"Out of the night that covers me..."

Here it is, THE place to get your lyrical questions answered, not necessarily accurately, but hopefully very humourously

, by the B+ and above minds that post on GC. Have a song lyric that you've always wondered about? Well, wonder no more! Post your questionable lyrics here & someone will (eventually) provide an explaination.

Question #1: What, exactly, is "Symphin' " and why ain't it easy?

"I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul."

Can someone please tell me exactly what a "wanksta" is? I am always bobbing my head with the song comes on the radio, but I'm not sure what it really means. I have an idea, but I've been wrong before.

Wanksta = wack gangsta, Ja Fool and Murder Stink.

Ok, yall remember that song, "It's On," by Mary J. Blige and R. Kelly? WHO is Mary talking to in the song???

"I waited all my life
for you to come along
and make that joyful sacrifice
two kids a dog and a home
is a like dream come to life
WHEN I LOOK INTO YOUR DADDY'S EYES"

Is she talking to the kid? Cuz later she says, "All of my life I've waited to get next to you. And every night I pray that your love will come my way. And finally the time has come for us to meet."

"It's on tonight. It's about that we met. And it's about time, a love I won't forget."

W.I.T.H are they talking about???

I think R. Kelly wrote the song, and he forgot not everyone loves the kids. Mary probably just sung it and didn't pay attention to the words.

According to www.ohhla.com, someone who claims to have played to song backwards in order to verify the lyrics says that line is actually saying "I put my thing down, flip it, and reverse it" in reverse. Since I have no technology to play songs bakwards, I'll just take their word for it.

One song that drives me nuts is Toni Braxton's "I Love Me Some Him" off her second CD. I loved the song until I noticed the lyrics "you took the ease off my mind, and put it behind me". Maybe I'm listening to it the wrong way, but don't you want your mind to be eased? Wouldn't taking the ease off someone's mind be a negative thing?

That is what she's saying. MTV confirmed it the week her album came out. Unfortunately, the link is not up no more since they are not giving folks free access to her album.

In the song My Humps she says "Fendi and Nadonna" in one line. What is "Nadonna"? No its not Madonna, its Nadonna.
This is really bugging me

Don't feel bad, I had to listen to it a million times before I figured it out. She said:

"Dolce and Gabanna...Fendi and that Donna...Karan, they be sharin' all their money..."

there's really not much else there. i mean, once you read the lyrics in "english" they still don't make sense.
