Kanye compares his desire to fuck his old flame one more time to a drug addict who says, “Just one more hit, and I’m done.” He thinks one more night with her will let him finally get over her.

He believes that if he can just get her into bed with him one more time, then he will have shown his dominance over her and he won’t long for her as much. There are many urban myths that having sex a certain number of times will make someone love you, and these are supported by studies that say that hormones released during sex do, in fact, lead to love..

Note how he doesn’t mention love or actual affection as his motive for wanting to sleep with her. He just wants to “own her” and go on with his life.

You might like to think of yourself as unique and different, but in reality, the way you’re living makes you just like every other unique and different person out there.
Nothing is original.

What you think is your oh so sacred “individuality”, is more likely a materialistic and false idea that has been sold to you through various methods of social control, ie mass-media, and is based on other’s perception of you.
True individuality is hard-won.

And since everything has been done, real artists don’t care too much about “being original”. By accepting the fact that “originality” is actually just undetected plagiarism, they are free to embrace influence, not run from it.
Pablo Picasso himself said, “Art is theft”.

Does a million sales really mean anything when you’re trapped by the fame? B.o.B Presents: The Adventures of Bobby Ray has officially only sold about 600,000 copies in the United States. However, B.o.B is fairly popular in Canada and the UK as well, so another 400,000 copies isn’t so inconceivable.

He is the Game. A paper chaser is someone who cares about nothing but money and a pager is a device used to signal someone that they are needed. The stereotypical portrayal of drug dealers has them always carrying around a pager so that they can service loyal customers ASAP. Therefore pager ringing would be a signal to the drug dealer that there is money to be made.
