Fuck you all, tool winz. Kanye west can go fuck a fish, fuck his music and fuck rhianna's music too >.> i hate anythign rap hiphop r&b related. also a lot of pop is just utter shit.
tool makes you think. my fav part starts at 4:00
"Listen to the tales and romanticize, How we follow the path of the hero" (self-explanatory...we follow god)
"Boast about the day when the rivers overrun, How we rise to the height of our halo." (when we feel like the world is coming to destruction, we finally begin to pray and suddenly believe in god so we can go to a good place)
"Listen to the tales as we all rationalize Our way into the arms of the savior Fading all the trials and the tribulations" (we throw away our distress by producing a self-satisfying, but incorrect, idea that your savior will be there for you...no matter the sins...)
"None of us have actually been there, Not like you..."
"Ignorant flippants in the congregation Gather around spewing sympathy, Spare me..." (congregation-A group of people gathered for religious worship. flippant-Marked by disrespectful levity or casualness. fable believers)
"None of them can even hold a candle up to you Blinded by choices, hypocrites won't see"
"But enough about the collective Judas Who could deny you were the one who illuminated your little piece of the divine" (judas-One who betrays another under the guise of friendship divine-Being in the service or worship of a deity; sacred)
"This little light of mine it gives your past unto me, I'm gonna let it shine, to guide you safely on your way Your way home..." (his mother's faith is passed on to him...hoping she goes into a place which she believed in)
"Ohh, what are they gonna do when the lights go down without you to guide them all to Zion? What are they gonna do when the rivers overrun other than tremble incessantly" (people think that they know the works...but when something comes up that they wouldn't imagine, they aren't prepared to concieve the weight Zion-A place or religious community regarded as sacredly devoted to God)
"High is the way but our eyes are upon the ground. You are the light and the way They'll only read about I only pray Heaven knows When to lift you out" (we don't look to our god)
"10000 days in the fire is long enough. You're going home..." (27 years is how long Maynards mother was paralyzed, which is 10,000 days...)
"You're the only one who can hold your head up high, Shake your fist at the gates saying, 'I have come home now!'" (his mother deserves to go to heaven)
"Fetch me the spirit, the son and the father, Tell them their pillar of faith has ascended." (his mother)
"'It's time now! My time now! Give me my Give me my wings!'... Give me my (x5) 'Give me my own wings'"
"You are the light, the way, that they will only read about"
"Set as I am in my ways and my arrogance Burden of proof tossed upon non-believers. You were my witness, my eyes, my evidence, Judith Marie, unconditional one."
"Daylight dims leaving cool fluorescence. Difficult to see you in this light."
"Please forgive this bold suggestion: Should you see your maker's face tonight Look him in the eye Look him in the eye and tell him I never lived a lie, never took a life, But surely saved one" (saved Maynard's life through the passage of faith)
"Hallelujah, It's time for you to bring me home."

L0ol Kira, I was gonna say I liked Tool but if you're gonna be that way.
And I don't get why most people's musical taste is uni-dimensional? Why must you love rock and hate rap, why must you hate country and love hip hop? I love everything pretty much (except half of country).

Real rap is poetic, not this fake rap pop like lil Wayne. Take for example:
Coolio from Gangsta's Paradise:
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I take a look at my life and realize there's not much left coz I've been blastin and laughin so long, that even my mama thinks that my mind is gone but I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve it me be treated like a punk you know that's unheard of you better watch how you're talking, and where you're walking or you and your homies might be lined in chalk I really hate to trip but i gotta, loc As I Grow I see myself in the pistol smoke, fool I'm the kinda G the little homies wanna be like on my knees in the night, saying prayers in the streetlight
look at the situation, they got me facin' I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the streets so I gotta be down with the hood team too much television watching got me chasing dreams I'm an educated fool with money on my mind got my 10 in my hand and a gleam in my eye I'm a loc'd out gangsta set trippin' banger and my homies is down so don't arouse my anger, fool death ain't nothing but a heartbeat away, I'm living life, do or die, what can I say I'm 23 now, but will I live to see 24 the way things are going I don't know
Tell me why are we, so blind to see That the one's we hurt, are you and me been spending most their lives, living in the gangsta's paradise been spending most their lives, living in the gangsta's paradise spending most our lives, living in the gangsta's paradise spending most our lives, living in the gangsta's paradise
Power and the money, money and the power minute after minute, hour after hour everybody's running, but half of them ain't looking what's going on in the kitchen, but I don't know what's kickin' they say I gotta learn, but nobody's here to teach me if they can't undersstand it, how can they reach me I guess they can't, I guess they won't I guess they front, that's why I know my life is out of luck, fool
Tell me why are we, so blind to see That the one's we hurt, are you and me Tell me why are we, so blind to see That the one's we hurt, are you and me
OR Left Eye's verse from TLC's Waterfalls...
I seen a rainbow yesterday But too many storms have come Leaving a trace of not one God-given ray Is it because my life is ten shades of grey I pray all ten fade away Seldom praise Him for the sunny days And like His promise is true Only my faith can undo The many chances I blew To bring my life to a new Clear blue and unconditional skies Have dried the tears from my eyes No more lonely cries My only bleedin' hope is for the folk who can't cope With such an endurin' pain that it keeps 'em in the pouring rain Who's to blame for shootin'caine into you're own vein What a shame you shoot and aim for someone else's brain You claim the insane and name this day in time For fallin' prey to crime I say the system got you victim to your own mind Dreams are hopeless aspirations In hopes of comin' true Believe in yourself The rest is up to me and you

Rap: RETARDS ATTEMPTING POETRY
Rap is literally for those who couldn't make it in rock or country so they go to rap cause its the easiest genre to be good at. talk about sex drugs and killing someone.
