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.
Intro & Verse 1: Busta Rhymes
Yeah, shorty, let me hit you with no delayin watch me do it again
I know shorty was with it the way she threw at her friends
I turned around and then gave a pound to all of my men
And peeped my mami send this through watchin me with a grin
You know it's funny the way my shorty was playin kinda hard
The way she lookin mami itchin to give it good to the God
She hit me off in the crib and hit me off in the yard
Her mind right keepin it live of the half these other broads
I'm fuckin with ya
Syleena Johnson:
I know that I made you wait (For a very long time)
Cause I wasn't ready baby (For you to come inside)
Wanted you to know my name (And not just what's between my thighs)
I wanted you to play the game (Because I knew you get the prize)
But the game is over baby (The more you need to fantasize)
Cause I'm not letting go (So come and put your lips on mine)
I won't even hesitate (Oh no baby not this time)
I'm gonna give you all my lovin (And I'll make up for lost time)

But I cant help that I've been feenin lately

Little Feat
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”
Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
