Music Inferences.

Well everybody this is kind of a boring post I apologize just get it in to your head it's all for my English class. So my teacher assigned us to pick a song and make inferences about what the artist might be trying to say, hmm... well I had to find a song so I chose the first one I heard on the radio that was appropriate, "Diddy-"Coming Home" FT. Skylar Grey." Next I had to look up the lyrics so I will post that then I will get on with my inferences!! WOOHOO!.... -_-

 
[Chorus]
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
tell the World I'm coming home
Let the rain wash away all the pain of yesterday
I know my kingdom awaits and they've forgiven my mistakes
I'm coming home, I'm coming home
tell the World that I'm coming


Back where I belong, yeah I never felt so strong
(I'm back baby)
I feel like there's nothing that I can't try
and if you with me put your hands high
(put your hands high)
If you ever lost a light before, this ones for you
and you, the dreams are for you


I hear "The Tears of a Clown"
I hate that song
I feel like they talking to me when it comes on
another day another Dawn
another Keisha, nice to meet ya, get the math I'm gone
what am I s'posed to do when the club lights come on
its easy to be Puff, its harder to be Sean
what if the twins ask why I aint marry their mom (why, damn!)
how do I respond?
what if my son stares with a face like my own
and says he wants to be like me when he's grown
shit! But I aint finished growing
another night the inevitible prolongs
another day another Dawn
just tell Taneka and Taresha I'll be better in the morn'
another lie that I carry on
I need to get back to the place I belong




[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
"A house is Not a Home", I hate this song
is a house really a home when your loved ones are gone
and niggas got the nerve to blame you for it
and you know you woulda took the bullet if you saw it
but you felt it and still feel it
and money can't make up for it or conceal it
but you deal with it and you keep ballin'
pour out some liquor, play ball and we keep ballin'
baby we've been living in sin 'cause we've been really in love
but we've been living as friends
so you've been a guest in your own home
it's time to make your house your home
pick up your phone, come on


[Chorus]


[Verse 3]
"Ain't No Stopping Us Now", I love that song
whenever it comes on it makes me feel strong
I thought I told y'all that we won't stop
we back cruising through Harlem, Viso blocks
it's what made me, saved me, drove me crazy
drove me away than embraced me
forgave me for all of my shortcomings
welcome to my homecoming
yeah it's been a long time coming
lot of fights, lot of scars, lot of bottles
lot of cars, lot of ups, lot of downs
made it back, lost my dog (I miss you BIG)
and here I stand, a better man! (a better man)
Thank you Lord (Thank you Lord)


[Chorus]


Whoa! that's a long song! alright everyone instead of making inferences about every flippin darn sentence I'm gonna' make this sweet and simple as possible. Take a look at the chorus It says "I'm coming home, I'm coming home" Could that be referring to heaven? I thought so at least because later in the chorus if you notice it says " I know my kingdom awaits and they've forgiven my mistakes" I'm thinking that they are really talking about heaven now Kingdom... forgiving of sins maybe???? yeah I think so!! And the third verse he's thanking the lord for making him a better man. so to sum things all up I think that He is telling his life story and that he wants his family and friends to be better than him. so it's a good song sorry it's not very long though hopefully you can understand what I'm saying I think you should so Listen to the video it will help and I will Blog to you all next time!
