In my world
We made it safely Frank Ocean – Monks

In my world = In frank’s mind.
In the character’s imagination they arrived safely.
But in reality they did not.
They didn’t escape her father’s army.
And the safety and solace they wanted, they never reached.

I feel like the opposite is true. They did escape the army, they just still have a long way to go.

The next line “we’ve got no choices left” means that we’ve started to do something and have past the point of no return

Am I a freak because I love watching Mary? (Maybe) Janelle Monae (Ft. Erykah Badu) – Q.U.E.E.N.

Monae asks if she’s a freak because she likes watching Mary. It is likely Janelle is referencing Tina Turner whose dance moves, attitude, and stage presence liekly influenced Janelle. Tina Turner is also famous for the song Proud Mary.

It is also possible Janelle is saying she likes watching Mary, and Mary is just a name for a random woman who she enjoy watching. Now in what context is the question — what exactly is Mary doing?

I thought she meant, “is she a freak for enjoying watching another woman masturbate/have sex?”

Maybe = Yes, you’re freaky; no you aren’t a FREAK (because a lot of people do it).

This may be a reference to Blueberry Mary from Ms. Monae’s song Mushrooms & Roses of The ArchAndroid
“I remember one of the regulars/Her long, grey hair/Beautiful smile and rosy cheeks/Her name slips my mind…/Ahhh, her name was…/Blueberry Mary/and she’s crazy about me”

Video of a live performance in which Monae paints the form of a nude woman while performing Mushrooms & Roses

Or, more frivolously (and in keeping with the GLBT tip), it could be referring to the OLD OLD OLD school soap opera, “Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman.”

Close my eyes and fall into you
My god she’s giving me pleasure Frank Ocean (Ft. André 3000) – Pink Matter

The way one closes their eyes in intense moments of pleasure.
Not just of the intense sexual kind, but of deep love, or spiritual pleasure.

"Nanana hey hey," (Chance The Rapper – Everything's Good (Good Ass Outro)) | pending

lmfao…i know everybody in the late teens and early 20’s remembers this fucking movie. why is this so funny out of context? Nananana hey hey heyyyy

"Even ones who wear the crown say wassup" (Jay Rock – Say Wassup) | accepted

Even the top dogs of rap such as Dr.Dre, 50 Cent, etc., are giving Top Dawg Ent their dues. RAP ROYALTY.

"While I'm jelly beans descending / Into the palm of a chi..." (Rick Ross – Sixteen) | accepted

Andre’s message goes through his music and into the ears of a child so easily. (Think of how easy it is to find porn/illegal music on the internet now)

Kids are sneaky.

"The world has said so much to me, and I just wanna give r..." (Rick Ross – Sixteen) | accepted

Andre is saying life has given him so much experience that it’s too much fit inside 16 bars. Experience is the best teacher. It speaks you listen. And then hopefully you pass that knowledge on to the next generation. In Andre’s case he’s doing it through these bars.

This is a conundrum faced by almost every musician, song-writer, and rapper. Life is

"What more can I say? I'm a bastard with black lips / Blac..." (Ab-Soul – Black Lip Bastard (Remix)) | rejected

Ab Soul has mad respect for Jay Z

"Shorty code red / And so is my flag" (Jay Rock – Colors) | rejected

no. redbone is an african american colloquialism for a black woman (i.e. chilli from TLC, Letoya Luckett, etc..) that is not as light as high-yellow (as light as someone like Beyonce) but neither darker than someone like Kelly Rowland who would be considered chocolate.

Lil Wayne has expressed his love numerous times for this complexion of woman.

"Course no, I’ma feel myself" (Iggy Azalea – D.R.U.G.S.) | pending

Elevating yourself/Gassing yourself up = Masturbation of the Ego…therefore Iggy is feeling herself…figuratively….and perhaps literally.

"On these hoes hairs no activator, whores f*ck up when he ..." (Iggy Azalea – D.R.U.G.S.) | pending

Activator is a common synonym for a perm, which is used (depending on the hair type) to either straighten it permanantly or make it curly. Activator is what activates the perm to work.

With that in mind I’m assuming by Iggy Azealia being on these hoes hair’s, she’s straightening them out.

"Just damagin’ that’s my protocol" (Iggy Azalea – D.R.U.G.S.) | pending

Another allusion to Kendrick’s “Look Out for Detox”:

“I’m the prototype with a godly protocol
You an amateur, they wanna pro to call”

"And make them titties pop" (Kendrick Lamar – Michael Jordan) | pending

“Do the diddy bop…watch those titties pop”
