    This is my favourite track of all time, I had to say...

    This is the end, beautiful friend
    This is the end, my only friend
    The end of our elaborate plans
    The end of everything that stands
    The end

    No safety or surprise
    The end
    I'll never look into your eyes again

    Can you picture what will be
    So limitless and free
    Desperately in need of some stranger's hand
    In a desperate land

    Lost in a Roman wilderness of pain
    And all the children are insane
    All the children are insane
    Waiting for the summer rain
    There's danger on the edge of town
    Ride the King's highway
    Weird scenes inside the gold mine
    Ride the highway West, baby

    Ride the snake
    Ride the snake
    To the lake
    To the lake

    The ancient lake, baby
    The snake is long
    Seven miles
    Ride the snake

    He's old
    And his skin is cold
    The West is the best
    The West is the best
    Get here and we'll do the rest

    The blue bus is calling us
    The blue bus is calling us
    Driver, where are you taking us?

    The killer awoke before dawn
    He put his boots on
    He took a face from the ancient gallery
    And he walked on down the hall

    He went into the room where his sister lived
    And then he paid a visit to his brother
    And then he walked on down the hall
    And he came to a door
    And he looked inside
    Father
    Yes son?
    I want to kill you
    Mother, I want to. . .

    C'mon baby, take a chance with us
    C'mon baby, take a chance with us
    C'mon baby, take a chance with us
    And meet me at the back of the blue bus

    This is the end, beautiful friend
    This is the end, my only friend
    The end

    It hurts to set you free
    But you'll never follow me

    The end of laughter and soft lies
    The end of nights we tried to die

    This is the end

    -- The Doors - "The End"

    I don't think I could love a song about death that much, but to each his own.

    "I wish you were here" By Incubus...goddam that songs sums up the meaning of life quite nicely.

    "Echo" By Incubus...for the guys - Guranteed to get you any girl ....guranteed...well also adding to the fact that you are remotely charming and standable

    I already thought he meant "I want to rape you", that's without him saying it.

    Morrison's poetry is worth a look too, if you can find it.

    It's easier to pick together a "fav mixed album" than just a few songs. These would be given on said album though... At least as of today.

    "Dream Brother" - Jeff Buckley
    "Do the evolution" - Pearl Jam
    "Ænima" - Tool
    "Vancouver" - Jeff Buckley
    "Love of my life" - Eryka Badu
    "Infidelity" - Skunk Anansie
    "Ticks & leeches" - Tool
    "Scratch bass" - Lamb
    "They-say vision" - Res
    "We could be so happy baby" - Jeff Buckley
    "It's on!" - Korn

    I know, it's a great mix...

    3 kids started off being friends to the end . Growing up in a time that turned boys to men. Carlo was the slick one, the little girls liked him. And all the little niggaz in the hood, wanted to fight him. But Carlo, main nigga James wasn't having that. James had boxing game and left niggaz laying flat.

    All of us 12 or 13 at the time. Drinking cheap wine, and smokin' brown bag dimes. I was into writing rhymes, in class at school. Waitin' for the bell to ring so we can go and shoot pool. One day, some up the block niggaz came talking shit. Bragin' on they clique, and how many crews they click with . Tryin' to start some extra clip shit, them niggaz so for real. James so cool to get with fucked his whole grill. Carlo, that slick nigga pulled a 22.
    They got some heat too, what the fuck we gonna do?

    Bust and hit the backdoor, now we in the alleyway. Running, heart pumpin' fast tryin' to see another day. Blessed to escape the mayhem. Time and time again, we escaped the mayhem


    [Talking]

    Yo, whats been goin' on dogg?
    Man, that shit goin' down dogg
    what's goin' down with you?
    I done heard you got rich huh?
    You don't fuck around with us in the hood no more huh?


    You know it's funny how shit changes, right? How life can loosen up a friendship that's so tight. Years after all the horseplay and misdemeanor crimes. Us being homeboys, didn't seem so fine.
    Years of just fuckin' around, rappin' in the neighborhood. Found me with a gold album, tryin' to live my life good. Carlo got popped with 8 keys in a minivan. Somewhere in Texas, doin' about a hundred man. That nigga James, straight cutthroat on them snouts. Robbin' dope boys, gettin' what the fuck he want.
    The game changed, now you gotta play with death. Now I have to ask myself.



    Do you remember your childhood, back when
    You didn't have to have loot, to have friends
    Now it's all about your benjamins, your cash flow
    And if a nigga fuck with that, he better know
    Time changed everything, between us
    And if I see you in the streets, I gotta bust
    You used to be a friend to me, one I could trust
    Now if you see me in the streets, you better bust


    One day, I'm on my way to the studio, ya dig? Pick up a zip of hay, after I drop off my kids. Flippin' through the hood, seen James with his little crew. Blue rags up, in a drop top Malibu.
    Bloodshot eyes, I could smell the herb burnin' , Bumpin' DJ Squeeky, flashin' what the earnin'. He asked about Carlo, well what can I say? I write him when I get a chance, but I pray for him everyday. Lookin' at my ride, tellin' me nigga you comin' up.
    Fuckin' with that rappin' stuff, I guess you just forgot about us.

    Nah cat, it ain't like that
    I gotta eat, that's when James clicked and pulled out his fuckin' heat.I hit the gas, he kept bustin' till the clip was empty. 17 shots, and didn't nothin hot nip me. Quickly, grabbed my shit and opened it up wide. The nigga on the passenger side instantly died. James bailed, I gave chase, fuck the consequence.
    If I let him live, he'll start another incident. 12 years ago, I never thought I'd see the day.

    Shit would ever be this way
