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.
I'm sprung
Dog, she got me
Got me doin' things I'll never do
If you ain't been, I'm tellin' you
I'm sprung (I'm sprung)
Dog, she got me
Got me doin' things I'll never do
If you ain't been, I'm tellin' you
You do (you do)
You do (you do)
You do (you do)

(You do) do-do-do do do
(You do) do-do-do, do-do do-do
Ooh
She got me doin' the dishes
Anything she want for some kisses
I'm cookin' for her when she gets hungry
All she doin' is actin' like she want me
She cuttin' off all my homies
Even all my other ronis
She ain't even my main lady
See I been thinkin' bout it lately
Man she really don't deserve me
All she wanna do is hurt me
So I gotta get away from her
But now I'm leaving quickly
Before she come and try to kick me
And I'm takin' everything with me
Well, it all come down to how
I'm sprung
Dog, she got me
Got me doin' things I'll never do
If you ain't been, I'm tellin' you
I'm sprung (I'm sprung)

Ooh
So we went our separate ways
It's been a couple of days
But now I'm doin' what I want to
With nobody tellin' me what I'm gon' do
And I'm feelin' so free
With nobody but me, uh
Now I can handle all my business
All of my fellas, can I get a witness?
But I'm feelin' kinda lonely
On top of that, I'm kinda horny
Man, I gotta get back to her
But now I'm leaving quickly
Before she come and try to kick me
And I'm takin' everything with me
Well, it all come down to how
I'm sprung
Dog, she got me
Got me doin' things I'll never do
If you ain't been, I'm tellin' you

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.
I didn't like this song at first. But it definately grew on me. Even though it came out a while ago by now, i still things its a nice song. T-Pain, just like everyone says, is singing about falling for a girl so hard that it changed his behavior. Hehe, it's funny cuz I can somwhat relate to the feeling. But anyhow, this song gained even more meaning when I read that the song was a true story, that T-Pain had really fell for a girl and the song was written for her. In fact, he married the girl the song was written for! What a story!
