Peace Out

[3lw]
Romeo (O.k. Parents Just Don't Understand)
Double That

[Nick Cannon]
Ah, ah

[Lil' Romeo]
You know parents are the same no matter time nor place
They don't understand that us kids are gonna make some mistakes
So to you, all the kids all across the land
There's no need to argue, parents just don't understand

[3lw]
Nah, Nah
They don't understand
They ain't gonna get it (o.k)
No, no, if you feel me (o.k)
feel me, feel me, feel me

[Nick Cannon]
Peace Out

[Lil' Romeo]
I remember one year
My mom took me school shopping
It was me, my brother, my mom, oh, my pop, and my little sister
All hopped in the car
and headed downtown to the Gallery Mall
My mom started bugging with the clothes she chose
I didn't say nothing at first
I just turned my nose
She said, "What's wrong? This shirt cost $50"
I said, "This shirt is whack and it's not worth it`s dollar!"
The next half hour was the same old thing
My mom buying me clothes from 1993
And then she lost her mind and did the ultimate
I asked her for Asissant and she bought me Skips!
I said, "Mom, whach you doin, you're ruining my rep"
She said, "You're only a kid, you don't have a rep yet"
So to you all the kids all across the land
There's no need to argue
Parents just don't understand

[3lw]
Nah, Nah (c'mon)
They don't understand (na ah, they don't understand)
They ain't gonna get it
No, no, if you feel me
(Holla all you kids all across the land)
Nah, Nah
They don't understand (na ah, they don't understand)
They ain't gonna get it
No, no, if you feel me
(Holla all you kids all across the land)

[Nick Cannon]
Peace out
Oh-kay, here's the situation
My mom's bounced out for a week's vacation and
She left the keys to the 5 double-o
would she mind
Well, how's she gonna know
I'll just give the benz a little spin
And see what it looks like with 20 inch rims
Then I be the man in my neighborhood
Well, maybe I shouldn't
Yeah, of course I should
Payin' attention, cuz the plot is hot
Yo, I pulled the whip up to the end of my block
That's when I saw this dom piece starin' at my grill
My dimond rings blarin' from the stearing wheel
Then she tried to pretend like she ain't noticed Nick
So I blow a kiss like a noticed chic
" uh,Was that for me?"
"Yeah, you know it hun
Come take a ride with the young Billy B. William."
"How do I know you're not sick?
You could be some kind of lunatic"
"Uh, c'mon sugar, it's Nick for Nick,
besides would a lunatic push a whip like this?"

[3lw]
Nah, Nah (c'mon)
They don't understand (na ah, they don't understand)
They ain't gonna get it
No, no, if you feel me
(Holla all you kids all across the land)

[3lw]
I agree that we were on our way
He was lookin real good and so was I i must say
Who's car is this?
I'm a little curious

[Nick Cannon]
So I smashed on the gas
Fast and furious

[3lw]
Wasn't impressed with the way he burned rubber
The car phone rang

[Nick Cannon]
"Yo, who is it?"

[3lw]
"Your mother"

[Nick Cannon]
On the phone wow , the way my mom sounded

[3lw & Nick Cannon]
There was no way to avoid being grounded

[Nick Cannon]
I can't believe it
I just made a mistake
Well, parents are the same no matter time or place

[3lw & Nick Cannon]
So to all you kids
Across the land
Take it from me
Parents just don't understand

[3lw]
Nah, Nah (c'mon)
They don't understand (na ah, they don't understand)
They ain't gonna get it
No, no, if you feel me
(Holla all you kids all across the land)
Nah, Nah
They don't understand (na ah, they don't understand)
They ain't gonna get it
No, no, if you feel me
(Holla all you kids all across the land)

[3lw]
Nah, Nah (c'mon)
They don't understand (na ah, they don't understand)
They ain't gonna get it
No, no, if you feel me
(Holla all you kids all across the land)
Nah, Nah (c'mon)
They don't understand (na ah, they don't understand)
They ain't gonna get it
No, no, if you feel me
(Holla all you kids all across the land)

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
