During my hiatus from lifestyle blogs, I honestly haven’t been listening to much music. I haven’t been doing much of anything but going to work and attempting to push myself out of these imaginative boundaries I’ve created. Recently, I have been getting back into the cycle of things. I’ve been feeling more which is leading me to search for more. More to experience. More to remember. More newness. It’s summer. Let’s feel good. Let’s fall in love. Let’s make the most of it.
Here are 7 songs on repeat at the moment.
“On my way to the top, yeah it’s gotta happen
All my niggas gone ride, yeah they gotta have it
I’m a shine for them times we ain’t never have it
I’m a wild for the nights we ain’t never have it...”
(credit to Alexis for putting me on!!)
“When you feeling turbulence and your ways doesn’t get rocky
When you need someone to talk to, you can come to me
It’s not your sex even not your beauty, you’re my friend...”
“I stay to myself
I’ll explain myself
I can’t play myself
Oh, first night
Holy night
Five in the morning, yeah
And it feels like you’re mine...”
“If I ride with you, better know that I’mma ride for you
Better know that we can live for each other
That don’t mean I gotta die for you...”
“All you niggas lame, I ain’t gotta pay (shit)
You know talk is cheap
Ain’t talking money, ain’t no conversating
I’ve been leanin’ all day, I’m faded...”
“I had asked myself
So, what would you do if she left?
What would you do?
Would I find someone to distract myself?
Detach myself
Get my mind off you
This is far from the end
Got a nigga in a frenzy
Only you would understand
Oh, when I used to be your man...”
“Even though I live my life on the road
Doesn’t mean I don’t have time for you
Plenty have tried, almost came close
But none of them compare to you
So let’s live our life, more than one night
Promise if I could, I’d do it twice...”
“Don’t you never trust, it’s important
Ever heard of that, is it foreign to you?
Is a good time really boring to you...”
I have to talk about that last joint real quick. I love Jazmine Sullivan, her voice is so nice. Need U Bad was one of the first songs I had heard where the woman admitted she was wrong, and Jazmine will forever be the GOAT for that. My jam. Second off, they sampled my favorite Pleasure P song Rock Bottom with one of my favorite Wayne verses ever. I never knew anybody knew about that song, with the exception of Dbaze of course. I remember one of my friends at the time was going through a break up, this had to be 9th or 10th grade, and I played him Rock Bottom off of my iPod video to help him get through things. His first reaction was how it had only been two days and in Pleasure's verse he says "it's been two days since you left me." I always think of how we stayed up until 1am talking about love and how every woman back then was the one. These days it seems to be opposite, but I think I got me one. P!!!
