In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
What? Well fuck you, bitch
Bounce with me, with me, with me, with me
Can you bounce with me, bounce with me, with me, with me?
Can you bounce with me, bounce with me, G-G-G-G-G
Can you bounce with me, bounce with me, yeah-yeah-yeah
Uh-huh uh-huh bounce with me, bounce with me
Can ya, can ya, can ya bounce with me, bounce with me?
With me, with me, with me, with me, with me, bounce with me, bounce with me
G-G-G-G-G yeah bounce with me, bounce with me
Yeah
Can I hit in the mornin'?
Without givin' you half of my dough
And even worse if I was broke would you want me?
If I couldn't get you finer things
Like all of them diamond rings bitches kill for
Would you still roll?
If we couldn't see the sun risin' off the shore of Thailand
Would you ride then, if I wasn't drivin'?
If I wasn't ah, eight figure nigga by the name of Jigga
Would you come around me or would you clown me?
If I couldn't flow futuristic would ya
Put your two lips on my wood and kiss it, could ya
See yourself with a nigga workin' harder than nine to five
Contend with six, two jobs to survive, or
Do you need a balla? So you can shop and tear the mall up?
Brag, tell your friends what I bought ya
If you couldn't see yourself with a nigga when his dough is low
Baby girl, if this is so, yo
Can I get a fuck you?
To these bitches from all of my niggas
Who don't love hoes, they get no dough
Can I get a woop woop?
To these niggas from all of my bitches
Who don't got love for niggas without dubs?
Can I get a fuck you?
To these bitches from all of my niggas
Who don't love hoes, they get no dough
Can I get a woop woop?
To these niggas from all of my bitches
Who don't got love for niggas without dubs?
Now can you bounce with me (with me, with me)
Can ya, can ya, can ya bounce with me, bounce with me? (Major coin, Amil-lion)
(Uh, yo) bounce with me, bounce with me
Can ya, can ya, can ya, bounce with me, bounce with me? (Yeah, uh-uh uh uh)
You ain't gotta be rich, but fuck that
How we gon' get around your bus pass?
Fo' I put this pussy on your mustache
Can you afford me? My niggas breadwinners, never corny
Ambition makes me, so horny
Not the fussing and the fronting
If you got nothin', baby boy, you betta
Get up, get out and get somethin', shit
I like a, lot of Prada, Alize and vodka
Late nights, candlelight, then I tear the cock up
Get it up, I put it down every time it pop up, huh
I got to snap 'em, let it loose, then I knock ya
Feel the juice, then I got ya, when you produce a rocka
I let you meet mama and introduce you to papa
My coochie remains in a Gucci name
Never test my patience nigga, I'm high maintenance
High class, if you ain't rollin', bypass
If you ain't holdin', I dash yo
Can I get a fuck you?
To these bitches from all of my niggas
Who don't love hoes, they get no dough
Can I get a woop woop?
To these niggas from all of my bitches
Who don't got love for niggas without dubs?
Can I get a fuck you?
To these bitches from all of my niggas
Who don't love hoes, they get no dough
Can I get a woop woop?
To these niggas from all of my bitches
Who don't got love for niggas without dubs?
Now can you bounce for me, bounce for me?

G-G-G-G-G-G can ya bounce with me, bounce with me?
Uh, yeah
It ain't even a question
How my dough flows, I'm good to these bad hoes
Like my bush wet and un-dry like damp clothes
What y'all niggas don't know, it's easy, to pimp a hoe
Bitches betta have my, money fo' sho'
Before they go, runnin' they mouth, promotin' half
I be dickin' they, back out, go 'head, let it out
I fucks with my gat out, bounce and leave a hunnid
Making 'em feel, slutted even if they don't want it
It's been so long
Since I met a chick ain't on my tips but then I'm
Dead wrong, when I tell 'em be gone
So hold on to the feelin of flossin' and platinum
'Cause from now on, you can witness Ja the icon
With hoodies and Timb's on, 'cause I thugs my bitches
VV, studs my bitches, then we rob bitch niggas
I'm talkin' 'bout straight figures if you here, get with us
If not boo, you know what, I still fucked you
Can I get a fuck you?
To these bitches from all of my niggas
Who don't love hoes, they get no dough
Can I get a woop woop?
To these niggas from all of my bitches
Who don't got love for niggas without dubs?
Can I get a fuck you?
To these bitches from all of my niggas
Who don't love hoes, they get no dough

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
i like jay z's part. amil and ja rule's lyrics were pretty lame but they still sounded okay.
