[Chorus]
I been around the world
And gets nothing but love
For who I am
I thank my fans so much
Even though some may hate
Still I appreciate
All my friends and family
That kept it real with me

I been around the world and back like what up
East side to west side touring like what up
And even though the price for the house was so much
I still roll with them from the hood like what up
Cause when it comes to being the realest I'm sure 'nough
I'm a straight up industry villain for sure 'nough
And I can't satisfy some a y'all no matter what
And some of y'all cats are so jealous
Said we livin in a cold cold world
Ain't nothin' but fake faces fake people fake friends
Said we living in a cold cold world
Where there ain't nuttin but envy wannabees playa-hatas
Yea I know I need a hug but y'all need a hug too
'cause god gunna judge me the same day he judge you
And even though we have our struggles that's alright
You know we get our folks and find a way to shine

[Chorus]

[Ja Rule]
Sometimes this world can be so cold
When you looking through the windows of the soul
I been looking to see the truth as it unfolds
Cause I been around this globe and back
Enough to know the fact
Who loves me
And who loves me not
We be shit's so hot
You could put it in red tops
And pump it through every hood, ghetto, and block
Until they heart stops
That's why they fiend for me
And I thank you for every blessing that you giving me lord
And I'm grateful for all my talent and my vocal accords
And all these haters I keep shaking 'em off
Rubbing they face in fame
I'm sorry I changed the game
But its mine and I can't complain
Rule and are Kelly
Been around the world
Putting it on women
Bumping and grinding these bitches
But we always on time when a woman fed up
And that's love
That's why they all fuck wit us

[Chorus]

Said my lyrics is my testimony
That's how I live
I had to get rid of a lot of fake homies
Over the years
You see me on TV sometimes
Not how it is
Y'all gotta start learning how to separate me from showbiz
When I'm rolling through your city
Show me love
And ladies when you see a boy
Give me love
And though I'm not conceited (right)
Its just my space sometimes I need it (right)
Said I got so many friends in them area codes
That I hand out them tickets when it comes to my shows
Ja lets break bread together
Pray together
That we grow strong together
Its clear forever
Help each other through the stormy weather
Lets hurt together
Lets cry together
And even if we grow together
Then together we'll make it better

[Chorus]

Said I been around the world
And gets nothing but love
For who I am
I thank my fans so much
Even though some may hate
Still I appreciate
All my friends and family
That kept it real with me

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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/

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
