Rollin' windows down kickback trollen
I'm holdin' and foldin' see no cold in the streets
dirty looks - huh - we think it's funny
the workin' class squares scrounge up all the money
but we're coolin' in the middle of June
I'm gettin' girls gettin' lit and I'm making up tunes
believe that boy I'll bet I'll bet I'm trollen
just lookin' for some trouble and we be rollin'

Now I'm a tell a tale to you straight, gonna tell you a story
it's not a fairy tale and it gets a little glory
it happened one night when Tequila was flowin
we were walkin' to my car, unaware unknowin'
I stepped up crossed the the street in no hurry
and what happens next it gets a little blurry
this chump nearly hits me in a green pinto
so I threw my bottle - bang - It broke his window
he screeched to a halt jumped out of his car
I stepped straight to him gonna make him see stars, yes
the situation was going to explode
thought I should give him a warning said ya better hit the road
I knew it would be easy if i tagged him first
so I cracked him in the face all of the sudden with a burst
I hit him with a right then a left didn't land
but he turned his head and I broke my hand

Whatcha gonna do?
do whatcha gonna

I got a cast on my hand and the girls think I'm a jerk
I can't play my bass and I can't go to work
this is a true story it all did happen
better yet I regret that moment of scrappin'
been two years now since this all took place
I learn from being stupid I learn from my mistakes
and now I'm livin' peace edifyin' and trollen
can't say it wasn't fun in those days of rollin'
rollin'
rollin'

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.

Plastic Bag
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.
