It’s just one of those days… I believe I was 6 years old when this song came out and I had just moved to Toronto. But um, is it only me or does the red head Rihanna remind me of T-Boz‘s swag (outfit and all) in this video? Ah well.
Ohhhh the Usher I’d fall in love with all over again…
I’ve been trying to figure out this song all day and thanks to Spinz, I got it. I present to you… “Only You”
Throwback Jerseys. Matching Fitteds. Men wearing Pink. Crip Walking. Headbands.
We’ve come a long way.
These hot-headed youngsters, always get into trouble
Reactin before thinkin, they easily irritated
And murder’s premeditated, it’s a fact that we sinkin
when we should be climbin, in a nutshell, it’s just jail
Drug sales, liquor and diamonds, niggaz rewindin
instead of movin forward, to blow up so what’s the science?
People shoutin, police pushin the crowd
And on the ground’s a young soldier, with meat hangin out him
Am I hallucinatin off the hazin?
Or did I just see a nigga shoot another nigga’s face in
It’s a ugly nation, cops circle the block with mug shots
Photograph pictures of, suspect faces
It’s usually, two or three niggaz who innocent
But if they lock the wrong ones up, then someone’ll snitch
A divide and fall strategy, they aren’t fair
I dig in my bag of weed that’s covered with orange hair
This Color Purple’ll make Whoopi give me the pussy
Celie, Oprah and Danny Glover gots to feel me
This is how I escape the madness, too much of anything’ll hurt you
So, my state of mind’s all purple
Who remembers this!? I sure do. Lil Kim was bangin’ back in the day! You see the Aaliyah cameo? RIP Babygirl…
Lil Kim the Queen Bee, so you best take heed. Shall I proceed? (Yes indeed!)
I’m in the mood to drop some music I remember hearing as I was growing up in Montréal, Québec. This is “Gotta Get You Home” by Blackstreet and Foxy Brown. I was maybe 6 when this came out? My older brothers and cousins would bump this on the boom box and what not… I miss when music was like this… I won’t lie. Enjoy :-)
