::Song of the Week::
Well anyone who's known me for even an hour would know how I've been having a passionate affair with the love of my life. I've spent so many years putting energy and effort into making my love stronger and more involved. That's right...I'm talking about my love for the HIP HOP CULTURE!!! I'm talking about the raw, gully, cipherin' it out, b boy battlin', shake that krylon can, and spittin' them ill ass lyrics, type Hip Hop. Not the bling bling, use a kid as a novelty, rock them throwbacks, air force ones, talk about girls, cars, and money, type shit that they try to pass along for Hip Hop. This Hip Hop is the one that uses lyrics to spit abstract ideas, encourage positivity, and pushes people to come fresh and dope with their lyrics, graf art, b-boy moves, or skratches on a turntable. That's the Hip Hop I love and couldn't live without. That's the Hip Hop that I've put effort into encouraging and maintaining. *sigh* So yeah...the song of the week is Love of my Life (an Ode to Hip Hop) by Erykah Badu, featuring Common. This song pretty much sums up our relationship. All right! Enjoy!!! Thanks for stopping by!
LOVE OF MY LIFE (AN ODE TO HIP HOP) [Erykah Badu, Common]:
Right here what we gon' do is go back
Way back, oooh way back yeah
I met him when I was a
A little girl he gave
He gave me poetry
He was my first
But in my heart I knew I
Wasn't the only one
Cause when the tables turned
He had to break
(Hook)
But whenever I got lonely
Or needed some advice
He gave me his shoulder
His words were very nice
But that is all behind me,
Cause now there is no other
My love is his and his is mine,
A friend became the
(Chorus)
Love of my life
You are my friend
Love of my life
I can depend
Love of my life
Without ya baby
Feels like I sampled true love, yeah
Common:
Uh freak freak y'all and ya don't stop
Uh to the beat y'all and ya don't stop
Uh freak freak
Or would it be that it was
All just so simple then
A teenage love
But you say
He's just a friend
He moved around and we kept
In touch through his friend Mic
The world was young and we knew
We couldn't rush
(Repeat Hook and Chorus)
Common:
Y'all know how I met her
We broke up and got back together
To get her back I had to sweat her (sweat her)
Thought she roll wit bad boys forever
In many ways them boys made her better
To grow I had to let her (let her)
She needed cheddar and I understood that (that)
Lookin' for cheese that don't make her a hood rat (rat)
In fact she's a queen to me, her light beams on me
I love it when she sings to me
Ooh you do you, rock my world
Yeah (love of my life)
And you b-boy and I'll b-girl
Yeah (love of my life)
And it don't stop until the break of dawn oooh yeah yeah
(Love of my life)
Ooh you do you, rock my world
Yeah (Love of my life)
And you b-boy and I'll b-girl
Yeah (Love of my life)
And it don't stop until the break of day...
And it don't stop cause it don't quit and it won't wait...
