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.
I'm out of this world, not your run of the mill'n
My name is furl, I'm the owner of the bill'n
I'm a stoner and I'm chillin with two bitches like Jack
I pimps and I macks drive a Benz and a 'lac
Man I've been in the back wit the groupies and the stars
I've been out front with the thugs in the cars
I've been in the yard with the Mexican mafia
And I only run with niggaz that'll kill and die for ya
I'm popular, I'm a rap star
But I live like a rock star running from the cop cars
I drop bars wit slaps that Knock hard and I charge for this dick extra large
I'm sicker than sars higher than mars and I treat my bitch like an ATM card
I'm in the buildin' and I'm feelin' myself
Man I'm feelin' myself
I'm in the buildin' and I'm feelin' myself
Man I'm feelin' myself
I'm in the buildin' and I'm feelin' myself
Man I'm feelin' myself
I'm in the buildin' and I'm feelin' myself
Man I'm feelin' myself
She's in the buildin and she's feelin herself
She's lookin bad but I'm willing to help
Stop it baby your killin yourself
Come on I got your back you could chill in my dealth
I'm feelin myself too
Man imagine some of the things we can do
You under me
Me under you
Then we can catch the Liquor store before 2
We can hit my nigga and go get some shrooms
And if you still want to kick it we can go get a room
It won't cost you much
I'm a good buy
Dick-on-discount bitch good bye
What I look like mr. Frank Fuck for Free
No Dough Hoe you can't fuck with me
Get the fuck out
Bitch you still in my dealth
You full of shit and I'm feelin myself
I'm in the buildin' and I'm feelin' myself
Man I'm feelin' myself
I'm a Westcoast Bad Boy
I represent it
Dre that's a bad toy is it rented
Hardy har har very funny
You don't hear my tummy
I gets my money
My stomache ain't growlin'
I'm stylin and wilin' drinkin' Vodka straight Fuck a Long Island
I want my own Island bet you I'm a get it
I switch hits and play with both mits
I pack a 4 5th I'm after your bitch
He ain't doing it right she's after your scritch
And I'm after hers with these macking words nerd
I thought squares stayed sharp
Your nothing but a mark in a bucket Sky Lark
I'm playing my part
I'm mr. Furly
Quit interrupting I'm talkin to your gurlie
I'm in the buildin' and I'm feelin' myself
Man I'm feelin' myself
My name is furl, I'm the owner of the bill'n
I'm a stoner and I'm chillin with two bitches like Jack
I pimps and I macks drive a Benz and a 'lac
Man I've been in the back wit the groupies and the stars

Man I'm feelin' myself
I'm in the buildin' and I'm feelin' myself
Man I'm feelin' myself
I'm in the buildin' and I'm feelin' myself
Man I'm feelin' myself
I'm in the buildin' and I'm feelin' myself
Man I'm feelin' myself

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/

Amazing
Ed Sheeran

Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
