BEFORE YOU READ. LISTEN TO THE SONG Click HERE to listen to "A is for Apologize" simply just click "A is for Apologize" After listening, you may proceed.
I can't stress enough how much "EXTRA STUFF" is in this mini-mixtape to be uncovered that is RIGHT before your EYES. ALMOST EVERY SINGLE LINE that i wrote on this cd has a decipherable double meaning...that i want YOU to decipher. But SOOOOO many things fly over the average listener's head.
SO i'ma just break shit down...
if you still don't get it...then...oh well...im sorry.
THE FIRST JOINT I'ma BREAK DOWN IS
"A is for Apologize"
[A] {B} you {C} {D's} Apologi{E}s don't mean a {F}ing thing to a {G}
(A, B, C, D, E, F, G)
oh man...this isn't too difficult to understand.
i started the song chanting A
i ended it repeating G.
like A G.
i am A G.
lol
but yeah let's begin...
its SIMPLE MATH AND LITERATION:
A =[ALL] the shit me and her been through
B =all [BITCH] thats in her
C=[Childish], [Challenged], and [COUNTLESS] shit we be through.
now pay attention:
I can't forget the A , BUT all that B thats in her
only makes me SEE that the C is Exponential.
now let me make that clear...
I can't forget the A (all the shit we been through)
but all that B (bitch) thats in her...
only makes me SEE (double meaning here like 'C')
that the C (all the childish, challenged, and countless shit we be through) is Exponential.
Exponential because B is the reason we went through all this damn C.
Exponential like X=Y
X is the independent variable and Y is the dependent variable.
but here
B (all the bitch thats in her) is the independent variable and C (all the childish, challenged, and countless shit we be through) is the dependent variable
Get it???
now lets continue...it gets cooler.
C is the shit we've been through.
and
"the [SHIT] we [lived through] like Maggots did"
(y'all get that right?...maggots live/feed on poop)
"We used to SEE STARS like Patrick is"
(Patrick from Spongebob is a 'SEA-STAR')
"[C] Dot [B]aRz is [A]ddictive"
(see? repeating the 'C-B-A' theme again)
"I Modified You like Adjectives"
(this is easy...ad·jec·tive= the part of speech that modifies a noun)
(and to get deeper, i modified HER and SHE is a PERSON and a NOUN is a PERSON, place, or thing)
"So [ADD] that [SHIT] up, baby you gon need a Laxative"
(this is funny and slick...lol...a lax·a·tive is a medicine or agent for relieving constipation...so if u
ADD that "SHIT" up...u may end up constipated)
(and to get deeper, that "shit" is the sum of everything i just said we did,
we done lived through shit (like maggots)
we done seen the stars (like Patrick)
she was addicted to me...
AND i modified her
(her character, personality, and as an overall human being)
...so now I'm MAD!
so let's continue.
"I'm MAD as shit cuz we had more Gay Times then the fagots DID!"
(remember the word gay used to be used more for it's meaning as "HAPPY" back in the day.
so I'm saying we had more HAPPY-TIMES then the fagots did)
of course i had to let ignorant and immature people know i'm NOWHERE NEAR homosexual
so i came back with...
"No Faggot Shit, No Faggots Here, No Homo-Man/
Girls Love to SEE C.B. like the GO-GO BAND/
(Girls love to SEE CHRIS BARZ [see C.B.] like the way
girls in the go-gos love to see [C.C.B.] the Critical Condition Band)
^^^^thats a dope ass line/slash comeback for the immature haters if i must say^^^^
(pats self on back)
but the last line was better...
"BUT the [B] that's in SHE is a COLD WOMAN/
So she Left [C.] [B.] [A.] Cold, Cold MAN...
(the perfect ending by reversing ABC backwards with the C-B-A theme again, i drift off at the 16th Bar)
(and we all know...it only takes one cold hearted woman to produce a cold hearted man)
so now all the CURSING and PROFANITY makes sense right?
I stated in the ART of Rhyme that "i don't usually curse"
but it added to the emotion of being this "cold-hearted man" I am portraying (or really was).
But that concludes the first verse.
so let's continue...
"Aye B! you SEE These Apologies don't mean an F'ing thing to a G"
can be translated as...
"[A] {B} you {C} {D's} Apologi{E}s don't mean a {F}ing thing to a {G}
(this is cool and easy to get...~A,B,C,D,E,F,G~ is all there is to it)
The Second Verse...i wanted to switch it up.
i didn't want to get boring with the ABC rap or overkill it...so i introduced an analogy that was just as clever...
let's begin...
"WAVE if your SHORE you can take this Trip"
(OMG...this may have flew over alot of people's heads)
it's like i'm the teacher asking the class to WAVE there hands if they are SURE they can go on the field trip.
Double Entendre here though...;-p
you can Wave like Wave in the Ocean
if your SURE like SHORE...like sea-shore
get it????
good.
i'm comparing or relationship to a boat ride on the ocean...
let me explain...
"This Trip was Never a Relationship"/
OUR Relationship was NO Relationship/
...It Sailed away on a RELATION-SHIP"/
(Damn, this line was actually from an older poem I wrote about this girl I loved, but she's no longer relevant.)
(I don't have to explain this though, right?...OUR Journey and our relationship wasn't a relationship...it just sailed away on a Relation SHIP)
(and to get deeper, the word "relation" is VERY important here.
think...a "RELATION" ship...Relation can also mean sexual intercourse.
did she cheat on me???
did i cheat on her???
is that why it's too late to apologize???
is that why on entire relationship came to a dramatic end???
and "sailed away"???
I won't tell you.
you decide.
that's the fun part of being the author of this work!
lol
but let's continue...we're getting close to the end.
"So [Sail on By]...
Find an island to [go yell and cry]...
cuz if you don't give a hell...
i don't give a hell...
cuz you don't give a hell if i [SAIL and DIE]"
(this is pretty simple but it also has a lot of deeper layers...mainly my choice of words here.
such as the word "BY" being a double meaning for the word "BYE!"
as i bid farewell to this young lady
the words "Hell, Yell, Cry, DIE"
all pretty much have negative connotations so it's not hard to see that connection either.
and speaking of connections, the word "SAIL" represents a lost one...
we are no longer connected because i told her "sail on by"
and too get SUPER SONIC DEEP
WE Don't Have a CONNECTION anymore because she doesn't have anymore BARZ (me!)
...like a cell phone.)
^^^pats self on back again^^^
lol
the last 4 bars are...my last words to this young lady...
the first 2 go...
"A Funeral and a Musical together seems Unusual/
but my Usual is 'UN-unsual' , so i'm Using it as Usual"
(this is an obvious alliteration...with alll the US- and Un- joints
al·lit·er·a·tion- the repetition of the same sounds or of the same kinds of sounds at the beginning of words or in stressed syllables)
this is also an ALLUSION
al·lu·sion- 1.a passing or casual reference; an incidental mention of something, either directly or by implication
IF you heard the MoneyMakerz ENT song "Fallin' in ???"
i rapped,
"Don't get me wrong, i've been thinkin' bout you 2,
but I Maintain my order, i'm ordered more than a Funeral//
so she maintains her order she's ordered more than a Musical//
TOGETHER, we're the SADDEST of the SADDEST of the SADDEST songs...
that that is, th-th-THAT IS, th-th-THAT IS WRONG!
i referenced the line "A Funeral and a Musical together seems Unusual/
but my Usual is 'UN-unsual' , so i'm Using it as Usual"
to the MoneyMAkerz joint i did.
so now it makes sense right???
funeral songs are the saddest songs...
shiiiiiiiiiit...think Titanic...when they were playin the violins when the ship was sinking...
our Relation-SHIP was long gone...so it was as sad and usual as a funeral musical.
and only me, BaRzio!, would think of some shit like that right???
EXACTLY!
that explains why...
"my usual is UNUSUAL, so I'm using it as usual"
get it now???
GOOD!
Now to the LAST and FINAL 2 bars of VERSE 2
"Not saying that your USUAL/
Darling, your so beautiful/
...but [all ROSES have Thorns], [ALL Trojans have Swords...]
and YOURS got US at WAR!"
(once again, the perfect ending to a beautifully constructed verse.
I didn't want her to think that I thought she was just usual.
she's beautiful, like a rose...
but all roses have thorns and all Trojans have swords.
The word choice for Trojans here is important too...
this may cause you to ask yourself:
why say trojans???
did he find a used trojan condom???
if Trojans have swords?
don't all used condoms belong to penises???
SHE DID CHEAT, didn't she!!?
well...
i'll never tell!
just know whatever her "sword" is got us at war.
and now it's too late to apologize...
the last new thought that I express is:
"She Never Ever Ever Said the Weather Gon' Get Better Cuz She Never Ever Meant for us to [B] Don't Ever Ever Ever say the Weather Gon' Get Better Cuz You Never Ever Meant for us to [C]"
(here i'm just reinforcing the ABC joint again)
"[A] {B} you {C} {D's} Apologi{E}s don't mean a {F}ing thing to a {G}
Lastly,
The young lady's voice at the end of the song is meant to serve as a flashback.
It's the lovely Desiree'
but do NOT think that this song is about HER
because it is not, sorry.
thank you.
That Concludes this Episode of BaRzio's 99.9% Song/Lyric Breakdown for the Average Listener.
