Honest
M.F Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tho' women's minds, like winter winds,
May shift, and turn, an' a' that,
The noblest breast adores them maist-
A consequence I draw that.

Chorus

For a' that, an' a' that,
And twice as meikle's a' that;
The bonie lass that I loe best
She'll be my ain for a' that.

Great love I bear to a' the fair,
Their humble slave, an' a' that;
But lordly will, I hold it still
A mortal sin to thraw that.
For a' that, &c.

But there is ane aboon the lave,
Has wit, and sense, an' a' that;
A bonie lass, I like her best,
And wha a crime dare ca' that?
For a' that, &c.

In rapture sweet this hour we meet,
Wi' mutual love an' a' that,

But for how lang the flie may stang,
Let inclination law that.
For a' that, &c.

Their tricks an' craft hae put me daft.
They've taen me in, an' a' that;
But clear your decks, and here's-"The Sex!"




I like the jads for a' that.
For a' that, &c.

Overall Meaning

The song "Honest" by M.F. reflects on the fickleness of women's minds and the consequences of that on the love of men. The first stanza claims that even though women are unpredictable, the most respectable men love them the most, and the chorus reiterates the idea that regardless of their qualities and eccentricities, the bonniest lass will always be the one he loves the most. In the second stanza, the song's narrator acknowledges that he loves all women equally, but he believes that forcing his will over them represents a sin, and lordly power should be avoided. The following stanza introduces the analogy that while all women are desirable in their ways, some supercede the others in wit and sense. To the singer, the woman he loves is that bonnie lass. Finally, in the last stanza, the song takes a twist with the lyrics describing how the tricks and craft of women have driven him mad, but he still declares his love for them and their sex.

Despite it all, I still love these cunning women.

🗣Repent Israelites all praise to the most high YAHAWAH AND HIS SON YAHAWASHI🤴🏽🦁👑🐑🛸🔥.

The so called black man, Latino, and Native Americans are the Israelites. Yahawah chosen people. That are scattered in all nations through our fathers. Making them Israelite foreigners/Scattered sheep/The multitude

Yahawashi speaking: Matthew 15:24
“But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

Deuteronomy 7:6 “For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.

Isaiah 14:1
“For the LORD will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob

Isaiah 14:2
“And the people shall take them, and bring them to their place: and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the LORD for servants and handmaids: and they shall take them captives, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.”

2 Esdras 6:9
“For Esau is the end of the world, and Jacob is the beginning of it that followeth.”
