Marvin Gaye, Sample-

Mother Mother, mother mother,
everybody thinks were wrong.
Mother, mother. Who are they
to judge us? Mother, mother
simply cause we wear our hair long.
Mother, mother Oohhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Papoose- Verse 1

Im gonna take ya'll back on this one.
Mommy make me some oatmeal, the mailman outside
he bringin' mo' bills. Daddy driving in his raggedy mobile.

Papoose got the cooties he killed a roach ill. Mommy Toya' keep
kickin' me with those old heals. Boys stop trying to me make me out of mo' hill.
I grew up in a shack just like oniel'. Born and raised in the ghetto where it was so real.

Back in the days when K' was on co' chill. We lived on the first floor Im from down the hill.
We had to duck on the floor, they shooting off steel. They use to have shoot outs
over them dope deals. They say if he's so nice why he got no deal? I say my talent is something these little
labels won't steal. Im doing this for those rappers who out of brownsville who never went platinum.

Marvin Gaye -- Chorus

Oh, make you wanna holler
The way they do my life
Make me wanna holler
The way they do my life

Papoose Verse 2-

Yo momma so fat when she walk her booty claps,
need gloves to eat a tootsie roll, she so black. You actin' like your
mom's all that. She's so crosseyed that when she cries tears go down her back.
Who ever stepped on a lines, yo' mother drink wine. Who ever stepped
on the cracks, yo mother smokes crack. We told mother jokes as if we took them for granted,
drinking sugar water eating the syrup sandwich. We threw rocks at lots, buildings was abandon.
Father sinners were teaching, but we aint understand it. Pissy mattresses, we was on the black flippin'
Needed some school clothes so we went shoplifting. Triple fat goose first deal big difference.
Chasin' the girls, seven humps, eleven kisses. You slap box better than me, then I fought you.
Smacked you in yo' face, and then start screamin' " i caught you"

Marvin Gaye - Chorus

Oh, make you wanna holler
The way they do my life
Make me wanna holler
The way they do my life

Papoose - Verse 3

I was borned to rappers back then, I was nice kid. Had them red& black lumberjacks
like BIG. Osh kosh bGOSH and flat tops. Battled the human beatbox stuffed wax and skelly tops.
Used G's favoritest pants, tyson was the champ, started small time hustlin' tired of them foodstamps
. Back then the dreads use to have all the weak spots, niggas were scared when they use to say ' what the blood clot!'
but the hood got tired of that you hood gunshots. Niggas started to get gun budding and what not. Tomahawks, faceheads, low lives,
the ceptic cards, black spades, lil wives, GP, SSP, HBO, those are some of the new york gangs I know.

Man I'm daydreamin' off the haze I blow, I just caught a flashback i smoked too much dro.
Flashback, Flashback, Flashback.

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.

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”

Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
