The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
If you want to be with me, yeah, let me hear you say Warren G, Warren G
If you want to be with me, well well well, let me hear you say Warren G,
Warren G
Smokin' me out to the finish, I thought you knew,
I thought they knew, who was up in this,
Ron Isley, I's be Warren G,
Baby said would ya please come roll deep,
Chocolate Thai, I said I,
Got the Hennessy chaser, skirt you look fly
Peepin' them lips, hittin' two finger sips,
On the 710 freeway, I straight dips
Wit a fat one rolled up to puff
I'm ready to hit it and I won't quit it until I get enough
Tokin' nothing but the bomb that's without no doubt,
As she twist up another split she's straight smokin' me out
[Chorus]
She's smokin' me out, smokin' me out
Smokin' me out, smokin' me out,
Oh she's smokin' me out with the homey's love
I slinkin' while I'm thinkin' just how good it is,
To do it how we do it in the hood I live,
Passin' homies on the block, gettin' major respect,
And by then y'all the hen dog is taken effect,
Never panic hit Atlantic then I banked to right
Pulled straight Nellin B's order steak and rice,
With the gravy, baby gets the shrimps and fries,
I'm diggin' on her figure as I glimpse her thighs,
She's satisfied, I left the tip and dipped to get back
To twist another zag and to grab a six pack,
She went back, so we proceed to parlay,
Everything is lovely and we doin' it always
[Chorus: x2]
This ain't no love ballad,
But see baby I gots to have it,
When I see that bomb I grab it, 'cause its a habit,
So don't come with that toe down stretch,
I ain't stressin', Long Beach baby keep smokin' me out, she learned a lesson,
Floatin' high as a kite as I chill and lay low,
Bumpin' time is collected, Sunday nights on the radio
Oh, I forgot, how lit I was, crazy glued to the seat
Dog said she need,
So conversation ain't needed,
When she know that I'm weeded,
Headin to the hotel to regulate it and beat it
I exhaled, I seen a cloud of smoke,
I banged it to the boogie by my head and got locced
[Chorus: x6]
If you want to be with me, well well well, let me hear you say Warren G,
Warren G
Smokin' me out to the finish, I thought you knew,
I thought they knew, who was up in this,
Ron Isley, I's be Warren G,
Baby said would ya please come roll deep,
Chocolate Thai, I said I,
Got the Hennessy chaser, skirt you look fly
Peepin' them lips, hittin' two finger sips,
On the 710 freeway, I straight dips
Wit a fat one rolled up to puff
I'm ready to hit it and I won't quit it until I get enough
Tokin' nothing but the bomb that's without no doubt,
As she twist up another split she's straight smokin' me out
[Chorus]
She's smokin' me out, smokin' me out
Smokin' me out, smokin' me out,
Oh she's smokin' me out with the homey's love
I slinkin' while I'm thinkin' just how good it is,
To do it how we do it in the hood I live,
Passin' homies on the block, gettin' major respect,
And by then y'all the hen dog is taken effect,
Never panic hit Atlantic then I banked to right
Pulled straight Nellin B's order steak and rice,
With the gravy, baby gets the shrimps and fries,
I'm diggin' on her figure as I glimpse her thighs,
She's satisfied, I left the tip and dipped to get back
To twist another zag and to grab a six pack,

Everything is lovely and we doin' it always

I Can't Go To Sleep

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.

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.
