Dass die nicht mal ihre Kinder frei entscheiden lassen...
So hübsch und trotzdem dieses Kopftuch
Also meine Töchter würden so ein' niemals heiraten
Nur über meine Leiche und das wissen die auch Audio88 & Yassin – Schellen

Wieder eine ironische Situation: Das lyrische Ich beklagt sich darüber, dass Leute ihre Kinder nicht frei entscheiden lassen und sie zum Kopftuchtragen zwingen, aber würde selbst seinen Töchtern die Entscheidungsfreiheit nehmen, eine solche Person zu heiraten.
Tatsache ist, dass es keine Eltern gibt, die ihre Kinder frei entscheiden lassen. Andernfalls würden sie ihre Erziehungspflichten nicht erfüllen.

Ich nehme keine Drogen, und in der Schule war ich auch AnnenMayKantereit – Oft gefragt

Diese beiden Aussagen beziehen sich auf das “..Ich hab dich angelogen!”

Zwei Interpretationsmöglichkeiten:

Er will der Person sagen, dass Aussagen wie er hätte keine Drogen genommen und nie die Schule geschwänzt, gelogen waren. Dies wäre eine Art Beichte, die zeigen soll, dass er jetzt erwachsen ist und seine Eltern nicht mehr anlügen muss.
Er will der Person sagen, dass er gelogen hat, als er damals sagte, er würde Drogen nehmen und die Schule schwänzen. Solche Lügen würde man erzählen, um seinen Eltern auf die Nerven zu gehen. Jetzt ist er alt genug, um zu wissen, dass er seinen Vater mit diesen Aussagen mehr als nur genervt hat, und will die Sache klarstellen.

Amk’s neuer Song “Schon krass” zeigt ja, dass er Drogen genommen habe. Daher denke ich, dass es als Beichte gemeint ist und er damit sagt, dass er gelogen hat, als er gesagt hat, er würde keine Drogen nehmen und immer zur Schule gehen.

Vielleicht heißt es auch, dass er in einer anderen Situation gelogen hat. Vielleicht hat er die offensichtlicheren Fragen wie die Frage nach Drogen ehrlich beantwortet hat.

You see, you wouldn't ask why the rose that grew from the concrete had
Damaged petals
On the contrary, we would all celebrate its tenacity
We would all love its will to reach the sun
Well, we are the roses (We are the roses)
This is the concrete (This is the concrete)
And these are my damaged petals (These are my damaged petals)
Don't ask me why (Don't ask why)
Thank God, nigga (Thank god)
Ask me how (Ahahaha) 2Pac (Ft. Kimma Hill) – Mama’s Just a Little Girl [KP Remix]

The rose is a metaphor for something beautiful, the concrete is a metaphor for rough circumstances. So, in this case the “rose that grew from the concrete” is a metaphor for people who were able to grow up and live an admirable life despite having had to face rough circumstances in the ghetto.

of course the rose is a metaphor and of course the concrete is a metaphor as well but what he mean what 2pac his actual saying is that the black people are the rose and the concrete is the massacre destruction that the white people have caused all over the planet earth, so at the same time the white people are the concrete on black people for after all what they do to us we still getting it out but it may not be full authority freedom of our own choice of black nation but soon now eaought we gone gain it all and put the white people back to were they belong.

Referencing The Notorious B.I.G.’s classic ‘’What’s Beef‘’, when you got beef you don’t roll no less than 30 deep.

Better be careful if you’re in 50’s hood.

You get the impression that this scenario happened right after Eminem had recorded his verse.Yelawolf calls him and it seems like a joke, since it is pretty much the opposite of what the song is about, especially Eminem’s verse.

It also serves as the intro to the next song off of Radioactive, titled “Good Girl”.

Firework Katy Perry – Firework

Song Bio 7 Contributors ?

What is this?

To learn more about participating in the Genius Editorial project, check out the contributor guidelines.

“Firework” is a song by American singer Katy Perry from her third studio album, Teenage Dream. The song was released as the third single, following the success of singles “California Gurls” and “Teenage Dream”.

Lyrically, “Firework” is meant to be an inspiration for anyone who’s ever felt worthless or unloved. Its message that everyone is beautiful and capable of leaving the world in awe really resonates with artist Katy Perry.

In fact, she has said that “Firework” is her favorite of all the songs she’s ever written. In an interview at the Grammy’s, she said that she was inspired to write the song after reading a paragraph in Jack Kerouac’s novel On the Road.

This song “Firework” shows many poetic devices, revealing its lyrical meaning and overall message. From personification to alliteration, they have all contributed to its overall meaning. It gives motivation and determination to people who can relate to it or just understanding what’s meant to be taught in the song. Fireworks is a bold symbol, but sparks can’t shine without darkness either. So it is through the trials and challenging times we face that test the limits of our potential and allow us to fully exhibit it. (Eg. we are unable to show our resilience if we do not encounter any difficult situations which require our resilience)

This verse is taken from Biggie’s track “Juicy.”

Interestingly, the original line “Time to get paid, blow up like the World Trade” is edited and “World Trade” is removed. Big’s original reference was to the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center, but since this track came out just a year after the devastating September 11 attacks it was edited out of respect.

In the morning hours of October 31, 1993, Tupac shot two off-duty police offerers.

Less than a month later, per Wikipedia:

In November 1993, Shakur and two other men were charged in New York with sodomizing a woman in Shakur’s hotel room.

Eminem was 21 years old at that time, while the protagonist appears younger.

Jay-Z explains the common mispronunciation of Tupac’s name in this 2010 interview with Charlie Rose:

And Shakur is pronounced shə-KOOR (rhymes with tour)
