Ray Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From all this negativity
Music takes me to a place
Where my mind can be at ease
Yeah I got my swag on
Get it twisted
In da name of love
Haterz, who you think you is
Why you runnin' your mouth
All up in my biz
Still unlimited
You're so limited
Recognize style
Cause I'm oh so kickin' it
Yeah you know where I got it from
When I grab the mic
It explodes like a bomb
I put it down for the white, the yellow, the purple
All come around in a circle
I put it down for the white, the yellow, the purple
All come around in a circle
It's not only what you want
It's only what you can get
Out of it
In da name of love
It's not only what you want
It's only what you can get
Out of it
In da name of love
Take me to the star
Let your love rain down on me
Embrace me with the music
And set me free
I got my hands up in the air
Take me away
Cause I don't care no more
'Bout what tommorow brings
Until the fat lady sings
I'm getting out of control
I'm losing my mind
I'm getting out of control
I'm losing my mind
In da name of love
I'm losing my mind
I'm getting out of control
I'm losing my mind
In da name of love
It's not only what you want
It's only what you can get
Out of it
In da name of love
It's not only what you want
It's only what you can get
Out of it
In da name of love
When I need to get away
From all this negativity
Music takes me to a place
Where my mind can be at ease
I got my hands up in the air
Take me away
Cause I don't care no more
'Bout what tomorrow brings
Until the fat lady sings
I'm getting out of control
I'm losing my mind
I'm getting out of control
I'm losing my mind
In da name of love
I'm losing my mind
I'm getting out of control
I'm losing my mind
In da name of love
It's not only what you want
It's only what you can get
Out of it
In da name of love
It's not only what you want
It's only what you can get
Out of it

Finally, something that's worth making a comeback for! It's nice to see they tried to mix both classic and modern sounds in this track. This gives such a heartwarming result. They're succeeding where Haddaway & Dr. Alban failed with their "I love the 90's", which was too Housy and had nothing to do with the 90's outside of the lyrics. I hope this trend will go on, because in my opinion, this is the way to go. Good luck in the charts, Ray & Anita! And here's hoping for an international release!
