Flesh and Blood
Mind Over Matter: Embracing the Depths of Flesh and Blood
Lyrics
My friend's flesh and blood
Referring to a close acquaintance who is real and alive.
She lies overtime
She lies excessively or beyond regular working hours.
You'd nail her if you could
Expressing a desire to possess her romantically, using a metaphorical "nail."
But she says
Despite the desire, she emphasizes the importance of being loved for her intellect rather than physical attributes.
Love me for my mind
Reiterating the plea to be loved for her mind, emphasizing intellectual connection over physical attraction.
In my time
Referring to a specific period or era in the speaker's life.
I'm not that kind
Asserting that the speaker does not fit into a stereotypical category or behavior.
My friend's flesh and blood
Reiteration of the close connection to the friend, emphasizing their tangible existence.
Night size, perfect ten
Describing the friend as physically attractive, using a metaphor of "night size" and "perfect ten."
So rude, she's no good
Characterizing the friend as impolite or offensive, suggesting she may not be a suitable partner.
But as she says
Despite negative traits, she believes that success or victory justifies certain behaviors.
It pays to win
Emphasizing the idea that achieving success or winning justifies certain actions or attitudes.
Play to win
Expressing a proactive approach to life, implying a competitive spirit.
She plays to win
Reiteration of the friend's competitive nature, highlighting her focus on winning.
My friend's flesh and blood
Reiteration of the friend's real and alive existence, emphasizing the tangible connection.
Street wise for her time
Describing the friend as knowledgeable and experienced, especially in dealing with urban life.
You'd nail her if you could
Expressing a desire for a romantic connection, using a metaphorical "nail."
But she says
Reiterating the plea to be loved for intellectual qualities rather than physical attributes.
Love me for my mind
Emphasizing the importance of being loved for the mind, reinforcing the earlier message.
In my time
Reiteration of the specific period or era in the speaker's life.
