So Bad – Eminem (Prod. by Dr. Dre)
Jul 28th
The new Eminem album, Recovery, is one of his best to date. The sound is much different from any other record Marshall Mathers has put out, but the heavy sampling and lyrical prowess of the best selling rapper of all time shines through and creates an enjoyable, head bouncing experience.
The track “So Bad” is by far my favorite on the album, with it’s amazing Dr. Dre produced beat and superbly witty Eminem lyrics. Eminem and Dre are always able to create magic when they collaborate on a track.
So Bad – Eminem (Prod. by Dr. Dre)
Yeah..
Haha..you feel that baby?
Yeah, I feel it too.
Damn.
You know..i’m so glad we could spend this time together
See, not as crazy as you thought I was am i?
Heh..
I’m the American dream! I’m the definition of white trash balling,
I’m right back on ‘em, with the
(*scratches*) I can’t call it
Same shit, different toilet, oh you got a nice ass darlin’!
Can’t wait to get you into my Benz, take you for a spin
What you mean we aint fuckin’, you take me for a friend?
Let me tell you the whole story of Shady’s origin
You’ll be sorry if you slam my Mercedes door again!
Now, it all started with my father
I must have got my pimping genes from him, the way he left my mama
I’m a rolling stone just like him, word to Johnny Trauma (??)
Keep my entourage with me, baby i’ll make a promise
There aint nobody as bomb as, me i’m as calm as
The breeze, i’m the bees knees, his legs and his arms i’m a
S-superstar, girl, i’m ready for you mama!
Why you think the only thing I got on is my pajamas?
[Chorus x2]
So bad
So good that i’m so bad
Guarantee i’ll be the greatest thing you ever had
Cause you aint never met nobody like me
And you aint gonna want no-fucking-body else at that..
I’m equivalent to a shot of Cuevo, first I kiss your navel
Work my way down, baby you can lay down on the table
But you may wanna find something more stable
I told you I aint fooling from the gate, this aint the first day of april!
But thank you for staying April, i’ma make you learn
To appreciate me, differentiate me
From these phoney, little fishy and sissy fake G’s
Skip over the huggy-bear and all the kissyface, please
Initiate phase three! Missy now service me
Take another shot of Jager, shake it so nervously
Take your time baby, ooh you’re the bomb baby!
Ooh you’re doing that even better than your mom lady!
I told you i’m Shady, you didn’t listen now, did you?
Relax woman, you know that i’m only kidding with you
Got a twisted sense of humour, it’s warped, but I didn’t hit you
I think you’re finally starting to get the picture, i’m..
[Chorus x2]
So bad
So good that i’m so bad
Guarantee i’ll be the greatest thing you ever had
Cause you aint never met nobody like me
And you aint gonna want no-fucking-body else at that..
[Bridge]
Dynamite, dynamite, dynamite, so!
Dynamite, dynamite, dynamite, so!
I can hold you in the morning
But in the evening I gotta go..
’cause i’m on to the next girl,
And the next girl I kinda like, oh, oh, oh..!
I got you caught up in the rapture
Make you recapture the feelings you had for your last boyfriend before he slapped you
You never wanted someone so bad you’re sweating
But if i’m what you wanted, why’d you panic when I grabbed you?
Girl don’t be so frantic i’m just a hopeless romantic
Don’t try to fight the feeling of something that’s organic
You can’t ignore it, so don’t just stand before it
Just drop them panties to the floor, let’s get to camcordin’
Damn shorty, I told you this was bound to happen
Soon as you wrote your number on a napkin I was bound to work a number on your back and
Throw your spine out of alignment
My love has got you so blinded you couldn’t pick Amy Winehouse out of a lineup
So stop with the snoring, pick your pint up
Let’s get the pineapple schnapps going, no one’ll knock cause i’ma hang a sign up
Saying “Don’t Disturb”, shorty i’m so superb
I say the right things, don’t I spit the dopest words?
[Chorus x2]
So bad
So good that i’m so bad
Guarantee i’ll be the greatest thing you ever had
Cause you aint never met nobody like me
And you aint gonna want no-fucking-body else at that..
[Bridge]
Dynamite, dynamite, dynamite, so!
Dynamite, dynamite, dynamite, so!
I can hold you in the morning
But in the evening I gotta go..
’cause i’m on to the next girl,
And the next girl I kinda like, oh, oh, oh..!
[Chorus x2]
So bad
So good that i’m so bad
Guarantee i’ll be the greatest thing you ever had
Cause you aint never met nobody like me
And you aint gonna want no-fucking-body else at that..
(Over the chorus) Haha..
Dr. Dre
2010!
Light years ahead of you..haha..
Whoo!

"Careful What You Wish For" – Eminem
Sep 11th
Another bonus track from Eminem’s latest record, Relapse, is “Careful What You Wish For.” This song is an ode to overnight success and a common theme through many celebrity’s lives as they wished for success but once they have it, no longer want it.
“Careful What You Wish For” – Eminem
So this is it…
This is what I wished for
Just isn’t how I envisioned it
Fame to the point of imprisonment
I just thought the shit’d be different
But something changed
The minute that I got a whiff of it
I started to inhale it
Smell it
Started sniffin’ it
And it became my cocaine
I just couldn’t quit
I just wanted a little bit
Then it turned me (in)to a monster
I became a hypocrite
Concert after concert
I was raking in the dough
Rolling in green
Had the game hemmed up
Like a sewing machine
But I was losing my freedom
There was no where for me
To not go and be seen
And just go and be me
And there was no in-between
You either loved it or hate it
Every CD critics gave it a 3, then 3
Years later, they’d go back and re-rate it
And call the Slim Shady LP the greatest
The Marshall Mathers was a classic
The Eminem Show was fantastic
But Encore just didn’t have the caliber to match it
I guess enough time just ain’t passed, yet
A couple more years, that shit’ll be ill-matic
And eight years later, I’m still at it
Divorce, re-married
A felon
A father
Sleeping pill addict
And this is real talk
I feel like the Incredible Hulk
My back has been broke, and I can still walk
[Chorus]
So be careful what you wish for
‘Cause you just might get it
And if you get it then you just might not know
What to do wit’ it, ’cause it might just
Come back on you ten-fold
I said
Be careful what you wish for
‘Cause you just might get it
And if you get it then you just might not know
What to do wit’ it, ’cause it might just
Come back on you ten-fold
[Verse 2]
I got a letter from a fan, that said
He’s been praying for me
Every day and for some reason
It’s been weighing on my mind heavy
‘Cause I don’t read every
Letter I get, but something told me to go ahead and open it, but
Why would someone pray for you when they don’t know you?
You didn’t pray for me when I was local
And as I lay these vocals
I think of all the shit I had to go through
Just to get to where I’m at
I’ve already told you at least
A thousand times in these rhymes
I appreciate the prayer, but I’ve already got
God on my side
And it’s been one hell of a ride, hasn’t it?
Just watchin’ it from an opposite standpoint
Man, boy’s got to look
Nuts
And that’s the only word I can think of right now
On how
To describe the shit
This is like a vibe you get
Go ahead and bob to it
Just watch what you wish for, ’cause I got the shit
[Chorus]
So be careful what you wish for
‘Cause you just might get it
And if you get it then you just might not know
What to do wit’ it, ’cause it might just
Come back on you ten-fold
I said
Be careful what you wish for
‘Cause you just might get it
And if you get it then you just might not know
What to do wit’ it, ’cause it might just
Come back on you ten-fold
Rapper Ludacris Gives Away 20 Cars
Sep 7th
In a purely selfless gesture, the rapper Ludacris has given away brand new cars to 20 people who wrote essays to his foundation explaining how having a car would help them in getting to work and keeping their jobs. Luda received thousands of essays and chose the 20 most touching examples of Americans dealing with unique hardship and pushing through their struggles to make a better life for themselves and their family.
Some of the cars given away include a Nissan Maxima and Saturn Ion. Hopefully the new wheels help those 20 people keep their jobs and make their lives a little easier. Thanks go out to Ludacris for giving back on Labor Day in a time of difficulty for most of the nation’s labor force.
"My Darling" – Eminem
Sep 4th
I am a rabid Eminem fan and have always gone out to buy his albums the day they drop. But now that I have an iPod Touch I have begun using iTunes and discovered some special tracks on the latest Relapse album that are only available for download. I love both “My Darling” and “Careful What You Wish For.” I think Marshall has found his voice once again and is staging a great comeback, I can’t wait for the second album of his to be released later this year. His creative genius really shines through after going through turbulence in his life. After writing about his childhood and upward struggle his raps ran out of steam with the album Encore, but now he’s back with a vengence rapping about his recent drug addiction, divorce, the death of his best friend Proof (DeShaun Holton) and personal struggle. Keep it coming Em!
“My Darling” – Eminem
If I were to rap about the crap that’s out
That’s the route you probably want me to take
Cos your just dying to know what I think
And my take on some other rappers
If I was to say somethin’ bout’ Paul Wall
You’d probably crap in your pants cos I’m white and he’s white
So he’s like, my competition I mean, right
nope, Paul Wall is dope and so’s bubba
But, but, but….
But I don’t compete with nobody
I just go hard do the rope a dope Ali shuffle
And dance around my opponents do donuts
Sometimes I play possum like I’m asleep it’s awesome!
I’m like a sleeping giant and when I awake I’m like Dre
I just jump from outta no where and bite prey
And sink my teeth in and fill em’ fulla poison
And make a noise like a snake before I kill em’
And let em’ know I just don’t feel em’
And smack em’ with the backward E the Eminem em-belem
I was taught if your gonna murder somebody you should face em’
Tell em’ why look em’ dead in the eye then waste em’
And the dark shall emerge from the fiery depths of hell
And swallow the shallow the hallow who dwell
In the shadows of all who are willing to sell there souls
For this rap game and it ga ga goes…….
123 check, check 123, check 123
That ain’t the hook now follow me
There’s nothing else for me to say
My public adores me!
Everybody bores me they just so corny
So at night before I sleep I look in the mirror
The mirror glows lips and it whispers come nearer
( Hook )
My darling, I don’t ever want you to leave me my darling
You and me were meant to be together my darling
And if I can not have you then no one can your my darling
Cuz I posses your soul, your mind, your heart and your body
And I don’t want you too ever leave me my darling
You and me were meant to be together my darling
And if I can not have you then no one can your my darling
Cuz I possess your soul, your mind, your heart and your body
( Verse )

Because I love you look a little closer… Isn’t that us on that poster? Hahaha
( Hook )
My darling, I don’t ever want you to leave me my darling
You and me were meant to be together my darling
And if I can not have you then no one can your my darling
Cuz I posses your soul, your mind, your heart and your body
And I don’t want you too ever leave me my darling
You and me were meant to be together my darling
And if I can not have you then no one can your my darling
Cuz I possess your soul, your mind, your heart and your body.
( Verse )

You remember that night you
Prayed to god you’d give anything to get a record deal well Dre signed you!
This is what you wanted your whole life Marshall right boo?
Look at this house! look at these cars! I’m so nice ooooh!
Oh, but you didn’t know that fame has a price too ?
That your just now seeing the downside too!
Lose your best friend from high school your wife too!
Ain’t even sure if your kids like you!
Come off tour cant even sleep at night without ny-quill
Think of the valium addicts start a rehab cycle
But together we can break the cycle
Marshall? WHAT!
No ones gonna love you like I do!
(Hook )
My darling, I don’t ever want you to leave me my darling
You and me were meant to be together my darling
And if I can not have you then no one can your my darling
Cuz I posses your soul, your mind, your heart and your body
And I don’t want you too ever leave me my darling
You and me were meant to be together my darling
And if I can not have you then no one can your my darling
Cuz I possess your soul, your mind, your heart and your body.

Beautiful Dream – Everclear
Sep 29th
Another Everclear song this week. This one is a hidden track on the “Welcome to the Drama Club” album.
Beautiful Dream -Everclear
I had a dream I was living by the ocean
I had a dream I was living in the sun
I wake up sad because I’m living in darkness
I know I’m not alone
I know I’m not the only one
I had a dream that I had no depression
I had a dream I had a smile on my face
I wake up hungry so I feed my obsession
I know I gotta leave
I know I gotta run away
Far away
Where the faces all look happy and I know it’s a dream
A beautiful dream
I want to lose myself in the sunshine where I can be free
Yeah I just wanna be free
Free in a beautiful dream
Yeah but it’s a beautiful dream
I had a dream I was living by the ocean
I had a dream I was living for the day
I wake up sad in a perpetual emotion
I know I gotta leave here
I know I gotta run away
Far away
Where the faces all look happy and I know it’s a dream
A beautiful dream
I want to lose myself in the sunshine where I can be free
I just wanna be free
Free in a beautiful dream
Yeah a beautiful dream
Free inside a beautiful dream
Free in a beautiful dream

"Hater" – Everclear
Sep 22nd
This is one of my favorite Everclear songs with the new lineup and unfortunately they have not played it live at any of the concerts I’ve been to.
“Hater”
Everclear
I don’t like the way that you talk to me
When you tell me how it’s going be
And I don’t like the way that you smile at me
When you tell me what is wrong with me
Sometimes I wish you would go away
Go away and never ever come back
I don’t like the meaning that makes the things you do
It makes me want to hate on you
Yeah it’s got me sad
I’m kind of stressed
You got me feeling anxious
I’m always depressed
And I don’t want to play this game of tug of war
I don’t want to be with a hater like you anymore
I don’t want to be with a hater like you anymore
No I don’t want to be with a hater
You are such a hater
I don’t like the way that you never took the blame
For absolutely anything
And I don’t like the way that you put me through hell
For all those things you do yourself
Sometimes I wish I could disappear
All the way into a happy new life
I don’t like the way that you’re always telling lies
You talk about me all the time
I hear you talk
You a such a bore
I see the way you look
I think you look like a whore
I know you know I know the way your working for
I don’t won’t to be with hater like you anymore
I don’t want to be with a hater like you anymore
I don’t want to be with a hater like you
Hater. Hater
I don’t want to be with a hater like you
Hater. Hater
I don’t want to be with a hater like you anymore
Anymore…
I don’t want to play this game
No I don’t want to play these games
Your a hypocrite
Yeah you lie to me
You use words you don’t understand
You embarrass me
Yeah your beautiful in a ugly way
Hey the sex was never that good anyway
Its got me down
I am super stressed
I’m taking medication
I’m always depressed
I don’t want to fight you in this tug of war
I don’t want to be with a hater like you anymore
I don’t want to be with a hater like you anymore
I don’t want to be with a hater like you
I don’t want to be with a hater like you
I don’t want to be with a hater like you
Hater
"Grow Up" – Simple Plan
Aug 4th
It’s another Music Lyric Monday and I think this week I’ll feature some punk rock.
Grow Up
By: Simple Plan
This is who I am and this what I like
GC, Sum and Blink and MXPX rocking my room
If your looking for me I’ll be at the show
I can never find a better place to go
Until the day I die, I promise I won’t change
So you better give up
[Chorus:]
I don’t wanna be told to grow up,
And I don’t wanna change,
I just wanna have fun.
I don’t wanna be told to grow up,
And I don’t wanna change,
So you better give up,
Cause I’m not gonna change,
I don’t wanna grow up.
I like to stay up late, spend hours on the phone
Hanging out with all my friends and never being at home
I’m impolite and I make fun of everyone
I’m immature but I will stay this way forever
‘Til the day I die, I promise I won’t change
So you better give up
[Chorus]
I don’t wanna be told to grow up…
I don’t wanna be told to grow up…
I don’t wanna be told to grow up,
And I don’t wanna change,
I just wanna have fun.
I don’t wanna be told to grow up,
And I don’t wanna change,
So you better give up.
I don’t wanna be told to grow up,
And I don’t wanna change,
I just wanna have fun.
I don’t wanna be told to grow up,
And I don’t wanna change,
So you better give up,
No I dont wanna change,
So you better give up,
‘Cause I’m not gonna change,
I DON’T WANNA GROW UP!!!
Rock Bottom – Eminem
Jul 28th
It’s Monday and time for some music lyrics. This one by Eminem is a pretty dark and gloomy song, but sooths me when my mood is bad.
“Rock Bottom”
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 percocets, 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 (x2):]
That’s Rock Bottom
When this life makes you mad enough to kill
That’s Rock Bottom
When you want something bad enough to 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]
