Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-whoa-oh

One tri-
One tri-
One tribe, one time, one planet, one race
It's all one blood, don't care about your face
The color of your eye
Or the tone of your skin
Don't care where you are, don't care where you been
'Cause where we gonna go
Is where we wanna be
The place where the little language is unity
And the continent is called Pangaea
And the main ideas are connected like a sphere
No propaganda, they tried to upper hand us
'Cause man I'm loving this peace
Man, man, I'm loving this peace
Man, man, I'm loving this peace
I don't need no leader
That's gonna force feed a
Concept that make me think I need to
Fear my brother and fear my sister
And shoot my neighbor
With my big missile
If I had an enemy (enemy)
If I had an enemy (enemy)
If I had an enemy then my enemy is gonna try to come and kill me
'Cause I'm his enemy there's one tribe y'all (woah-oh)

One tribe y'all (oh-oh)
One tribe y'all (woah-oh)
We are one people (oh-oh)
Let's catch amnesia, forget about all that evil (woah-oh)
Forget about all that evil, that evil that they feed ya (oh-oh)
Let's catch amnesia, forget about all that evil (woah-oh)
That evil that they feed ya (oh-oh)
Remember that we're one people (woah-oh)
We are one people (oh-oh)
One, one (one people)
One, one (one people)
One, one (one people)

One tribe, one tribe
One tribe, one time, one planet, one (hey)
Race, one love, one people, one (yeah)
Too many things that's causing one (to)
To forget about the main cause
Connecting, uniting
But the evil is seen and alive in us
So our weapons are colliding
And our peace is sinking like Poseidon
But, we know that the one (one)
The evil one is threatened by the sum (sum)
So he'll come and try and separate the sum
But he dumb, he didn't know we had a way to overcome
Rejuvenated by the beating of the drum
Come together by the cycle of the hum
Freedom when all become one (one)
Forever

One tribe y'all (woah-oh)
One tribe y'all (oh-oh)
One tribe y'all (woah-oh)
We are one people (oh-oh)
Let's catch amnesia (woah-oh)
Forget about all that evil (evil) (oh-oh)
Forget about all that evil (evil)
That evil that they feed ya
Let's catch amnesia (woah-oh)
Forget about all that evil (evil) (oh-oh)
That evil, that they feed ya (feed ya)
Remember that we're one people (woah-oh)
We are one people (oh-oh)
One, one (one people)
One, one (one people)
One, one (one people)

One love, one blood, one people
One heart, one beat, we equal
Connected like the internet
United that's how we do
Let's break walls, so we see through
Let love and peace lead you
We could overcome the complication cause we need to
Help each other, make these changes
Brother, sister, rearrange this
The way I'm thinking that we can change this bad condition
Wait, use you mind and not your greed
Let's connect and then proceed
This is something I believe
We are one, we're all just people

One tribe y'all (woah-oh)
One tribe y'all (oh-oh)
One tribe y'all (woah-oh)
We are one people (oh-oh)
Let's catch amnesia (woah-oh)
Forget about all that evil (oh-oh)
Forget about all that evil, that evil that they feed ya
Let's catch amnesia (woah-oh)
Let's catch amnesia, forget about all that evil (oh-oh)
That evil, that they feed ya (woah-oh)
Uh, uh, we're one tribe y'all (oh-oh)
We-we-we-we, one tribe y'all (woah-oh)
One, one (one people)
One, one (one people)
One, one (one people)
One pe-, one pe- (one people)
One pe-, one pe- (one people)
One pe-, one pe- (one people)

Let's, let's catch amnesia
Lord help me out
Trying to figure out what it's all about (what it's all about)
'Cause we're one in the same (one in the same)
Same joy, same pain
And I hope that you're there when I need ya
'Cause maybe we need amnesia
And I don't wanna sound like a preacher
But we need to be one

One world, one love, one passion
One tribe, one understanding
'Cause you and me can become one

There was no longer a physical (physical)
Record store
But we will continue, let the beat run

    I LOVE THIS SONG. It might be my favorite off this new album.

    The message of this song is pretty clear, I love how BEP's solution for this problem is "amnesia", they raise a good point when they say that.

    This song feels like it's from a similar vein as "Where Is The Love", maybe even taking it a step further.

    But I digress. GREAT SONG, I LOVE THE E.N.D., I LOVE B.E.P.

    Not really a fan of the Black Eyed Peas, but I'm loving this. Best song of the album by FAR.

    Only thing: I've always heard "Let's catch amnesia," not cast. But hey, that works too..

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.
