Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Backlight, umm
Gotta be 79, 80, maybe even 81
But I thought it was 80, that's it
Flash and Melle Mel
Aiyyo tips and toes and fly poses
I resurrect and respect like I'm Moses
Flows is boasts, 'Def' just like 'Mos' is
And caked out like Rev just bought Hostess
Run got a rhyme designed like seven-nine was
I come to flip the script and change time 'cause
Go, here we go, here we, here we, here we made it
I take it back 'fore flattops was faded
Way before the laptop created
But now it's on and back and y'all played it
And you don't stop, it's the sure shot
Francois see'est faux, Flashe' no deux
And you don't stop, it's the sure shot
Take a tour, take a tour
And you don't stop, it's the sure shot
Francois see'est faux, Flashe' no deux
I said don't stop, do punk rock
Played a game that couldn't last
An ounce of memories from the past
The life I thought, I wanted is today
Aiyyo back by choices and my voice is
On point just like a Rolls Royce is
Noises, boys is poison with toys
Caked out and Run be the moistest
Run got a rhyme designed like seven-nine was
I come to flip the script and change time 'cause
Go, here we go, here we, here we, here we nitro
That nigga Run insure you like Geico
I 'member Flash and Mel rocked the night, yo
And back then them boys was like nitro
And you don't stop, it's the sure shot
Francois see'est faux, Flashe' no deux
And you don't stop, it's the sure shot
Take a tour, take a tour
And you don't stop, it's the sure shot
Francois see'est faux, Flashe' no deux
I said don't stop, do punk rock
Gotta be 79, 80, maybe even 81
But I thought it was 80, that's it
Flash and Melle Mel
Aiyyo tips and toes and fly poses
I resurrect and respect like I'm Moses
Flows is boasts, 'Def' just like 'Mos' is
And caked out like Rev just bought Hostess
Run got a rhyme designed like seven-nine was
I come to flip the script and change time 'cause
Go, here we go, here we, here we, here we made it
I take it back 'fore flattops was faded
Way before the laptop created
But now it's on and back and y'all played it
And you don't stop, it's the sure shot
Francois see'est faux, Flashe' no deux
And you don't stop, it's the sure shot
Take a tour, take a tour
And you don't stop, it's the sure shot
Francois see'est faux, Flashe' no deux
I said don't stop, do punk rock
Played a game that couldn't last

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.

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.
