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.
You know who is in charge
Don't make me say it again
This little girl really is 'bout to break the market open
No there is no weak beats cause you know what I'm about
Recorded changes fuckin' beats cuz all we're hearing is crap
I've been around around in these clubs
Wanna know what I found?
This poppy dance crap wannabe overground
But this is 2006 so listen all you suckers
We grew up on hearing rap and not you fake ass rockers
I don't care about you
But what i want is BJ
Gimmie some new dope beats
And I'll bring back the paper
Yes I sound so fresh on any tempo
And I'll see you at my show, mouthing all my flows
Is that your girl who's watchin me?
She might become a lesbian
I rap for my ladies to pump up the feminine
Yo, your fuckin' crew better stay out my way
'Cuz I got a DJ like OH! and a partner like HEY!
Now us girls are fed up of all you wannabes
You've got your hat on the side and you talk like a G
But wearing all these fat clothes doesn't make you a pimp
I'm gonna tell you straight up what this bullshit means
You're wearing your pants down
Its dangling off your ass
Is it because you grab your ankles for a VIP pass?
You use your new fancy phone to call back your mother,
"hey mom I'm with my boys i won't be home for dinner,"
Little Uff's got the sound thats why you're movin' like that
We are back I got rhyming
I aint never get whack
While you're here raise your hands
Show the world where you at
Cuz you aint never seen a cutie who can drop it like that
You're just out of sunday sports
Time your your favorite class
How To Feel Like A Pimp: 10 Lessons In Rap
Oh boy you know everything
Selling dope, cooking rock
If i got you a record deal would you blow up the spot?
While you others got dreams, me? I'm making it happen
I aint in this damn biz with no silly ambition
I wanna bounce in the club 'till it makes me crazy
I wanna hear some new shit so let me get busy
Little Uff's got the sound thats why you movin' like that
That's why you run to the phone after each track that we drop
saying, "Damn, Busy P you gotta get me this girl,"
But you ain't gonna get shit
I got the best producers
Don't make me say it again
This little girl really is 'bout to break the market open
No there is no weak beats cause you know what I'm about
Recorded changes fuckin' beats cuz all we're hearing is crap
I've been around around in these clubs

I Can't Go To Sleep

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.

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

“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.
i think its: "Little Uff's got the sound thats why you movin' like that thats why you run to the phone after each track that we drop"
Love this song.
