This lyric could be self-referential; Aguilera’s vocal melody switches freely between a major- and minor-key, which, when notated, would require a lot of sharp (♯), flat (♭), or natural (♮) symbols, otherwise known as “Accidentals”

Spelling one’s own name is a good way for a rapper to get his name known, especially in a cypher with five different dudes.

Cole sees and understands that a rapper’s image affects a lot.

“Image is everything I see” has somewhat of a proverbial meaning to it, when using the term “image” to refer to the literal image the human eye perceives and relays to the brain via optic nerves. Relates to the classic adage, “‘I see,’ said the blind man.”

“Little Lion Man” is the debut single by Mumford & Sons, featured on their 2009 album, Sigh No More. It was nominated for “Best Rock Song” for the 53rd Grammy Awards.

The song is about the difficulties that people experience as they emotionally grow and mature. The damage that they bring upon themselves and their relationships through their own pride and stubbornness. Later, the regret that they experience over these decisions because of their choice to value pride over people who cared about them.

“…[A] man that wants to be something more than what he is but he doubts himself and is scared of letting down those he loves. This leads him to freezing up and not attempting anything, leading him to feel even worse about himself which is a common trait in mental disorders such as severe depression and anxiety.” – testekill
