I need love, the kind I've never known before
You need it too, the kind that makes you feel so good, baby
I want to give, give you all the love you need
Well, I'm a loner, and that's the way I want to be, yeah

Let me say as the sun climbs across the sky above
So your smile filled me with a stronger love
Just as you and I, watchin' the morning sky, oh yeah
Somehow I know it's time for me to say goodbye, yeah, yeah

Here's why : can't make a deal with the preacher, oh yeah, yeah
And I can't make a bargain in heaven, now

Angel, you came to my window
Angel, you came to my door
I was a fool and I let you in
I sure ain't no fool anymore!

Yeah, yeah, you better believe me right now baby
Oh, yeah

As the sun climbs across the sky above
So your smile filled me with a stronger love, mm
Just as you and I, watchin' the morning sky
And somehow I know it's time for me to say goodbye

I can't make a deal with the preacher, you know yeah
And I can't make a bargain in heaven, yeah, yeah

Heaven knows me by now
I can't make a deal, oh no, no, no, no
I love you baby, I love you baby
I can't make a deal, make a deal, make a deal
Make a deal, make a deal, yeah, yeah
You know and I can't make no bargain in heaven
Listen, I can't make a deal, make a deal, make a deal
Make a deal, make a deal, oh, oh
And I can't make no bargain in heaven, oh yeah
Make a deal...

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
