1) S.T.S. is an Austrian band-trio that was founded in 1978 by Gert Steinbäcker, Günter Timischl and Schiffkowitz (also known as Helmut Röhrling ). All three musicians were born in Styria (a state/ Bundesland of Austria). This not only influenced the lyrics of a lot of songs, they also sing their songs in Styrian dialect. All three play acoustic guitar and they sing their refrains in three voices, while the solo-part of the song is, except of some songs, sung alone by the composer of the song. It is believed that the band "Crosby, Stills and Nash" was an important role model for S.T.S. Till now S.T.S. received 13x gold, 8x platin, 2x double-platin and 1x quadruple-platin for their productions. They gained a big part of their popularity and famousness due to the loyalty to their own musical style and their love & passion for live-performances. One of their most famous songs are beneath of „Fürstenfeld“ and „Da kummt die Sunn“: „Großvater“, „Gö, Du bleibst heut Nacht bei mir“, „Wunder meiner Seligkeit“, „Überdosis G'fühl“ and „Irgendwann bleib i dann dort“.
The early years:
All three musicians went separate ways till 1975 and played in several different Styrian and German bands till they first came together to a trio. Gert Steinbäcker and Schiffkowitz sometimes played together before in a loose formation. Later Günter Timischl joined them. A first and short performance was held at the „Forum Stadtpark“ in Graz (the capital of Styria). „Forum Stadtpark“ was a small event at which mainly poets were invited. Shortly after this, they held their first „real“ performance as a band on the 4th of December 1975. Although the band got regional popular, the split up after their alleged last concert in April 1976. However, after challenging years for every member of the band, they came again together in 1978 and finally founded the band S.T.S.
2) STS formerly Sugar Tongue Slim is a keen and clever wordsmith, Atlanta native Sugar Tongue Slim migrated to Philadelphia in 2000 where he infiltrated the underground scene, embracing the concrete urban culture. Dominating across the board from poetry slams to Hip-Hop ciphers, STS emerged with a hypnotic hybrid of southern spiel and northern street say-so. It was just this infectious combination that landed STS the job of co-writing Ciara's 2005 smash hit, "Oh"with renowned producers Andre Harris and Vidale Davis featuring vocals from Ludacris. No novice to the music industry, Slim has collaborated with several established producers including DJ Jazzy Jeff, Ivan Barias, Carvin Haggins, and Kwame. Slim’s buzz worthy catalogue includes collaborations with Charlie Baltimore, Lloyd, Nas, and Mario. He has written for and worked with the likes of Jill Scott, Eve, and Beanie Sigel, just to name a few.
Backed by in-house production machine G.O.L.D. (Gentlemen of Leisure and Development), STS shows no constraints to taboos and exhibits no allegiance to norms. His lyrical wizardry speaks to a variety of topics not excluding social, economic, and political elements. In the frenetically focused "Hustle", Slim declares: "I don't wanna talk unless we talkin' poilitics, dead presidents, or Bush's impeachment/I'm in a jeep tryna fight my own war/We got third world neighborhoods that need some resource." Not sacrificing style for intellectual depth, STS delivers vivid storytelling on "F.A.B.", a raw tale of a calculating woman and edgy party heat over urban bangers like "Look Out Weekend."
Sugar Tongue Slim is a versatile and dynamic lyricist with lightning quick comedic timing who holds a mirror up to the rap game in jest as an honest caricature, but whose mastery and flow places him at the fore of Hip-Hop with the most serious of emcees. His "city slick tongue mixin' with the country grammar" is a fundamental element of the evolution of Hip-Hop. STS is certain to have mass appeal.
3) STS could also refer to the Dutch band Stokken Toetsen Snaren
4) A fourth STS is a solo project from William Rehn of Detroit, Michigan, currently based in Los Angeles California. Solo is a loose reference as Rehn (rain) is accompanied by 15 other musicians on the 2003 release SHOOTING THE SUN.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And vision the most beautiful place in the world
If you in the hood on the ghetto street corner
Come on this journey
The best journey
This is my journey
I wanna walk it lonely
I wanna do it my way
Not with the bitches
They trynna wash the dirty dishes
They trynna wish the dirty wishes
They trynna fix my dirty stitches
I ain't feel you
I guess that's the issue
Are you looking for the tissue?
I ain't gonna miss you, nah, nah
In 10 years full of tears, full of enemies
Ain't no medicine
I ain't gonna miss you, nah, nah
This shit ain't gonna get over me
I'm gonna get get over it, I'm gonna get get over it
This shit ain't gonna get over me
I'm gonna get get over it, I'm gonna get get over it
Life's passing
That shits too good for me to live without it
Life after death ain't whats bothering me, I even doubt it
Tho every time before I go to sleep
I'm having a conversation with god
Give me that shit I'll sell my soul
I want it real bad
Tho it don't get me sinning
My eyes seeing from space
I don't give a fuck if you like or hate
Good and bad, ain't for me
I'm only great
Make America great again
I ain't sitting on billions
But I'm like Trump - reaching over towers
Go this motherfucking dirt, raising flowers
So hot making this rock into diamonds
I ain't Tyga - I'm better than lions
Making rappers cry, I get the triumph
Haven't heard of me yet
But I'm already fucking with hoes you don't get
Yeah hoes you don't get
These rappers be stealing money
Hooked up on coke everytime they get on the stage now ain't that funny?
This shit ain't gonna get over me
I'm gonna get get over it, I'm gonna get get over it
This shit ain't gonna get over me
I'm gonna get get over it, I'm gonna get get over it
I want you to close your eyes
And vision the most beautiful place in the world
If you in the hood on the ghetto street corner
Come on this journey
The best journey
In the lyrics of STS's song "420," the artist invites the listener on a reflective journey to envision the most beautiful place in the world, regardless of their current surroundings, whether it be in the hood or on a ghetto street corner. This journey is personal and introspective, emphasizing the importance of walking one's own path, free from the distractions and negativity of others. The artist expresses a desire to venture on this journey alone, with only their true friends, rejecting the superficiality and drama that come from certain individuals ("bitches") trying to interfere with their personal growth and healing.
As the lyrics progress, the artist acknowledges the challenges and pain they have faced over the years, filled with tears and enemies. Despite this, they maintain a sense of resilience and determination to overcome these obstacles, emphasizing their commitment to moving forward and not allowing the past to define them. The reference to not missing someone suggests a sense of detachment and self-preservation, refusing to dwell on toxic relationships or experiences that no longer serve them. This theme of strength and self-assurance is echoed in the repetition of the mantra "I'm gonna get over it," highlighting a mindset of perseverance and empowerment in the face of adversity.
The artist delves into deeper introspection regarding their relationship with spirituality and higher powers, expressing a willingness to make sacrifices for their desires and aspirations. There is a hint of desperation in the desire for something they want "real bad," yet they grapple with conflicting emotions about the consequences of their actions. The mention of having conversations with god before sleep reflects a search for guidance and clarity in navigating life's complexities. Despite uncertainties about the afterlife, the artist remains steadfast in their determination to pursue their dreams and ambitions, even if it means taking unconventional or controversial paths.
In the latter part of the song, STS shifts the focus to their prowess as an artist, asserting their greatness and talent in a competitive industry filled with deceit and exploitation. The lyrics showcase a defiance against the conformities of success and fame, emphasizing a desire to carve out their own unique path and create something enduring and valuable. References to making diamonds from rocks and surpassing the expectations set by others demonstrate a confidence and skill that sets them apart from their peers. The song culminates in a bold declaration of independence and self-assurance, urging the listener to embrace their journey and envision a brighter, more fulfilling future, no matter where they may currently find themselves.

I want you to close your eyes
Take a moment to imagine and visualize something deeply
And vision the most beautiful place in the world
Imagine yourself in a serene and ideal location
If you in the hood on the ghetto street corner
Even if you are in a rough or challenging environment
Come on this journey
Join me on this path
The best journey
The most fulfilling and enriching experience
This is my journey
I am making my way through life on my terms
I wanna walk it lonely
I prefer to take this journey alone
I wanna do it my way
I want to follow my own path and make my own decisions
Only with my homies
Only with my closest friends and allies
Not with the bitches
I don't want to be influenced by negative or deceitful people
They trynna wash the dirty dishes
They attempt to clean up the mess they created
They trynna wish the dirty wishes
They desire things that are tainted or immoral
They trynna fix my dirty stitches
They try to mend my wounds that they caused
I ain't feel you
I don't connect with you or understand your motives
I guess that's the issue
That seems to be the root of the problem
Are you looking for the tissue?
Are you searching for a solution or a way out?
I ain't gonna miss you, nah, nah
I won't long for your presence once you are gone
In 10 years full of tears, full of enemies
Over the course of a decade filled with sorrow and adversaries
Ain't no medicine
There is no cure or solution
This shit ain't gonna get over me
I won't let this situation defeat me or control me
I'm gonna get get over it, I'm gonna get get over it
I will overcome and move past this obstacle
Life's passing
Time is moving forward quickly
That shits too good for me to live without it
Life is too precious for me to not experience it fully
Life after death ain't whats bothering me, I even doubt it
I am not concerned about the afterlife, I even question its existence
Tho every time before I go to sleep
Although every night before I rest
I'm having a conversation with god
I am reflecting and communicating with a higher power
Give me that shit I'll sell my soul
I am willing to make sacrifices for what I desire
I want it real bad
I have a strong desire and craving for it
Tho it don't get me sinning
Despite my intense desire, I won't compromise my values
My eyes seeing from space
I have a broad and cosmic perspective on things
I don't give a fuck if you like or hate
I am indifferent to your approval or disapproval
Good and bad, ain't for me
I don't conform to traditional ideas of morality
I'm only great
I have confidence in my own abilities and worth
Make America great again
A sarcastic reference to a political slogan
I ain't sitting on billions
I don't possess immense wealth
But I'm like Trump - reaching over towers
I am ambitious and striving for success like Trump
Go this motherfucking dirt, raising flowers
Despite challenges, I am creating beauty and growth
So hot making this rock into diamonds
Thriving under pressure and transforming obstacles into success
I ain't Tyga - I'm better than lions
I am stronger and more resilient than expected
Making rappers cry, I get the triumph
I achieve victory by outperforming my competition
Haven't heard of me yet
People may not be familiar with me
But I'm already fucking with hoes you don't get
I am successful with women that others may not understand
Yeah hoes you don't get
Those who don't comprehend my appeal to women
These rappers be stealing money
Other artists are exploiting and profiting unfairly
Hooked up on coke everytime they get on the stage now ain't that funny?
They rely on drugs and deceit, which is ironic
