Rent to the landlord baby, that's his business
That's his business, that's his business
Rent to the landlord baby, that's his business
That's his business, that's his business
Papa used to tell me it was the electric
The electric, the electric
Mama used to tell me it was so expensive
It's expensive just to live
And the money's always gone
My papa working so hard just to get paid
We make money, make money to spend
People want, people need 'cause it never ends
Now baby, it takes money, takes money my friend
People need, people want 'cause it never ends
Slip to the bottom of my empty pocket
Empty pocket, empty pocket
Slip to the bottom of my empty pocket
Empty pocket, empty pocket
Overdrawn again, feeling insufficient
Insufficient, insufficient
How many more times must I sing this song?
And the money's always gone
Mama working so hard just to get paid
We make money, make money to spend
People want, people need 'cause it never ends
Now baby, it takes money, takes money my friend
People need, people want because it never ends
Mama used to tell me it was, be electric
Be electric boy, be electric
Rent to the landlord baby, that's his business
That's his business, that's his business
How can I ever thank you, my girl?
When the money's always gone
Now I'm working so hard just to get paid
We make money, make money to spend
People want, people need 'cause it never ends
Now baby, it takes money, takes money to spend
People need, people want because it never ends, yeah
It takes money as everyone knows
Here it comes, there it goes, here it comes, there it goes
It takes money as everyone knows
Cost is high, pay is low, cost is high, pay is low
My mama working so hard just to get me by
How could I ever thank you, my girl?
That's his business, that's his business
Rent to the landlord baby, that's his business
That's his business, that's his business
Papa used to tell me it was the electric
The electric, the electric
Mama used to tell me it was so expensive
It's expensive just to live
And the money's always gone
My papa working so hard just to get paid
We make money, make money to spend
People want, people need 'cause it never ends
Now baby, it takes money, takes money my friend
People need, people want 'cause it never ends
Slip to the bottom of my empty pocket
Empty pocket, empty pocket
Slip to the bottom of my empty pocket
Empty pocket, empty pocket
Overdrawn again, feeling insufficient
Insufficient, insufficient
How many more times must I sing this song?
And the money's always gone
Mama working so hard just to get paid
We make money, make money to spend
People want, people need 'cause it never ends
Now baby, it takes money, takes money my friend
People need, people want because it never ends
Mama used to tell me it was, be electric
Be electric boy, be electric
Rent to the landlord baby, that's his business
That's his business, that's his business
How can I ever thank you, my girl?
When the money's always gone
Now I'm working so hard just to get paid
We make money, make money to spend
People want, people need 'cause it never ends
Now baby, it takes money, takes money to spend
People need, people want because it never ends, yeah
It takes money as everyone knows
Here it comes, there it goes, here it comes, there it goes
It takes money as everyone knows
Cost is high, pay is low, cost is high, pay is low
My mama working so hard just to get me by
How could I ever thank you, my girl?

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”

Magical

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.
This is the first song that I heard from Pepper, and at first I didn't really care for it as much as I do now. The previous song that was my number one was "Bring Me Along." Then one night when I was on the path of never waking up the next morning, this song care on. When I heard it, for what I thought was going to be my last, the song became clear to me. My interpretation of this song was visualizing Kaleo as a little child, who's adolescent parents "unfortunately" had a child who were unprepared both mentally and financially. Which brings me to the point of the first verse which states, " Rent to the Landlord baby, that's his business..." Which would mean that there was a question that generated this answer. Which would mean that Kaleo would have asked his parents " where is the money going?" Of course his parents did not want to hell him that the truth of why they were alway short on money, but the truth of the matter is that the baby was where all the money was going. So his parents would come up with these excuses to turn him away from the truth like it was the electric, or rent that cost so much money. Which with all the frustration that the parents were going through they all would argue and fight including the now grown teen child. Now that Kaleo is all grown up saying, " slip to the bottom of my empty pockets.." realizing that living in this world is hard, having to work hard like his parents. So this song is set out to let his parents know that he understands that whatever fighting or lying that happen was to protect him in the long run. "How could I ever thank you, My girl" meaning you will always be my mom no matter what happened andi could never do what you did. Of course his ma is telling him to be electric, setting goals, and achieving greatness, Music and singing. This is what I thought the song was trying to get out to the public, as right now my mom and I do not have a great relationship. Growing up poor with a lot of brothers with parents that could barely scrap by. I do understand like Kaleo does
