Got my Vans on, but they look like sneakers
Got my Vans on, but they look like sneakers

You wearin' coke whites but my Vans look cleaner
Got my Vans on, but they look like sneakers
Got my Vans on, but they look like sneakers

You wearin' coke whites but my Vans look cleaner

Got my Vans on, finna walk out the door
Put five on the grapes so you know I'm gon' blow
Got the new pack shoe, bought it right out the door
Holla at the dope girls, dope boys all go
Man, if you really tight, then you gotta get Vans
See me in the club, bitch I'm a grown man
If you see me at a party, then it must be crack
Cost thirty-six dollars, all black, yes
Like my niggas make slaps and we get clothes mayne
Fuck coke whites, 'cause my Vans fucking gold
Got new top-siders finna fly like kites
Go to sleep in the day, go to parties at night
Man, I'm from B-town and all my niggas get like
Man, we be sportin' Vans and we throw away Nikes
If you wanna get right, stop buyin' those Nikes
Get some new fuckin' Vans and you'll bet you look icy (hey)

Get your grown man on, when you wear top-siders (hey)
Button-ups and sweaters, equal attire (yes)

Thirty-six dollars and you're cashin' out for some Vans (hey)

    The first time I heard this on the radio I thought it was pretty lame because I thought it was a commercial.

    It's catchy as hell but it stills sounds like Vans paid them to record it.

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.

Blue
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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
