You Got What I Eat Lyrics">You Got What I Eat Lyrics


Yeah, this pimping stay open all night
Check this out Jellyroll[Snoop Dogg]
We do break hoes
We don't fuck with fake hoes
Yeah, we make hoes
Strip down to they panty hose
Pop your whip, now grab that bitch
Pimping Snoop ain't having it
Oh you like pussy, congratulations
I'm trying to get your ass in my congregations
I keep three hoes in my room at one time
Two nickels and the other's a dime
You wouldn't want to, keep a hood on her
When I'm dropping that motherfucking wood on her
Cause I perform, a G like Warren
A nigga getting paid off shooting porn
They call me the black folks President
Snoop Heffner mixed with a little bit of Doggy Flint
Banging this parliament, come get a bar with this
You would want to be a part of this, oh bitch ass nigga
Quit playing with the hoe, and let me borrow the bitch
[Chorus: Charlie Wilson]
You got what I want
Tell me if you want, just what I want
Cause I got, what you need
Baby if you need some, get it from me
Cause I got, what you want
I want you to want, just what I want
Just want, what I want
Ooh you got just what I want
[Goldie Loc]
Look mama make you hot like a corn to pop
And watch how fast you see a nigga boxers drop
I'm trying to work it fast, but I know you like it slow
You know I got to bust a nut and hurry up and go
You got something that I want right now
Hurry up and let me put the black spot on the cow
Make the pussy ball up like salt to a snail
And when I kill it big daddy, I want you to tell
Cause I don't give a damn when it come to freaking hoes
Call up forty hoes, and have a rolly peep show
And when you give me something, you gone want something back
This dick to your mouth, little mama like that
Fish cost too much, so I feed her sardines
Man I'm the motherfucking MVP of the team
Cold game how a nigga steady spitting this shit
make her mama jump back and say bitch is a pimp
[Chorus]
[Charlie Wilson]
Of course she love my nine
Bitch I got that antidote
Got a bigger dick that'll crack your spine
Then I'm gonna let it inside your throat
[Ludacris]
Tricked out, kicked out get her on gone
Ludacris on the motherfucking microphone
Hey, what's up I came to pimp
Fur hats and fur clothes, and a razor tim
Bitch, I got it made
Just pick one of my hoes, and I got it leid
You never heard as many bitches so fast and frequent
Can I get the ends, bitch delinquents
Run my bath water, cook my meals
And shut the fuck up, when I book the deals
And iron my draws, give me cuffs and creases
It's your nephew come to fuck your nieces
[Chorus: x2]
Gimme what I want
I got what you need
Gimme what I want
Yeah, yeah

It's About Time Lyrics


All the kids are throwing sticks
Politics
Nights on the wire
Everybody wants to get by
'Ts a test of the times
A test of my rights
It's on pretty lady

Born to be angry
Grip of the vice
Click on the trigger, girl
Sip wine on ice

It's About Time
Best to rewind
You better blow
Pistols, pistols, pistols

Lights low
Go on baby go
It's a bad time
I'm on a tight rope

Don't go oh go
It's about time, it's about time

Everybody come on
Lights on the beaches
Everybody come on, delight

Close the front door
I don't wanna go
Like I'm on the Truman Show

Best to let go
You don't wanna know
You better blow

Pistols, pistols, pistols
Lights low
Go on baby go
It's a bad time
I'm on a tight rope

Don't go oh go!
It's about time, it's about

All the years of paradise
Paradigms
Paralyze us
You're crazy

All the cards you've organized
Shuffled twice in front of my eyes
Everybody has
Needs, wants, a cold gun

Lights low
Go on baby go
It's a bad time
I'm on a tight rope

Don't go oh go!
It's about time, it's about
Pistols, pistols

It's About Time
  • The first single from Young The Giant's Mind Over Matter album is a harder-edged alternative sound than any of the band's previous material. Frontman Sameer Gadhia told MTV News it's the most aggressive track on the record both lyrically and thematically. "Sonically, we wanted to take a really contemporary spin on maybe an older rock song," he said, "We just wanted to change things up a little bit and do something a little bit different."

    "That song, in particular, I think is really a symbolic idea of how people use power," guitarist Eric Cannata added. "The album touches on a lot of these different themes about times when you can't block out this pressure that you're feeling inside and the times that you kind of break free from that pressure and are able to do limitless things and express yourself in limitless ways."

    Township Rebellion Lyrics


    Rebel, rebel and yell
    'Cause our people still dwell in hell
    Locked in a cell
    Yes, the structure's a cell
    Mad is the story I tell
    How long can we wait?
    Come on, seein' what's at stake
    Action for reaction
    If your mind's in a somewhat complacent state
    Get a check up
    This is a stick up
    Our freedom or your life
    Lord, I wish I could be peaceful
    But there can be no sequel
    Now freedom must be fundamental
    In Johannesburg or South Central
    On the mic, 'cause someone should tell 'em
    To kick in the Township Rebellion

    Yeah, what about that, sucker? Unh

    Yeah, so you thought you could get with the hard lines
    That fill your mind
    Thoughts, battles fought
    And lessons taught
    Yes I'll display the fitness
    And flip like a gymnast
    Raise my fist and resist
    Asleep, though we stand in the midst
    Of a war
    Gotta get mine
    Gotta get more
    Keepin' the mic warm against the norm
    'Cause what does it offer me?
    I think often it's nothin' but a coffin

    Gotta get wreck
    Till our necks never swing on a rope
    From here to the cape of no hope

    Now freedom must be fundamental
    In Johannesburg or South Central
    On the mic, 'cause someone should tell 'em
    To kick in the township rebellion

    Why stand on a silent platform?
    Fight the war, fuck the norm
    Why stand on a silent platform?
    Fight the war, fuck the norm
    Why stand on a silent platform?
    Fight the war, fuck the norm
    Why stand on a silent platform?
    Fight the war, fuck the norm

    Why stand on a silent platform?
    Fight the war, fuck the norm
    Why stand on a silent platform?
    Fight the war, fuck the norm
    Why stand on a silent platform?
    Fight the war, fuck the norm
    Why stand on a silent platform?
    Fight the war, fuck the norm

    What's it gonna take?

    Shackle their minds when they're bent on the cross
    When ignorance reigns, life is lost
    Shackle their minds when they're left on the cross
    When ignorance reigns, life is lost
    Shackled our minds when we're bent on the cross
    When ignorance reigns, life is lost
    Shackled our minds when we're left on the cross
    When ignorance reigns, life is lost, lost, lost!
    Shackle your minds and you're left on the cross!
    When ignorance reigns, life is lost!
    Just shackle your minds when you're bent on the cross!
    When ignorance reigns, life is lost, lost!

    Why stand on a silent platform?
    Fight the war, fuck the norm

    Photographs Lyrics


    I’ll never know how you felt when you kissed him
    I’ll never know if he made you smile
    I’ll never know if you secretly think back and miss him
    These things I wonder every once in a while

    Honey, take down those Photographs
    I need to know what’s passed is passed, oh
    Tell me I’m the only one, that your two-timing days are done
    That you have had your fun

    When I met you, you were wild and you were free
    When I met you, you were a whole lot like me
    Well, we’ve both grown quite a bit
    There’s some things I’d really like to forget
    You won’t let me, I don’t know why you won’t let me

    Honey, take down those photographs
    I need to know what’s passed is passed, oh
    Tell me I’m the only one, that your two-timing days are done
    That you have had your fun

    Take down those photographs
    I need to know what’s passed is passed, oh
    Tell me I’m the only one, that your two-timing days are done

    Photographs
  • This is the title track from the singer-songwriter Robert Ellis' first major label release. The song finds Ellis asking his girl to take down the photos that remind him of her previous (and possibly current) lover. "It's a song about infidelity," he said in our 2013 interview.
  • Ellis took a different approach to the two sides of the Photographs album. The "A-side" contains songs with more original inspiration that he spent a long time developing. On the "B-side," which includes this track, he was writing songs in classic Bluegrass and Country traditions. This song evokes the classic Country songs by the likes of George Jones where the singer's heart is breaking.

    Settle For Nothing Lyrics


    A jail cell is freedom from the pain in my home
    Hatred passed on, passed on and passed on
    A world of violent rage
    But it's one that I can recognize
    Having never seen the color of my father's eyes
    Yes, I dwell in hell, but it's a hell that I can grip
    I tried to grip my family
    But I slipped

    To escape from the pain in an existence mundane
    I gotta nine, a sign, a set and now I gotta name

    Read my writing on the wall
    No-one's here to catch me when I fall
    Death is on my side, suicide!

    A jail cell is freedom from the pain in my home
    Hatred passed on, passed on and passed on
    A world of violent rage
    But it's one that I can recognize
    Having never seen the color of my father's eyes
    Yes, I dwell in hell, but it's a hell that I can grip
    I tried to grip my family
    But I slipped

    To escape from the pain in an existence mundane
    I gotta nine, a sign, a set and now I gotta name

    Read my writing on the wall
    No-one's here to catch me when I fall
    Caught between my culture and the system, genocide!

    Read my writing on the wall
    No-one's here to catch me when I fall
    If ignorance is bliss, then knock the smile off my face
    Yeah!

    If we don't take action now
    We Settle For Nothing later
    Settle for nothing now
    And we'll settle for nothing later
    If we don't take action now
    We settle for nothing later
    We'll settle for nothing now

    Slow Suicide Lyrics


    I'm not evil
    No matter what you think of me
    I'm just human
    There's a part of you that's just like me

    I have fallen
    I have broken every piece
    Heard heaven calling
    I could only reach this from my knees
    And now I believe

    [Chorus]
    I can't let this life pass me by
    In a blink of an eye it ends
    I can't let my tomorrows decide
    What I am in this life
    It's like committing Slow Suicide

    It's no secret
    I can't pretend, I can't forget
    What I've done
    Every day I live with the consequences
    I let it beat me, let it kick me, let it throw me to the floor
    Those days are over
    I'm moving forward
    It can't hurt me
    And now I believe

    [Chorus]
    I can't let this life pass me by
    In a blink of an eye it ends
    I can't let my tomorrows decide
    What I am in this life
    It's like committing slow suicide

    So many days I chose to suffer, living a lie
    So many ways I chose to die
    Oh, had to feel less than nothing
    Shame and suffering
    To see with my own eyes
    I wasn't living
    I was committing
    Committing slow suicide
    Committing slow suicide

    And now I believe

    [Chorus]
    I can't let this life pass me by
    In a blink of an eye it ends
    I can't let my tomorrows decide
    What I am in this life
    It's like committing slow suicide

    Committing slow suicide
    Committing slow suicide

    Slow Suicide
  • Scott Stapp's slow suicide was his self-destructive behavior in the years after Creed became one of the most successful bands in America. He became dependent on drugs and alcohol, culminating in a 40-foot fall from a hotel room in Miami after a bout of paranoia.

    The first track on his second solo album, it finds Stapp looking back on this time and putting it behind him.
  • In our 2013 interview with Scott Stapp , he said that the Proof of Life album was his best body of work. Said Stapp: "I'm the most content that I've ever been in my 40 years on this Earth and the happiest and the most full of just peace and joy than I've ever been. And I think life reflects art, art reflects life. Just being able to make a record from an organic place, from a place of inspiration and a place free of any negativity or any forcing, brought out the best in me as an artist."
  • Stapp was encouraged by his producer Howard Benson to simplify and clarify his lyrical ideas for Proof of Life. He explained: "I've always been heavy on metaphor and symbols, even to where I might hide behind fanciful language. Howard helped me get straight to the point."

    Stapp's new approach to writing lyrics is highlighted on this song. "The point is that for years I was slowly killing myself," he said. "Drugs and booze want to kill you instantly, but they're patient and will take their time. The same is true of toxic relationships. I had to start off this story by declaring the most obvious of truths: that I had been torturing and poisoning myself in an attempt to snuff out my soul."
  • The song's music video was directed by Andrew Gant and shot in an old abandoned Los Angeles hospital. The clip draws from real life. "It's an autobiography exactly as it happened," admitted Stapp to Fuse TV. "There's no embellishment; if anything, it's toned down from reality. It was a real cathartic experience. I got to see what alcohol and drugs did to me, but I got to see it from a clear place shooting this video. I got to sit back and say, 'My god, my wife and my family were in the hospital and I looked like that [in real life].' The other scenarios were all me bringing closure to my life."
  • Stapp told the story of the song to Artist Direct : "I was with a friend of mine named Scott Stevens, formerly of The Exies, a rock band out of Los Angeles. We were jamming and sitting around with acoustic guitars. Nothing had been written for my record. I was thinking of how I wanted this album to start. I wanted to come right out at the top and address, for my perspective, honestly, what I had been doing to myself for a period of years. I wanted to open the door in the chorus to the realization that had brought me out of it. It was a way for me to confront the detractors with truth and honesty about myself and also tell my fans, 'Hey, if you've ever had any questions, this is what's been going on!'"

    War Within A Breath
  • "It's land or death" is a phrase that emphasizes that land, for the agrarian cultures of Chiapas, Mexico, is life - sustained by relationships with supernatural forces, and nurtured in communal and familial rituals. Land is the essential part of being, and is worked, cared for, and ritualized in a cultural, symbolic, and matter-of-survival context. When the Mexican government "changed" article 27 of the Constitution, eliminating community property, they also eliminated the people, dividing them into pieces, families, or individuals, and privatizing the land. If the Zapatistas don't take arms and fight for land - they face death.

    Do I imagine it, or do I see your stare
    Is there still longing there?
    Oh I hate myself, and I feel crazy
    Such a classic tale
    Current girl friend, ex girlfriend, I'm trying to be cool
    Am I being paranoid, am I seeing things?
    Am I just insecure?

    I want to believe
    It's just you and me
    Sometimes it feels like there's three
    Of us in here baby

    So I, wait for you to call
    And I try to act natural
    Have you been thinking 'bout her about me
    And while I wait
    I put on my Perfume, yeah I want it all over you
    I'm gonna mark my territory

    I'll never tell, tell on myself but I hope she smells my perfume
    I'll never tell, tell on myself but I hope she smells my perfume
    I hide it well, hope you can tell but I hope she smells my perfume
    I hide it well, hope you can tell but I hope she smells my perfume

    I wanna fill the room, when she's in it with you
    Please don't forget me
    Do I imagine it, or catch these moments
    I know you got history

    But I'm your girlfriend, now I'm your girlfriend
    Trying to be cool
    I hope I'm paranoid, that I'm just seeing things
    That I'm just insecure

    I want to believe
    It's just you and me
    Sometimes it feels like there's three
    Of us in here baby

    So I, wait for you to call
    And I try to act natural
    Have you been thinking 'bout her, about me
    And while I wait

    Perfume
  • This ballad was penned by Britney Spears with the Australian singer-songwriter Sia, who has also co-written hits for David Guetta ("Titanium"), Flo Rida ("Wild Ones") and Rihanna ("Diamonds"). Speaking with Alan Carr on his Chatty Man talk show, Britney explained: "It's about a girl that knows her boyfriend is cheating on her. She just wants him to smell her perfume so she can mark her territory on him; it's a really beautiful song."
  • Britney told E! Online about the song. "'Perfume' is incredibly special to me because it hits close to home, and I think the story is relatable to everyone," she said. "Everyone's been through an insecure moment in a relationship that's left them vulnerable and I think this song captures that."
  • The song was co-produced by Black Eyed Peas' leader, Will.i.am and English singer-songwriter Chris Braide. The latter previously worked with Clay Aiken on his US #1 hit "This Is The Night," Christina Aguilera on her Lotus track "Blank Page" and Lana Del Rey on her Born To Die cut, "Millionaire Dollar Man."
  • This song is synthesizer-free and full of emotion. "We wanted to treat her vocal as the main character of the song," said Will.i.am at Britney Jean's listening party.
  • Here's some perfume trivia:

    The earliest form of perfume was incense, which gives off its odor when burned. (The word perfume is derived from the Latin per fumum, meaning "through smoke.")

    The earliest use of perfume bottles is Egyptian and dates to around 1000 BC.

    Perfume was an integral part of Greek society, even though some of the greatest philosophers like Socrates thought them "effeminate". Scents were designed to clear the mind, cure illness, and win true love.

    Chanel No 5 perfume was named because Coco Chanel had rejected the first four fragrances presented to her.

    60 years ago there were just 19 perfumes on sale to the public. Now a new fragrance is launched every three days at an average cost of $40-50 million.

    Two fragrances are included in almost every perfume - the extracts of rose and jasmine flowers.
  • The song's fragrance-heavy music video was directed by Joseph Kahn, who previously directed Spears' clips for "Stronger," "Toxic," and "Womanizer." The storyline has Britney caught in a love triangle and as well as the shots of the singer with her love interest, there is plenty of product placement for her perfume, Fantasy.

    Britney's 'womanizer' beau is played by model Alexander Kjellevik. The Norwegian hunk has starred in campaigns for various designers including Emporio Armani, John Varvatos and Ermanno Scervino.

    The official video is a far cry from Kahn's unseen director's cut, which follows Britney as an assassin who sacrifices herself when her next target turns out to be the man she loves. Kahn told Video Static :

    "It sucks, especially since my director's cut is an entirely different video. The released edit is missing half of the story and all of the editorial structure. It took a lot of serious salvaging of footage to get it to an acceptable place after the concept was gutted. It's like watching people pet a shaved, bald, declawed cat. I don't gain any satisfaction from people liking work I did that's heavily compromised. I need to stand behind the work honestly otherwise I feel like a fraud. I guess people still like the video because of the gritty look which feels different, and the twist of the second girl in the second act. A narrative in two identical parts is still a solid idea even in compromised form. But it's such a faint reflection of the real narrative with broken execution and far less ambition. If they liked the weak version, I'd bet they'd love the strong one. No one knows what they're missing, and they're missing a lot."

    New Millennium Homes
  • This is about capitalism and how it negatively affects the poor working class. Lyrics like "Old south order, new northern horizon" are in reference to large corporations that make you think they have great positive ideals and practices when in actuality they have the same slave owning way of thinking of the old American south. The title New Millennium Homes could be a slightly sarcastic way of saying so called charity is a fraud to make you believe something is being done about the problem of poverty.

    Awake Lyrics


    Awake
  • The Canadian rocker Devin Townsend first cut his chops as lead singer for Steve Vai 's band in 1993. He has since released a series of albums under his own name, with his group Strapping Young Lad, and as Devin Townsend Project. This song comes from the second Devin Townsend Project album. In our interview with Townsend, he told us the story behind it:

    "Awake" was a dream. I often go through periods where songs appear in dreams and scenarios appear in dreams, and I wake up in the middle of the night sort of humming the melody and then recognize it: "Oh, wow, that's something that is new." And if I'm prepared enough and aware enough, I can scramble out of bed and jot it down. A fair amount from my back catalogue that is written in that sense, and "Awake" was one of them. That whole rhythm was from this dream, and I just woke up singing the melody. I mumbled it into my iPhone and emailed it to myself and fell back asleep. When I woke up and listened to the email, I was like, "Oh, that's actually not that bad." So I wrote that one down.

    Lyrically, it was about that period of time where my process was changing from writing like a stoner to writing like a dad. The slant I was trying to go for lyrically was about taking your head out of the smog that it had been in for a certain period of time and recognizing what could potentially be there.

    By Your Command Lyrics


    By Your Command
  • A confluence of science fiction and heavy metal, this track from the Canadian singer/guitarist Devin Townsend runs 8:10, and is often a showstopper at his concerts.

    "By Your Command" is a saying used in the Battlestar Galactica TV series, which ran from 1979-1980. It was often uttered by the bad guys when accepting orders from their evil overlords. Townsend was a big fan of the show, and integrated it into his Ziltoid project, where he creates his own alien character. "There's that sort of outer space thing that seemed to make sense," he told us. "But really it was a reference back to drugs, and that whole record was a reference to drugs in some sense - that you are unconsciously motivated to go in directions that are either contrary to your nature or maybe not the most accurate representation of where your conscious mind is. Sort of being on autopilot or being a channel to things that ultimately are going to cause you difficulty.

    So 'By Your Command' had that as an undercurrent, but on the surface it was the introduction to this ridiculous story that the Ziltoid record actually was." (Here's the full Devin Townsend interview .)
