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”
I keep my cup raised up my nigga 'cause I'm a playa
Nigga 'cause I'm a playa, nigga 'cause I'm a playa
My dollars stay stackin' and nigga 'cause I'll be mackin'
Nigga 'cause I'll be mackin', nigga 'cause I'll be mackin'
I keep my cup raised up my nigga 'cause I'm a playa
Nigga 'cause I'm a playa, nigga 'cause I'm a playa
My dollars stay stackin' and nigga 'cause I'll be mackin'
Nigga 'cause I'll be mackin', nigga 'cause I'll be mackin'
I'm just out here slangin' CDs nigga like rock for rockers
Still rollin' hypnotize, we quick to knock off yo' blocker
Blastin' nothin' but choppers, nigga we non-stoppers
Whippin' up this cream, real mean like Betty Crocker
The guts icy white tin, leather is what I'm lik-in'
Pull up chrome rims, didn't holla, she must be dykin'
Like she didn't see the colors change, colors on my paint job
Just like all the colors on my ice in my wrist watch
Pimps scarred, nothin' but some conversation for some dough
Slangin' these words out my mouth like I'm sellin' snow
Tellin' no lies, compromise, only cheese wise
If ya try to cross, real killers then you must die
I keep my cup raised up my nigga 'cause I'm a playa
Nigga 'cause I'm a playa, nigga 'cause I'm a playa
My dollars stay stackin' and nigga 'cause I'll be mackin'
Nigga 'cause I'll be mackin', nigga 'cause I'll be mackin'
I keep my cup raised up my nigga 'cause I'm a playa
Nigga 'cause I'm a playa, nigga 'cause I'm a playa
My dollars stay stackin' and nigga 'cause I'll be mackin'
Nigga 'cause I'll be mackin', nigga 'cause I'll be mackin'
Mackaroni Pretty Tony Snow keep it poppin'
Movin' to the Internet, keep that pussy droppin'
Mob it up, slop it up, see the ball chop it up
Whip it up, sit down on that meat I'm fit' to push it up
If that game was over I'd get some work and cook it up
Wanna show let's rook it up, you want a beat I'll hook it up
We run the streets I seen a part up in the shit I took it up
She wanted me to hit her pussy I'ma go off in her butt
What you gon' do, when that thang go to fightin'?
I'ma lay ya deep off in them hoes, them hoes be boppin'
Tellin' me to stop but bitch, I ain't fit' to stop it
Ya pussy is a pit bull bitch, gon' and lock it
Fuckin' 'round wit' me I knock ya thang up outta socket
Ya ho wanna look at me, ya bitch is outta pocket
Flyin' in the Bentley gettin' it sucked just like a rocket
Pimp see bitch I got a zoo off in my closet
I keep my cup raised up my nigga 'cause I'm a playa
Nigga 'cause I'm a playa, nigga 'cause I'm a playa
My dollars stay stackin' and nigga 'cause I'll be mackin'
Nigga 'cause I'll be mackin', nigga 'cause I'll be mackin'
I keep my cup raised up my nigga 'cause I'm a playa
Nigga 'cause I'm a playa, nigga 'cause I'm a playa
My dollars stay stackin' and nigga 'cause I'll be mackin'
Nigga 'cause I'll be mackin', nigga 'cause I'll be mackin'
Cruisin' Chelsea Avenue, in the hood it's a sunny day
Junts out, walkin' miniskirts, let them bunnies play
Money stay in a nigga's pocket wrapped in rubber bands
Seven hundred ones wit' 'bout seventy Benjamins
Understand couple hollow jackets in the barrel
Make a wild nigga wanna walk a straight and narrow
My dogs strapped on point, God we like the pharaoh
My hundred shots, comin' out the mouth of the calico
Yeah' know, mayne a nigga do's what he gon' do
I'm lookin' for some beef but the kind at a barbecue
Comin' through, flickin' old school, Box Chevy thang
Ridin' twenty two's on you fools, let the system bang
I keep my cup raised up
Nigga 'cause I'm a playa, nigga 'cause I'm a playa
My dollars stay stackin' and nigga 'cause I'll be mackin'
Nigga 'cause I'll be mackin', nigga 'cause I'll be mackin'
I keep my cup raised up my nigga 'cause I'm a playa
Nigga 'cause I'm a playa, nigga 'cause I'm a playa
My dollars stay stackin' and nigga 'cause I'll be mackin'
Nigga 'cause I'll be mackin', nigga 'cause I'll be mackin'
I'm just out here slangin' CDs nigga like rock for rockers
Still rollin' hypnotize, we quick to knock off yo' blocker

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.

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.

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.
