Song of the Week 5/24/10

Mattafix - I To You

Oh yeah
In so many ways
I'm not a fighter I'm a lover
This aint the old days I'm a 21st century brotha

And if you don't know
Who I am
You will never know
You don't know, so you try to keep it on the down low
Unless you wanna tell me when I ask you:
Who am I to you?

Yo mama don't know
Yo daddy aint sho
Who am I to you?

Everybody you know
Passed me straight on the road
Now I'd like to know who am I to you?

The sun is going down
An the streets are getting empty
I'm a stranger in your town
I'll be your friend if you would let me

And if you don't know
Who I am
You will never know
You don't know, So you try to keep it on the down low
Unless you wanna tell me when I ask you;
Who I am to you

Yo mama don't know
Yo daddy and sho
Who am I to you?
(Who I, who I)

Every body you know (Who I, who I)
Passed me straight on the road (Who I, who I)
Now id like to know (brotha)
Who am I to you? (brotha)

You don't know
Never know
Don't know
Down low
Unless you
Ask you
Who I am to you?

Yo mama don't know
Yo daddy aint sho
Who I am to you?
Everybody you know passed me straight on the road
Now I'd like to know, Who I am to you

Song of the Week 5/17/10

Alicia Keys - Wait Til You See My Smile


When the wind is blowing in your face
Sometimes in life you don't see straight
Pray to Him and He will show
When your head is in a certain place
Nobody around to make you safe
Stand strong and you will grow

[Chorus:]
Oh
Wait till you see my smile
Oh
Wait till they see your smile

Don't they love to see you down
Kick you while you are in the ground
Don't let emotions show
People always speculate
Don't let it get in your way
They say things they don't know

[Chorus]

So you're doing better now
Everybody comes around
But you don't really need 'em
'cause you're stronger and you're better
And you're ready for whatever

[Chorus x2]

Song of the Week 5/3/10

Busta Rhymes - "We Made It"


[Chester Bennington]
Together we made it
We made it even though we had our backs
Up against the wall

[Busta Rhymes]
See a nigga survived the worst
But my life is glorious (uh!)
But I know that I leaped every hurdle
And I'm so victorious (uh!)
Take a look I'm a symbol of greatness
Now call a nigga Morpheus (yeah)
As force securin' the win, but they
Believe I'm so notorious (yeah)
You know that I've been 'bout my bread
Even though we rappin' now (yes)
We used to live on the strip even though
A nigga higher level trappin' now (oh!)
Superseded everyone of my little struggles and (uh!)
So your head never ever been an option (trust)
A nigga paper long like rush hour traffic
And I'm about to take the hood shoppin' (get it!)

[Chorus: Chester Bennington (Busta Rhymes)]
Together we made it (you see we did it niggas)
We made it even though we had our backs
Up against the wall (come on)
Forever we waited (ah hah)
And they told us we were never gonna
Get it But we took it on the road
(To the riches)
on the road
(To the ghetto)
on the road
(In the projects, to this bangin' instrumental)
on the road
(Rise with me)
on the road
(Come and get it)
on the road

[Mike Shinoda]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yo
When it all got started we were steadily
Just getting rejected
And it seemed like nothin' we could do
would ever get us respected
At best we were stressed at the worst
They probably said we're pathetic
Had all the pieces to that puzzle
Just the way to connect it
I was fighting through every rhyme
Tightening up every line
Never restin' the question if I
Was out of my mind
It finally came time to do it and let it die
So we put the chips on the table and
Told them to let it ride, sing it (yeah)

[Chorus: Chester Bennington (Busta Rhymes)]
Together we made it (you see we did it niggas)
We made it even though we had our backs
Up against the wall (come on)
Forever we waited (ah hah)
And they told us we were never gonna
Get it But we took it on the road
(To the riches)
on the road
(To the ghetto)
on the road
(In the projects, to this bangin' instrumental)
on the road
(Rise with me)
on the road
(Come and get it)
on the road

Yeah, yeah, yeah, look

In case you misunderstand exactly what I'm buildin'
This shit that I can leave for
My children's (children's) children's (children)
Now on the wake up I smile, to see how far I've come (yeah)
Fighting for sales when I'm stripped
To negate the hustle from (yeah)
From nights in jail on a bench using my muscles son (yeah)
To countin' money like Dre and Jimmy and Russel was (yeah nigga)
But now I live when I dream, you see we finally did it (oh!)
Let's make a toast to the hustle
Regardless how you get it, sing it

[Chorus: Chester Bennington (Busta Rhymes)]
Together we made it (you see we did it niggas)
We made it even though we had our backs
Up against the wall (come on)
Forever we waited (ah hah)
And they told us we were never gonna
Get it But we took it on the road
(To the riches)
on the road
(To the ghetto)
on the road
(In the projects, to this bangin' instrumental)
on the road
(Rise with me)
on the road
(Come and get it)
on the road
