Lemonade

Braids

I don't want to go out there
I don't want to know what you're wearing
There are black diamonds in your eyes
And just so you know, your skin is scaling

Have you fucked all the stray kids yet?
They're their sleeping in my backyard
They're just looking out for no one
Except to smoke and piss in good fun
With their dogs and wives and new sons
And their mother never will hug
'Cause she's never really found love
Just a woman who will always lug
Just some honey with a nice shove

And what I, and what I found is that we
We're all just sleeping around

And what I, and what I found is that we
We're all just sleeping around

This woman used to come here
With her daughter and her husband
Now no one sees her husband
'Cause her ass has caught the harvest
And her pants have got a good fill
I noticed underneath the window sill

Well I was jerking with my lemonade
I told him to get fucked and then get laid
Now what do you say to a man who's got no taste
Who's really got no potential
Except to procreate for him essential

And what I, and what I found is that we
We're all just sleeping around

And what I, and what I found is that we
We're all just sleeping around

All we really want to do is love
All we really want to do is love
All we really want to do is love
All we really want to do is love
All we really want to do is love
All we really want to do is love
All we really want to do is love
All we really want to do is love
All we really want to do is love
All we really want to do is love
All we really want to do is love
All we really want to do is love
All we really want to do is love
All we really want to do is love
All we really want to do is love
All we really want to do is love
All we really want to do is love
All we really want to do is love
All we really want to do is love
All we really want to do is love
All we

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.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
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.

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/

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.
