Analysing Song Lyrics

Drake - Something
It is about a girl that he has tried to get for so long, tried every method to get her but realised it couldn't work and didn't work out in the end. The girl leaves him and he is heartbroken, ask questions to himself, just stunned and sad

"You got me hear watching minutes pass by, wondering when to expect you"
"now that its over, should of known better"
"slowed it down cos i feel you needed time, but i kept thinking, this could be something"
"maybe its just nothing at all?" and repeats it

-The idea of starting a story from there is that a guy or girl tried to get a love partner but they are waiting on the person. They try do every method to get his love partner but questioning himself along the way. It is a drama genre.

Jagged Edge - Whats it like
It is about a person that is eager to find out what is it like to be in love, whats someone to show the person and wonders if he'll would ever be in love.

"wanna be in love"
"im just wondering will i ever know me"
"ive been hoping, somebody show me whats it like to be in love"

- It is a drama genre. the idea of this would be the are on a quest for love and hoping they find it.

black eyed peas - meet me halfway
It is about one partner in a relationship wants the other partner to try more because the partner feels that they have tried the hardest they can so the partner is asking each other to put in same effort.

"i cant go any further than this, i want you so bad it's my only wish"
"meet me halfway, right at the border line is where I'm gonna wait, for you"
"took my heart to the limit and this is where ill stay"

- Drama genre. The idea for this is they are in a relationship and and one person in the relationship feels the other one is not putting that much effort. The ending might be they leave him for a better man.

Biggie Smalls - Party and Bull****
It is about what him and his friends do in their everyday lives and when they go parties they try not to get into trouble but people provoke them.

"honeys wanna chat, but all i wanna know is where the party at,
and can i bring my gat, if not, hope i don't get shot,
better throw my vest "
"cant we all get along? So i can put hickes on her chest like lil' Shawn"

- Action genre. Teenagers love parting but while in parties get in trouble and a fight breaks out or shooting.

T dot Flirtz - Pain I'm feeling
About a boy that was getting along with this girl and the girl led him on but then wanted to be back to friends again but the boy is saying that he wishing he told her things he could of said but was in his mind and that when she told him that they should just be friends, he saying that his coping but inside of him there is a pain he is feeling.

"you weren't mine and i weren't yours but we would act it behind close doors"
"said it was over and I'm slowly dealing but deep inside there's this awful pain I'm feeling"

-This is a drama genre. The idea is boy and a girl gets together but never worked out in the end.

K koke - true stories
This is about a friend he was trusting but then he found out that his friend was not trust worthy and didn't help him when he was in trouble then now he hates him and want to get him back.

"i sit back and i think a bit, there's alot pricks around when i think of it"
" you knew me dont act like you know me, your phony"

- this is a gangsta genre. It can be a gang that have a rivalry with another gang and him and his friends are caught by this gang and the friend is secretly working with the gang that caught them to so they beat up the main character. The main character seeks revenge.
