Bitch, you'd better buck-buck-buckle up, prepare for this impact
Car crash, whiplash, bam, snap your neck back in half
Why can't I just be realistic?
Give 'em what they want and make the biddies go ballistic

Sadistic motherfuckers playing complicated
Well never underestimate the underestimated
Opinionated, elevated, sticking to my guns
And I think you're gonna get just what you got coming

That's the penalty
That's the penalty
Payback's a bitch so you best keep running
That's the penalty
That's the penalty
It's what you got, what you got, what you got coming

That's the penalty
That's the penalty
Payback's a bitch so you best keep running
That's the penalty
That's the penalty
It's what you got, what you got, what you got coming

Yo, can I ask you something?
What the fuck is up man?
You got nothing, it's just a fairy tale you're stuck in
I'm sucking from that 7 on 7

Pumping and roughing up all of these fakes that be bluffing
Nothing you can say could ever take this away now
Stay down
Stay the fuck away from this playground

Lyrical hijack, put my madness to my method
Check it, mic in my hand, nah, more like a lethal weapon

That's the penalty
That's the penalty
Payback's a bitch so you best keep running
That's the penalty
That's the penalty
It's what you got, what you got, what you got coming

That's the penalty
That's the penalty
Payback's a bitch so you best keep running
That's the penalty
That's the penalty
It's what you got, what you got, what you got coming

What you got, what you got, what you got
what you, what you, what you

Go blind, bring the drums
Better yet, here we come
You take back what you done or you can tuck tail and run
Ready or not, find yourself
And if you dare stop running
I think you're gonna get just what you got coming, bring it

You're gonna get just what you got, what you got?
You're gonna get just what you got, what you got?
You're gonna get just what you got, what you got?
You're gonna get just what you got coming

So what the fuck you got?

That's the penalty
That's the penalty
Payback's a bitch so you best keep running
That's the penalty
That's the penalty
It's what you got, what you got, what you got coming

That's the penalty
That's the penalty
Payback's a bitch so you best keep running
That's the penalty
That's the penalty
It's what you got, what you got, what you got coming

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”

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

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.
