Kris Kross

(Jump, jump)
You should know, you should know that, ah
Kris Kross is not having anything today
As we stand there totally crossed out
We commence to make you (jump, jump)
The Mac Dad'll make you (jump, jump)
Daddy Mac'll make you (jump, jump)
Kris Kross'll make you (jump, jump)

Don't try to compare us (yeah) to another bad little fad
I'm the Mac and I'm bad, give you something that you never had
I'll make you bump bump, wiggle and shake your rump
'Cause I be kicking the flavor that makes you wanna jump
How high? Real high, 'cause I'm just so fly
A young lovable, hugable type of guy
And everything is to the back with a little slack
'Cause inside out is wiggida, wiggida, wiggida wack
I come stompin' with somethin' pumpin' to keep you jumpin'
R&B, rappin' bull crap is what I'm dumpin'
Ain't nothin' sucker 'bout Kris Kross, we all that
So when they ask, "Do they rock?" Say, "Believe that"

(Jump, jump)
The Mac Dad'll make you (jump, jump)
Daddy Mac'll make you (jump, jump)
Kris Kross'll make you (jump, jump)
Uh huh, uh huh
(Jump, jump)
The Mac Dad'll make you (jump, jump)
Daddy Mac'll make you (jump, jump)
Kris Kross'll make you (jump, jump)

I like my stuff knockin' (knockin')
I love it when a girlies be like jockin' (jockin')
The D-A-double D-Y-M-A-C
Yeah, you know me
I got you jumpin' and bumpin' and pumpin', movin' all around, G
In the mix, I made MC's step back
They try to step to the Mac then they got jacked
To the back you'll be sportin' the gear, is that coincidental?
Act like you know it, don't be claiming that it's mental
Two lil' kids with a flow you ain't ever heard
And nothin' fake, you can understand every word (word, hahaha)
As you listen to my cool, smooth melody
The Daddy makes you J-U-M-P

(Jump, jump)
The Mac Dad'll make you (jump, jump)
Daddy Mac'll make you (jump, jump)
Kris Kross'll make you (jump, jump)
Uh huh, uh huh
(Jump, jump)
The Mac Dad'll make you (jump, jump)
Daddy Mac'll make you (jump, jump)
Kris Kross'll make you (jump, jump)

Now, the formalities of this and that
Is that Kris Kross ain't comin' off wack
And for all y'all suckers that don't know
Check it out

Some of them try to rhyme but they can't rhyme like this (bo, bo)
Some of them try to rhyme but they can't rhyme like this (bo, bo)
Some of them try to rhyme but they can't rhyme like this (go go)
Some of them try to rhyme but they can't (bo, bo)
'Cause I'm the miggida, miggida, miggida, miggida Mac Daddy (bo, bo)
The miggida, miggida, miggida, miggida Mac (bo, bo)
'Cause I'm the miggida, miggida, miggida, miggida Mac Daddy (bo, bo)
The miggida, miggida, miggida, miggida Mac (bo, bo)
I make you wanna

(Jump, jump)
The Mac Dad'll make you (jump, jump)
Daddy Mac'll make you (jump, jump)
Kris Kross'll make you (jump, jump)
Uh huh, uh huh
(Jump, jump)
The Mac Dad'll make you (jump, jump)
Daddy Mac'll make you (jump, jump)
Kris Kross'll make you (jump, jump)
Uh huh, uh huh
(Jump, jump)
The Mac Dad'll make you (jump, jump)
Daddy Mac'll make you (jump, jump)
Kris Kross'll make you (jump, jump)
Uh huh, uh huh
(Jump, jump)
The Mac Dad'll make you (jump, jump)
Daddy Mac'll make you (jump, jump)
Kris Kross'll make you (jump, jump)

    Last time they were mentioned, they were ushers at the grammy's or some shit. They seem to have dropped from fame.

    Dope song btw, the whole semi gangsta thing comes off all right for some reason.

    peace

    totally krossed out is still an amazing album. jump was crap compared to the way of rhyme. the beat mixed with the flow is just spectacular, especially for some little kids.

    My Interpretation

    FROM A SPIRITUAL PERSPECTIVE: 1st Pharagraph:

    Jump jump - In adoration

    You should know, you should know that ah - you should know that...

    Kris Kross is not having anything today - If you walk in Christ, all flesh are worthless, meaning if you walk in Spirit no gold, no silver has value compared.

    As we stand there totally krossed out - if you erase all your sinner or past life then...

    We commence to make you - ...you born again.

The way this song speaks to me🥺🥺when I sing it I feel like I relate

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
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."
