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”
Shayton never came so ill, he got skill
met a brother from the drill that gave my spine chills
all.. thirty three nerves controllin my curves
common sense just swerved everytime I got served
stress, frustration, empty rhetoric
cold as winter in Conneticut
compassion lackin deficit
thought it was love life, sent from above
you not a soulmate
more ways and actions of a crimate
who by low and census comin faker than extentions
pistol way offed in intentions outta here sister was missin
intuition baby it was me I couldn't see
holdin onto fantasy, gettin bitten by reality
[chorus]
war wound, purple heart, love veteran
morphine, pain killers, drugs and medicine
anything just to forget the hurt, INCOMING...
take cover hit the dirt
on the frontline, there's casualities in the mind
and the POW's get left behind
mentally scarred for life, love is war
and some chics are just too hard to wife
I shoulda debtted it from Genisis
instead of hittin them Guinnesses
now I'm free fallin cursin at the street brawlin
he cease callin, no appetite for free stallin
so deep all in, I bet he never stop ballin
women, forsake God for the scent of a man
sacrifice I hold life for a slice, overstand?
maybe it's a lack of pigment
loneliness imagine figment
ownly got the car tinted to pull extra G's in it
damn Jody... comin with the okie doke, pokie poke
steady rockin boats, got me aimin for ya throats
sniper scope, weren't we supposed to elope?
propose then ya froze, I don't think that I can cope
[chorus]
constant frustration, stemmin from a no win situation
rushin lust and fornication, adding to the complication
patience is a virtue, pain run deep with love desert you
listenin to wisperin, choosin chaos over discipline
simpleton, life should really be a piece of intimance
relationships swiftin in
flower essence: penstemon
gentlemen, my favorite shit, so I never forsaken it
I presevere, make it fit, sculptin and reshapin it
takin sips off a fifth and if passionate
inscense incenses candles lit, scandalous
emotional bandages, why would he abandon us?
guess he couldn't handle it, the boss is magnanimous

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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
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.
This is terrible...also I think crimate is supposed to be primate? anyone? I could be wrong but i don't think I am.
