| Bruno Mars – Young Girls Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| Also, when he speaks of “young” girls, he could also mean “new” relationships. The want for something new is also a high some people seek. Butterflies, weak knees, and rapid heart beats aren't typically associated with established relationships. | |
| Bruno Mars – Young Girls Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
To fully comprehend the lyrics in this song, you have to understand or have experience dealing with serious addiction. In this particular instance, Bruno has an "addiction" to young, pretty girls. However, the keyword here is GIRLS (as in more than one). He knows what's right: one man, one woman--holy matrimony. However, he can't seem to fight off his strong inclination to promiscuity. Bruno isn't boasting. In fact, the tone of the song is very somber. His addictive tendencies hurt others around him as well as himself because ultimately, he realizes true love can't be found unless he changes. It's an introspective look at why he can't seem to find happiness. Brilliant! |

| Lupe Fiasco – The Show Goes On Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
They say hip-hop only destroy Tell 'em look at me, boy! I hope your son don't have a gun and never be a D-boy Being a new father, this line really touched me. Hip hop's subject matter is normally pretty consistent with drugs, misogyny, and murder--basically anything negative is portrayed as positive. But growing up in the 80's and 90's, this was the music I was exposed to so they are my classics. Would I ever let my son listen to them? Hell NO! That being said, hip hop music is an art and it does take a considerable amount of talent to get people to enjoy what you produce. I would hate to deprive my son of such talent. I'm just happy that Lupe is helping hip hop evolve more positively. So who cares if he's accused of selling out? His true fans should realize they became fans because of his lyrics. And to understand everything that he says, they would have had to do a little research. What kid wants to do research on rap lyrics? Normally, they're just happy with a good hook and a beat. I applaud him for making his music more accessible because this is the kind of music you want on the radio. He's building a foundation for new fans to see his true talent. |

| Eminem – Space Bound Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Not only is Eminem a master at multies, metaphors and similes, but he's also a master at flow. None more evident than on this song. Perfect example is how he builds up his rapping speed in the first verse to have it come to an abrupt halt when he compares her to a supernova, which in essence are how supernovas react. Genius! | |
| Eminem – No Love (feat. Lil Wayne) Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Those are all very good references. But I think you're giving Lil Wayne way too much credit. As a punchline rapper, he's one of the best. I just think he gets lucky with some of the deeper underlying meanings of his lyrics. Just keep in mind that when he records, it's usually under the influence and it's usually freestyle. That in itself is a feat, but to say that he came up with all these thought-provoking references about Eminem on-the-fly is quite hard to believe. | |
| Eminem – Seduction Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| That was interesting reading jaymc & EminemJayZFan4Ev. That just shows how great of an artist Eminem is to leave such a song as this (which I thought was clearly a blow at Nick Cannon myself) up for personal interpretation. Rap songs normally don't have this kind of depth. For fans to go through the trouble of researching an artist's history and background to find an underlying meaning shows you just how much depth there really is in a song. | |
| Eminem – Not Afraid Lyrics | 15 years ago |

| Eminem – Beautiful Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| like a lot of you, on initial listen, this was my favorite song off the album. after listening to it more and more, it's become one of my least favorites. don't get me wrong. the serious content that you wish was in the rest of the album is there. but the lyrical structure dips compared to the rest of the songs. his flow is hardly consistent here and his multisyllables and wordplay aren't very impressive. but i swear, the worst part about it is his singing. some of you may like it but i think his singing is more annoying than his accents (which have actually grown on me). i guess that's the price you have to pay: lyrical structure vs. lyrical content. lol. man, i hope Relapse 2 gives us the best of both worlds. | |
| Eminem – Same Song and Dance Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| No man. He's referring to a Nickelodean awards show where Lindsay flashed the little kids. I don't know if that's true or not but he isn't talking about Lindsay's little kids because as you said, she doesn't have any. And Britney WAS a school girl in her very first solo video out as an artist in "Baby, One More Time." | |

Does that mean something in particular? Just wondering. Cool song. Quirky lyrics but it seems intentional. Love this chick! |

| Howie Day – You and a Promise Lyrics | 16 years ago |

Whoo! That just gave me goose bumps! I mean, I've always loved this song but it never really made any sense to me. Thanks for mentioning abortion. It all ties together so perfectly now. I could never really understand who he was talking to or what that whole last little conversation was about. "I'll always be there for you, call me anytime" [The man is calling since the woman has rejected him from her life.] "I don't mean to offend, the voice on the other end is a stranger to me" [This is the woman answering with only one line. In this one line, she summarizes their relationship. She wants nothing to do with him.] How he sings that last line is just so powerful. Man, awesome delivery and lyrics! |

| Chris Walla – Sing Again Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Politics... that's all this really is. Specifically, a call to vote. It's gotta be. And here's why: You can be content on being ignorant in politics. You can complain about how things are run in the country. But if you keep it to yourself, how will anyone ever know? Tricks in the form of lies are told by the government. If you really cared at all, you'd make a move to stop it. Let your voice be heard. If you aren't satisfied, band together with others who share the same opinions as you. Now when you complain, they will have no choice but to listen. Along the way, there will be external noise in the form of propaganda to try to dissuade you from your original opinions. Stand strong. Eventually, there will be enough of you to break the hold that the old government has. All you have to do...is vote. You can live your life being ignorant to politics. But what Chris is saying is that it really can't be that easy if you cared about your country at all. Well that's my take. If anyone has an opinion about the South Dakota line, I'd love to hear it. My take is that South Dakota usually votes Republican so Chris has been driving through there (maybe not that literal) trying to change people's minds. I know. They only have 3 electoral votes, but like they say, "Every vote counts." |

| Lil' Wayne – I'm Me Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
You've got to be an idiot to not notice the layers to the song. All of his metaphors can be interpreted in so many ways. For instance: "Nigga, it's just me and my guitar, yea bitch I'm heavy metalin You can get the fucking Led Zepplin" Lil Wayne actually knows how to play the guitar so he's rockin' out. And he references Led Zeppelin, a legendary rock group. But he's also referring to the "lead" as gun shots. Idiot. Pay attention. Here's another one: "And I stay on my floor at Cash Money like a rug Tied to the fucking Birdman like a lug" Floor in this verse can also mean flow. He's saying that he's perfected his flow while being at Cash Money that it's not easy to displace him like a rug that stays steadily in place. My personal favorite: "Now I'm stuck here to deal with the house's pain. Fuck wit me I will peel like the house's paint" It's so obvious but so creative. I don't understand how anyone can't comprehend this. Fuck with him, he will let loose his glock (peeling shells) which also runs parallel to old paint that peels. Lil Wayne is very creative in his metaphors. I just wish he would actually sit down and write some of his verses. His lyrics are mostly comparisons and he tends to run off on a tangent. And about the Kevin Federline thing. He's not praising or dissing him. It went well with the metaphor of Britney compared to the rap game being crazy. That's it. There's nothing else you should try to delve into that. |

| The Game – LAX Files Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Wrong lyrics take away so much from the meaning of an incredible song. I agree with the above poster that The Game is explaining life in the hoods of L.A. But it goes in so much deeper than that. He explains the parallels between gangster movies and the real gang life that he's lived. He references the classic gang movies like Scarface and Casino to Boyz In The Hood and Menace II Society. First correction: "Seen Cuban boys in the hood and press rewind" "See Cube in Boyz In The Hood and press rewind" referencing Ice Cube as Doughboy in the 1991 classic, Boyz In The Hood. Second correction: "I know the real O-Dog And that nigga know the real Game I call him the rinse tape And he never been in no gang" "I know the real O-Dog And that nigga know the real Game I call him Larenz Tate And he ain't ever been in no gang" referencing Larenz Tate the actor playing the obstructive and careless O-Dog in Menace II Society. Third correction and I may be wrong but: "that's why we all take our hats off to you, the one blood" I really think he's saying: "That's why we all take our hats off to you for one more" since this is reportedly The Game's final album. How fitting that the world commends The Game on painting a portrait of real gang life one last time when gangster rap has lost its luster over the years. Very well put-together song. |

| Lil' Wayne – Mr. Carter Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| God, I love this song. Especially the reference to America's Best Dance Crew's Status Quo in the line "Far from average/Above Status Quo/Flow so pro". My question is: Do you think he's referring to Status Quo as being the best at what they do and that he's even better at what he does? Or is he comparing himself to the Jabbawokkeez who were the actual winners? | |
| Kanye West – Lollipop (Remix) Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Kanye is getting a lot better lyrically. He's always been a good producer and performer but it always seemed as if he tried too hard to come up with lyrics that were thought-provoking. I like this. It's playful and it has a lot of metaphors and wordplay. Lil Wayne is on point as usual. Can someone please explain to me what he means in his third stanza "This a song wit Wayne, so you know it's 'gon melt /But you ain't finna murder me like errbody else". Who's he talking bout? | |
| Usher – Moving Mountains Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Hah! Have y'all heard the whole album yet? There's a song on there called "Appetite." Just from this song and that one, you can obviously tell that Usher has a problem. "Moving mountains" to me is his struggle to stay faithful. He makes progress by climbing the mountain, but then he'll go and fuck everything up some way or another. He knows he's no good for her so he tells her to leave. But she loves him so she's willing to make it work. But it'll never work because she'll keep being bitter and untrustworthy. And like the playa he is, he'll fuck up all over again. Very personal lyrics. He bled his whole heart into this album. | |
| Lil' Wayne – I'm Me Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| There's so many layers to this song that it's not even funny. I'm VERY surprised no one has commented on it yet. Best line for me is "Mel Gibson flow, Lethal Weapon, Book 'em Danny' and "Fuck with me, I will peel like the house's paint". That's just absurd that a Southern boy that used to rap about bling has come such a long way from not just being catchy, but also intelligent. Big props to Wayne. He may well be on his way to his self-proclaimed status as the "best rapper alive". But let's wait till that album drops. | |
