You goin' through a struggle, a lil' stormy weather
You prayin' that you get your shit together
You know you gotta ride for it
Pushin' to the limit for the money
Self-made so they can't take it from ya
You know you gotta ride for it
Hold your head high, don't forget it
Gotta ride for it
Faith is what you make it
Just believe it
Gotta ride for it
Survival of the fittest, on the grind
Took a loss but the victory is mine
You know you gotta ride for it
Push it to the limit, hustle is way a of life
I know that my blessings comin'
All the things I sacrificed
Couldn't even sleep at night
Stressin' for a better livin'
Sellin' dope to pregnant women, pray to God that I'm forgiven
My intuition tellin' me that I could go to prison
I ain't tryna be another nigga in a crooked system
I gotta straighten up
My daughter started kindergarten
If they separate us, guarantee that she'll be brokenhearted
And I can feel the pain, my daddy left when I was younger
He's such a coward, cause he put the blame upon my mama
But what it is, is that he's selfish and he can't provide
I see the sucker in your eye, ain't no need to apologize
I'm movin' up, I graduated, feelin' educated
Not to mention, Mossy B is feelin' so anticipated
Authenticated by the streets, you know I'm certified
Call on me in any situation, I'll be there to ride
You goin' through a struggle, a lil' stormy weather
You prayin' that you get your shit together
You know you gotta ride for it
Pushin' to the limit for the money
Self-made so they can't take it from ya
You know you gotta ride for it
Hold your head high, don't forget it
Gotta ride for it
Faith is what you make it
Just believe it
Gotta ride for it
Survival of the fittest, on the grind
Took a loss but the victory is mine
You know you gotta ride for it
Am I Muslim or am I Christian?
Be careful about religion, the bigger brother listenin'
The world is really twisted, psychopathic, sadistic
Prayin' that God would give me the definition of livin
Police have been killin' niggas, modern day form of lynchin
Usin' the prison system to swallow up their ambition
Try to give them some knowledge, niggas don't ever listen
Til' reality hit him and they just end up a victim
Who's fightin' for civil rights or equality anymore
Guarantee that Malcolm got more than what he bargained for
They got us under surveillance, tapin' our conversation
You don't know who to trust, cause friends can turn into strangers
Wonder how we gon' live, strugglin' to survive
Usin' my rap skills to keep my spirit alive
For every soldier who died, every mother who cried
Call on Mossy B and I guarantee I'm down to ride
You goin' through a struggle, a lil' stormy weather
You prayin' that you get your shit together
You know you gotta ride for it
Pushin' to the limit for the money
Self-made so they can't take it from ya
You know you gotta ride for it
Hold your head high, don't forget it
Gotta ride for it
Faith is what you make it
Just believe it
Gotta ride for it
Survival of the fittest, on the grind
Took a loss but the victory is mine
You know you gotta ride for it

    This song is so funny. I guess anything mixed over The Ghost Busters theme has some merit. I don't like rap, but some rare tunes are awesome. Just like silentj said, the meaning is obvious.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
