Uh, uh, uh, uh
Uh
Uh, uh, uh
Y'all know what this is
This what you need to do, girl
So So Def
(Let me hold you)

I been watchin' you for a minute
Come through here so sweet scented
Your life, girl, you need me in it I'm determined to win it
I know what you need, I know what's wrong
I know how to make it tight
Everything'll be alright if ya (let me hold you)
And introduce you to my world
Introduce you to the better side of life
That you ain't been seein', girl
I'ma show you where it's at
And I'ma show you how to get it
All you got do is be wit' it and (let me hold you)
Down, like a real man's supposed to
I never would've approached you if I ain't have intentions on doin' good
See, dude you wit' is so fooled, to me, girl, you're so cool
And all I'm askin' you to do is (let me hold you)
Down, like a best friend and two homies in the gang
When you cry I wanna feel your pain, no secrets, no games
All excitement, nothin' plain, to keep you happy that's my aim
And all you gotta do, girl, is (let me hold you)

In my arms, in my mind all the time
I wanna keep you right by my side 'til I die
I'm gonna hold you down and make sure everythin' is right wit' you
You can never go wrong if you let me hold you
Down, like a real friend's supposed to
I'm tryna show you the life of somebody like you should be livin'
Oh baby, baby, you can never go wrong if you let me hold you (never)

I'ma keep you up on what's poppin' and shake you fresh to death
When we hit the mall we can ball 'til there's no more left
I know you ain't used to it, but you gon' get used to it
'Cause that's the only way I'ma do it, let me (hold you)
All da homies think I'm trippin' 'cause I got you a pad, but see
They just mad 'cause they ain't get you, they ain't get you
Scorpio is your sign and girl you're so fine
And I would do whatever in no time, no shine (let me hold you)
It's what your comin' with, but I'ma change all that
Rearrange that, put you in the Range, all black
With the rims to match, phone attached, TVs in the back
How you gon' say no to that, huh? (Let me hold you)
Niggas look at me like, "Man, here you go, really 'bout to blow some dough
Ain't nobody did before, so why is you so gung-ho?"
'Cause I believe this was meant to be
I just gotta work at it like a crack addict up in rehab (let me hold you)

In my arms, in my mind all the time
I wanna keep you right by my side 'til I die
I'm gonna hold you down and make sure everythin' is right wit' you
You can never go wrong if you let me hold you
Down, like a real friend's supposed to
I'm tryna show you the life of somebody like you should be livin'
Oh baby, baby, you can never go wrong if you let me hold you

Down-down, around, Atlanta-lanta, f-found
E'rybody know now what I'm tryna do
I say, down-down, around, Atlanta-lanta, f-found
I'm just tryna get you to let me hold you
Down-down, around, Atlanta-lanta, f-found
E'rybody know now what I'm tryna do
I say, down-down, around, Atlanta-lanta, f-found
I'm just tryna get you to let me hold you

In my arms, in my mind all the time
I wanna keep you right by my side 'til I die
I'm gonna hold you down and make sure everythin' is right wit' you
You can never go wrong if you let me hold you
Down, like a real friend's supposed to
I'm tryna show you the life of somebody like you should be livin'
Oh baby, baby, you can never go wrong if you let me hold you (hold you)

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.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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.
