I'll stick you a little
Enough to take your oxygen away
Then I'll set you on fire
'Cause I'm on fire
And I'm with you alone
I'm so into this whore
Afraid I might lose her
So forget about me
'Cause I'll stick you

Pushed back the square
Now that you've kneed her
In the throat
Well, there you go
'Cause back in school
We are the leaders of all

Transpose
Or stop your life
It's what you do

Pushed back to square
Now that you need her
But you don't, so there you go
'Cause back in school
We are the leaders of all

So transpose
Or stop your life
Is what you do
Transpose
Or stop your life
Is what you do

Pushed back the square
Now that you've kneed her
In the throat
Well, there you go
'Cause back in school
We are the leaders of all

You are
You are

All you are
All you are
All you are
All you are
Is meat

    "it started from this interlude that we wrote that goes into the heavier part at the end. the title comes from a Kool Keith song. we just thought it was some funny shit. the song is meant to be triumphant. I just imagined being the shit in school. just holding your hands in the air and knowing that nobody can take anything from you. its one of those things where, if you tell yourself that you are the shit, then you will be the shit. im trying to spread a little confidence. a lot of artists try to make songs for the kids who are tormented in school, telling them its ok to be tormented. but its not okay. don't be lazy. don't be ridiculed. become the leader of your surroundings. confidence is one of the most important things in life. if you are confident, you can do whatever you want.

    I never tend to read lyrics when they're in a little booklet with the album so I always sang "Push back the square now that you need us but you don't so there you go". Personally, I think that that sounds better and makes more sense than what it actually is! ;)

    i listened to this song on repeat for about 3 hours, on the night of my grandmother's funeral. i was candy-flipping at the time, so i didn't have to think about reality for the moment. i was hit hard by that loss, but this song will always remind me that life goes on.

    with the heartbeat.......

    warning: this is going off the wrong lyrics & how they sound to me sometimes...

    he always sings about his girl being a queen & sometimes, it almost sounds like he's saying

    "now that you need her in the throne.. well there you go"
    instead of "throat"

    so he's telling her she can do better to kinda push her out cause he maybe sees himself as a black hole or something/he'll take her oxygen/catch her on fire/destroy her. but he really cares for her and hates to hurt her & is scared of loosing her at the same time.. its like a constant push & pull.

    so she finally leaves and at first he's feeling independent cause that's how he'd always been before she came, a leader of it all.. he didnt need her anyway.. but then he realizes he does. cause she's the same girl that finally makes everything right.

    then he's back to the beginning/square one.. he has to choose.. change/transpose or lose everything they have. she's his life, they're the same & meant to be.

    "all you are is me" instead of "meat"

    This guy pretty much runs things and gets what he wants. And he's telling the girls to stay away, because if he loses interest in what he's got now, and you happen to be there and he likes you, then he's gonna get you. But then, he'll toss you away, just because he wants to. He doesn't care, he's looking out for himself and no one else.

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”
