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.
[Jadakiss]
Ha, Parle'
Ruff Ryders
(Got me down the street)
Uh, uh
[Verse 1: Jadakiss of The LOX]
Yo
Catch me comin' out a red lobster
In a red Boxer
With a red bone and take headshots to Vodka
Nothing like a pretty chick, that's pretty rich
Who pretty lips and who smoke 50 nicks
The type you can bring around the fam and all
She get plain tickets, creditcards, scandin' off
And why'all know Jae, I, Swizz, honeys with Parle'
And I still gon get my money the hard way
[Chorus 1: Parle']
Just one hit of your love
Is exactly what I need
To get my high, (Got me down the street)
Get my to the places where I want to be
But instead, you got me in the streets (Got me down the street)
Fiendin' like a freak
Caught up in the mix
All I need, all I need's just a fix
[Parle]
Fix me with your love
Straight up (Say I'm straight up)
Just can't get enough of your love (Can't get enough of your love)
Hit me with the dub (two times baby)
And hook me up (High)
Want to get high up off your love (So high)
[Chorus 2: Parle']
Just can't quit, can't get enough
So addicted to the stuff
Get me high, (Got me down the street)
Tastin' your love baby's all I'm thinking off
In my bed, fucked up all the weed (Got me down the street)
I can't get no sleep
It's playin tricks
All I need, all I need is just a fix
[Chorus 3: Parle']
Fix me with your love (Fix me with your love)
Straight up (Straight Up)
Just can't get enough of your love (Can't get enough of your love)
Hit me with the dub (with the dub)
And hook me up (Hook me up)
Want to get high up off your love (So high)
[Parle']
She's the only thing in life I care about (Only thing I care about)
Can't live without (Can't live without)
Mix so loud
And anybody till A.G who cares about (Anybody, see me where I'm lovin)
Not makin' love without? (I need the lovin')
Mix so loud (I need the lovin')
[Verse 2: Eve]
Daddy you know the bid, mommy here a stimulate
Think you be ready for my lovin' on the first date
Blondie make 'em fiend, give 'em everything he need
Rydin' Ruff with a stallion, bring 'em to they knees
Tried to warn you first you ain't listen
Now you in a fucked up position, got you cleanin' up my kitchen
And the dishes and the gifts you givin' out
You got you dug out
Fiend of the tongue baby
And it's over got you strung out
[Chorus: 3]
Ha, Parle'
Ruff Ryders
(Got me down the street)
Uh, uh
[Verse 1: Jadakiss of The LOX]

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.
