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”
[Chorus]
Roses are red, violets are blue.
My rhymes rhyme, but yours don't.
Hey! I'm all up in your face like a rabid chimp,
I'll eat shrimp on a blimp but I ain't no wimp.
I send American flags to Ho Chi Minh,
And Bart Simpson toys to Sam Kinison.
If you're akin to sin, you may just win,
Unless you buy a condom that's made of lamb skin.
I'm down with you of course and your friend Ian,
Although half of this rap is Indo European.
I translated it so it would make sense
To all you ladies and gents but there's no evidence
If I'm going too fast or if I'm going too slow.
You can always press"repeatâ?? on this funky fresh flow.
Though you may not even know if I mean what I say,
It's legit when I tell you this homey don't play.
So sit back and relax and pop open a Coke,
Compared to me, 50 Cent, your rhymes are a joke.
[Chorus]
Word, word, word to your mother and your father too,
And props to anyone who keeps staying true.
And shout outs to my homeys across the globe, accept diversity but diss a homophobe.
The only way to understanding is to embrace the truth,
We're all creatures of God, Buddha, Allah, and Zeus.
We're only here for a bit, so make the best of it.
Don't look back in sixty years
To see your life wasâ?¦ garbage!
But the point I'm trying to make is that
My flows are so def like a big milkshake.
I don't mean to brag, I don't mean to boast,
But the Sugarhill Gang is misquoted the most.
[Chorus]
So get this point right here, it's perfect clear,
Props to anyone who bought"Nothing to Fear.â??
Shout outs to Wesley Willis, Atom G., and John Hall.
Word to MC Paul Barman, hey return my call!
What's up to Jerry Garcia, Hendrix, Morrison and Zappa,
Word to Devo,"Weird Al,â?? and those girls from Abba.
I hope you have a good day and that you're feeling swell,
Even though the music industry can be hell.
[Chorus]
Roses are red, violets are blue.
My rhymes rhyme, but yours don't.
Hey! I'm all up in your face like a rabid chimp,
I'll eat shrimp on a blimp but I ain't no wimp.
I send American flags to Ho Chi Minh,
And Bart Simpson toys to Sam Kinison.
If you're akin to sin, you may just win,
Unless you buy a condom that's made of lamb skin.
I'm down with you of course and your friend Ian,
Although half of this rap is Indo European.

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.
Just A Little Lovin'

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
