I'm surprised this isn't mentioned yet, but "bread and oranges" is the food they give you in jail. along with peanut butter. my interpretation is that not only is she willing to live in poverty for love, but also that she doesn't mind going to jail for/with her lover. because her lyrics often reference illegal drug use, and the man she loved (in her real life) was an addict/dealer. many of her songs reference a man named K who went to prison. "Prison isn't nothing to me if you'll be by my side" - Florida Kilos "Now he's in a jail cell for some thirty years now" - Drive By "Prison isn't going to keep me from you/I won't tell a single soul that you cry at night, Sit in single cells, holdin' that pillow tight" - TV in Black and White "I don't care if you're goin' to prison" - Gangsta Boy "Cause he knows I'm wasted, Facing time again at Riker's Island" - Off to the Races "All those special times I spent with you, my love, They don't mean shit compared to all your drugs" - Pretty When I Cry |
