This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Radio killa (oh-oh-oh, MC)
Did a song with the American dream (American dream, oh-oh-oh)
They can't put it down like this, no-no-no-no
On my baby, she my shawty
Ooh, we rockin' (ayy)
They gotta trip all up on their breath
They hate on us (ooh, we rockin')
Now who's right there every time you cry?
Gonna sleep and wake up on your side?
Endless love, I'll always provide (ayy)
They hatin' on us and you should know why (ayy)
But who's be lovin' you lately? (Ayy, ayy)
Who's willing to go half on the baby? (Ayy, ayy)
Who who who's trying to flag our ship? (Ayy, ayy)
They just tryin' to get the love you give, but baby
Tell me what they know about my love (my love)
Tell me what they know about my love (my love)
Tell me what they know about my love (my love)

Some men don't understand why I'll never leave you
Explain my love, I don't need to
Got everybody way up in our business
Us leaving each other stay on their wish list
I see them reachin' every time you call me, baby
They on my back like a shirt, get off me, baby
They don't love me, let 'em wonder why
Here to stay and they going bye, bye
Who's the one calling you baby
Who's in love with yo' ass like crazy
Who, who, who's tryna flag down ships
Just tryna get the love you give, baby

To make me give you up (ooh, ooh, baby)
You'll always be my girl
So let them do whatever, say whatever
'Cause I ain't givin her up (oh no-no-no-no-no)

I Can't Go To Sleep

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.

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.
