(Like the fire needs the air)
Yeah
(I won't burn unless you're there, you're there)
I need you
(Ooh, I need you)
I need you to hate so I can use for your energy
(Like the fire needs the air)
You know (I won't burn unless you're there, you're there)
It's real shit
(Ooh-)
Feel this

America got a thing for this gangsta shit, they love me
Black Chukkas, black skullies, leather Pelle Pelle
I tag SPIT over Ramo's shit, I'm a vandal
Got that silver duck tape on my trey-eight handle
The women on my life bring confusion and shit
So like Nino in New Jack I holla, "Cancel that bitch"
Look at me, this is the life I chose
Niggas around me so cold, man, my heart done froze up
I build a empire on the low, the NARC's don't know
I'm the weatherman, I take that coco leaf and make that snow
Sit back, watch it turn to dope, watch it go out the do'
O after O, you know?
Homie, I'm just triple beam dreaming, niggas be scheming
I fiend to live the good life, the fiends are just fiendin'
Conceal my weapon nice and neat so you can't see
The penitentiary is definitely out the question for me (yeah)

I want the finer things in my life
So I hustle (hustle)
Nigga, you get in my way while I'm tryin' to get mine
And I'll buck you (buck you)
I don't care who you run with or where you from
Nigga, fuck you (fuck you)
I want the finer things in my life
So I hustle (hustle)

Yeah
I don't know shit about gymnastics, I summersault bricks
And black talons start flyin', when a nigga flip
I cook crack in the microwave, niggas can't fuck with me
Man my co-Ds', they call me Chef Boyar-50
Check my logic, smokers don't like seeds in their weed
Shit, send me them seeds, I'll grow 'em what they need
Them ain't chia pet plants in the crib, that's chronic
And I'm sellin' them for five-hundred a pop, goddamn it
I sell anything, I'ma hustler I know how to grind
Step on grapes put it in water and tell you its wine
If you analyze me, what you'll find
Is the DNA of a crook and what goes on in my mind
Is contagious, hypnotic, it sounds melodic
If rap was the block or a spot, I'll be that potent product
Now get a load of me, flashy, far from low key (uh-huh)
And you can locate me where ever that dope be
Getting money, man

I want the finer things in my life
So I hustle (hustle)
Nigga, you get in my way while I'm tryin' to get mine
And I'll buck you (buck you)
I don't care who you run with or where you from
Nigga, fuck you (fuck you)
I want the finer things in my life
So I hustle (hustle)

It's a Hustler's Ambition, close your eyes listen, see my vision
Mossberg pumpin', shotgun dumpin'
That drama means nothin', it's part of the game
Catch me in the coupe switchin' lanes
Or in the jeweler switchin' chains
I upgrade from dirty BS to clean VS
Rocks that I copped proceeds from the spot
I got the energy to win, I'm full of adrenaline
Play the curb and get nauseous, watchin' the spinners spin
I make plans to make it, a prisoner of the state
Now I can invite yo' ass out to my estate
Them hollow tips bent me up, but I'm back in shape
Pour Cristal in the blender, make a protein shake
I'm like the East coast number one playboy B
Hugh Hef'll tell you he don't got shit on me
The feds watch me, icy, they can't stop me
Racist, pointin' at me, "Look at Niggaracci"
Hello

I want the finer things in my life
So I hustle (hustle)
Nigga, you get in my way while I'm tryin' to get mine
And I'll buck you (buck you)
I don't care who you run with or where you from
Nigga, fuck you (fuck you)
I want the finer things in my life
So I hustle (hustle)

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”

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
