i think the most poignant lines are
'And then she runs to the pastor
And he tells her there will be a new chapter
But she feels no different after
And then she ask him… "Where my money at?"'
shes like asking the pastor, someone who should show her peace and stuff 'where my money at' so shes like, become as materialistic as her pimp so not even gods message can make her see how wrong it is. it also shows how much shes changed since she was that girl in high school.
i agree with Cloud_dk that akons verse is about the pimp- hence why it says 'cause 25 to lifes no joke' and talks about pressure from cops and how the pimp doesnt know how to lay low
alsooooo 'sour amaretto' is the drink 'amaretto sour' SURPRISE SURPRISE which shows contrast between the line 'she used to be the sweetest girl ever' and now, not only is she an alcoholic but she drinks sour drinks because shes lost her sweetness in life.
ahhh late night rambles
anywayyy, good song! i love it!
