Jamafrican, I haven't broken down the song verse by verse (just in general), but here's me giving it a shot...

"Think I saw her for the first time maybe in a news stand She was picking a mag, dressed oblique She called me baby, and was a mean lady with the song on the radio So I told her I was rich, then she asked could I use a dirty bitch? Of course"

(Narrator sees sexy lady at a magazine stand dressed in black. She was flirty, narrator tells her he's rich and she wanted into his life (of course))

Then she said: No one loves me... and neither do I You get what you give, I give goodbye And if I should vanish, Don't get caught off guard Don't hold it against me, Unless it gets hard

(Woman tells him she's pretty much looking for a one-night stand. Don't be offended if I leave tomorrow. "Don't hold it against me, unless it gets hard" has innuendo all over it.)

Well if sex is a weapon, then: smash, boom, pow How you like me now? You can't always do right, you can always do what's left So I told her I was trash, so she winked & laughed and said I already know... 'I've got a beautiful place to put your face', and she was right

(They're having sex, narrator's pretty much in cocky mode about it. Sometimes you can't always go for the relationship or whatever and just have to settle for what's left, this random chick on the street. Last line is self-explanatory.)

Then I said: No one loves me... and neither do I It makes perfect sense, So I never asked why I'll go tomorrow, 'Cause life doesn't wait You can keep your soul, I don't want a cell mate

(Narrator tells lady he isn't looking for anything serious and just a one-night stand essentially. I don't want a relationship, boldly stated in the last sentence.)

Cutting her loose, I'm ready to go People in the world, you're gonna lose control Cut me a noose, I'm ready to go People in the world, you're gonna lose control Cut me a noose, I'm ready to go People in the world, you're gonna lose control Cut me a noose, I'm ready to go People in the world, you're gonna lose

(He's out, what's next...)

(BOOOOOOOOOOOOM! Just wanted to throw this in because this part of the song always gets me.)

I know how to burn with passion Hold nothing back for future ration Give all you are, do not make haste Savor every single taste you get Cut

(Live in the moment, don't hold back for tomorrow.)

I know how to beat control Do opposite of what you're told Quick to react, to break the box Turn on queue, as your cell door locks Behind you

(Have fun or you'll be stuck in relationship jail.)

I know how to be lost in lust Not because you should, but because you must It burns white hot, and so clouds the mind This lightning strike isn't always kind

(Sex is best when you're in lust.)

So use me up Use me up

(Use me up and move on.)

I can't believe how much I broke this song down but it's still awesome.

I don't think anybody needed help dissecting it line by line, but it was still awesome. Thanks.

@Mike53421 i loved this i wish you could break down the whole album that way!
