Oh no! A dog is off their chain? WATCH OUT!
Just kidding, to be “off the chain” means to be awesome, so here Snoop Dogg means he’s a great rapper.
Note: If Snoop were to be off the chain (in a literal sense), it would be even more dangerous now, sense he’s a lion.
Wouldn’t want a dog coming after you.
Nevermind a lion…

It is widely known that bees make honey.
What I believe Psy is saying is that hip hop is his love, and they are practically an item.
Since hip hop is his “honey”, and bees are quite fond of honey, he obviously wouldn’t want them around, hence sending the bee back.
The “honey” is this line represents Psyonik’s love for hip hop and “the bee” represents bad things that hip hop has to go up against. “The bee” could also represent someone trying to take away one of his greatest passions-making music.

Natasha reminisces about a time that her and friend used to play outside, enjoying their childhood. The two of them would enjoy games where they would dress up in outfits and play together.
Natasha would dress up in a tiara and have a wand with her
So I would assume that she was a fairy.
Her friend would then dress up and have props such as a lasso.
Cowboys would use lasso’s to catch livestock and wahtnot
And a plastic bazooka.
In this song, we assume that Natasha’s friend is a boy, the outfits and props they use do portray a little girl and a little boy quite well.
Where the rivers flow, and I call it home
And there's no more lies, in the darkness, there's light
And nobody cries, there's only butterflies Natasha Bedingfield – Pocketful of Sunshine

What Natasha is most like referring to is a “happy place” which is a fantasy built inside one’s head where all is good.
She might mean that no one is aware of her fantasy place, but it is this wonderful place where everything is bright and joyful. Meaning there is no sad people, just happy things like butterflies.

No, she doesn’t literally mean sticks and stones.
Because actual sticks and stones will hurt you.
What Natasha is saying comes from the old phrase Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never hurt me, which means you will not let anyone’s criticism bother you. Natasha is using the phrase in the same way. Go ahead, criticize her, her music, anything about her, she will remain positive and happy.

Luda compares his fresh outfit to a Ziploc bag, which is awesome for keeping sandwiches fresh.
