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.
Act like you forgot about it, let some months go by
Let everything just simmer down
And just when them niggas think you let that shit go
Slide through and wake they shit up
Act like you forgot about it, let some months go by
Let everything just simmer down
And just when niggas think you let that shit go
Slide through and wake they shit up
They homie gone, got his name still they contacts
His mama on dope again and she relapsed
Them and they partnas put R.I.P. in they bio
Vow to revenge death on the Bible
It's bad and it's ugly, it's on on sight
The streets be talkin' and watchin'
What's in the dark gon' come to light
The perpetrators think they cowards and they squibble
What they fail to realize is they got some change on their hair
The youth activists try to do what they can and extend their hand
With non-profit organizations and guns buy back programs
It's only so much they can do, they used to be like them
Back and forth to juvie, in and out the pen
The system's corrupted, want us to suffer
Designed for Black and Latinos, people of color
Karma used to take three years but it now it take 30 seconds
And it's a blessing to be living, ain't no question
Act like you forgot about it, let some months go by
Let everything just simmer down
And just when them niggas think you let that shit go
Slide through and wake they shit up
Act like you forgot about it, let some months go by
Let everything just simmer down
And just when niggas think you let that shit go
Slide through and wake they shit up, they shit up
Yeah, I kick back about 90 days
I ain't trippin' off niggas, man, I'm out the way
Got a bunch of dirty work out in San Jose
WhatsApp if you ever tryna run the play
Heard numbers goin' up, we ain't givin' in
Never fold, I was told that ain't how you win
Strategize, map it out 'fore you blap it out
Couple hundred on the floor, we'll pack it out
When I move through the city I be on the dolo
Most likely with a bag, I don't do the po-po
Hellcat with a stick 'cause you never know though
Got my own damn back with the forty four-four
If you really into game then you really know this
When shit be goin' good that's when niggas get hit
It could be your own hood, set you up with a bitch
Sniper on the roof and he fully equipped with clips
Act like you forgot about it, let some months go by
Let everything just simmer down
And just when them niggas think you let that shit go
Slide through and wake they shit up
Act like you forgot about it, let some months go by
Let everything just simmer down
And just when niggas think you let that shit go
Slide through and wake they shit up, they shit up (Ooh)
It take a fool to catch a fool, that's what they say
But nowadays, anybody can get the AK
AR-15, create a crime scene
All it take is some gouda to formulate a team
Some of these fools is bad news
Some of these fools get down but some don't think about they dudes
They loved ones, they cousins, they next of kin
They mommies, they daddies, they baby mamas and they kids (Ooh)
Get caught in the crossfire
Funkin' over these bitches, these bitches be liars
Don't be tellin' her all your business, you could get flat like a tire
She scandalous and she vicious, get you sent to the Kaiser
She fuckin' him, she fuckin' him, she fuckin' him
At the same time, she robbin' him
Karma used to take three years but now it take 30 seconds
And it's a blessing to be living, ain't no question
Act like you forgot about it, let some months go by
Let everything just simmer down
And just when them niggas think you let that shit go
Slide through and wake they shit up
Act like you forgot about it, let some months go by
Let everything just simmer down
And just when niggas think you let that shit go
Slide through and wake they shit up, they shit up
Wake they shit up
Wake they shit up
Wake they shit up
Wake they shit up
Let everything just simmer down
And just when them niggas think you let that shit go
Slide through and wake they shit up
Act like you forgot about it, let some months go by
Let everything just simmer down
And just when niggas think you let that shit go
Slide through and wake they shit up

Holiday
Bee Gees
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.

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms.
“Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
