To start off with, I'm just going to post one song. Its one of my most favourite songs. Im goin to stick with my favourite genre, hip hop. Even if you come into this thread not a fan of hip hop. I ask yous to just listen to this song. Even if you are not to good at keeping up with the rappers, I'll post the lyrics. You can feel the pain in this. I think its one of the greatest of all time.

I wanna see people post the songs that the first time they listened to the song, them just stopping and they feel all these thoughts flood through your mind. Post as many as you feel. Describe what exactly it is you feel.

Here is mine anyways with lyrics:

TLC's Unpretty

Wow, I was a young whipper snapper when I first heard this song. I was going through a ton of self-doubt and insecurities during my High School years so when I heard this play on the radio, I was like wow...then :cry:.
This song gave me a big boost, and nowadays, along with maturity, I'm a totally different person.
 
I'll go with a song about the system from Bob Marley:

We refuse to be
What you wanted us to be;
We are what we are:
That's the way (way) it's going to be. You don't know!
You can't educate I
For no equal opportunity:
(Talkin' 'bout my freedom) Talkin' 'bout my freedom,
People freedom (freedom) and liberty!
Yeah, we've been trodding on the winepress much too long:
Rebel, rebel!
Yes, we've been trodding on the winepress much too long:
Rebel, rebel!

Babylon system is the vampire, yea! (vampire)
Suckin' the children day by day, yeah!
Me say: de Babylon system is the vampire, falling empire,
Suckin' the blood of the sufferers, yea-ea-ea-ea-e-ah!
Building church and university, wo-o-ooh, yeah! -
Deceiving the people continually, yea-ea!
Me say them graduatin' thieves and murderers;
Look out now: they suckin' the blood of the sufferers (sufferers).
Yea-ea-ea! (sufferers)

Tell the children the truth;
Tell the children the truth;
Tell the children the truth right now!
Come on and tell the children the truth;
Tell the children the truth;
Tell the children the truth;
Tell the children the truth;
Come on and tell the children the truth.

'Cause - 'cause we've been trodding on ya winepress much too long:
Rebel, rebel!
And we've been taken for granted much too long:
Rebel, rebel now!

(Trodding on the winepress) Trodding on the winepress (rebel):
got to rebel, y'all (rebel)!
We've been trodding on the winepress much too long - ye-e-ah! (rebel)
Yea-e-ah! (rebel) Yeah! Yeah!

From the very day we left the shores (trodding on the winepress)
Of our Father's land (rebel),
We've been trampled on (rebel),
Oh now! (we've been oppressed, yeah!) Lord, Lord, go to ...

Now we know everything we got to rebel
Somebody got to pay for the work
We've done, rebel.

Shame many people remember Bob as a weed-smoking rasta, he is a great songwriter with a important message.
