Well, there is actually only one rapper in the group, Common, and he appears on just one of the seven tracks on their EP, ''The Pursuit''. Otherwise, the focus here remains on the musicianship and soulful/R&B-leaning vocals of Steve Wyreman, Rob Kinelski, Kevin Randolph, James Fauntleroy, Makeba, Rod Smith, and others.
Nameless
Cocaine 80s Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I, would call it love if it rhymed
But I need the perfect word
I even rehearsed it first
So I won't get confused
So I know how to use, this thing
Girl, it's the only truth
It's the only damn thing
That could get us through
The word is you
And the word is you
It's you baby
It's you baby
Ohhhhhh
It's you baby
The lyrics to the Cocaine 80s song Nameless are an ode to a kind of love that defies explanation. The singer of the song struggles to find the right words to describe how he feels, stating that he would call it love if it rhymed, but that isn't enough. He needs the perfect word, and he's even rehearsed it so he won't get confused. The only thing that he knows for sure is that this feeling, this love, is the only truth in his life--the only thing that will get them through.
The song is a testament to the power of love--even when it's difficult to describe, even when it doesn't make sense, it can be the one thing that saves us. The repetition of "It's you baby" at the end of the song drives this point home--that this love, this feeling, is embodied in one person, and that that person is everything.
Overall, Nameless is a beautiful testament to the power of love and how it can carry us through even the toughest times. The lyrics are poetic and insightful, and the melody is hauntingly beautiful.

8 Years later, my dad passed away in 2012. It‘s been a fucked up time back then, full of drugs, lost in life. This song helped I think. Sometimes like now, I come back to remember. Thanks God for everything
