Unveiling Life's Ballad: A Tale of Love, Freedom, and Choices
Lyrics
I said man you better watch this
I warn you to pay attention
She's gonna make a take down
She is going to bring you down
She gonna make you do right
She will guide you to do what's right
She gonna make you stay 'round
She will make you stick around
I said man you better watch this
Reiteration of the warning to be cautious
She's gonna make you do right
She will influence you to behave correctly
She's gonna keep you inside
She will keep you indoors
Make you stay around all night
She will make you stay around all night
When you want to be free
Expressing the desire to be free
As free as a bird in the breeze
Desiring freedom like a bird in the breeze
And you want to be free
Reiteration of the desire for freedom
As free as you want to be
Desiring freedom as much as one wants to
I said man you better watch this
Repetition of the warning to be watchful
She's gonna make you do right,
She will influence you to do right
She's gonna keep you inside
She will confine you indoors
Make you stay around all night
She will make you stay around all night
When you want to be free
Expressing the desire to be free again
As free as a bird in the trees
Desiring freedom like a bird in the trees
And you want to be free
Reiteration of the desire for freedom
As free as you want to be
Desiring freedom as much as one wants to
Now a bee in a birds nest never made no honey
Using metaphorical language; highlighting the futility of certain actions
And a bird in a hive sang no song
Continuation of metaphor; questioning the expected outcome
God makes the man
Acknowledging a higher power's role in creation
Man makes the money
Recognizing the influence of money in human endeavors
So who am I, and who am I to judge
Raising questions about judgment and self-awareness
Now I cry but I can't complain
Expressing a mix of emotions without vocal complaint
I supply my own ball and chain
Indicating self-sufficiency despite personal constraints
And now I'm tied tighter than the races
Feeling constrained or tied down, possibly by circumstances
So who am I,who am I to judge
Reiterating questions about personal judgment
