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.
Look at, lookin' at, lookin' at me
Look at that, look how they lookin' at me
Eyes all stickin' like honey on bees
Look at that, look how they lookin' at me
Yeah, DC chillin', PG chillin'
My name Wale and I came to get it
Came to get it, came to get It
My name Wale
Shiiit, this how you start off '09
Kickin' in the door, and I'm everybody problem
Stuntin' in some other Jordan Nines
I got Phil Knight talkin' about "How you got them?"
Let's talk about the cars y'all got
You say you got a lotta whips, well I got a lot
I got the right to be cocky
Get so much cut disc jockeys jock me
You niggas mad cause you not me
I remain a giant while you're Jeremy Shockey
And if you ain't heard me properly
If you speak garbage, then we no capiche
DC chillin', PG chillin', floor to the ceilin'
Stuntin' in my Billionaire gear on my
Millionaire frames, that's money on my mind, Wale
Look at, lookin' at, lookin' at me
Look at that, look how they lookin' at me
Eyes all stickin' like honey on bees
Look at that, look how they lookin' at me
DC chillin', PG chillin'
My name Wale and I came to get it
Came to get it, came to get It
My name Wale
Yeah, they keep sayin' whale, but my name Wale
Hoes call me "Mr. Never-Wear-The Same-Thing"
You redundant, you never ever change
And I'm the same way, M.I.A
And me, Cool and Dre gettin' high like planes
Your man Wale in his own damn lane
Can't control the box, you are no Mills Lane
Ain't heard DC since Sardines came
Ha! And I made y'all love it
We don't cop pleas, but y'all don't cop nothin'
Police come around don't nobody say nothin'
And you be with the cops, you niggas is McLovin
Dark liquor 'til we busted
'Til I got a buzz like that nigga Chris Mullin
District of Columbia
You Bernie Mac funny, we ain't scared of none of ya
Look at, lookin' at, lookin' at me
Look at that, look how they lookin' at me
Eyes all stickin' Like honey on bees
Look at that, look how they lookin' at me
DC chillin', PG chillin'
My name Wale and I came to get it
Came to get it, came to get It
My name Wale
Get 'em all, get 'em all, pick it all up
Stack up your funds like a million bucks
Across the pond, they all know us
International, whoa!
Driving my car to a foreign place
Lookin' at me, now they know my face
We want it all now, we got it all, yes
Look at, look at, how they looking at us
Dre, pickin' my, pick'em
I'll shut them all down
Haters in the crowd, if you see 'em, point them out
Stacks in my jeans, broads on the scene
Folarin be ballin' for all y'all to see
Ain't I something? The way I'm stuntin'
My material girls give 'em A-Rod Money!
LV on my luggage
Them Bammas goin' hate, and I love it
Fuck it
Fliest of the boys, fliest of the birds
Flying in the sky with their money and arts
We want it all now
We got it all year
Look at, look at, how they looking at us
Fliest of the boys, fliest of the birds
Flying in the sky with their money and arts
We want it all now
We got it all year
Look at, look at, how they looking at us
Look at that, look how they lookin' at me
Eyes all stickin' like honey on bees
Look at that, look how they lookin' at me
Yeah, DC chillin', PG chillin'
My name Wale and I came to get it
Came to get it, came to get It

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/
