Muddy Waters – Let’s spend the night together

Let’s spend the night together (Jagger, Richards)

lyrics

Don’t you worry ’bout what’s on my mind
No, I don’t want you to think about it
I’m in no hurry, I can take my time
And yes, I always take it

I’m going red and my tongue’s gettin’ so tied
You’re tired
I’m off my head and my mouth’s gettin’ so dry
I’m high and I’m tired

Let’s spend the night together, now woman I need you
Oh, woman, I need you more than ever, girl
Let’s spend the night together now

I feel so strong that I can’t describe
No, you know I can’t imagine it
You know I ain’t gonna apologize
No, I ain’t gonna tell you nothin’ about it

Don’t hand me up and don’t you let me down
Down, down
We can have fun, you know
Just moving around somewhere in town

Let’s spend the night together now, woman, somewhere
Let’s spend the night together, oh, won’t you, girl
Let’s spend the night together now

Oh, let’s spend together a night
Girl, oh, I want you now
You know I need you, I need you, let’s spend it
Oh, girl let’s spend a night together one time, woman

I wanna spend a night with you, girl
I need you now
Yeah, let’s spend a night together, woman
We’re gonna spend a night

Don’t you worry ’bout what’s on my mind No, I don’t want you to think about it I’m in no hurry, I can take my time And yes, I always take it
I’m going red and my tongue’s gettin’ so tied You’re tired I’m off my head and my mouth’s gettin’ so dry I’m high and I’m tired
Let’s spend the night together, now woman I need you Oh, woman, I need you more than ever, girl Let’s spend the night together now
I feel so strong that I can’t describe No, you know I can’t imagine it You know I ain’t gonna apologize No, I ain’t gonna tell you nothin’ about it
Don’t hand me up and don’t you let me down Down, down We can have fun, you know Just moving around somewhere in town
Let’s spend the night together now, woman, somewhere Let’s spend the night together, oh, won’t you, girl Let’s spend the night together now
Oh, let’s spend together a night Girl, oh, I want you now You know I need you, I need you, let’s spend it Oh, girl let’s spend a night together one time, woman
I wanna spend a night with you, girl I need you now Yeah, let’s spend a night together, woman We’re gonna spend a night

jackin’ for beats

July 17th, 2011 Comments off

Kill at Will is a seven track EP, released by Ice Cube in 1990. It was released soon after AmeriKKKa’s Most Wanted, and capitalized off Cube’s newfound solo success. The EP quickly shipped Gold in sales, a first for a hip hop EP, and a year later, had sold over a million copies. It featured a remix of “Endangered Species”, featuring a brand new verse from Public Enemy’s Chuck D. Kill at Will is considered by Ice Cube fans to be among his best works, and original vinyl pressings are still highly sought after.

Kill at Will contains two of Ice Cube’s most famous tracks, the rambunctious “Jackin’ for Beats”, and the soulful ode “Dead Homiez”. “Dead Homiez” was Cube’s second solo single/music video. The song deals with the violence, death, and social problems of the inner city ghettos and is essentially a dedication to all those killed through urban violence. The song was praised later on by countless rap artists and critics, and is one of the first hip hop songs to deal with the pain and loss suffered specifically by the families of black men lost to black on black violence.

“Jackin’ for Beats”, likewise, began the popular trend of an MC rapping over the various instrumentals of popular beats, which rotate during the course of one song. The song and its sentiment is an excellent example of plunderphonics.

The EP was remastered and added to the re-release of the AmeriKKKa’s Most Wanted album in 2003.

Jackin’ For Beats – lyrics:

[Intro:]

Wait a minute, hold on, get your ass up
Whassup nigga?
Get over there… shit
Ya lil punk ass nigga
C’mere, c’mere, c’mere boy
God damnit you stop that shit now
Take him to jail and get him the hell from in front of this house
Now wait a minute, wait a minute, hey man
Whassup?
Wait a minute?
There are police, go!

[Verse One:]

Give me that beat fool, it’s a full time jack move
Chilly Chill, yo homie mack the track move
And I’ll jack any Tom, Dick and Hank
That’s the name of the SUCKERS I done ganked
I get away from a copper
Drop a dime, I’ll break you off somethin proper
With the L-E-N-C-H-M-O-B
T-Bone and that’s J.D.
And here’s how we’ll greet ya
Stop fool, come off that beat ya
feel dumb cause you’re caught in the dark
(ya lil nuttin ass mark)
Raise up, cause you cant’ have it back
You said – “I ain’t never got gaffled like that”
Off the end of the gat you choke
Short Dog’s in the house – “Whattup loc?”
Nuttin but a come up
Gimme that bass, and don’t try to run up
Cause you’ll get banked somethin sweet
Ice Cube and the Lench Mob, is jackin for beats

[Verse Two:]

Huh, and even if you’re down with my crew
(Yo Chuck man, i dodn’t understand this man
You got to slow down)
I jack them too
And then we’ll freak it
Kick that bass, and look what we did
Fade the grade, played, and made a few mil
and I keep stealin
Ice Cube’ll make it funky
But right about now – *let’s get up in the hump*
But I don’t party and shake my butt
I leave that to the brothers with the funny haircurs
And it’ll drive you nuts
Steal your beat, and give it that gangsta touch
Like jackin at night
Say hi to the three fifty-seven I’m packin
And it sounds so sweet
Ice Cube and the Lench Mob, is jackin for beats

[Verse Three:]

Ice Cube, will take a funky beat and reshape it
Locate a dope break, and then I break it
And give it that gangsta lean
Dead in your face as I turn up the bass
I make punk suckers run and duck because
I don’t try to hide cause you know that I love to
jack a fool for his beat and then I’m Audi
So when I come to your town don’t crowd me
Cause I know, you’re gonna wanna kick it with me
But I know, none of y’all can get with me
So you think you’re protected
Well you are til you put a funky beat on a record
Then I have to show and prove and use your groove
Cause suckers can’t fade the Cube
And if I jack you and you keep comin
I’ll have you marks a 100 Miles and Running!

(stop stop stop stop stop!
sa-prize, niggaz)

living in America

James Brown “Living In America” (7″ – 45 rpm)

lyrics:

Ow! Knock me out!
Super highways, coast to coast, easy to get anywhere
On the transcontinental overload, just slide behind the wheel
How does it feel
When there’s no destination – that’s too far
And somewhere on the way, you might find out who you are
Chorus:
Living in America – eye to eye, station to station
Living in America – hand to hand, across the nation
Living in America – got to have a celebration
Rock my soul
Smokestack, fatback, many miles of railroad track
All night radio, keep on runnin’ through your rock ‘n’ roll soul
All night diners keep you awake, hey, on black coffee and a hard roll
You might have to walk the fine line, you might take the hard line
But everybody’s working overtime
(chorus)
I live in America, help me out, but I live in America, wait a minute
You might not be looking for the promised land, but you might find it anyway
Under one of those old familiar names
Like New Orleans (New Orleans), Detroit City (Detroit City),
Dallas (Dallas) Pittsburg P.A. (Pittsburg P.A.), New York City (New York City)
Kansas City (Kansas City), Atlanta (Atlanta), Chicago and L.A.
Living in America – hit me – living in America – yeah, I walk in and out
Living in America
I live in America – state lines, gonna make the prime, that
I live in America – hey, I know what it means, I
Living in America – hit me, I said now, eye to eye, station to station
Living in America – so nice, with your bad self
Living in America – I feel good!
