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.
Now why you gotta cramp my style
You kep fuckin' with my high now I'm bout to get wild
Now why you gotta harass the pot dealer
Harass the people at expired parking meters
Why you gotta pull me over
As if I was the dude in the stolen Nova
Now why you gotta badge on your chest
Sting gun on your hip
and a bulletproof vest
Now why you gotta act like you save the people
You front and you kid just so we can feel equal
Now why you gotta read me my rights
Would you read 'em to your wife
Fuck no Jesus Christ
Now why you gotta hang cuff me tight
In the middle of the night
Treat me like a murder type
Now why you gotta, gotta, gotta nuttin
Gotta get out my face
Bitch I know you like Dunkins
[Hook]
Tell me why
You want to fuck with me
(Why you gotta)
Is it because I'm a Kottonmouth King
(Why you gotta)
No time for negivitity
So tell me why its always you against me
To the men,women and children
That are catchin or feelin'
Know what I'm dealin what is delt with
Felt up in the melt
The laws ???????? flowin liquidfying lava
We could be makin it harder
Listen up and try to follow
Now, Why you gotta pull me over in my van
Give a ticket for gram it cost bout a grand
And why you gotta slow the fuck out your roll
I know I'm not speedin I'm in cruise control
So now you gotta find another reason why
You can stop flashin your lights
don't have to viloate my rights ah
No you don't have let me say your alone
Pigs bust in your home guns drawn to your dome
Why you gotta have a chip on your shoulder
passed the ?????? test I said I was sobber
I thought I told ya don't try to pull this on me
I know between procedure and police brutality
So tell me why, you insult me and gain stupidity
Why you think your smarter cause you GED
I get high and fly I don't drink and drive
And you fuckin with my flight so I gotta ask why
Tell me why
You want to fuck with me
(why you gotta)
Is it because I'm a Kottonmouth King
(why you gotta)
No time for negitivity
So tell me why its always you against me
Now everytime I turn the corner
Cops all up in my business
Always tryin plan shit, Let me get a witness
Its gettin serious and funny to me
Another day another ticket takin money from me
Now they'd try to pull us over
cause were bangin the bus
The Fish, Johnny Richter, myself and The Judge
Who can you trust when the worlds crupt
Its got the crokked ass cops that put my ass in cuffs
Whys the police always stressin other people
They say protect and serve yet the never treat us equal
All across the nation people strivin to be equal
Another uprisin they don't want to see the sequal
Why you think you don't need no invitation
They rushed up in my house it was a fucked up situation
Tearin' up my pad searchin for the cultivation
Justified these actions through your racist legislation
The thinker can't remember ever slippin in some shit
Windin up behind some bars with purple rings around my wrists
Havin' to wait 10 hours just to take a fuckin piss
When your name is just a number as a person you don't exist
When you realize that no one really gives a fuck
When you finally realize when you start to get back up
To many people I know for bullshit got locked up
To many times I asked why so now I gotta say wha
Tell me why
You want to fuck with me
(why you gotta)
Is it because I'm a Kottonmouth King
(why you gotta)
No time for negitivity
So tell me why its always you against me
Why you gotta
Why you why you gotta
tell me why
Why you gotta why you gotta gotta gotta

@[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.
Plastic Bag

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.
It's about how authorities are always after them. Fuck 5-0!
