This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
One, two, what'cha wanna do
Three, four, cuz we're gonna give you more
Five, six, and we ain't the tricks
Seven, eight, and we got it straight
Nine, ten, cuz we make it blend
Eleven, twelve, never ever goin for self
Tribe called quest situation
Check it out
Power, people really get caught with this on different levels
Power controls your life
Money: the companion of the first, some people tend to worship
And we know this ain't right
Attitude (attitude) is how I get my point across
You can't call yourself an mc if you know that you're soft
Aggressive, is how the stage is approached, I burn mcs like toast
Cuz I'm the host with the most
Illin (illin) is what you do when you're assin
Whether it be you or all up in your fashion,
Cashin, it turns your people corrupt
It's six o'clock, yo, you gotta get your weight up
Sex(sex), either a man or a woman
It's a gender, or when lovers get down
Froggin, when niggas try to play roles
But when they really need to put that shit background
Miserable(miserable) is what your whole crew will be
If you're not original and you show no strategy
Heavenly, is how the track tends to flow
And if you don't know, tell em diggy said so
We livin this cuz it's deep in our bones
A tribe called quest with this hip hop jones
So sit and analyze the lyrical spray
Cuz all it really is is word play(word play)(word)
Willie, that's what I kick to get this millie on a lilly
Now, I'm baggin dimes like chilli
Stress (stress), that's what I always go through
Cuz it's survival of the fittest on the 192
Knowledge, when the mind accept facts
On this plane of livin, knowledge be the key, black
Understanding, gettin a grip on what's revealed
When shit be real, can't give understanding back
Analyze, that's what I do to mcs
That be talkin bout they this and that, money please
Ego, I'm on my own jock skill
Cuz if I don't say I'm the best, tell me who the hell will
Cheeba smoke y'all, that's what I use to get high
When I'm in a rut and I don't know why
Try, yo try again my friend
Cuz you can't see this mc representin linden
Freestyle (freestyle), a true mc trait
And when you do it ill, niggas respect it as great
Yo, I gotta
We livin this cuz it's deep in our bones
A tribe called quest with the hip-hop jawns
So sit and analyze the lyrical spray
Cuz all it really is is word play(word play)
Three, four, cuz we're gonna give you more
Five, six, and we ain't the tricks
Seven, eight, and we got it straight
Nine, ten, cuz we make it blend
Eleven, twelve, never ever goin for self

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
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.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Holiday
Bee Gees

@[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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
