Konvict, Konvict

[Fabolous]
We never change over here
Street Fame, Konvict

[Akon]
If I'm your man, and you're my man
You ain't gotta worry 'bout where we stand
But you crossed the man, you forced my hand
And changin' who I am ain't part of my plan
'Cause I will not change up, change up, no
Said, I will not change up, change up, no

Now, I don't know if I should hug him or slug him, now
And I don't know if I should cap him or dap him, now
But I know that it's feelin' funny, now
Maybe it's 'cause I'm gettin' this money, now
You see, things ain't the same
I said, things ain't the same (nah)
No, things ain't the same (nah)
And I know I ain't changed

[Fabolous]
Yo, I make the money, but don't let it make me
So even if I go broke, nigga, you couldn't break me
Watch how long it take me to jump back on my feet (feet)
Quick as when the barrels jump back on the heat (heat)
Y'all don't wanna see me jump back in the street
So be happy that I ride through, slumped back in the seats
Being broke is a joke, I never found it funny
That's why I count my blessings as much as I count my money

If I'm your man, and you're my man
You ain't gotta worry 'bout where we stand
But you crossed the man, you forced my hand
And changin' who I am ain't part of my plan
'Cause I will not change up, change up, no
Said, I will not change up, change up, no

[Fabolous]
Some niggas change when they get change, funny when they get money
Switch when they get rich, strayed when they got paid
Ha, but I stresses you to holla
'Cause they never made bullet-proof vests out of dollars
We never change; this is us every day
I call them boys up, they gon' bust every K
They ride high, like them cust' Chevrolet's
Like O-Wax and Kaine, lookin' for his cousin killers
I got a dozen peelers for niggaz who doesn't feel us
I changed for a reason but, homey, it wasn't scrilla
They can't say that nothin' changed but my clothes
Oh, I'm lyin', I do change up my hos
I pitch game; you should see the change-up I throws
And gotta get 'em a ring to get 'em to swing
I'm a team player; if I win, then we won
They gon' put us all in the Hall of Fame when we done

[Akon]
If I'm your man, and you're my man
You ain't gotta worry 'bout where we stand
But you crossed the man, you forced my hand
And changin' who I am ain't part of my plan
'Cause I will not change up, change up, no
Said, I will not change up, change up, no

Now, I don't know if I should hug him or slug him, now
And I don't know if I should cap him or dap him, now
But I know that it's feelin' funny, now
Maybe it's 'cause I'm gettin' this money, now
You see, things ain't the same
I said, things ain't the same (nah)
No, things ain't the same (nah)
And I know I ain't changed

[Fabolous]
Money can't buy happiness, but it's a damn good down payment
I don't talk much, feel like I'm around agents
The game ain't what it used to be
I'm the same, but these lames ain't used to me
Them other niggas be full of they-selves
Get money and disappear - try to pull a Chappelle
Well, I ain't hidin', I'm ridin; I ain't duckin', I'm buckin'
I ain't hangin', I'm bangin; I ain't willin', I've done it

[Akon]
If I'm your man, and you're my man
You ain't gotta worry 'bout where we stand
But you crossed the man, you forced my hand
And changin' who I am ain't part of my plan
'Cause I will not change up, change up, no
Said, I will not change up, change up, no

Now, I don't know if I should hug him or slug him, now
And I don't know if I should cap him or dap him, now
But I know that it's feelin' funny, now
Maybe it's 'cause I'm gettin' this money, now
You see, things ain't the same (nah)
I said, things ain't the same (nah)
No, things ain't the same
And I know I ain't changed

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.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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/

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
