I must say.. I haven't heard new shit aside from what I hear on the radio in over a year.

 

I must say though... every single I've heard by TI, including rubberband man, is a fucking banger

 

 

I'm listening to his new album right now, King. It's good, probably his best since his first album. I'd say a tie at the least. I can upload it if you want it.

Early one mornin' the sun was shinin',

I was layin' in bed

 

Wond'rin' if she'd changed at all

If her hair was still red.

 

 

Her folks they said our lives together

Sure was gonna be rough

 

They never did like Mama's homemade dress

Papa's bankbook wasn't big enough.

 

 

And I was standin' on the side of the road

Rain fallin' on my shoes

 

Heading out for the East Coast

Lord knows I've paid some dues gettin' through,

 

Tangled up in blue.

 

 

 

She was married when we first met

Soon to be divorced

 

I helped her out of a jam, I guess,

But I used a little too much force.

 

 

We drove that car as far as we could

Abandoned it out West

 

Split up on a dark sad night

Both agreeing it was best.

 

 

She turned around to look at me

As I was walkin' away

 

I heard her say over my shoulder,

"We'll meet again someday..

on the avenue,"

 

Tangled up in blue.

 

 

 

I had a job in the great north woods

Working as a cook for a spell

 

But I never did like it all that much

And one day the ax just fell.

 

 

So I drifted down to New Orleans

Where I happened to be employed

 

Workin' for a while on a fishin' boat

Right outside of Delacroix.

 

 

But all the while I was alone

The past was close behind,

 

I seen a lot of women

But she never escaped my mind

and I just grew

 

Tangled up in blue.

 

 

 

She was workin' in a topless place

And I stopped in for a beer,

 

I just kept lookin' at the side of her face

In the spotlight so clear.

 

And later on as the crowd thinned out

I's just about to do the same,

 

 

She was standing there in back of my chair

Said to me, "Don't I know your name?"

 

I muttered somethin' underneath my breath,

She studied the lines on my face.

 

I must admit I felt a little uneasy

When she bent down to tie the lace

of my shoe,

 

Tangled up in blue.

 

 

She lit a burner on the stove

and offered me a pipe

 

"I thought you'd never say hello," she said

"You look like the silent type."

 

 

Then she opened up a book of poems

And handed it to me

 

Written by an Italian poet

From the thirteenth century.

 

 

And every one of them words rang true

And glowed like burnin' coal

 

Pourin' off of every page

Like it was written in my soul

from me to you,

 

Tangled up in blue.

 

 

I lived with them on Montague Street

In a basement down the stairs,

 

There was music in the cafes at night

And revolution in the air.

 

 

Then he started into dealing with slaves

And something inside of him died.

 

She had to sell everything she owned

And froze up inside.

 

And when finally the bottom fell out

I became withdrawn,

 

The only thing I knew how to do

Was to keep on keepin' on

like a bird that flew,

 

Tangled up in blue.

 

 

So now I'm goin' back again,

I got to get to her somehow.

 

All the people we used to know

They're an illusion to me now.

 

 

Some are mathematicians

Some are carpenter's wives.

 

Don't know how it all got started,

I don't know what they're doin' with their lives.

 

 

But me, I'm still on the road

Headin' for another joint

 

We always did feel the same,

We just saw it from a different point

of view,

Tangled up in blue.

Bump "Wish You Were Here"

Bodhisattva Vow-

Beastie Boys

As I Develop The Awakening Mind

I Praise The Buddha As They Shine

 

I Bow Before You As I Travel My Path

To Join Your Ranks, I Make it My Full Time Task

 

For The Sake Of All Beings

I Seek

The Enlighted Mind

That I Know I'll Reap

 

Respect To Shantideva And All The Others

Who Brought Down The Dharma For Sisters And Brothers

 

I Give Thanks For This World As A Place To Learn

And For This Human Body That I Know I've Earned

 

And My Deepest Thanks To All Sentient Beings

For Without Them There Would Be No Place To Learn What I'm Seeing

 

There's Nothing Here That's Not Been Said Before

But I Put It Down Now So I'll Be Sure

 

To Solidify My Own Views

And I'll Be Glad If It HelpsAnyone Else Out Too

 

 

If Others Disrespect Me Or Give Me Flack

I'll Stop And Think Before I React

 

Knowing That They're Going Through Insecure Stages

I'll Take The Opportunity To Exercise Patience

 

I'll See It As A Chance To Help The Other Person

Nip It In The Bud Before It Can Worsen

 

A Change For Me To Be Strong And Sure

As I Think On The Buddhas Who Have Come Before

 

As I Praise And Respect The Good They've Done

Knowing Only Love Can Conquer In Every Situation

 

We Need Other People In Order To Create

The Circumstances For The Learning That We're Here To Generate

 

Situations That Bring Up Our Deepest Fears

So We Can Work To Release Them Until They're Cleared

 

Therefore, It Only Makes Sense

To Thank Our Enemies Despite Their Intent

 

 

 

The Bodhisattva Path Is One Of Power And Strength

A Strength From Within To Go The Length

 

Seeing Others Are As Important As Myself

I Strive For the Happiness Of Mental Wealth

 

With The Interconnectedness That We Share As One

Every Action That We Take Affects Everyone

 

So In Deciding For What A Situation Calls

There Is A Path For The Good For All

 

I Try To Make My Every Action For That Highest Good

With The Altruistic Wish To Achive Buddhahood

 

So I Pledge Here Before Everyone Who's Listening

To Try To Make My Every Action For The Good Of All Beings

 

For The Rest Of My Lifetimes And Even Beyond

I Vow To Do My Best To Do No Harm

 

And In Times Of Doubt I Can Think On The Dharma

And The Enlightened Ones Who've Graduated Samsara...
