[Chorus]
Woman you getting paid not played
Pushing Escalade and rocking Prada
No more drama do you thing your much glamor
Spend a few if you want to Cancun or Towanda
Gal say she a go hard make them know say you harder

Woman you getting paid not played
Pushing escalade and rocking prada
No more drama do you thing your much glamour
Spend a few if you want to Cancun or Towanda
Gal say she a go hard make them know say you harder

Verse 1
While girl been pimping hyping up
You got bills in stock keep lining up
No more free loading time is up
Let you breath that paper don't settle us
Getting twenties if the eighteens ain't fat enough
Nice little cutie just backs it up
Tell a gal to keep her eyes off you stuff
Rude girl a you posses the Midas touch
From head to toe Buju say them fabulous
And love it when the woman them gorgeous
No other thing on this earth I would rather trust
Tell all the woman then it is a must

Verse 2
Now who you gonna play
Low down dirty shame
Play unfair
Losing a tricky game
Just look at your hair
While checking out your nails
Tens less I am stress less loving you everyway
Benjy in the air so let it blaze
Costume ain't anything so baby lets the blazer stay
A magnetic force pulling me to the stare
Irresistible there is no escape

Chorus
Woman you getting paid not played
Pushing escalade and rocking prada
No more drama do you thing your much glamour
Spend a few if you want to Cancun or Towanda
Gal say she a go hard make them know say you harder

Woman you getting paid not played
Pushing escalade and rocking prada
No more drama do you thing your much glamour
Spend a few if you want to Cancun or Towanda
Gal say she a go hard make them know say you harder

I love it when the woman them really fascinating
Joy and pleasure and slender brain
The woman them a dance rotate and swing
While the rude boy sit down on the riddim
Buju Banton in your area oh what a vibe
The woman them make my eyes open and I realize
A them have the feeling
Them store the tide
Go on Gargamel just ride

Chorus
Woman you getting paid not played
Pushing escalade and rocking prada
No more drama do you thing your much glamour
Spend a few if you want to Cancun or Towanda
Gal say she a go hard make them know say you harder

Woman you getting paid not played
Pushing escalade and rocking prada
No more drama do you thing your much glamour
Spend a few if you want to Cancun or Towanda
Gal say she a go hard make them know say you harder

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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.

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
