The worst things in life come free to us
'Cause we're just under the upper hand
And go mad for a couple grams
And she don't want to go outside tonight
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland
Or sells love to another man."
I reference this because it talks about how the people yell and she sells love and how she hopes for a better life.

This comes at the end of a tale of control and negativity, insinuating that it is evil, like the people treat Hester Prynne, an outcast and a problem.

"Love Story" 
'Cause you were Romeo. I was a Scarlet Letter, and my daddy said stay away from Juliet."
Romeo and Juliet had nothing to do with the Scarlet Letter but Taylor Swift applied it to how she was in her relationship.
