UNstoppable

HAPPY FRIDAY LOVES!

SUGAR BAR

NY NY 10023

This is one of my favorite Drake verses... although when I rap along I change the words as follows to make it my own :)

My name is Lesha, and I ain't perfect.
But I work hard, so deserve it.
And I belong right where you see me...
I ain't on the fence about it-
I ain't Mr. Feeny
Nah, I got a decent set of manners,
and a job that fills up any empty schedule or planner.
And I hang out with girls, caught up with superficial glamour-
We dress like Sarah Jessica,
and live like princess Diana.
Some of us have addictions, and Drake said that he'll feed it.
But truly we're bad enough, that we don't even really need it.
We can show up at the party on dirty public transit
and i garauntee that the cameraman will still be snappin' candids
of me and my posse partying
drinking what they get handed
with our virgin island tans
all looing like we just landed
You wont understand it.
But I hope that you can comprehend it-
cuz we;re sure having fun with whoever's money we spending...

Singing I've got to be UNSTOPPABLE!

HAPPY FRIDAY :)

Neva eva try to resist oh no...

This was playing in my head when I woke up... That is all.



He said...

Turn your lights down low, and pull your window curtain.
Oh and let Jah moon come shining in... into our lives again.
Saying oooh, it's been a long long time- i got this message for you girl.
But it seems i was never on time... did I wanna get through to you girl?
On time, On time.
I want to give you some love.
I want to give you some good good lovin.
Oh I, Oh I, Oh I...
I want to give you some good good lovin...
(Bob Marley)

She said...

Loving you is like a song i replay, every three minutes and thirty seconds of every day. And every chorus was written for us to recite. Every beautiful melody of devotion every night. It's potion like this ocean might carry me. In a wave of emotion and ask you to marry me.
Every word every second and every third- expresses the happiness more clearly than ever heard. And when I play them every chord is a poem. Telling the Lord how grateful I am cuz I know him. The harmonies posess a sensation, similar to your caress. If you asking- then I'm telling you it's yes.
Stand in love, take my hand and Jah Bless.
(Lauryn Hill)

smh... Good Morning.

Stay warm.. find you somebody :)

Been a couple days, shouldnta left you (left you) without a dope beat to step to...

Heeey... sooo... there's so many songs in my mind from hour to hour - day to day. Its hard to choose which one to post. Which one stands out? But I will say this... it's getting cold up here on the east coast. I'm back and forth between Philly and NY and it's about that time... BOO time. LOL and no i'm not referencing halloween in any way. LOL

It's sooooooo cold out here in these streets yo... I could use somebody... someone like you *wink*

I've been walking around I've been looking down at all I see
painted faces fill the spaces I can't reach. You know that I could use somebody. You know that I could use somebody.

Someone like you, and all you know and how you speak. Countless overs under cover of the street. You know that I could use somebody. You know that I could use somebody. Someone like you.

Off in the night, while you live it up I'm off to sleep. Waging wars to shake the poet and the beat. I hope it's gonna make you notice. I hope it's gonna make you notice. Someone like me.
Someone like me.
Someone like me.
Sombody.

Im ready now.

NIcety

So... today I'm feeling a little frisky :) One of those days when you just LOVE being a girl... and all the contradictions that come with it! I started reading this book called Eleven Minutes (shout out to the blush book club---> @blushbookclub on twitter) and it starts out with a poem... I know I KNOW! this blog is about LYRICS to SONGS- but we will get to that ... but I jut have to share this. It is just so... me... and every other girl I know :)

For I am the first and the last

I am the venerated and the despised

I am the prostitute and the saint

I am the wife and the virgin

I am the mother and the daughter

I am the arms of my mother

I am barren and my children are many

I am the married woman and the spinster

I am the woman who gives birth and the one who never procreated

I am the consolation for the pain of birth

I am the wife and the husband

And it was my man who created me

I am the mother of my father

I am the sister of my husband

And he is my rejected son

Always respect me

For I am the shameful and the magnificent one.

So that might have been a little deep... so for the sake of jammin' which is what this blog is all about... i'm gonna go ahead and take it way back... 1989...

Some people think i'm nice... some people think i'm nasty

but if you want to know just ask meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee... and i'll say I'm NICETY

Another Day... I'll take yo pain away :)

Yo... living in NY is crazy sometimes. Being and ARTIST is crazy sometimes. Lonely. Sad. Fun. Krunk. Writers Block. Miss your family. Best days of your life. See old friends. Meet new ones. Gigs. Shows. High. Low.... some days you just dont know... you gotta tip on the tight rope...

Cuz baby whether you're high or low. Whether you're high or low...
You gotta tip on the tightrope...

I can't complain about it, just gotta keep my balance...
And just keep dancing on it.
We gettin' funky on the scene, yea you know about it.
Like a STARR on the screen.
Watch me tip up on it...
- Janelle Monae "Tightrope"

Liberation...

Shake dat load off, shake dat load off, shake dat load off, shake dat load off...

Smoke in ya face, you're a superstar
Niggas hang a round cause of who ya are..
You get a lot of love cause of what you got.
They say they happy for you but they really not.
Sell a lotta records and you roll a benz.
Swoll up in the spot, now you losing friends.
All you wanna do is give the world your heart,
But the record label make you compromise your art.
You make a million dollas, make a million mo'
First class broad treat cha like a nigga poor.
You wanna say wait, but you scared to act...
As you world starts spinning and it's moving fast.
Tryna stay sane- that's the price of fame.
Spend your whole life tryna numb the pain.
You shake that load off and sang yo' song.
Liberate the minds the ya go on home...
- Erykah Badu (Aquemini Album by Outkast: Liberation)
