Yeah, smash on the radio bet, I penned it!
Britney (break me off)
Oh, toy soldier
Oh, toy soldier
Oh, toy soldier
Oh, toy soldier

I'm out the door, it's automatic, simple babe
I'm like a fire, bottle busting in your face
So tired of you being up in my space
How much more could I take?
I'm tired of privates driving, need a general that ain't weak

When I shut the door, leaving with my bag
Hit the scene in my new wagon
Bet he gonna wish he knew the type of fun I'm getting into
Peek-a-boo, he good, doing things you wish you could
He's not talking, he's just walking
Like them city boys from New York

This time I need a soldier, a really bad ass soldier
That know how to take, take care of me
I'm so damn glad that's over
This time I need a soldier, I'm sick of toy soldiers
A boy that knows how to take care of me
Won't be just coming over

I don't want no more (break me off)
Oh, toy soldier
I'm simply sick and tired of those
Oh, toy soldier
I don't want no more
Oh, toy soldier
I'm simply sick and tired of those

I want it more than ever now
I realized that they ain't listening
Like a princess supposed to get it
That's why I'm dusting off my fitted
Coming back looking delicious
Yes I know they want to kiss me
Now I hold them at attention
Cause new Britney's on a mission

When I shut the door, leaving with my bag
Hit the scene in my new wagon
Bet he gonna wish he knew the type of fun I'm getting into
Peek-a-boo, he good, doing things you wish you could
He's not talking, he's just walking
Like them city boys from New York

This time I need a soldier, a really bad ass soldier
That know how to take, take care of me
I'm so damn glad that's over
This time I need a soldier, I'm sick of toy soldiers
A boy that knows how to take care of me
Won't be just coming over

Brit, I heard that he was saying he's still in love with you, and
Brit, I heard he said he could stay if he wanted to, and
Brit, I heard every man out here is wanting you now
Brit, I heard, I heard, what you gonna do now?

This time I need a soldier, a really bad ass soldier
That know how to take, take care of me
I'm so damn glad that's over
This time I need a soldier, I'm sick of toy soldiers
A boy that knows how to take care of me
Won't be just coming over

(I need, I'm so sick of toy soldiers)
A boy that knows how to take care of me
Won't be just coming over
Coming over
Coming over
(I need, I'm so sick of toy soldiers)
A boy that knows how to take care of me
Won't be just coming over

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 Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
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.

The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
