Blu’s strong suit are his emotions, but obviously the women he’s trying to impress doesn’t see that. So, he’s going to have to wait his turn while the more physically attractive males are getting all her attention. He plans to get this girl in a close and cozy environment rather than a widespread castle, then he will really be chief!
Blu also embeds wordplay with ‘queen’ and ‘king/kinging’, terms often used in the game of chess which is appropriate because altogether this is all one big game of love.

Acie indulges deeper into the reasoning of the priest to molest the child by explaining that it was his “obligation” to touch the child in uncomfortable places and that any pain felt was all in good nature of sacrifice. The boy is okay with this because, just as any other Christian, he feels he is forever in the debt of Jesus Christ who gave the biggest sacrifice of all.

A contradictory statement as the male portrayed in the song refers to Sia on occasion as his ‘princess’ when in reality he is abusing her and threatening her to deaths limits. Quite the opposite of the Princess life.
The makeup she put on to once impress this man is now running down her face from the tears she’s shedding.
And I prepared to die, your blade, it shines
Looked me straight in the eye
You turned the gas on high
Held the flame alight
You wonder why I'm scared of fire
You wonder why you make girls cry Sia – Straight for the Knife

With this song, Sia creates an image of an abusive relationship in which she can’t give up because of her love for him. He’s gone so far as nearly stab her and burn her alive, yet the realization of his love for her results in what the ending lines of the chorus reveal to be a sympathetic mutualism. Sia knows the threats will continue, but she’s willing to risk her life for what she sees as true love.

Even during vacancy, when Vince returns to the street all he can see are the remains of people who have gotten killed out of robbery or from gang fights.
Vince even takes us a step further into the hood lifestyle by explaining how he repaid his debts using the drugs, O = Ounces, he obtained from looting crack houses. Kinda twisted huh?
There are endless possibilities for what kind of trouble you could get in for these acts, but because it seemed normal, Vince was influenced to do so.

Its a given that getting head is an enjoyable accomplishment. Every male loves it and even gains some respect from their own clique, along with self pride, upon receiving it.
However, Soul contemplates the use of it being if you’re not using your brain and realizing there’s more to life than carnal pleasures. He does enjoy these pleasures, but feels there are more sentimental things included when having a woman’s company.
Also notice the wordplay when getting “head” and when using you “brain”.

It makes Green’s day, and ultimately his nights, harder knowing that having a father could have aided in having mental peace by guiding him though his early life’s hardships or simply by having a father around to feel like a normal kid.
On a good note, however, most of today’s famous artists faced similar troubles and is what makes them cherished today (Eminem, Tyler, The Creator, Jay-Z, ect.).

Generally, fathers are known for their inspiring advice that is given to their child while growing up. In this fictional story the boy was only told one memorable sentence from his pops which translates to “Who could possibly save our corrupt nation if its run by the devil himself?”.
This is NOT to be taken as a Satinist statement in which there is no right, or God, in the world.
