| CocoRosie – South 2nd Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| I think this is a song about what happened one day while some kids were playing stickball in new york (could have been a fantasy or a dream). But the first kid single handedly loses the game, then gets berrated by all other kids. Big brother (i.e. their societies perception of one's reputation on the street) is watching, therefore he has to stand up for himself, but the whole school is watching. Mama then tells his son to stand up for himself and beat up some kids (somebody's baby aint comin home tonight), but he has to be good at fighting (one wrong move and it will be too late, mama wont be making any birthday cake). | |
