We saw you every day with your hands on your crotch and so much to say
You went from bouncing toy cars with golden motors to neon striped
BMWs and a court of drugged up nodders and quoters
Namefucking fame on all photos, all cheered on and applauded by even richer promoters
Now when you're a star,
When you've reached this far and the world really knows who you are (really?)
You show off your six black Mercedeses
And drink Cristal like they all do
And the poor outside your gates appall you, and the only hood you see is the one on your car
Do you even know who you are?
Bro I don't think so
I mean Mercedes, man what a stiff old dull fart's republican shit car
Sick of hearing you preach to the poor like before,
Only now you're a coward, only letting TV through your door
Getting older, take a bow and just go
The rage on the stage getting colder like your hits on the chart,
But then the talk shows can still get you hard
Doin' rhymes on your prime time fistfights
And spittin' grime in the limelight like a star gets a chip off your shoulder,
A boulder that rolls and rolls over and over and over

There's nothing like a broken childhood
There's nothing like a broken home
There's nothing like a tale from your hood
There's nothing like a record of restriction orders
Outspoken borderline disorders, a violent long way to the top
The longer that you fought yourself up, the longer the spitfall

You're so fucking lost that with all of the costs
You still don't see that in reality the one thing you fail to buy yourself is a personality
You're trapped in a mould of the rap, you sell but you're sold
I mean, can't believe that you're paying all that gold
To some home decorator that hands you buckets of conformity
Seems you're losing your way together with your policy man,
Ending up with a new definition of poverty, it's a joke
Like those you make in every video to reach the kids with the dough,
With every copied "aha yo" and worn out "bro"
Guess what we need is yet another clown
Who can feed our breed with another look and hooker hook
Now when "bitch" is mundane you take the lead with "wassup ho"
And let TV blur your mouth once more
Just what we need in every store, thus quote the craving: "forever more!"
You're so right, a shiny knight on a white steed, truly a hero
Yeah right
Fuck you, fuck you right down to the core
You know what? You're just another Parental Advisory bore

There's nothing like a broken childhood
There's nothing like a broken home
There's nothing like a tale from your hood
There's nothing like a record of restriction orders
Outspoken borderline disorders, a violent long way to the top
The longer that you fought yourself up, the longer the spitfall...
When you're rappin' your shit y'all

Yo, I guess when you're that loaded
You'd better empty the barrel every chance you get, is that so?
Empty your word and pose magazine, in magazine after magazine,
Let every shot go, let the shit flow
'Cause the show must go on and on and on, you're it bro
But it's sad to know, when your star implodes,
All that shit hits the fans, just like your words back when you shone
But it's getting late in the game, trapped in repeating your name,
Again and again, like you're scared we'll forget it
Can't blame you, apart from that name you're all embarrassingly the same,
It's so lame, can't you get it?
And perhaps you are right in that fear,
More sane than you appear in your self deploring cock obsessive koks delirium
But I say, to me you just redefine the old romans' vomatorium

There's nothing like a broken childhood
There's nothing like a broken home
There's nothing like a tale from your hood
There's nothing like a record of restriction orders
Outspoken borderline disorders, a violent long way to the top
The longer that you claim that you have fought yourself up, the longer the spitfall

You're a man of the masses, took all the classes
Their asses are yours
All those bores who are paying the bills for your palace uphills
And your pills that will help you proceed in your greed
You are free of the chains that you need on your fans to adore,
To kneel down before you, more precious to you than your brains and your hands
They live for you
If you could just see this old tree, this patriarchic hierarchy,
Up where you want to be, you need miles of roots to lick your boots
Don't you see?
You're a man of the masses, you need all those asses,
Their fate to relate to the one that you were
Do you know who you are? Who are you? Not the one in your words that they buy
They concur that you conquer, though a natural flunker,
And you need them to stay, not to fly, to obey like the dogs
That they are, the cogs under the hood of your Mercedes car
They will pay for your trip to the stiff upper lip
You're a man of the masses, your trip is a journey through classes
You are high, they are low, and you need it to be so
See, without them you'd be nothing more than before, and you know that's not much
It's just or unjust such: just a sad little man with his hand on his crotch

There's nothing like a broken childhood
There's nothing like a broken home
There's nothing like a tale from your hood
There's nothing like a record of restriction orders
Outspoken borderline disorders, a violent long way to the top
The longer that you fought yourself up, the longer the spitfall
The longer the spit falls
When you're rappin' your shit y'all

You're just another Parental Advisory sticker surfing beach boy
Yo

    The intent of this song is blatently obvious. Pain of salvation makes their observations and critique on rap culture, the inherent hypocricy, egotist, and bullshit. A good song taking a look at what a lot of corporate rap artist culture and negatives.

    Thus quote the craving "forever more!" .. Sounds much alike Edgar Allan Poe's "the raven", and the line Quoth the raven "Nevermore." .. Might seem to be a complicated connecion, but still..

    As you guys said, this song is pretty obvious, but it's done in a great way. Most basically, I love the irony: The song IS a rap song, and it's about the rap and hip-hop scene. So they wrote a rap song 100 times better to show how bullshit it is.

    I'm interested in what they mean by "Redefining Vomitorium" (its spelled wrong in the lyrics). A vomitorium is a crowd exitway in a Roman amphitheater, but it's obviously used symbolically here... Like, how hip hop artists just come in and out of the mainstream?

    Woah... ricbass78... Check your facts...

    1. A vomitorium is the place where the Romans went when their stomach was full. There a handsome male eunuch, most often of African origin used a feather from a peacock's tail, tickling their soft palate to make them vomit, so they could go back to the party and eat even more. It is the symbol of the corruption and hedonism of the late Roman Empire. Here it is used as a way to mock the hedonistic lifestyle of most so-called artists, not only hip-hop MCs.

    2. You may have your own opinion, but this song is most definitely NOT a hundred times better than a rap(really... a rap song... what a silly idea... you don't sing rap. It's a rhythmical declamation, not singing). If you knew anything about rap and hip-hop, you wouldn't be so fast to judge them. I agree. It is a good diss, or if you don't know what that is... a roast. It is however unspecific. The dissing party, here PoS, doesn't say who they're attacking, so there's no need to fight back. Guess, after a deeper look, there may be a hint of attacking Eminem, but I'm not sure about that.

    I'm not dissing (disrespecting) Daniel. I like PoS, and he does have a good rap flow. Plus, he has some skills with wordplay (personal favorite - shit hits the fans).

    And finally:

    1. Irony - a statement in which the meaning that a speaker employs is sharply different from the meaning that is ostensibly expressed. The ironic statement usually involves the explicit expression of one attitude or evaluation, but with indications in the overall speech-situation that the speaker intends a very different, and often opposite, attitude or evaluation.

    Or, to dumb it down a few notches, cause it looks like you need that, irony is when you mean one thing, but you say something completely different, sometimes opposite to what you really mean, showing your real meaning only through how you say it.

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
