[Canibus]
I wake up in the morn’, turn my PlayStation on //
Just bought that NFL Blitz and that Basket-Ball //
I read the Vibe and Source, to see what’s going on //
I let my hair grow long, maybe braid it in the fall //
Whenever I get bored, I just jump in my car //
I go to Lennox Mall, and look for independent broads //
Sometimes I get a nod, they treat me like a scrub //
I go down to the schools, maybe I get more love //
Three P.M. in the evening, I’m on the highway speeding //
My front-left tires leaking, should have bought a new one last weekend //
I guess I wasn’t thinking, up ahead break-lights was blinking //
For more than thirty minutes I was stuck in gridlock prison //
This traffic drives me crazy, going West on two-eighty //
Five bitch almost made me, crash into her Mercedes //
I’m glad I almost missed her, I pushed the clutch and shifted //
It was a white-lady, I’d rather hit a sister //
‘Cause see, I know the system, it’s easier to trick them //
I use my G to pimp them, then convince I’m the victim //
Nah baby, you hit me, no I was in lane three //
You need some contacts you can’t see, no girl don’t blame me //
Don’t panic just be patient, give the bitch the wrong information //
She’ll probably never claim it, scared of high insurance payments //
I love my home Atlanta, I love my home Atlanta //
I love my home Atlanta, I love my home Atlanta //

[Canibus]
The land of pretty peaches, them girls with round features //
Make a nigga say, “Good Jesus,” them Georgia dime-pieces //
Started off like, “What’s your name? Tell me, what’s your age? //
You got a man? Can we be friends?” //
I’m glad you feel that way, come on and ride with me //
I take you to that Crunk bar where them sharks eat //
Five-star baby, bon-appetite //
I got that shrimp appetizer with that dog meat //
If shorty want to creep, I bring her home with me //
Just bought some candles and that Carl Thomas CD //
Bootleg that Jay-Z, stole that OutKast //
Been have that Keith Sweat, I know how to make it last //
Smack that naked ass, she got a big butt //
I ain’t in no rush, plus she likes it rough //
Kinky stuff like, leather and handcuffs //
And them thangs you wrap around a man’s you-know-what //
That’s why I love Atlanta, I can hardly stand-up //
I’m a heavy drinker, fix me a cup and sinker //
I always love Atlanta, that’s why I love Atlanta //
I love my home Atlanta, I love my home Atlanta //

[Canibus]
As a young child I was so damn bad //
Used to drive up the Ave with no tags //
Niggas couldn’t see me, I was going so fast //
Most niggas catch whiplash and crash //
Face all chipped up from the glass //
Running from the police hauling ass //
If I get caught, I just give them some cash //
Most police give me dap and laugh //
Other ones pull up behind the flash //
Take a nightstick and tap the glass //
Tell me, “Turn the music down,” it’s on blast //
Turn the engine off ‘cause I’m wasting gas //
Tell them that I’m lost and I need a map //
Looking for a hotel to take a nap //
Freaknik, officer, I came for that //
It was good last year that’s why I’m back //
That’s when he tried to hit me //
His big fist barely miss me //
I have my camera with me //
I think I’ll sue the city //
I love this place Atlanta //
That’s why I love Atlanta //
I love my home Atlanta //
I love my home Atlanta //

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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”

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[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.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Just A Little Lovin'
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/
