This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

>The Saga Continues......
Verse 1
It's been awhile since I escaped the library
fightin ignorance everyday its gettin weary
when I think I got him
he pulls a slip on me
and theres so many soldiers
in his fiendous ass army
One of the fiercest, is this nigga named Tricknology
the last time we met, he got the drop on me
shit happens so fast he even got some of my family
blasted my way up out the building
when I catch him Im gon kill him
track him uptown, where I hear he's lyin to children
1-2-5th's the stop, go outside I hear gunshots
run up the block
greedy Lou's dead infront of the materialistic crack spot
Trick's yellin out this is my block
I would've hit him, but I didn't have a clear shot
an innocent bystander might get popped
Damn....a small thang cuz the prophet still cant be stopped
What...thats right, this is my motherfuckin life
Trick-nol-ogy, you know what Im sayin
you know me, you can't front on me....
Verse 2
Im in a fucked up position
but if he squeezes again, Im gon lift em
a few seconds later now here comes the siren
oh shit its the pork chop patrol
their on Ignorance's payroll
and they only came to hold...
Tricknolog down, scoup Greedy Lou off the ground
throw him in the back of a truck
one yells 'What the fuck nigga ya lookin at?
now get the fuck outta here'
then I get that feeling that I feel when danger is in the air
then out of nowhere one yells the Prophets over there
immediatly following mad led is in the air
picture all posted up like they knew I'd be here
I'd go for what I know
but shit there everywhere
through in the back and forth my gun gets lost
but I managed to get one high powered thought off
I split 6 pigs that got sawed off
as their bodies break south I proceed to break north
now shit is lookin dim and you'd think all maybe lost
but the Prophet won't go out at any cost
You could never stop the prophet....
>Unit's 1 &2, Unit's 1 & 2 the prophet has been sighted
>if you see him kill him
can't a damn thing stop me
Verse 3
I head toward the train station
my force did stop most of the ammunition
still I need medical attention
but Im not bitchin ,gettin Ignorance is my mission
all of a sudden Greedy Lou comes creepin
around the corner talkin bout..Prophet your a gonna
We knew you followed Trick uptown because you wanna
get rid of Ignorance but that dont make no sense
He runs the world I know this from experience
Why don't you come & work wit us
you'll see the boss' game is nice
that night...Greedy Lou died twice
Now I'm wanted, pork chop patrol has a warrant
but that still can't stop the Prophet
>Here ye, here ye the court of Ignborance is now in session
>we, judge and the jury find the Prophet
>guilty in the murder of Greedy Lou
>one of our close personal homeboys
>so for that the sentence is death
>when you find him execute him
>Well Prophet
>It seems like you're in a bit of a jam
>I hope you can unstick yourself Oh
>And what you did to my wife
>It was nothing I have others

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/

Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
