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.
Let your arms shelter me from all hurt and pain
You light my heart with you’re everlasting flame
You old, no good, Tiger Woods, head-ass nigga
And the way things lookin’ you will never last
And you cum fast, nigga
He said, “I could explain: I don’t even know her name
I was with her for the brain”
Guess they all the same
If I was you, I wouldn’t rest up
She started smilin’, so you know your ass messed up
Called up her girls, took a shower, got dressed up
Walked out, text him and said, “I wish you the best luck”
Damn, this shit was all good just a week ago
Her heart got tight– started leaking slow
He had to call up his weekend hoe:
“Does she know about us?”
“No, but we can know”
He gave her his all
This idiot went and hit it raw
So good he started to fall
Too bad he couldn’t take no more
Let your arms shelter me from all hurt and pain
You light my heart with you’re everlasting flame
So, um, you on the search for a new love
She on the search for a new love
He want a pretty face, nice smile, big butt
She want a big car, big crib, big what??
They messed up cause they both stuck
They want the good things for all the wrong reasons
Got a crib together working part time
Together: that’s full time, so they both leaving
Livin’ at her mom’s and he at the Four Seasons
Where the curtains are so thin you can see in
Out of his window there’s a lotta niggas like him
Damn, they all got caught creepin’
One is like, “Right on, brother”
He went inside his room and threw on a rubber
His girl came in like, “What the??”
You shouldn’t have left the light on, brotha
Let your arms shelter me from all hurt and pain
You light my heart with you’re everlasting flame
Three years later, she got a kid on the way
She pray he ain’t born on that day
She met him or left him or sexed him or sexed him… or sex him
Talking all that shit– she gonn’ need a breath-mint
The truth is, she missed him, she text him:
“How you doin’?”
“What you doin’?”
“Who you doin’?”
He replied, “I’m doin good, doin me
You? And heard you got a kid now–
Congrats, Love
Tell Shaw you a good girl
Don’t act up”
They broke up, but I heard y’all was livin’ good
I found out she was getting smacked up
She had the baby, if not he’d have killed her
And when she do good, all he do was grill her
Follow your heart, girl, it’s realer
Let your arms shelter me from all hurt and pain
Light my heart with you’re everlasting flame
It feels so good to me
You light my heart with you’re everlasting flame
You old, no good, Tiger Woods, head-ass nigga
And the way things lookin’ you will never last
And you cum fast, nigga
He said, “I could explain: I don’t even know her name
I was with her for the brain”
Guess they all the same
If I was you, I wouldn’t rest up

Holiday

@[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 Can't Go To Sleep

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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
