Cause Butter beans, you better stay sharp
Cause I’m gonna freeze out life blood [from that black heart]
I’m gonna fry I’m gonna fry with a smile on my face

(Butter beans, I’m gonna get you, I’m gonna get you,

You think you’re so slick
I seen a million [stick cross your dell snit]
You think you’re so slick
I seen a million [stick cross your dell snit]

Butter beans, you go and try and hide
In the swamp grass I got swamp eyes
And I’ll track you down like a bloodhound
It’s your time to die

(Butter beans I’m gonna get you, I’m gonna get you,
I’m gonna get you)

Butter beans, you’ve gotten so fat
I can bet [a kill you wait across my time
And bad
top and singing and aim and I’ll sin you say]

(Butter beans, I’m gonna get you, I’m gonna get you,
I’m gonna get you)

Real thick black magic and stop the tragedy
From happening
Pig’s feet and snake piss
Crow tongue and cat face
Horse tail and bone bits
Bird’s nest and gray [goose]

All of it won’t keep the tragedy from happening
So [run]

(Ba ba ba ba

(Ba ba ba ba

(Ba ba ba ba

    after listening to this on full blast a few times, i think i got the lyrics down pat without all the weird unicode bs. he says his stuff pretty clear in this, except the background singers make it kinda hard to hear the last line of every verse. here:

    Butter beans, I'm gonna get you I'm gonna stick you, I'm gonna take you down And then romp, I'm goin' to hell, You're riding shotgun.

    Butter beans, I'm gonna get you, I'm gonna get you, I'm gonna get you

    Butter beans, I know she wants you Bet you'll make a lovely headdress Or a double breasted suit of skin

    Butter beans, I'm gonna get you, I'm gonna get you, I'm gonna get you

    Butter beans, you best stay sharp 'Cause I'm gonna free that black blood from that black heart I'm gonna fry I'm gonna fry with a smile on my face

    Butter beans, I'm gonna get you, I'm gonna get you, I'm gonna get you

    You think you're so slick I've seen her lipstick 'cross your dillsnick You think you're so slick I've seen her lipstick 'cross your dillsnick

    Butter beans, you go and try and hide In the swamp grass I got swamp eyes And I'll track you down like a bloodhound It's your time to die

    Butter beans I'm gonna get you, I'm gonna get you, I'm gonna get you

    Butter beans, you've gotten so fat I can barely carry your weight across my tiny back Taught me singing, in the end when I see you, say Amen

    Butter beans, I'm gonna get you, I'm gonna get you, I'm gonna get you

    Real thick black magic can't stop the tragedy from happening Pigs feet and snake piss, crow tongue and cat face Horse tail and bone bits Bird's nest and graveyards All of it won't keep the tragedy from happening So run!

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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/

Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.

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.
