You've been waiting so long to find it in yourself that you have nothing
You've been trying to find yourself through the years
From the start to the finish line
And I can say I have been honest with you
But you're not gonna listen, You don't ever listen

Make your own, make your own history
Leave behind your legacy
Make your own, make your own
Make your own history
Leave behind, leave behind your legacy

Blindly following footsteps before you know it
Traveled closer to your own death
Through the years you've misplaced identities
A hybrid of lies and apologies

Think for yourself
Prove to everyone that your life means something
Do you want to be alive?

Make your own, make your own history
Leave behind your legacy
Make your own, make your own
Make your own history
Leave behind, leave behind your legacy

Stop trying to be something that you're not
Start thinking with your heart and focus on what you got
Make your mark on the world
Because the only lives that count are the ones that make an impact

To live a life is to be profound
Pick yourself up get your feet off the ground
No use for everything to be handed to you
The higher the better it doesn't matter what you do

Make your own history
Make your own history
Make your own history
Make your own history
Make your own history
Make your own

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.

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/
