I'm take my Lexus to the mall
Get a little black dress just because
Me and my boo just broke it off
I'm a stay fly although he's gone
I don't really care about who he's with
I'm get mine and he'll get his
Even though I was in love with him, I really hope the best for them

Very sentimental
And my cryings detrimental,
Tell me what I'm getting into,
I can't lose my mind.
I think its time for me to let go cause my heart can't take it no mo,
You were all I lived for but I leave you behind.

I'm a be OK,
I'm a be OK,
I'll survive, I'll be fine, I won't cry, no way
I'm a be OK,
I'm a be OK,
Don't you talk, I'll move on,
Baby walk away

All I gave to you, I'm so broke and blue
Make believe its cool I'm so over you.

I'm a keep my head up hold it high,
Really did my best God knows you try
Even though it hurts I will survive,
I'll wipe my eyes, I'll say it loud
Take a deep breath and count to 10,
Today's a new day I'll start again,
I'm a find myself so deep within,
I'm a survivor I'll wink

Very sentimental
And my cryings detrimental,
Tell me what I'm getting into,
I can't lose my mind.
I think its time for me to let go cause my heart can't take it no mo,
You were all I lived for but I leave you behind.
Â
I'm a be OK,
I'm a be OK,
I'll survive, I'll be fine, I won't cry no way
I'm a be OK,
I'm a be OK,
Don't you talk, I'll move on
Baby walk away
Â
I gotta rock the mic I'll be right back,
Gotta catch a flight, my Samsonite's packed,
Three months rapping all around the map,
Girl I see you on the internet on Ichat,
Cyberspace is the place to see my lady,
Baby we can instant message on the daily
Half way you could met me out in Asia
Cause ninety days without seeing you is crazy.
We got three days banging up in Shang Hi
Last day I see the water hanging in yo eye
I know my mama told me not to make a lady cry
But that's impossible when all I gotta say is bye
But I'm a, I'm a

I'm a be OK,
I'm a be OK,
I'll survive, I'll be fine, I won't cry no way
I'm a be OK,
I'm a be OK,
Don't you talk, I'll move on baby walk away

All I gave to you, I'm so broke and blue
Make believe its cool I'm so over you.
I'm so broke and blue
Make believe its cool I'm so over you.

    This song is really helpful. I just found out I wasn't given any job positions at my school and I'm really upset. This song is helping me to get over it.

    IF you can't tell what it means... I'd suggest you actually read the lyrics LOL. Very straight forward. She broke up with the man that she loves, but even though it hurts because they loved each other, she needs to let go otherwise it will hurt her even more. She wishes the best for him in his life and she will move on to get the best in hers. As she sings this song, she's probably very sad, still thinking of him, but trying to put herself in this positive mindset.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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.
