Lyrics
Got a sore throat and I keep choking
I didn’t say what a mess I’m in
hard to speak up when I’m so private
give me 2 cents like I asked for it
The way you see it
it seems so far away (ooooh)
you know I feel it, work through my
co-dependency (ooohhh)
I, I need a lot but
I can give you what you’re wanting
love like crazy
I, I need a lot but
you’ll get more than what I’m taking
pretty baby
Lookin at me like an animal (you got me)
starting to question my own judgement
maybe i cry when its laughable (i live by)
felling it out, I’m emotional
if you’re in the mood to turn it up, turn me up baby
Don’t, don’t, say no
you know, i try, i might
hold on a little hard, too tight, tonight, i’m hitting a wall
"
In Rainsford's song "2 Cents," the artist showcases her vulnerability by openly admitting to having a sore throat and struggling to communicate her feelings. The lyrics suggest that she has a hard time expressing herself, particularly when it comes to personal matters, and is seeking advice or insight from someone else. She states, "give me 2 cents like I asked for it," implying that she's been asking for help but perhaps not receiving it.
The chorus of the song is particularly poignant, with Rainsford expressing her desires for love and connection: "I, I need a lot but/I can give you what you’re wanting/love like crazy/I, I need a lot but/you’ll get more than what I’m taking/pretty baby." These lines suggest that even though she may need a lot from others, she is capable of giving just as much in return.
The song continues with Rainsford admitting to feeling like an "animal" and questioning her own judgment. However, she also acknowledges her emotional nature and asks to be "turned up" if her partner is in the mood. By the end of the song, she seems to be hitting a wall and holding on too tight, suggesting that despite her willingness to give and receive love, there are moments when it all becomes too much.
Overall, "2 Cents" is a raw and honest portrayal of Rainsford's struggles with communication, self-doubt, and the search for love and connection.

I’m blown away by her talent. I’ve been listening to all of her songs on repeat for weeks and they never get old. They always sound fresh! Her dad Paul was a singer - a one song hottie but he was great!! It’s called please please. Check it out. I’m so impressed by Rainsford Q!!!
