Yeah
What's up, baby?
I ain't tryna do nothing but get my grown man on
I ain't tryna hurt you
Only if you want me to
Haha
Yeah, something like that

Yeah, what's happening, baby? I'm Lil Wayne from New Orleans
Fresh out the navy, now the captain of my own team
Hop in this machine, vanish from the scene
Goddammit, I'm so mannish, handle it like a standard
So put your panties and your pants by the trash can
Romance on the floor plans, yeah
We hold hands while we're rolling
Just tryna keep up with the program
Just tryna sneak up on you like, "How you doing, ma'am?"
I'm a old soul and a young man, we got to it and
We didn't stop 'til the birds hit the block
And she ain't never had it like that, haha

Girl, you are so fine
I wish that I could get you over here, girl
Tonight, so I
Could get my grown man on with you
You don't know about it, I'm on my grown man
You don't know about it, I'm on my grown man
You don't know about it, I'm on my grown man
You don't know about it, I'm on my grown man

Now I don't really hit the club, but tonight I'll make an exception
For some reason, I can't seem to keep my eyes out your direction
I'm looking at you so hard, I could probably catch a charge
Feeling the way you walk, when you move, your booty applauds
Damn, I gotta keep my composure
Gotta attack my mission, handle business like a soldier
Young man, Young Money, but the money long
Curren$y the Hot Spitta so grown (so grown)
And your perception of me is so wrong
Don't worry 'bout what you heard 'bout me and them other birds
Might have done a little dirt and left a few of 'em hurt
But whatever has occurred, they all got what they deserved, huh
And you don't rock like them, I can see it in your eyes
If you ain't good for me, then you're wearing a disguise
'Cause tonight, you're looking like Miss Right
And I swore to be a player for life, but I'll change for you

Girl, you are so fine
I wish that I could get you over here, girl
Tonight, so I
Could get my grown man on with you
You don't know about it, I'm on my grown man (you are so fine)
You don't know about it (I wish that I could get you over here, girl)
I'm on my grown man (girl, tonight)
You don't know about it, I'm on my grown man (so I)
You don't know about it, I'm on my grown man (could get my grown man on with you)

Yeah, you ain't a woman, you're a baby girl living in a ladies' world
And I'm a grown man, the women understand
See, what I go through is what I owe you
So you should throw that ass back to me right now, yeah
Fly boy, baby, sit back, relax, and
Cruise with a nigga, destination "Satisfaction"
Now whose is it, baby? She say, "Weezy fucking Baby"
I say, "Yes in-fucking-deed," she say, "Don't you ever leave"
I say, I say, "But I got money on my mind"
Then I tell her nevermind and we do it one more time, yeah
For a large amount of time
Long and won't stop 'til daytime come home, yeah

Girl, you are so fine
I wish that I could get you over here, girl
Tonight, so I
Could get my grown man on with you
You don't know about it, I'm on my grown man (you are so fine)
You don't know about it (I wish that I could get you over here, girl)
I'm on my grown man (girl, tonight)
You don't know about it, I'm on my grown man (so I)
You don't know about it, I'm on my grown man (could get my grown man on with you)

Damn, look, haha
That, oh, that right there?
That's the sunset, girl
Get your visor
Where's those Chanel shades I get you?
You're always losing things
And I'm always buying new things, haha
I've come a long way, huh? Remember, remember that block?
Look at you, you think you're all grown, haha

You ain't a woman, you're a baby girl living in a ladies' world
And I'm a grown man, the women understand
See, what I go through is what I owe you
And you should throw that ass back to me right now

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
