This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
And I've got
And I've got
And I rock
Clap ya hands to this one
And I've got
OK
Not for one minute did I ever doubt you
Always holding it down for my crew
Cats be like ooooooo
And I dig everything about you
And I've got soul for all my people
And I've got crew support that don't fold
And I rock this till I'm grey and old
And I've got you with me so let's roll
Like a used steelo pad that's sitting in my hand
Man it still feels the same but it ain't do the job
They came to take it off these girls in tank tops
Like my man Gareth P we came to crush rocks
Shoot hoops with jump shots and groove in high tops
We work like tape opps music something I've got
We put our foot to the pedal and the pedal to the metal
But the channel ain't changed it's Rap not Heavy Metal
Went and lost my licence once for speeding
Quickness is the thing the Fast Crew be needing
Too damn hot!! Since ya momma¡'s breast feeding
Got you in your nappies when your mouth be teething
Old school feel got your ears receiving
Beeping on your cell phones and fax machines and
Leaving it to me you best be believing
Throwing these punches get down it's duck season
Not for one minute did I ever doubt you
Always holding it down for my crew
Cats be like ooooooo
And I dig everything about you
And I've got soul for all my people
And I've got crew support that don't fold
And I rock this till I'm grey and old
And I've got you with me so let's roll
I've been rolling since back in the days of skateboards
Still my money ain't changed still making these acorns
Still the clan blazon we started moving our feet
No more using bluetack to make ends meet
No more saying like who's that and when do we meet
It's about meeting the snare highhats and the beat
Shake hands with the bassline it's rhyme over matter
Still seeing these sails like gathered at a regatta
And I've got plenty of time but never late
I cleverly time every rhyme that I make
And never mistake me for a liar or a fake
And if you want to hate, well Yippeekaiyai mutha...
Skipping my way come now follow the leaders
The words in my rapbook digest the readers
So let's bang another rap bonanza
Blow it up yeah I'd just like to thank ya
We be rockin at the corner store
And down to the taxi stand
We be rockin with the crew
Say who could ask for more
'cause you know that we do it we can
We be rockin like everyday
And it stays the same
Like they do at the Holiday Inn
We be rockin till six am
And that's just when we begin
Come on
And I've got
And I've got
And I rock
And I've got
Oh you forgot we're the cream of the crop so let's do it
We be -bang something solid so ya can't see through it
Mix ya head up with some alcoholic fluid
I concoct something on the rocks like a druid
We're not doing this but doing it for ears
Got plenty of beats rhymes and plenty of beers
All inhouse ain't got any of theirs
And it don't stop all for the love of Hip Hop
It's the Fast Crew coming whether you're ready or not
Girls grab a guy do ya dance show me what ya got
It's a match made in Heaven manage a trois
With a fat beat a dope rhyme and an acoustic guitar
And I got more dollars and cents than a thief
I rock so many mikes I got chipped front teeth
And I can tell by the gleam in ya eye why ya looking
That yeah you can smell what the Fast Crew is cooking
Not for one minute did I ever doubt you
Always holding it down for my crew
Cats be like ooooooo
And I dig everything about you
And I've got soul for all my people
And I've got crew support that don't fold
And I rock this till I'm grey and old
And I've got you with me so let's roll
Not for one minute did I ever doubt you
Always holding it down for my crew
Cats be like hot dam!
And I dig everything about you
And I've got soul for all my people
And I've got crew support that don't fold
And I rock this till I'm grey and old
And I've got you with me so let's roll
And I've got
And I rock
Clap ya hands to this one
And I've got
OK
Not for one minute did I ever doubt you

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
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.
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.
