BODY COUNT TO A KING

ANT SAYIN' NO NAMES

SHOCK A DANG-A-LANG

This haunting lyrical narrative explores a man's spiritual downfall through materialism and moral decay. The recurring moon imagery symbolizes exposure of sins and inner darkness as the protagonist grapples with hollow pursuits of wealth ("Money took its place") and fame ("gold plated name"). Themes of regret, existential despair ("lost & lonely ache"), and irreversible corruption dominate, culminating in a soul's damnation. Symbolic references to "snake eyes," "demons," and a "bullet proof vest" underscore destructive choices and self-deception, while the cyclical structure mirrors inescapable consequences.

WHEN THE MOON COMES OUT

This passionate anthem emphasizes boundless, selfless devotion through hyperbolic promises of overcoming any obstacle ("walk on water," "kick in any door"). The lyrics portray love as an unstoppable force driven by purity, healing ("I’m the cure"), and unconditional commitment to fulfill a partner’s needs, no matter how extreme.  

WHATEVER YOU NEED

This introspective song explores themes of internal conflict, spiritual struggle, and moral duality. The narrator grapples with self-worth while acknowledging hidden darkness ("evil under the hood"), caught between aspirations for growth and relapse into destructive patterns. Repeated motifs of resistance to faith/reason, hopeless interventions, and sorrowful reflection reveal a cyclical battle with personal demons and identity crises.

I STAND IN THE WAY

This poignant song captures the arduous journey of healing from lost love, where acceptance battles persistent memories ("echoes of past smiles"). The song confronts shattered confidence and fragile emotional defenses, masking raw pain behind a "weary brave smile." Themes of eroded faith, suffocating comparisons to past relationships, and fleeting hope underscore the tension between clinging to nostalgia and embracing reality.

A WEARY BRAVE SMILE

This lyrical exploration contrasts love's euphoric potential with its devastating aftermath, framing heartbreak as an inevitable "maze of pain." The work emphasizes the paradox of nostalgic memories turning torturous ("reminiscent smiles are half the pain") and the universal pretense of resilience ("brave face"). It exposes love’s lingering grip—unforgotten emotions that "seep deeper" despite efforts to move on—culminating in a vow of cautious self-protection against future attachments, acknowledging love’s dual power to exalt and destroy.

A PROMISE TO BEWARE


The lyrics express a heartfelt offer of unconditional emotional support and physical comfort to someone in distress. The narrator emphasizes empathy ("I see the hidden tears"), reliability ("strong arms to hold you"), and selfless intentions ("no strings attached"), urging the listener to voice their needs openly. The song centers on creating a safe space for vulnerability, trust, and healing through genuine care rather than transactional or superficial motives.  


TELL ME

The lyrics express a man's anguish over perceived betrayal in a relationship, contrasting his self-image as a hardworking provider with his partner's alleged manipulation ("balls in a vice"). Themes include gender distrust, eroded morals, and societal decay, framed through biblical references (Jezebel) and critiques of modern values. The narrator pleads for grace to understand why loyalty collapsed despite his sacrifices, reflecting bitterness toward divorce culture and emotional exploitation.  

PLEASE GIVE ME GRACE

The lyrics explore the harsh lessons of repeated mistakes and betrayal, emphasizing resilience through painful experiences. Key themes include avoiding naivety ("Only a fool falls twice"), betrayal by partners ("gold digger wife") and friends ("fake friends"), and the high cost of misplaced trust. The narrator reflects on enduring emotional pain while reclaiming dignity, stressing that life’s unpredictable challenges demand self-awareness and growth to avoid paying a "helluva price."

ONLY A FOOL FALLS TWICE

The lyrics portray raw anguish from a one-sided, exploitative relationship where the narrator sacrificed everything ("my heart, my soul, my joy & pain") only to face betrayal and emotional devastation. Themes of shattered trust ("swallowed the lies"), desperate pleas ("begging please"), and irreversible heartbreak ("broken man left in shame") culminate in a cycle of tears and mental collapse, reflecting the toll of unreciprocated love and self-loss.  

I CRY CRY CRY

The lyrics depict a chaotic narrative of reckless ambition, materialism, and betrayal. The protagonist seeks power ("money," "harem"), makes Faustian bargains with an untrustworthy ally ("true & trusted friend"), and faces catastrophic consequences ("ran into a tree"). Christine, likely symbolizing a vengeful force or karma, ultimately takes control ("behind the wheel"), highlighting themes of self-destruction, transactional relationships, and the futility of hollow desires.  

CHRISTINE

The lyrics celebrate intense physical attraction and sensual pleasure through vivid, metaphor-rich imagery centered on a charismatic woman ("Sweet Georgia peach"). Themes of mutual desire, playful seduction ("zealous tease"), and uninhibited intimacy ("ride it / play with the set") dominate, blending admiration for the woman’s confidence and allure with raw, passionate energy.  

SWEET GEORGIA PEACH

The lyrics depict a critique of the exploitative pursuit of the "American Dream," portraying a figure (symbolizing Sean "Diddy" Combs) trapped in a cycle of wealth, fame, and systemic oppression. Themes include dehumanization, racial exploitation ("tap dancing in hell," "black face"), and the illusion of success masking moral decay and incarceration ("cell at M.D.C"). The protagonist’s downfall—driven by greed, performative identity, and complicity in oppressive systems—reflects a broader critique of celebrity culture and systemic inequality.

A CELL AT MDC

The lyrics contrast two types of masculinity: one rooted in genuine love, emotional support, and lifelong commitment ("strong arms," "loves you from his soul"), and another defined by materialism, superficial status symbols ("flashy by the band," "keeps up by the brand"), and loyalty to societal expectations over personal relationships ("die for what he do, but won’t die for you"). The song advocates for authenticity, emotional security, and enduring partnership over performative masculinity.

IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A MAN

The lyrics chronicle a journey of self-healing and resilience after heartbreak, emphasizing incremental progress ("move another inch") through inner strength and self-reliance. Themes of rebuilding ("brand new start"), confronting pain ("heart’s in a vice"), and rejecting external validation ("no guarantees / unless you roll up your sleeves") underscore the transformative power of perseverance, self-love, and fighting for personal truth.
