Jay Z spouts some turgid rubbish about positives and being crazy right now. The subject now apparently assumes ownership over the featured headline artiste of this number (a certain Beyonce, best known surely for her starring role in Goldmember…kinda) and whilst some would like to believe this to be the case, there are economic and more importantly moral implications as a result of this which I am just not interested in. Mr. Z would also like to add that this is history in the making…quite how I am unaware but we’ll see I suppose (perhaps it’s the first R&B song to deal with communism and the cold war or something).
I look and stare so deep in your eyes I touch on you more and more every time When you leave I'm beggin you not to go Call your name two, three times in a row Such a funny thing for me to try to explain How I'm feeling and my pride is the one to blame Yeah, cause I know I don't understand Just how your love can do what no on else can
Beyonce stares into the eyes of the subject, trying to “touch” the subject more and more. Quite what this is supposed to mean I don’t know, but it I clear that Beyonce has grown some form of attachment to this subject – the sort that I personally would not encourage in this modern business orientated world. It is clear that Beyonce cannot bear to live life without this subject; whenever the subject deems it necessary to part company with Ms. Knowles (perhaps after seeing the standard of other men she’s dated, such as one Poweres esquire) she begs and begs for him not to do so; this air of desperation, whilst attractive to some men (step forward Jay), hardly portrays her in a full amount of dignity. She uses the art of repetition in order to put these points forth, it’s the art of repetition that she feels will be the only way for her to explain this apparently “funny feeling” – well I certainly don’t get it and through the art of repetition I haven’t quite seen the point yet. This subject and his love can do what no-one else can or wants to; boo hoo. Stop complaining and get on with it Beyonce.
Got me lookin so crazy right now Your love's got me lookin so crazy right now (Your love) Got me lookin so crazy right now your touch's Got me lookin so crazy right now (Your touch) Got me hoping you page me right now your kiss's Got me hoping you save me right now Lookin so crazy your love's got me lookin Got me lookin so crazy your love
It would appear that Beyonce is looking like she belongs in some form of Government-sanctioned mental institution. This has been caused by the chap who Beyonce has been concerned with lately, and I can’t say that I’m at all surprised by this. Not only has his “love” made her go all loopy and nutty, the merest touch that he provides makes her want to beat a security over the head, steal his keys and attempt an escape only for it all to be botched by the apparently lovable security dog at the end of it. She hopes that he will attempt to communicate her using his hi-tech brand-new 1990’s pager; he’s a man of modern day class it would seem.
When I talk to my friends so quietly
"Who he think he is?" Look at what you've done to me
Tennis shoes don't even need to buy a new dress
You ain't there, ain't nobody else to impress
It's the way that you know what I thought I knew
It's the beat that my heart skips when I'm with you
Yeah, but I still don't understand
Just how your love can do what no one else can
She mutters to her friends asking about what this chap has done to her, and who exactly he thinks he is (James Bond? Alan Partridge?). She then makes a bizarre throwaway comment regarding tennis shoes and whether or not they are able to purchase clothing (does she mean this in a monetary sense? i.e. I’ll give you 20 pairs of Tennis Shoes in exchange for that dress good sir, or does she mean tennis shoes have some sort of soul which they use in order to purchase items of clothing and the such like). This man apparently has some of the freakiest senses ever; he seems to know what Beyonce thinks that she knows which is confusing and that and I don’t quite know how it works. Beyonce still doesn’t seem to understand the concept of love and what it does to people, although the fact that such a minor and bizarre concept (to me) can reduce someone to insanity is somewhat scary.
Young hova Ya'll know when the flow is loco Young b and the r-o-c uh oh O-g, big homie The one and only Stick boney but the pockets are fat like tony Soprano the roc handle Like van exel I shake phonies man, you can't get next to A genuine article, I do not sing tho I sling though, if anything I bling yo
There are a number of phrases here that I can’t really comprehend so we’ll have to fill in the blanks together. “Hova”? “Loco”? “b and the r-o-c uh oh”? “O-g?” There are a number of others which have served only to confuse me – I have no idea who this Van Exel is, and I can only assume that when Jay shakes his phonie that she is waving her mobile phone about. He slings instead of singing (that would explain a lot as to why he and beyonce thinks they can call this dross music), and if anything all he is is bling. Fantastic.
Star like ringo War like a green berret You're crazy bring your whole set Jay-Z in the range Crazy and deranged They can't figure him out They're like "hey is he insane?" Yes sir I'm cut from a different cloth My texture is the best fur, I'm chinchilla I've been ill of the chain smokers How you think I go the name hova I've been reala' The game's over Fall back young ever since I made you change over to platinum The game's been a wrap One
I hate to do the same joke twice in the space of a week, but sometimes you don’t need to analyse lyrics to see just how much of a twat someone is. “Yes sir I’m cut from a different cloth” – what is he revealing here, some sort of messiah complex? Jay Z it would seem is claiming here that he’s the new Jesus Christ, the man who will heal humanity and help us all achieve salvation – as long as we all buy his records anyway. Those who don’t purchase the wares of our Mr. Z will be cruficied, such are apparently the wants of God (indeed God always seems to be represented as some sort of white grandfather – no-one ever seems to think of him being straight from the ‘hood or anything like that).
Got me looking so crazy, my baby I'm not myself lately I'm foolish, I don't do this I've been played myself Baby I don't care Cuz your love got the best of me And baby you're making a fool of me You got me sprung and I don't care who sees Cuz baby you got me so crazy
Beyonce would seem to be looking crazily at babies – in other words, she is in a brooding mood. She has not been herself lately, and openly admits that she’s a bit of a fool. Yes, she is a bit of a fool. She was foolish enough to agree to partake in this farce of a hip hop/R&B single (and I refuse to call R&B what it is these days, R&B surely should be more along the lines of Led Zeppelin and classic Rhythm and Blues bands, not just Craig David and the gang) and whilst I know that due to the hegemony of society it enjoyed great commercial success, in reality it has all the artistic merit of a rotting tree stump which a horse has freshly defecated on.
