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.
When you deal with the other side, you see things
They warn you, they let you know, about your friends around you
People around your circumstances
One must have belief in order to believe
One must see in order to know
These little things I tell you is what's kept me here
Is what's made it, possible, for me to tell you this story
Chuck Cheese! Everybody neighborhood's fuck-up
A wild shorty, touched, heads got stuck up
Under the trestle wrestle with your chains 'til your neck muscle
Veins pop out, GIMME, paper cut your bled vessels
So what you real? He'll test, no question
Always on the ave in plex mode, impressin'
Baby girl with jewels and his pretty boy complexion
He was makin' them lose their minds, packin' two-two's
Ready for testin' plus prime time
Stickin' your A-T-M, expert, vickin' your two-week's work
Jerk settle for lickin' ya if any funny moves is made
Known through the PJ's for puttin' bodies in graves
All over the tri-state, now why wait, when crime pays
That's what he started sayin' from way back in the days
He had plans, to stick up the bully, and his mans
But got caught up with the heat
When Jake rolled up in two fifty passenger vans
(Aiyyo! Aiyyo! Get up off me man.
Get up off me. I didn't do nuttin man!
Yo, yo, whassup yo? What's the problem?
What's the problem?)
Thugs bustin' slugs, shorty's down for his respect
Anyway after puttin in three or three-to-five
You thought Chuck would be happy just to be alive
Now thoughts of cash connections
Occupied his mind first, a nigga didn't waste time gettin' work
When he seen the scheme gettin' less green
Chuck Cheese got grimy, him and about fourteen
Was countin' paper on the line at Green Acres
And behind them was the shiny link, it's victim, a move-faker
And so they caught him on the way to the car
In the parkin' lot a shot was heard from afar (whassup now sup now?)
Money's grazed, shameless, without all of the frontin'
Chuck, you know the one with the new link he's now manhuntin'
For more, who get ten G's a wop, on the low
From two hot shot spots in Hollis bold G's that stole
Pushin' weight, through the Metro, he's contracted
Twenty's a hit on his head, jealousy didn't like the way that he acted
Now Chuck heard the news and got attracted
Ready to bring racket to the wrong full metal jacket
Bold, he got some love on the street, he knows about it
Now a tactic or patient retaliation is routed
He gets outted!
(Yo f'real, this little skillet-head nigga.
Runnin' around disrespectin', you know how we get down on South side.
Word to strength, he gots to go. I don't care how it happens!)
Yo, the word got back, to my highest of rank
This cat's burnin' my ears son, his suicidal tendencies
Got me askin' about him, the word on the street is
Y'all ALL want to out him, all present and accounted
There ain't no way around this dilemma, he's stoppin' cheddar
Seen the better part of life so yo he keeps a Beretta
But all we gotta do is, follow plan A through
To the letter, y'all choose the in and outs on you
And just two days later Gator and Chuck was creepin' up Sufton
Out of the dark called yo Chuck they advanced and started buckin'
(What the fuck?) He screamed with no time for duckin', six struck
Rules even apply in these mean streets nigga with no discussion
Ask Chuck!
They warn you, they let you know, about your friends around you
People around your circumstances
One must have belief in order to believe
One must see in order to know
These little things I tell you is what's kept me here

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

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
