Everlast has quit the rap group "House of Pain" and created a new CD. A combination of rap, rock, blues, and even gospel the cuts on this label tell of struggle and circumstance. Look out Wu Tang, step aside Public Enemy, whitey's here!
My favourite song from this collection is "What It's Like"
Everlast has released a song on soundtrack of the "End of Days" movie, and every time I hear it, I think of the masacre at Columbine. Coulda been their anthem! Makes one think...Hear the movie soundtrack
Anyway, here's the words to "What it's Like"
What It's Like
We've all seen the man at the liquor store beggin' for your change
The hair on his face is dirty, dreadlocked and full of mange
He ask the man for what he could spare with shame in his eyes
Get a job you fuckin' slob's all he replied
CHORUS
God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in his shoes
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to sing the blues
Then you really might know what it's like (X4)
Mary got pregnant from a kid named Tom who said he was in love
He said don't worry about a thing baby doll I'm the man you've been dreamin' of
But three months later he said he won't date her or return her call
And she sweared god damn if I find that man I'm cuttin' off his balls
And then she heads for the clinic and she gets some static walkin' through the doors
They call her a killer, and they call her a sinner, and they call her a whore
CHORUS
God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in her shoes
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to choose
Then you really might know what it's like (X4)
I've seen a rich man beg
I've seen a good man sin
I've seen a tough man cry
I've seen a loser win
And a sad man grin
I heard an honest man lie
I've seen the good side of bad
And the down side of up
And everything between
I licked the silver spoon
Drank from the golden cup
Smoked the finest green
I stroked daddies dimes at least a couple of times
Before I broke there heart
You know where it ends
Though it usually depends on where you start
I knew this kid named Max
He used to get fat stacks out on the corner with drugs
He liked to hang out late at night
Liked to get shit faced
And keep pace with thugs
Until late one night there was a big gun fight
Max lost his head
He pulled out his chrome .45
Talked some shit
And wound up dead
Now his wife and his kids are caught in the midst of all of his pain
You know it comes that way
At least that's what they say when you play the game
CHORUS
God forbid you ever had to wake up to hear the news
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to lose
Then you really might know what it's like (X4)
To have to lose...
A bit about MixerT - Some of my favorite things:
* Pumping iron while waiting for files to download. I been thinkin of getting a warmer plate to put the weights on, so when I pick em up, they don't get my hands cold... anyone else have that thought?? Perhaps if I was in a sunny room, placing them in the sun would be an option... but I'm down in a basement dungeon.
* Listing to Everlast on RealPlayer while not doing work.
