Socken

Socken is the name used for a part of a county in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden. A socken was formerly linked to a parish but is now a traditional area with other borders than the original parishes. In some parts of Sweden the use of "socken" as a way to describe an area is more prominent than in others. A socken may also have the same name as a locality or parish.

History

Socken, in old Swedish sokn, Danish or bokmål sogn, nynorsk sokn, is an archaic name for the original country church parishes, kyrksocken. It also describes a secular area, a sockenkommun ("rural area locality") or a taxation area, a jordbokssocken. In the Nordic countries a socken was an administrative area consisting of several villages or localities in much the same way as the civil parishes in England, but the concept is not used in reference to towns. A socken had a socken church, it was governed by a socken council and it was the predecessor to modern municipalities

In 1862, the kyrksockens ("church socken") and the sockenkommuns ("rural area locality") in Sweden were abolished as administrative areas during municipality reforms. The jordbrukssocken ("taxation area") remained in use until the Fastighetsdatareformen ("Reform for registration of real property") 1976–1995 was complete. No further alterations to the sockens was made after this.

Bring Me Down

by: Saigon

You've ever get the feeling
No matter what they do no matter what they say
You know you'll make it someday
You know the feeling when your back is up against the wall
People say they love you but you ain't convinced at all
Tell them they full of shittin they'll tell ya you insecure
Callin ya immature does that make sense to ya'll?
You ever feel like it's you against the whole world?
Like everybody is scheming even your only girl
Your home boys seem to be counting your money
Tell em you ain't got it n he lookin at you funny
I'm feeling like I probably need ta either leave the game alone
Or either be the cheater bang the chrome n get his hatin on
[Bridge:]
How does the siagon story end how
You know what they sayin for now
[Chorus:]
They'll say I'm killer
I feel I'm as high as I can be
N ya'll ain't gon fly as high as me
I can't be no realaaa
Ya'll ain't gon bring me down [repeats]
I can't be no realaa
Ya'll ain't gonna bring me down
I'm too high but it's not from a drug
It's not from a drink not from a night at the club
It's not from abroad
It's not from what I coped from the deala
I would tell ya
But if I tell ya
Then I gotta kill ya
I've been around a lil while but I'm kinda scared
It's I'll like a vet that's still wet behind the ear
Some niggas look hard
But I don't feel a threat behind the steer
I'm looking for vics
N They could be volunteer
How dare somebody jump out the window ta try n stop me
I wait for niggas then shoot em like I was a paparazzi
Manly's back system knockin the mazzarati
I jump out the back n turn ya block into nagasaki
I shouldn't have always make a issue with the pistol
Just to prove ta kids he's official tissue to the gristle
[Bridge:]
How does the siagon story end how
You know what they sayin for now
[Chorus:]
Just say I'm killer
I feel I'm as high as I can be
N ya'll ain't gon fly as high as me
I can't be no realaaa
Ya'll ain't gon bring me down [repeats]
I can't be no realaa
Ya'll ain't gonna bring me down
I'm too high but it's not from a drug
High on life, love
I'm from above
Just say I'm killer
I feel I'm as high as I can be
N ya'll ain't gon fly as high as me
I can't be no realaaa
Ya'll ain't gon bring me down [repeats]
I can't be no realaa
