in love with certain songs when I first hear them. I can't think many right now, but the following comes to mind:

And we'll try to imagine what it looks... try to imagine what silence looks like... -If was ur girlfriend

In ur life did u just give a little
or did u give all that u had?
Were u just somewhere in the middle
Not 2 good, not 2 bad?

Dig if u will a picture? If u and i engaged in i kiss. the sweat of your body covers me. can u my darling? Can u picture this. Dream if u can a courtyard with ocean and violets in bloom. Animals strike curious poses. they feel the heat the heat between me and u.
I guess i should've known by the way your parked your car sideways that it wouldn't last. So your're the kind of person who believes in making out once. Love 'em and leave' em fast.
When you were mine. i gave u all of my money. Time after Time. U done me wrong.

So many speak of the moon as though it had no flaws. -Call My Name

Music played,
Nothing great
No way to differentiate
I took a chance. . .

As a songwriter those lines locked in my brain from the first time I heard them.

hey now maybe we can find a good reason 2 send a child off 2 war
so what if we're controllin all the oil is worth a child dyin 4? (is it worth it?)
if long life is what we all live 4 the long life will come 2 pass
but anything is better than a picture of a child in a cloud of gas....

Annie Christian was a whore...always lookin' 4 some fun

'If I was your one and only friend
Would you run to me if somebody hurt you
Even if that somebody was me ...



if I was your girlfriend
would you remember?
to tell me all of the things you forgot
when I was your man.. hey hey, when I was your man

if I was your best friend
would you let me.. take care of you?
and do all the things only a best friend can..
only best friends can.. ooooo

if I was your girlfriend
would you let me dress?
I mean help you pick out your clothes
before we go out .. not that you're helpless
but sometimes.. sometimes.. those are the things
that being in love's about...'

I was thinking about this one!
Well, these ones gave me the same feeling:

I came and took your love, I took your body
I took all the self respect U ever had
I took U 4 a ride and baby I'm sorry
The more U love me sugar, the more it makes me mad

Baby I just can't stand 2 see U happy
More than that I hate 2 see U sad
Honey if U left me I just might do something rash
What's this strange relationship? (ship, ship, ship)

And

Did U do 2 your other man the same things that U did 2 me?
Right now I hate U so much I wanna make love until U see
That it's killin' me, baby, 2 be without U
Cuz all I ever wanted 2 do was 2 be with U ... ow!

I hate U (I hate U)
Because I love U (Because I love U)
But I can't love U (I can't love U)
Because I hate U (I hate U)

I love this kind of troubled, truthfull talk

I love it too.. for a man to open his heart like this, the man is in love..

Are U ready?

Picked up my paper 2day
Give U one guess what they say
Now we got 2 learn how 2 play

Another cross in need of a road
Another loop in need of a hole
Another body in need of a soul
Interactive

Ain't that a bitch?

Tell me what 2 do and I'll do it
I don't care just as long as we get 2 it
Up and down, around and all through it
Baby, baby, baby, let's do it
Interactive

Everything U got is so hot (Interactive)
Bend me over what choice I got (Interactive)
Neck and neck with U I am not

Ahh, hey there baby, hook me up into your box
No no, I don't need the keys 2 the lock
Call me outta of luck laughin' stock
Interactive

Oh, ain't that a bitch?

Tell me what 2 do and I'll do it
I don't care just as long as we get 2 it
Up and down, around and all through it
Baby, baby, baby, let's do it
Interactive

(As long as we get 2 it, 2 it, 2 it)

Yeah, yeah

I work twice as hard (Interactive, interactive)
2 follow U no matter how far
2 U I'm probably worth no more than the strings on this guitar
Ain't that a bitch?

Ow!
Interactive
Oh, oh

tennis shoes and caps now that's phat
up until the day another want 2 laugh behind ur back
saying we all look the same
god bless america the home of the brave
i'd rather dress 2 make a woman stare
i'm putting on something that another won't dare
it's a freezer burn compared 2 cool
and if u still got loot then who's the fool
but everybody wanna take the stand
mind ur own motherfucker and let a man b a man
i can tear it all up cause that's my style
and these r the days of wild

See all the people wonder why
Set your goals high - high as your sky!
See the people runnin' from the truth
Livin' in the past when they need 2 be livin' the new

there's a lady 99 years old
if she led a good life heaven takes her soul
and that's a theory if u don't want 2 know
step aside and make a way 4 those who want 2 go

precious is the baby with a mother
who tells him that the saviour is coming soon
all that belive will clense and purify themselves
put down the needle put down the spoon
sacred is the prayer that asks 4 nothing
while seeking 2 give thanks 4 every breathe we take
peaceful r we inside this prayer
4 in the new world we will b there
the only love there is is the love we make...

Flowerz is right, too many to name

I often wondered about this one:

Have U ever been so lonely
That U felt like U were the
Only one in this world?

Have U ever wanted 2 play
With someone so much U'd take
Any one boy or girl?

----

This big ol' world can be so empty livin' in it all alone
I realize, in its best disguise, a pretty house don't make a home
There's a hunger deep inside of me, how the fire burns
I wanna give good love 2 someone and get good love in return, oh

----


So U thought U just might lose your mind 2day
Brother pushin' that game on ya as if U wanna play
Askin' U every other sentence if them titties are real
One tramp even had the nerve 2 touch 'em as if U wanted a feel

The answer 2 the question of life is a gray-haired xxxxx at least
Suckin' on the ebony dancer in between these dirty sheets
Spittin' out the aftertaste of a boy who might not call again
If this is the game U stood in line 4, how're U gonna win?

----

Can a boy who drops out at school
At 13 years of age
Answer the 2 of life and death
When it slaps him in the face?
Who's 2 blame when he's got no place 2 go
And all he's got is the sense 2 know
That a life of crime'll help him beat U in the race
Help him beat U in the race (Help him beat U in the race)
Positivity

----

Be glad that U r free
Free 2 change your mind
Free 2 go most anywhere, anytime
Be glad that U r free
There's many a man who's not
Be glad 4 what U had baby, what you've got
Be glad 4 what you've got

----

(so many times) so many times, i thought i could not make it
(still would stand all time)
Life was closing in I just knew, I just knew I couldn't take it
That's when Love opened it's arms, and if U dont go in child
Still would stand all time (still would stand all time)
U better run to the light, leave your past behind
All things will be fine
Still would stand all time

----

Hey now, maybe we can find a good reason
2 send a child off 2 war
So what if we're controllin' all the oil,
Is it worth a child dying 4? (is it worth it?)
If long life is what we all live 4
Then long life will come 2 pass
Anything is better than the picture of the child
In a cloud of gas
And u think u got it bad

----

U can still see the picture upon the wall
One eye staring at nothing at all
The other one trying 2 focus through all your tears
U can try and try but there's nothin' 2 hide
U can't run from yourself and what's inside
U got 2 find the answers 2 the questions that U most fear

U surrounded yourself with all the wrong faces
Spending your time in all the wrong places
Puttin' your faith in things that only make U cry
People say they love U when they wanna help
But how can they when U can't help yourself?

----

Race
In the space I mark human (Face the music)
Race
Face the music
We all bones when we dead

Race
In the space I mark human (Face the music)
Cut me, cut U
Both the blood is red

I like how he tells a story... 'Illusion, Coma, Pimp' Circumstance' ... song is funky.. I've heard some say he's talking about WB and if you listen good.. it does sound like it... ..

'she knew which folk to use
but she couldn't dance
so he hipped her to the funk
in exchange for the finance
who's pimpin' who. . if nobody gets a second chance
this is the story of Illusion, Coma, Pimp and Circumstance'

She was older but rich beyond compare
She'd drop a thousand dollars at the saloon just 2 get her hair did
He was good at compliments, better in the bunk
She laced him with a crib in Paris, he hipped her 2 the funk

Way 2 fine he was 4 her
A dirty dog in expensive fur
As long as she's providing chips and whips
We can do this funky thang
As long as she was playing the host
He figured he would make the most of them hips and lips
He hooked her up, rocked her coast 2 coast

Ugly...
So ugly, rich beyond compare
She's dropped a couple hundred thousand dollars on a silver whip
Just to match the color of her hair
She said "Eye got plenty of what you need.
Put the spoon down honey, c'mon, let mama feed you"

ask urself the destination
what's the source of the inspiration b
and u will find instead getting back in2 the mind
like it was in ur mama's belly
live and let live was the order of the day
what u say?
LOVE 4 ONE ANOTHER IS THE ONLY WAY
