To all the ladies in the place with style and grace
Allow me to lace lyrical douches in your bushes
Who rock grooves and make moves with all the mommies
The back of the club, sippin' Moet, is where you'll find me
The back of the club, mackin' hoes, my crew's behind me
Mad question askin', blunt passin', music blastin'
But I just can't quit because one of these honnies Biggie gots ta creep with,
Sleep with, keep the EP a secret
Why blow up my spot 'cause we both got hot
I got more Mack than Craig and in the bed
And believe me sweety I got enough to feed the needy
No need to be greedy, I got mad friends with Benz's
C-notes by the layers, true fuckin' players
Jump in the Rover and come over
I got chronic, I got chronic, I g-g-g-g-g-got the chronic

I love it when you call me Big Poppa
Throw your hands in the air, if you are a true playa
I love it when you call me Big Poppa
To all the honnies gettin' moneys, playin' niggas like dummies
I love it when you call me Big Poppa
If you got a gun up in your waist but don't shoot up the place (why?)
'Cause I see some ladies tonight..
'Cause I see some ladies tonight..
'Cause I see some ladies tonight
That should be havin' my baby, baby

Straight up honey, I really am askin'
Most of these niggas think that they be mackin'
But they're just motherfuckin' acting

Who they attractin' with that line
"What's your name? What's your sign?"
Soon as he buy that wine I just creep up from behind
And ask you what your interests are and who you be with
Things to make you smile, what numbers to dial
You gon' be here for a while
I'm gon' go call my crew
You go call your crew
We can rendezvous at the bar around two
Plans to leave, throw the keys to Lil Cease
Pull the truck up front and roll up the next blunt
Conversate for a few, 'cause in a few
We gonna do what we came to do
Ain't that right boo? (truuue)
Forget the telly, we'll just go to my crib
And watch a movie in the jacuzzi, smokin' big L's while you do me

I love it when you call me Big Poppa
Throw your hands in the air, if you are a true playa
I love it when you call me Big Poppa
To all the honnies gettin' moneys, playin' niggas like dummies
I love it when you call me Big Poppa
If you got a gun up in your waist but don't shoot up the place (why?)
'Cause I see some ladies tonight..
'Cause I see some ladies tonight..
'Cause I see some ladies tonight
That should be havin' my baby, baby

How ya livin' Biggie Smalls?
In mansions and Benz's
Givin' ends to my friends and it feels stupendous
Tremendous cream, fuck a dollar and a dream
I still tote gats strapped with infrared beams
Choppin O's, smokin' lye and Optimo's
Money, hos, and clothes is all a nigga knows
A foolish pleasure, whatever
I had to find the buried treasure
So-so-so-so-so-so grams I had to measure
Livin' better now, Gucci sweater now
Drop-top BM's, I'm the man girlfriend
Livin' better now, Gucci sweater now
Drop-top BM's, Drop-top BM's

(Honey, check it
Tell your friends, to get with my friends
And we can be friends
We can do this every god damn weekend
Keep bangin')

I love it when you call me Big Poppa
Throw your hands in the air, if you are a true playa
I love it when you call me Big Poppa
To all the honnies gettin' moneys, playin' niggas like dummies
I love it when you call me Big Poppa
If you got a gun up in your waist but don't shoot up the place (why?)
'Cause I see some ladies tonight..
'Cause I see some ladies tonight..
'Cause I see some ladies tonight
That should be havin' my baby, baby

Cajun Girl
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
@[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.
