High life
[Hook]
My nigga, I’m a beast!
I can go thirty days and nights with no sleep
Like the mice in the streets
The only meal that I see every day is my cheese
I don’t think you can keep up
Keep up, hey, keep up, hey!
I don’t think you can keep up
Keep up, hey, keep up, hey!
I don’t think you can keep up!
[Verse 1]
Cause when I’m riding in your lane, getting it poppin simple and plain
Konvict model, no pain no gain
Everybody blowing up like they done drank propane
I slide through the hood, the game unchanged
My niggas on the corner still selling cocaine
Now I ain’t even tripping you should do the same thing
Til I got the opportunity to make some more change
I’m watching all these haters getting close to my fame
Only if they know what it takes to maintain
If you live by the bar then we raised it
I was built to do this thing daily
[Hook]
[Verse 2]
Used to hang out on the curb
Now I’m living lavish in the 'burbs
Women used to never pay attention when I flirt
Now they see me out in public, steady ripping up my shirt
It’s funny how the tables turn and out there
No longer sitting in the coupe handing out birds
Collecting all this money from different parts of the world
Flown up out of this loop, gotta see me first
Cause I sacrificed it all to be me
You ain’t got enough what it takes to beat me
Conditioned by the slums and raised by the streets
I've killed for this life it takes another soldier
[Hook]
Because in my field, only the strong will survive, yeah
And if you’re as hard as steel, then you and I will collide, yeah
We gon' rush at each other like two rams fighting in the grass land, yeah!
And i’ma be the last man standing!
[Hook]
My nigga I'm a beast (x3)
My nigga, I’m a beast!
I can go thirty days and nights with no sleep
Like the mice in the streets
The only meal that I see every day is my cheese
I don’t think you can keep up
Keep up, hey, keep up, hey!
I don’t think you can keep up
Keep up, hey, keep up, hey!
I don’t think you can keep up!

Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Mountain Song

Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
