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.
[2Pac]
I was so money orientated, initiated as a thug
Fiendin for wicked adventures, ambitious as I was
Picture a nigga on the verge of livin insane
I sold my soul for a chance to kick it and bang
Now tell if I'm wrong
but sayin "Fuck the world" got you deeper in my songs
Drinkin 'til I earl, spendin money 'til it's gone
It's the good life - maybe niggaz got it goin on
Now maybe if I died, and came back, wouldn't have to slang crack
Addicted to the game, so obviously we came strapped
Please forgive me for my wicked ways, fuck a bitch
Bad Boy niggaz eat a dick a day, bumpin this
Lord have mercy it's a slaughter
So wicked that my tracks is wettin niggaz like it's water
I learned my lessons as a thug in these wicked ass hood fights
But I'm a baller now, nigga, I live the good life
[Chorus]
This is the good life, fuck my foes
God bless the dumb niggaz that, trust them hoes
Found a way to stack money guaranteed to rise
and live the good life, cause thug niggaz don't die
We live the good life, fuck my foes
God bless the dumb niggaz that, trust these hoes
Found a way to stack money guaranteed to rise
and live the good life, cause thug niggaz don't die
[Big Syke]
No one knows what the, future holds, but you
Haha.. listen close
They say reach in yo' heart and you'll find your mind
Every day in the streets, got my foresight blind
My after time is narrow, peepin down the barrel of a foe
Just a nigga or a killer I don't know so
who makes the call will I fall a victim like the rest?
Slug in the chest, one in the dome and make sure I'm gone
Send me home all alone in these cold streets
In desperation constantly drinkin and I can't sleep
Neck deep strugglin tryin to survive
SOme wanna die I wanna stay alive, eyes on the prize
Let me modify this whole region
I declare this sucker duckin season, give me the reason
why I should change, into a softie
.. after living so loftily
It cost me my soul out of control in a devil's world
Me, my niggaz, and my girl - livin the good life!
[Chorus]
[E.D.I.]
I spend my days and nights not knowin if, strays in flight
gon' finally catch me, it's the good life, can you hear me?
Clearly over the edge, soon as I wake up
Last night we off the hook, doin way too much
But it's the fast lane only, big dealin big ceiling
All for the money, some kill some squeal
All for the money, most ain't even real
but we still call 'em homies, now what the fuck is that?
Fake love, fake thugs are, all in the game
I watch 'em all plot and fall while we come up and gain
Outlaw never surrender is the call when you hear us comin
Better start to get to runnin 'fore my click get to gunnin
Still in the midst of all the stress and pain
I'm still tryin to get a hold of the game, livin that good life
I was so money orientated, initiated as a thug
Fiendin for wicked adventures, ambitious as I was
Picture a nigga on the verge of livin insane
I sold my soul for a chance to kick it and bang
Now tell if I'm wrong
but sayin "Fuck the world" got you deeper in my songs
Drinkin 'til I earl, spendin money 'til it's gone
It's the good life - maybe niggaz got it goin on
Now maybe if I died, and came back, wouldn't have to slang crack

Please forgive me for my wicked ways, fuck a bitch

So wicked that my tracks is wettin niggaz like it's water

But I'm a baller now, nigga, I live the good life
[Chorus]
This is the good life, fuck my foes
God bless the dumb niggaz that, trust them hoes

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”
Holiday
Bee Gees

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.
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/
"give me the reason why I should change, into a softie after living so loftily It cost me my soul out of control in a devil's world"
illuminati. no wonder why this song wasnt in the database till today.
2pac was shot by illuminati w/ bad boy. then he agreed to work for them, signed with DEATH ROW, and pumped out this shit with All Eyez On Me. Pac made a ton of money. Used it to make Makaveli Records. First album on Makaveli Records? KILLUMINATI. Same month its released 2Pac is killed. Strange huh?
Just a lil more proof about 2pac. I'll put it on this song because its not that popular.
He even says it in this song, "I sold my soul for a chance to kick it and bang."
I just want to put a quote Tupac said which came out after Me Against The World, which includes the track So Many Tears.
"What I want people to know is that. Don't. Don't support the phonies. Support the real. You know what I mean? How can these people be talking about they so real they don't care about our communities. How can they be talking about all this, you know the hood blah blah. They don't care about our communities. You know what I mean."
"Listen to the words people say in their lyrics, and tell me. If that's some real shit. Is that real to you? You know what I mean listen to what they saying. Don't just bob your head to the beat, peep the game. Listen to what I'm saying and hold me accountable for it."
"My music is spiritual if you listen to it. It's all about emotion. I tell my innermost darkest secrets."
^ This was also before the album All Eyez On Me.
In So Many Tears:<br /> <br /> "I know my destiny is Hell, where did I fail?<br /> My life is in denial, and when I die, <br /> baptized in eternal fire I'll shed so many tears"<br /> <br /> "And though my soul was deleted, I couldn't see it<br /> I had my mind full of demons tryin to break free<br /> They planted seeds and they hatched, sparkin the flame<br /> Inside my brain like a match, such a dirty game"<br /> <br /> Game = Music Industry.<br /> Illuminati supposedly runs the industry.<br /> <br /> When Thugz Cry:<br /> <br /> "They puttin hits out on politicians, even cops, I ain't lyin<br /> They got me sleepin with my infrared beams<br /> And in my dreams I hear motherfuckers screamin<br /> What is the meaning, when thugs cry?"<br /> <br /> "Makin yo people disappear wonder where they went,<br /> Am I cold or is it just I sold my soul?"<br /> <br /> In Ghetto Star:<br /> "Introduce you to the pleasure and the pain, you can go so far<br /> Just sell me your soul, and live the life.. (of a ghetto star)"<br /> <br /> In Smile:<br /> "Sellin' my soul for material wishes, fast cars and bitches<br /> Wishin' I live my life a legend, immortalized in pictures"<br /> <br /> if you actually read all this check out Harder Then You Think by Public Enemy. They talk about it.<br /> <br /> Eminem always subliminally talks about illuminati. He does in Say Goodbye Hollywood, Lose Yourself.<br /> <br /> I mean even look at the song titles. It's all there. We're just too programmed into their shit to slow down and peep it out.<br /> <br /> Michael Jackson talks about illuminati all the time.<br /> <br /> In Been There Done That by Dr.Dre:<br /> "If money is the root I want the whole damn tree,<br /> Ain't trying to stick around for illuminati,<br /> Got to by my own island for the year 2G."<br /> <br /> People arent just making shit up.<br /> We just dont want to believe it.<br />
