i find this song so ironic now...when i first saw it was on some show about the good stuff from the 90's this song being one of them. the song is total poetry in motion-but the predicament is quite interesting. even though, as the hook comes in, you'd think oh the girl is just simply holding off (no pun intended). but then you realise that Black Thought is actually speaking of his sexual desires towards the girl. he loves her, truly, you can tell by the speech ('Knew Shorty could work it since before I ever kissed her') but when he wants to go to bed with her-she refuses. that's all in the first verse. the second verse is about the torment he went through because of it. He remains faithful even though oppurtunity arises ('Temptation played the vandal, freakin my brain, my mind'). in the final verse he speaks more of his feelings-how totally real they are ('Ain't no need to pretend, cause shit is real til the end ')...and all in all the song's telling the story of a man who has to deal with a woman who gives him the silent treatment...because she's better than having sex with him-and that's not what she wants. him asking for it is what turns her off in the first place.
-i would love more females like this to exist, can i tell ya?
