"The Message" - Message

Classic song, but some lyrics are wrong.

Props for typing the entire thing, though

said she danced the tango, skip the light fandango was zircon princess, seemed to lost her senses, down at the peep show watchin all the creeps, so she could tell the stories to the girls back home, she went to the city and got social security . . .

the places you play and where you stay, looks like one great big alleyway
you'll admire all the number-book takers, thugs pimps and pushers and the big money makers

Paid in Full

Classic Eric B and Rakim song, from their 1986 debut album of the same name. Includes the legendary Paid in Full, Move the Crowd, and My Melody.

Thinkin' of a master plan, cause ain't nothin but sweat inside my hand, so I dig into my pocket all my money is spent so I dig deeper, but still comin' up with lint, so I start my mission leave my residence, thinkin' how could i get some dead presidents

impudent

"Impudent" means rude; it often refers to rude behavior of a young person toward an older one or an authority figure, in particular.

A layman child or teen arguing business with an adult professional is often considered to be impudent.

leninism

The belief of the elimination of the social class system, stemming from the writings of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. This system revolutionized Russia in the early 1900's, making the country a world power in years to come. The policies Lenin created would have most likely carried the Soviet Union into the 20th century if not for Stalin's exile of Leon Trotsky, Lenin's understudy and obvious choice of successor. However due to Stalin's shift from communism to a totalitarian regime, the country collapsed in the early 1990's due to economic, social, and political pressure.

The true test that Lenin's thoeries, ideas, and Leninism itself would have worked if not for Stalin can be seen in present day China. The most rapidly growing country in the world, both economicly and population wise. China being a socailist country, will exceed America as the most powerful country in the world in the coming years fiscally and militarily.

straight edge

A philosophy originated in the early 80's in the US punk rock community which defines a punk who does not use drugs (either legal or illegal). The name came from a song from the band Minor Threat that briefly described what was understood as the straight edge way of life. In the early 90's "straight edge" started to be viewed as vegetarian, contrary to promiscuous sex and even religious which is not true despite the attitude of certain groups inside the community who can be held responsible for such image.

A:I am a straight edge / I am a straight edger

B:What does that say about you?

A: It means I am a member of the punk rock community who does not use drugs and choose to define myself as a straight edge

B: Is it true that you guys are all vegetarian, avoid promiscuous sex andhave connections with christian and hindu religions?

A: I think most straight edgers are either vegan or vegetarian but I have not met many who would avoid sex for moral reasons and many of us are atheists.
