All Bad Lyrics

All Bad

The sixth promotional single from Justin's #MusicMondays series finds the Canadian Pop star trying to explain to his love interest that he's not the bad guy that so many people say he is. He croons on the ballad's chorus regarding the haters who try to bring him down.

"They try to get at me
Behind your back
Tryin' to tell me that I'm just like the others
But I ain't all bad."

Like the other songs from Justin's #MusicMondays series, the single comes with a simple graphic image on its cover; in this instance it is a sad face emoticon.

The song was released just a week after Justin was allegedly spotted exiting a Brazilian brothel coupled with a unsuccessful attempt by police from the same country to question him about defacing a public building with graffiti. Though it could be argued the two instances highlighted the singer's message, they didn't exactly help his cause.

5150 Lyrics

The love line is never straight and narrow
Unless your love is tried and true
We take a chance with new beginnings
Still we try win or lose
Take the highs with the blues

Always one more
You're never satisfied
Share one for all with you
It's only one for me
Ah, why draw the line
And meet you half the way
And you don't know
What the means, oh yeah!

I feel like a runnning politician, oh!
Just trying to please you all the time
I've given you myself with no conditions
Going wide, running long
Feeling lost but not for long...

Always one more
You're never satisfied
Share one for all with you
It's only one for me
So why draw the line
And meet you half the way
When you don't know
What that means, oh yeah!

Solo
Always one more
You're never satisfied
Share one for all with you
It's only one for me
So why draw the line
And meet you half the way
When you don't know
What that means.

I'll meet you half the way
Whoa yeah.
I'll meet you half the way
Whoa yeah.

Ring For Sale

This humorous story of love gone bad was penned by Jim Beavers and Chris Stapleton. "A girlfriend from home is going through this as we speak," Pickler told The Hollywood Reporter . "She had asked me in the middle of her whole divorce thing what she should do with the ring and I said, 'Sell it and go do something nice for yourself; I think you have earned that right considering what he has done.' So I heard that song and I played it for her and it made her smile. So I thought, I'm going to cut this for my friend. And when I sing it, I am going to be thinking of her, even though it's written in first person."

Could You Be Loved Lyrics

Could You Be Loved and be loved?
Could you be loved and be loved?

Don't let them fool ya
Or even try to school ya! Oh, no!
We've got a mind of our own
So go to hell if what you're thinking is not right!
Love would never leave us alone
A-yin the darkness there must come out to light

Could you be loved and be loved?
Could you be loved, wo now! and be loved?

(The road of life is rocky and you may stumble too
So while you point your fingers someone else is judging you)
Love your brotherman!
(Could you be, could you be, could you be loved?
Could you be, could you be loved?
Could you be, could you be, could you be loved?
Could you be, could you be loved?)

Don't let them change ya, oh!
Or even rearrange ya! Oh, no!
We've got a life to live
They say: only, only
Only the fittest of the fittest shall survive
Stay alive! Eh!

Could you be loved and be loved?
Could you be loved, wo now! and be loved?

(You ain't gonna miss your water until your well runs dry
No matter how you treat him, the man will never be satisfied)
Say something! (Could you be, could you be, could you be loved?
Could you be, could you be loved)
Say something! Say something! (Could you be, could you be, could you be loved?)

Could You Be Loved

Written by Marley in 1979, "Could You Be Loved" starts with a spare yet distinctive guitar riff that repeats under the track's relentless beat and one of the best known opening lines in history: "Don't let them fool ya! Or even try to school ya!"

The interpretation of this opener and the other lyrics depends on what you think the song's about. Some think it's a love song. Others say Marley wrote it as a ballad to the poverty and struggle he witnessed, while still others claim he wrote it on a plane from Brazil in response to how much love he received when he performed there. Some even see it as being about a man reaffirming his faith in the face of personal struggle. Those familiar with Rastafarianism and Marley's lyrical style (in which he often referred to himself as "you" while simultaneously referring to everyone else, a concept that comes from the Rasta belief that all are one) believe Marley uses the song to convey an urgent message to himself and others: at all cost, stay mentally and spirituality fit inside Babylon's system.

The true meaning probably lies somewhere in a melange of all these theories.

Followers of Rastafarianism see capitalism, government corruption, and even the gold-backed monetary system as part of "Babylon" and live lives as divorced from it as possible.

By the time Uprising was released, Marley and the Wailers had come full circle. Originally a group of shanty dwellers from Jamaica's slums in 1963, the late '70s saw a different Wailers story - and tax bracket. The group was successful, with the trappings that come with it: money, fame, women. This, according to many, caused Marley to have a growing sense of conflict about success in the very system lambasted in his lyrics. As the Wailers began work on what would be their last album, he was also frequently ill as he had lived with the 1977 diagnosis of the cancer that would kill him a year after Uprising's release.

Lyrics to this song read like a disjointed sermon/prayer, where psalms and Bible verses encapsulated into one liners marry preeminent Rastafarian themes like righteousness and revolution. Some examples:

"Love would never leave us alone" could be a reference to Jah, or God, as "love." When combined with the next line, "darkness that must come out the light" - a reference to the Bible verse, "For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad." (Luke 8.17), the lyrics might mean, "Jah will never leave you, so don't worry about anything oppressing you because Jah will reveal and destroy it." All things done in darkness coming to light is an oft-used allegory in Rasta teachings for good overcoming evil.

"Don't let them change ya! Or even re-arrange ya!" reinforce the opening lines. Both lines could be warnings against allowing agents of Babylon to tamper with the righteousness of Jah's children. Marley's exclamations, "Only the fittest of the fittest shall survive! Stay alive! Yeah!", in light of the lyrics prior to it could certainly be another reminder that spiritual fitness is needed to survive in Babylon's system.

Toward the end of the song, the backup singers the I-Threes sing lines from Marley's first single, "Judge Not," a Ska tune about morality released in 1962: "The road of life is rocky, and you may stumble too. So while you point a finger, someone else is judging you."

These lines are likely based on the Biblical admonishment, "Judge not lest ye be judged." Marley's repetition of this lyric from a previous song may have been done to drive home his point about the importance of morality.

This was the first reggae song to get prominent airplay on major American radio stations. It was first played by Frankie Crocker at the New York radio station WBLS. Thanks to this airplay, the song became one of the Wailers' most successful hits and was later used in several films, including I Love You to Death, How Stella Got Her Groove Back, Blue Crush, 50 First Dates and Fool's Gold.

While it's hard to be sure exactly what this song is about, use of the cuica in the beginning of the song - the other instrument in the intro that's not the guitar - lends credibility to the theory that the song has something to do with Brazil. The cuica, or "friction drum" is a Brazilian instrument.

Marley wrote this song with hit potential in mind. He wanted to break into the American market ahead of a big tour that took him into the States (this Uprising tour was his last). He figured that his Reggae music would not be easily accepted among mainstream black audiences, so he wrote this song with a faster, almost Disco beat.

Show Me

The first single released by Kid Ink after signing to RCA features a hook and bridge by his labelmate Chris Brown. Kid Ink has something of a long-standing connection to Breezy as the pair look so much alike that they've often been mistaken for blood relatives. According to Ink its been a comparison that he's been getting since high school.

DJ Mustard's beat is a bubbling Trap instrumental, which also contains a sample of Robin S.'s 1993 hit "Show Me Love." The Californian producer is best known for his work on such hits as Tyga's "Rack City" and 2 Chainz's "I'm Different."

The Chris Brown-directed video is set in a lively house party. Breezy also co-stars in the clip with Kid Ink, which features cameos from pro skate stars Nyjah Huston, Terry Kennedy, Fuzzy and Stevie Williams.

The chorus was written and originally performed by West Coast singer TeeFlii.

DJ Mustard came up with the idea for the beat while overseas. "We went to Germany, and I was hanging out with some DJ... he was like, 'You should tap into the house music,'" the producer recalled to MTV News.

"So many people was copying my style, and I was kind of like, 'Damn, where do I go? What do I do now?,'" the producer added. "When I got back to L.A., I found that sound [on "Show Me"]. So, my lil bro, his name's Mike Lee, he's signed to me as a producer, he came up with the [melody]. He came with that, and I did the drums, and I gave it to Kid Ink. Then I called TeeFlii, and TeeFlii wrote that and killed it, then gave it to Chris, and it just went crazy from there."

Lost In Hollywood Lyrics

Ahhh... ahhh
I'll wait here, you're crazy.
Those vicious streets are filled with strays.
You should have never gone to Hollywood.

They find you to time you,
Say you're the best they've ever seen.
You should have never trusted Hollywood.

I wrote you and told you,
You were the biggest fish out here.
You should have never gone to Hollywood.

They take you and make you,
They look at you in disgusting ways.
You should have never trusted Hollywood.
(ahhh... ahhh)

I was standing on the wall feeling ten feet tall.
All you maggots smoking fags on Santa Monica Boulevard.

This is my front page. This is my new rage.
All you bitches put your hands in the air and wave them like you just don't care.

(ahhh... ahhh)

All you maggots smoking fags out there on Sunset Boulevard.
All you bitches put your hands in the air and wave them like you just don't care.

(ahhh... ahhh)

Phony people come to pay.
Look at all of them, back to stay.
Phony people come to pray.

(the lines in the letter said)
Look at all of them, back to stay.
(we had gone to reckon send)
Phony people come to pray.

(ahhh... ahhh)
All you maggots smoking fags on Santa Monica Boulevard.

(ahhh... ahhh)
All you maggots smoking fags out there on Sunset Boulevard.

(ahhh... ahhh)
All you maggots smoking fags out there on Hollywood Boulevard.

(ahhh... ahhh)
You should have never trusted Hollywood.
You should have never gone to Hollywood.

(ahhh... ahhh)
All you bitches put your hands in the air and wave them like you just don't care.

You should have never trusted Hollywood.

Do you wanna come with the sexy girls
If you got swag, fuck with us
And do you wanna ride like a crusader?
You ain't gotta Christian Dior (christ endour)
My blood type is no negative
But I'm positive that I'm too deep
Switch the light on when we hit the sheets
Truly what I see is all I keep
I see you stacked chicks their views are blocked in
When I help 'em you say broke in
I see you locked in you say I don't let you in
How come all this drama's still trending

Baby you can have it all
Tell me what for
Baby you can have it all
Tell me what for

New frontier I got news from there
Let's sail it to a new frequency
I left the graveyard selling full of fancy
Bring your homie with transparency
My blood type is no negative
But I'm positive the dark ain't deep
Just switch your light on
when we hit the streets truly what I see is all I keep
My sights are set in higher times
And my eyes can see in 3D
Make it bright and I see 360
I can get you, but you can't get me

Baby you can have it all
Tell me what for
Baby you can have it all
Tell me what for

Yeah you keep on telling me you wanna have it all
Tell me what for
Yeah you keep on telling me you wanna have it all
Tell me what for

Cash and Kashmir, gold in Zaier
I got a new want from over there
You can drink a mint tea by the Red Sea
As you're living out whose fantasy
Yeah the sun the moon are both
Hitting the hood and the heat's too hot to be cool
Yeah I'm sailing my bed to a better man school
And it's two in the afternoon
We already bullet-proof we got a big crew
And we're running on a force that's true
We don't fear you wear up-to-date shoes
Or fall for the point of view

Baby you can have it all
Tell me what for
Baby you can have it all
Tell me what for

Yeah you keep on telling me you wanna have it all
Tell me what for
Yeah you keep on telling me you wanna have it all
Tell me what for

What d'you want it all for?

Exodus

This Trip-Hoppy song finds M.I.A. sampling the Weeknd's vocals from "Lonely Star," a track from the R&B singer-songwriter's mixtape Thursday. The Sri Lanka native told MTV News that she tapped his producer Doc McKinney to nail down the proper sound. "When I first heard ['Lonely Star'], I wanted to make a remix version but then the song grew," she said. "I sang on top of the song, but when I heard it back it didn't really make sense as a remix so it [became a] totally different concept, and then it grew into a full song."

M.I.A. reprises the song later on Matangi with an alternative version titled "Sexodus."

Throw Yourself Away Lyrics

Baby's born on a bathroom floor
Her mother prays that it'll never cry
But nothing's wrong, you've got your prom dress on
When they ask you'll say 'it isn't mine'
You know they're gonna know you lied

Why the hell don't you Throw Yourself Away
You know they're gonna burn it down
Wash my hands of this
You notice how god ain't even helping you out
Wash my hands of this
You notice how God ain't even helping you
Why the hell don't you throw yourself away
You know they're gonna burn it down

So keep the way you feel anonymous
And hide it all until the day you die
Your secret's safe, at least you thought it was
But you can only keep it for a little while
And now you're terrified

Why the hell don't you throw yourself away
You know they're gonna burn it down
Wash my hands of this
You notice how God ain't even helping you out
Wash my hands of this
You notice how God ain't even helping you
Why the hell don't you throw yourself away
You know they're gonna burn it down

Baby's born on a bathroom floor
Her mother prays that it'll never cry
But nothings wrong, you've got your prom dress on
When they ask you'll say 'it isn't mine'
You know they're gonna know you lied

And damn you for thinking we will never know
And damn you for thinking we would never mind
Only reason that you made it this far
You never asked him but you never tried

Why the hell don't you throw yourself away
Why the hell don't you blow yourself away
You know they're gonna burn it down
Wash my hands of this
You notice how God ain't even helping you out
Wash my hands of this
You notice how God ain't even helping you
Why the hell don't you blow yourself away
You know they're gonna burn it down

Throw Yourself Away

This song is about teenage pregnancy. The opening lyrics: " Babies born on a bathroom floor, mother prays it would never cry. What's wrong - you got your prom dress on when they ask you say it isn't mine," shows that it is singing through the eyes of the parents finding out about it.

Nickelback took some heat for the intro to this song, which sounds very similar to the Metallica riff from "The Unnamed Feeling," which was released a few months earlier.

Look Right Through Lyrics

I'm quite sure
That you never knew
All the pain that I've been through
Even this morning
Looked outside my door
For your letter on the floor
Seven long years
Of moving through the streets
Letting people in
But they don't talk to me
They Look Right Through
Just like you (Just like you now)
They look right through
Just like you (Just like you, just like you yeah)

Sun comes up, I'm alone again
With the lights on in my head
Still loves us the wing, from my little room
'Cause I gotta go back soon

Other people's lives, all the long goodbyes
Watching in the mirror with longing in my eyes

They look right through oh oh
Just like you (Just like you now)
They look right through oh
Just like you (Just like you, just like you)
They look right through (They're looking right through me)
Just like you (Just like you babe)
They look right through (I can't believe it)
Just like you (Just like you, just like you)

I can't believe it, no no no
How can you change your mind?
Look right through me all the time
I'm gonna give you every part of me
But you just wanted to be free, yeah

They look right through
They're looking right through me
They look right through
They're looking right through me
They look right through
They're looking right through me

I'm wondering baby
Am I a piece of glass
In your mind?

They look right through
They're looking right through me
They look right through
They're looking right through me
They look right through
They're looking right through me
They look right through
They're looking right through me

I'm wondering baby
I'm wondering baby
I'm wondering baby
I'm wondering baby
I'm wondering baby
I'm wondering baby
I'm wondering baby
Am I a piece of glass
In your mind?

They look right through (Ho ho)
Just like you (Just like you now)
They look right through (Oh)
Just like you (Just like you, just like you)
They look right through (They're looking right through me)
Just like you (Just like you babe)
They look right through (I can't believe it)
Just like you (Just like you, just like you)

They look right through
Just like you
They look right through
Just like you (Oh, well, yeah)

Look Right Through

Morgan Geist is an American DJ from Wayne, New Jersey who arrived at EDM music through an interest in the electronic sound effects he noticed in progressive rock songs. He formed the house and nu-disco duo Metro Area with Darshan Jesrani in 1998 and also releases solo material under the name of Storm Queen.

This song was first released on October 19, 2010, where it proved popular on Europe's party islands and turned into an online hit. In 2012, the Defected label issued a series of remixes, and on November 3, 2013 more remixes were released in the British Isles by the Ministry of Sound. Marc "MK" Kinchen's remix was hugely successful in the United Kingdom, where it entered at #1 on the singles chart.

Damon C. Scott (he uses his middle initial to avoid confusion with the ventriloquist Damon Scott, who won Britain's Got Talent in 2007) is the vocalist on this track. He was discovered my a producer named David Levy, who heard Scott singing on the 86th Street subway platform in New York City. Levy had him record some tracks, and later introduced Scott to Morgan Geist, who enlisted him to sing on this track and a few others.

In our interview with Scott , he explained, "I'd go over to his studio in Queens, New York, and he would pay me 50-60 bucks, and I would just sing down certain tracks."

When the remix went to #1 UK in 2013, Scott didn't know about it until he got a call from a booking agent in England, who brought him over to perform some shows. Once the song's popularity faded, Scott returned to America and once again started singing in the subway. He didn't get any royalties from the song because his vocals were a work for hire. He also didn't have any name or face recognition because he's not in the video and the track is credited to Storm Queen (he's not allowed to perform under that name). In England, he could sing this song and get lots of attention from onlookers who recognize the voice, but in America he finds himself is a tough spot as a busker with a #1 hit on another continent. Scott did also contribute vocals to DJ-producer Chris Malinchak's cuts "No Secrets" and "These Dreams."

"When I sang on 'Look Right Through' in 2010 it was just another song," Damon C. Scott told us. "It had no special significance to me and it had no special significance to him, either. I did it in two takes and I never thought it sounded the best it could have. I thought it was kind of horrible that he wanted to use that take. He said, 'Don't even worry about it. I'm just putting this stuff down. I probably won't even make back the money I'm giving you right now.' When he said that, I said, 'You know, you shouldn't think that way about the stuff I'm doing with you, because I'm on an upward trajectory. I'm someone going somewhere, so anything I do is going to be worth more than what you think in the long run.' He said, 'Okay, we'll see.'"

Kinchen admitted to Billboard magazine that when Simon Dunmore of the UK dance music label Defected approached him with an opportunity to remix the track, he wasn't convinced. "He said, 'Do you want to remix this? Jamie Jones just did a remix of it,'" Kinchen explained. "That's really why I picked the record to mix it, because Jamie did it. I don't like the original at all. The vocals are really good; the track is cool on an underground level but it wasn't my thing."

The 2012 release came with a video directed by Nils Clauss that follows both a prostitute and a man selling roses on the street. The following year, another video was made to accompany the hit remix. This one was made by Laurie Lynch of the Rokkit production company and shot at the Cadogan Hotel in Knightsbridge, London. This one finds a man in a tiger mask trying to impress the ladies with his dance moves.

Touchdown Boy Lyrics

There's this one guy
There's no one like him
In all the world
'Cause you can always see
Those girls down on there knees
In those dark sweaty rooms
Planning out his thoughts
He's waiting for just the right

One by one as they
Walk right through
The door, they
Keep on coming back I
Guess they just want more

He has fun, fun, fun as you
Might call him a whore, but
Just look where he's at 'cause
He is the one that scores

I saw my friend there
Out on the field today
I asked him where
He's going, he said
"All the way" now

One by one as they
Walk right through
The door, they
Keep on coming back I
Guess they just want more

He has fun, fun, fun as you
Might call him a whore, but
Just look where he's at 'cause
He is the one that scores

Go

Touchdown Boy

This song is about that one guy at your high school/college/workplace, who gets all the girls. The singer is clearly envious of him.

Have You Seen Me Lately Lyrics

Have You Seen Me Lately

When Counting Crows debut album August and Everything After took off, the group's mercurial frontman, Adam Duritz, became the focus of lots of unwanted attention. Despite his proclivity for dating actresses (Courteney Cox, Jennifer Aniston, Mary Louise Parker...), he hated the trappings of fame, as he found himself surrounded by people he found both banal and absurd. This song is about that strange trip into celebrity, and Adam is fully aware that complaining about being famous will not elicit sympathy from everyone. "It is difficult to deal with it," Adam told us . "If you're a guy who writes about what you're going through in life, then you can't not write about going through that if it happens. It was just such a weird thing to go from being a pretty shy, private person, to being on the cover of magazine stands. I wasn't really prepared for that, especially because I was already kind of unbalanced, and that really set it off"

"'Have You Seen Me Lately,' is about that," he continued. "Dealing with the relationships with people in the wake of that, how I felt about knowing whether they were real or not real, and my perceptions of my social life having exploded out across the radio."

The Funeral Of Hearts Lyrics

love's The Funeral Of Hearts
an ode for cruelty
when angels cry blood
on flowers of evil in bloom

The funeral of hearts
And a plea for mercy
When love is a gun
Separating me from you

She was the sun
Shining upon
The tomb of your hopes and dreams so frail
He was the moon
Painting you
With it's glow so vulnerable and pale

Love's the funeral of hearts
And an ode for cruelty
When angels cry blood
On flowers of evil in bloom

The funeral of hearts
And a plea for mercy
When love is a gun
Separating me from you

She was the wind, carrying in
All the troubles and fears you've for years tried to forget
He was the fire, restless and wild
And you were like a moth to that flame

The heretic seal beyond divine
A prayer to a god who's deaf and blind
The last rites for souls on fire
Three little words and a question, why?

Love's the funeral of hearts
And an ode for cruelty
When angels cry blood
On flowers of evil in bloom

The funeral of hearts
And a plea for mercy
When love is a gun
Separating me from you

The Funeral Of Hearts

This song was the last song to be recorded for this album, and it was written on the spot in the studio, by Ville Valo, the singer in HIM. The band didn't intend for this song to be on the album, but as HIM's bass player Mikko Paananen said: "We gotta have this song on the album, or else we're f--ked." This song was also the first single from the Love Metal album, and the first video. The single reached #1 in their home country of Finland.

When we spoke with Ville Valo in 2013 , the HIM singer/songwriter explained: "That wasn't originally supposed to be included on Love Metal, the album. I had the main ideas for it, but we kind of ran out of time. We already had recorded the rest of the songs, but then I had this "eureka" moment and finished up the song really quickly right at the very last week of recording the album. Everybody liked it so much that we had to reserve some more time from the studio and really work on that song.

As a band, especially a rock band, when you think in terms of albums more than songs, you tend to put all your effort into the X amount of songs. Once all that stuff is out of your system - meaning recorded and produced - then all of a sudden you feel a breath of fresh air, this sense of relief. And that time is really, really good for getting new stuff done. We've had that in the past with a few songs. We have a song called 'Gone With the Sin' on Razorblade Romance that happened exactly the same way."
