Thank you, thank you very much
For comin' out this evening

Thank you, thank you, thank you you're far too kind
Hold your applause, this is your song not mines

Thank you, thank you, thank you
Please hold your applause
For I just applied logic keys
Keys open doors
Now I'm balcony, opera, black tux, binocular
Black luxe, stop it I shouldn't be so popular
Name keep poppin' up face keep poppin' up
On the tube I'm just watchin' Pacquaio box 'em up
How would I know H-B-O would get a shot of us?
Sitting so close that we almost got snot on us
Please don't bow in my presence
How am I a legend?
I just got ten number one albums, maybe now eleven
More hits than a "Now! Eleven"
That is no reason to treat me like I'm somehow from outta Heaven
Heaven knows that I've made my mistakes
That God, what a guy as I say my grace
Who would of thought by making birds migrate
For the winter I be fly all summer? Might I say

Thank you, thank you, thank you you're far too kind
Hold your applause, this is your song not mines
Thank you, thank you, thank you you're far too kind
Do me a favor, don't do me no favors I'll handle mines
Hovi Baby

We are really high, really high tonight
We tip the waiter a hundred dollars
To keep the ice cold, alright?
We the last guys to keep the wise guys code alive
If I can't live by my word then I'd much rather die
No no don't thank me, it's just how my suit is stitched
I'm cut from a different cloth, I'm just who the shoe fits
For the "Color Of Money" like a Tom Cruise flick
'Cept I put eight-balls in corners without using pool sticks
Beautiful music when champagne flutes click (eh)
Beautiful women sippin' through rouge lips (eh)
Dangers approaches we're like wait who's this?
Let us save you some trouble son
What size suit you is?
This way after the Ruger shoots through a few clips
You can lay in your casket just as you is
We appreciate the target practices
We'll be sure to send flower baskets kid

Thank you, thank you, thank you you're far too kind
Hold your applause, this is your song not mines
Thank you, thank you, thank you you're far too kind
Do me a favor, don't do me no favors I'll handle mines

I was gonna kill a couple rappers
But they did it to themselves
I was goin' do it with the flow
But they did it with their sales
I was goin' nine eleven 'em, but they didn't need the help
And they did a good job them boys is talented as hell
'Cause not only did they brick they put a building up as well
They ran a plane into that building and when that building fell
Ran to the crash site with no masks and inhaled
Toxins deep inside their lungs until both of them was filled
Blew a cloud out like a L into a jar then took a smell
'Cause they heard that second hand smoke kills
Niggas thought they was ill found out they was, ill
And it's like you knew exactly how I wanted you to feel

Thank you, thank you, thank you you're far too kind
Hold your applause, this is your song not mines
Thank you, thank you, thank you you're far too kind
Do me a favor, don't do me no favors I'll handle mines

We are really high, really really high no
Really really high, really high tonight
We are really high, really high tonight
We are really high, really high tonight
Lucky Lefty, kiss the wife tonight for me

    Probably the best on the album.

    A relaxed flow full with bragging lyrics, taking the piss out of those who hate / don't believe he's really up there with the biggest and the best.

    We tipped the waiter a hundred dollars to keep the ice cold, alright?

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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.

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.
Album art
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

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.
