In the early part of the decade, several American politicians attacked rappers, including the Geto Boys (though most famously Ice-T and 2 Live Crew). A high-profile incident in which Bushwick Bill (actually a dwarf) lost an eye in a shooting incident with his girlfriend helped sales for their third album, We Can't Be Stopped, which showed Bushwick on the cover being carted through a hospital by Scarface and Willie D. They responded to being dropped by Geffen on the title track, and "Mind Playing Tricks On Me" became a hit in the rap community.

Still
The geto boys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I'm without you once again.
You laughed at me, you said you've never needed me,
I wonder if you need me now.
We played the grams that people play, we made mistakes along the way.
Somehow I know deep in my heart, you needed me.
Remembering the pain, if I must say, it's deep in my mind and locked away,
But then most of all, I do love you
Those memories, times I'm sure we'll never forget,
Those feelings we can't put aside.
For what we had, sometimes I try to understand,
But it's so heavy on my mind.
So many dreams that flew away, so many words we didn't say.
Two people lost in a storm, where did we go, where'd we go?
Lost what we both had found, you know we let each other down.
But then most of all, I do love you
Still.
We played the games that people play,
We made mistakes along the way.
Somehow I know deep in my heart, you needed me.
Cause I needed you so desperately.
We were too blind to see, but then,
Most of all, I do love you
The Geto Boys' song "Still" is a heart-wrenching ballad that explores the depths of love and loss. The first verse sets the tone for the song with its melancholic opening line: "Lady, morning's just a moment away, and I'm without you once again." The singer is longing for the person they love, but they have been rejected and made to feel unwanted. The singer wonders if this person who once claimed they never needed him now needs him more than ever.
The chorus of the song is a declaration of love despite the pain and mistakes the two people have made in their relationship. "Still" is a poignant reminder of the power of love and how it endures even when things go wrong. The verses go on to reminisce about the good times the couple shared, but also acknowledge the mistakes and pain that have caused them to drift apart. Despite this, the singer knows in their heart that they are still in love.
What is particularly powerful about the song is the way it captures the complexity of love and how it can be both beautiful and painful. It is a reminder that relationships are never easy, and that even when things go wrong, love can still endure.

1996 for me.
First hardcore rap song I ever heard.
My boy snuck out of his house after it was time to go home, knocked on my door. He had a Walkman and put the headphones on my head and said, "Listen to this"
That was it for me. The rap bug had me.
First time wearing headphones too 😂 and I was 14.
This joint and "I just wanna die" were on repeat.
Came to find out there was a whole WORLD of music like this out there. I was in love with hip-hop.
