From The Swelly Express (2009)

They waitin' for that decline
pray that I lose my mind
They never want me to shine
but I observe that
trouble I will serve that
Ear to the streets
never will I give the curve back
still movin' at a velocity
still sensing the animosity
hate mail is what they send me
but I separate letters like an apostrophe
colossally, didn't come the same must of had two angles
he was isosceles
but now I'm Socrates
with philosophies
I'm in my tree house please don't bother me
and now it's lookin' like hella-smoke
under aid they lettin' me pass the velvet rope
and it's like getting reckless
feeling like a lone star Texas

(Chorus)
Uh-huh I know what's on your mind
you don't think were gonna shine
I face you to prove you wrong
Thought I was week I tell you I am getting strong
this time its gonna be different than the last time
I swear I'm gonna turn from a hobby and a pastime
tomorrow gonna be better than today (yeah)
this will wash the pain away

Could you cheer for me when you see me?
had to follow my dreams and they cannot believe me
but, see I need it for the cake I go
like Tunday for the TV and the radio
retro 80 flow
hood make it crazy though
puttin' work with music made me lazy though
why cause I couldn't write enough rhymes
they say hip-hop is dead we bring the vital signs
never trippin'
I'm on a different grind
bring slaughter to your houses
young Nickonine
see now tell whatcha get me wrong
if I told you in the studio I met Solange
if I said I command it like its the Pentagon
hatin' on even on the roof I'm upper echelon
but still forever we shine
turn negative to positive I never decline

(Chorus)
Uh-huh I know what's on your mind
you don't think were gonna shine
I face you to prove you wrong
Thought I was week I tell you I am getting strong
this time its gonna be different than the last time
I swear I'm gonna turn from a hobby and a pastime
tomorrow gonna be better than today
this will wash the pain away
Uh-huh

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.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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”

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/

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.
