Yo what up this Wyclef with Mary J about

Yo fellas having problems with your chicks I
want you right now
To turn the lights down low pull your girl
up next to you I want to sing them this song
If death comes for me tonight girl
I want you to know that I loved you
And though right now I tough I wouldn’t dare
Only to you I would reveal my tears
So tell the police I ain’t home tonight
Messing around with you is gonna get me life
But when I look into your eyes eh
You’re worth that sacrifice yeah yeah
If this is the kind of love my mom used to warn me about
Man I’m in trouble I’m in real big trouble
If this is the kind of love that the old folks used to warn me about
Man I’m in trouble I’m in real big...I need ya to do me a favor
Someone please call 911
Tell them I’ve just been shot down and the bullets in my heart
And it’s piercing through my soul
Feel my body getting cold
So cold so cold
Someone please call 911
The alleged assailant is five foot one
And she shot me through my soul
Feel my body getting cold
Mary
So cold
Sometimes I fell like I’m a prisoner
I think I’m strapped here for a while yeah yeah
And every breath I fight to taaa-aake
It’s as hard as the four walls I’m wan-na break

Messing around with me is gonna get you life oh yeah yeah
But every time I look into your eyes
Man it’s worth the sacrifice uuhh
If this heres the kind of love that your mom used to warn you about
Mary you’re in trouble (I’m in real big trouble)

And it’s piercing through my soul (I’m losing blood, ya'll)

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
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.
No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
I think it's about falling deeply in love with your partner, and you with them. "If this the the love the old folks used to warn me about". I think it's about two people who realise or are in a relationship and know for a fact they cannot live without the other. They need each other, and "someone please call 911" isn't being literal, but it's a metaphor used to express that he just "got shot down" by cupid's arrow and its gone through his soul. It's not just a feeling or a "new love" its a deep love, it's that ether that makes your soulllll burnnn soul.
I think they are scared of the ups and downs that happen in relationships and the struggles to come- because they love each other so much they don't want anything bad to happen- but the point is its worth the sacrifice, its worth fighting those fears and even going through those ups and downs as long as they are together. I think this is about someone who scared of true love, and it makes the very scared of nervous, but they want it.
"Messing around with me is going to get you life" life usually means life in prison, and it doesn't have to be negative. I think messing around with the "person" is going to "Get them life" together because they are made for each other, its one of those life long, forever type of loves that even if something happens and they cannot be together, they can't forget each other.
@55sweetie55 very well interpreted!
@55sweetie55 <br /> I think the same, I completely agree with your interpretation!
I think the song is about falling for someone (and wanting so much to express it)... Calling 911 here is just used to indicate that the man has been shot (maybe by cupid's arrow) and that he's finally falling. And that the alleged assailant is 5 foot 1 (generally a woman's height) which is pictured in the song as mary j. The man is head over heels that the he thinks that woman shot him 'through his soul".
I just love this song.
I'd actually call to see if one of them/their partners are okay if it's what I think it's about.
My interpretation is that it's about an emotionally abusive relationship that's toxic where they would hit eachother, and that calling the police doesn't help domestic abuse when you love someone.
Or it could be about someone getting pregnant and having a baby. I dunno.
Love this song too, and hopefully understand some of it.
@emily34240 interesting take ... I personally don't see it though. To me @55sweetie55 is closer to the mark for me.
i like this song
who ever put these lyrics on here messed up. Its not " the alleged is selling his 5 foot one" i cant spell it but what hes saying is the girl that did this to him was 5'1. This song is awesome though, very powerful.
Report the lyric and I'll fix.
awesome song, very raw and powerful. they go great together
i luv dis song, think its about forbidden luv of some sort
This song is fucking amazing.
im jumping on the "this song is amazing" bandwagon. i love it so much.
I used to think that it was about gang involvement between two lovers. But now i think that it is what people above have said, it is about someone falling hard for this woman.
