9 Times Music Lied to You

These songs wouldn't pass a polygraph test.

9 Times Music Lied to You
Google

I have this routine every day before I go for a run. It starts off with me doing literally everything I can think of within reason other than running. I take my time, actually I wrote this article before running because I seriously hate running. So while I was tying my shoes at around a snails pace I was listening to music. A few songs that I love started playing and I was kind of getting amped up, not enough to actually get on the treadmill yet, until I started listening to the words, and cracked a smile.

All your favorite musicians are liars.

1. "Ain't No Rest for the Wicked" by Cage the Elephant


Yes there is? This is a tale as old as time. In movies the villain is always caught, but in the real world innocent people die all the time, and the wicked are just chillin'. Cage the Elephant, it's time you write a new song about how much rest the wicked are getting.

2. "If U Seek Amy" by Britney Spears

This song just was not fair. It came out when I was in middle school and knew a total of 0 things about life. I thought that the song was about everyone looking for Amy. I used to ask my mom all the time, Who is Amy. Surprise, Britney Spears is being sneaky. Meanwhile, my 5th grade teachers would cringe every time I sang the song. Good one Brit.

3. "Milkshake" by Kelis


Kelis did not have a bunch of delicious milkshakes that she gave out for free in her backyard. I used to sing this song too, along with anyone who was alive in 2003. Seven year old me used to say that I would never give my milkshakes to boys for free. Despite this still being true, if Mean Girls didn't have the scene with that song in it, I would have never guessed that a milkshake was anything other than a delicious dairy-based frozen product.

4. Gold Digger by Kanye West

Kanye, whyyyyyyy? 10 years ago you said "If you ain't no punk holla we want prenup." So why is it when you marry a women who fits your description of a gold digger to a T, you didn't want a prenup. Kim wanted a prenup. Kanye... are you a punk? You taught me what a gold digger was back then; do I need to teach what a gold digger is now? Keep your word, because if she leaves yo a$$ she gon' leave with half.

5. This is Why I'm Hot by Mims


Mims said that he could make a mil by saying nothing. I am here to remind everyone that Mims is not hot anymore. In fact, he was never really that hot in the first place. He was lukewarm at best. There are rumors that he is somewhere working at a Red Lobster. I guess being hot because you're fly doesn't cut it anymore.

6. "Put On (feat. Kanye West)" by Young Jeezy



This song was so fire when it came out. Young Jeezy was turning young middle class white kids into regular old rappers. Everyone knew that song. The repeated lyric in that song is "I put on for my city." Do you Young Jeezy? Do you? If you look up where he is from it'll say Atlanta, Georgia. Well I am here to inform anyone who reads this that rapper Jay Jenkins is from Macon, Georgia, my hometown. He never repped for this town. So @YoungJeezy, from everyone in Macon: you are a liar.

7. Run the World (Girls) by Beyoncé

Ugh Beyonce I hate to do this. For many reasons, first one being that I love the ever living $#!+ out of this song. But let's be real, who actually controls the world? Men. This is changing, and will continue to change because women are the best and we should be running the world, but when I listen to this and I imagine the wind on my face and some kind of explosion in the background, I lowkey remember that men kind of control the world and it makes me so sad.

8. "Wild Boy (feat. Waka Flaka Flame)" by Machine Gun Kelly

I'll preface by saying that there is nothing wrong with this song. It's just dumb and hilarious, and fun to listen to if you're not trying to listen to something intellectual. I do have a problem with it though. Somewhere in the song MGK says that "crazy white boys" are yelling "Cobain's back." Skrrrrrrrt, no one is yelling that. No one is yelling that Kurt Cobain has been reincarnated in Machine Gun Kelly's body. Kurt probably rolled over in his grave. So with that, this whole song is a lie.

9. "All Eyes on You (feat. Chris Brown and Nicki Minaj)" by Meek Mill

Meek Mill takes another L today as we discuss the fact that Nicki Minaj's eyes are not all on him. Not to make this a shallow argument, but Nicki Minaj is hot AF. She may not be everyone's cup o' tea, but that doesn't stop her from being fabulous. Meek Mill is so irrelevant that it is almost painful. His eyes may be all on her, but her eyes are no where near him.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
