Magic - Ladyhawke

I have always really liked this song. Just makes me a little sad that I heard it in Macy's the other evening.

You came to my show
And i saw you in the crowd
I didn't know your name
I didn't know your name

I asked all my friends who you were
And your story
They told me the same
They told me the same

I've left my heart to you but it's not fair
'cause you're taking me for granted baby
I made a start with you but it's not fair
'cause you're over the atlantic baby

One journey for you but it's worth it
One life here with me and it's magic
One journey for you but it's worth it
One life here with me and it's magic

You stayed at my head while i saw you all the time
I didn't think you care i didn't think you care
I found you one day with a mouth full of attitude
And you stole my away you stole my away

I've left my heart to you but it's not fair
'cause you're taking me for granted baby
I made a start with you but it's not fair
'cause you're over the atlantic baby

One journey for you but it's worth it
One life here with me and it's magic
One journey for you but it's worth it
One life here with me and it's magic

'cause you're over the atlantic baby
'cause you're taking me for granted baby
'cause you're over the atlantic baby

One journey for you but it's worth it
One life here with me and it's magic
One journey for you but it's worth it
One life here with me and it's magic

One journey for you but it's worth it
One life here with me and it's magic
One journey for you but it's worth it
One life here with me and it's magic

One journey for you but it's worth it
One life here with me and it's magic
One journey for you but it's worth it
One life here with me and it's magic

My favorite is from 1:17 ---> on

Stephen Marley - Hey Baby [Feat. Mos Def]

Let's keep the Mos Def train rolling for a second, shall we? This is one of my favorite songs mixing reggae with hip hop in all the right amounts.

[Stephen Marley] (Verse)
I’ve been gone awhile away from you
And I hope you overstand
That I’ve got to do what I must do
To be a better man
Cuz if I was to just to act a fool
Do nothing with myself
Then all my blessings would be cursed
My world would crumble in
It’s a joy when I sit down and
Think of the good times that we have
And what we do to make it through
When the good turns to bad
Well I hope you’ll find it in your heart
And know these words are true
And please don’t fuss
Because I must go do what I must do

[Stephen Marley] (Chorus)
Hey baby don’t you worry
Even though the road is rocky
I’ll be coming home to you again
Cuz if you thought that I was lost
I had to bare my cross
Now I’m free from all these Chains

[Stephen Marley] (Verse)
A time, a space, a different place
How perfect we might be
I would be the wind that blows
You’d be that Willow tree
And I could never bare the thought of you not by my side
So I would be the warmth of day
You’d be the cool of night
And everyday I pray to Jah that one day you will see
And overstand the fact I must fulfill my destiny
I hope you’ll find it in your heart and know these words are true
And please don’t cry
You know that I must do what I must do

(Chorus)

[Stephen Marley] (Bridge)
Well and it’s not easy
Jah knows how I try, I try
So don’t you get irie
Jah knows how I try, I try


[Mos Def] (Verse)
God knows...
Life is one big road
With a lot of signs and turns & twists and curves
Even though the road is rocky
My main thing's to rock and keep on rockin'
From city to city
Backyard to yard
And we be seein' the sights, standin' under the lights
And the spot is hot, it's cold and lonely at night
And I'm feenin' and I'm dreamin' and I'm holding you tight
But hold on, every single road I roll on
Comes to an end and I'm back home again
So baby please don't cry, there's no valley low and there's no mountain high
And our love don't die with the passage of time
It just grows more,
And just keep strong
And even though i'm gone, I am never too far
You're the light thru the dark, shining right thru my heart
So my journey must start...

(Chorus)

Mos Def - Ms. Fat Booty

I highly suggest you purchase this classic and welcome summer the right way with this gem.



Lyrics

I know, I can't afford to stop
for a moment.. that it's too soon.. to forget
I know, I can't afford to stop
for a moment.. that it's too soon.. to forget

[Mos Def - speaking over sung vocals]
Man.. for real
I was in love with this girl, y'know
I was.. to' up dog! I'm tellin you man
She was wild man.. f'real
It's just too.. let me tell you about her

[Mos Def]
Yo, in she came with the same type game
The type of girl givin out the fake cell phone and name
Big fame, she like cats with big thangs
Jewels chip, money clip, phone flip, the six range
I seen her on the ave, spotted her more than once
Ass so fat that you could see it from the front
She spot me like paparazzi; shot me a glance
in that catwoman stance with the fat booty pants, Hot damn!
What's your name love, where you came from?
Neck and wrist laced up, very little make-up
The swims at the Reebok gym tone your frame up
Is sugar and spice the only thing that you made of?
I tried to play it low key but couldn't keep it down
Asked her to dance she was like "Yo, I'm leavin now"
An hour later, sounds from Jamaica
She sippin Crys straight up, shakin, windin her waist up
Scene two: my fam throwin the jam
Fahreed is on the stand big things is in the plan
The brother Big Mu makes space for me to move in
Hey, this my man Mos, baby let me introduce; I turn around
Say word! You was the same pretty bird who I had priorly observed
tryin to play me for the herb (Yeah, that's her)
Shocked as hell she couldn't get it together
I just played it long and pretended I never met her
"How you feelin?" "Oh I'm fine." "My name is Mos." "I'm Sharice.
I heard so much good about you it's nice to finally meet."
We moved to the booth reserved for crew especially
And honey love ended up sittin directly next to me
I'm type polite but now I'm lookin at her skeptically
Cause baby girl got all the right weaponry
Designer fabric, shoes, and accessories
Chinky eyes, sweet voice is (fucking) with me mentally
We conversated, made a laugh, yeah you know me bro
Even though I know the steelo, she wild sweet yo
I'm bout to merc, I say peace to the family
She hop up like "How you gonna leave before you dance with me?"

[hook 2X - sung]
I know I can't afford this life
For a moment
That its too soon
To forget

[Mos continues speaking through sung hook]
She blew my whole head with that dude, I was like "What?"
I played it low though, I was like
"Yeah, aiight, c'mon then, let's go"
It's mad, the shit is so sick, I'm tell you
Yo, honey was so blazin, she was just..
Yo, she was like Jayne Kennedy, word bond
To my mother man, she was that ill man
She take me to the dance floor and she start whisperin to me

[Mos Def]
Yo, let me apologize for the other night
I know it wasn't right, but baby you know what its like
Some brothers don't be comin right
I understand, I'm feelin you
Beside, 'can I have a dance?' ain't really that original
We laughed about it, traced her arms across my shoulder blades
They playing lovers' rock, I got the folded fingers on her waist
He end my butt up like the Arizona summer song
Finished then she whisper 'honey, let's exchange numbers'
Scene three: weeks of datin late night conversation
In the crib heart racin, tryin to be cool and patient
She touched on my eyelids, the room fell silent
She walked away smilin singing Gregory Issacs
Like 'if I don't, if I don't, if I don't'
Showin me that tan line and that tattoo
Playin Sade, "Sweetest Taboo"
Burnin candles, all my other plans got canceled
Man I smashed it like an Idaho potato
She call my at my J.O., 'come now', I can't say no
Ginseng tree trunks, rockin the p-funk
Cocking her knees up, champion lover not ease up
Three months, she call 'I feel I'm runnin a fever'
Six months, I'm tellin her I desperately need her
Nine months, flu-like symptoms when shorty not around
I need more than to knock it down I'm really tryin to lock it down
Midnight we hook up and go at it
Burn a stogger, let her know, sweetheart I got to have it
She tellin me commitment is somethin she can't manage
Wake up the next morning, she gone like it was magic
Ahh damnit! This all Harrison Ford frantic
My 911 wasn't answered by my fly Taurus enchantress
Next week, who hit me up, I saw Sharice at the kitty club
With some banging ass Asian playin lay it down and lick me up
What!?

Interesting notes: This song was sampled from Aretha Franklins "One Step Ahead."

Daft Punk - Solar Sailer (Pretty Lights Remix)

From the "Tron: Legacy Reconfigured" album. I'm post whoring these few days so you can know what to expect as this blog evolves.

Zion I - Coastin'

Long time favorite of mine. I've posted this on facebook numerous times but my music blog just wouldn't be complete without it.

Zion I is a duo from Oakland Ca. They are definitely not afraid to send the production in different and interesting ways. While this often creates hit or miss songs for many artists, they seem to still consistently put out great material.

Enjoy :D



Lyrics:

When life brings trouble
You can fight or run away
I have no struggle
Relax watch me float away
I'm coastin'
I'm coastin' on a dream
I'm coastin'
This one's for you and me

Not to set trip but my car jets west
As I drift over cliff
The sunset yes
It’s me and myself
I needed a rest
The windows down breathin' deep in my chest
I used to feel hopeless
Now I feel so rare
Seats lean back
Can't see my chair
See my eyes reflect in the sky
I feel so divine givin'; thanks I'm alive
Cuz we came a long way since our days in the Ay
Sleepless nights was tryna get right
Now I just glide
Wind in my sails
I toast to the ocean
She balance my scales
West coastin'
Got the breeze at my left
believe in me black boy
When life do you well
Stay focused
True indeed it´s a fact
When those hard times come love will bring you right back

When life brings trouble
You can fight or run away
I have no struggle
Relax watch me float away
I'm coastin'
I'm coastin' on a dream
I'm coastin'
This one's for you and me

Now some pop bottles some chase models
As if it´s all live primetime the Apollo
Find More lyrics at www.sweetslyrics.com
Mighty big pill too many can´t swallow
The pain got 'em trippin´ off things feelin´ hollow
Weight in my brain
Spittin´ my slang
Cuz I don´t wanna I don’t wanna go insane
I´m forward on my mission now I´m deep in the game

Got my speakers on blast while I´m switching the lanes
Stay low-pro kinfolk
Started out at Kinko´s
Ten years later out to Vegas on a G4
The seats bucket when we puff puff pass
Passports in my luggage got my beats on smash
Attitude of a winner that’s some VMA
So we feel like its summer anywhere that I lay
Ay You see ay till the day that we out
Stay strong through the struggle that´s what life is about

When life brings trouble
You can fight or run away
I have no struggle
Relax watch me float away
I´m coastin´
I´m coastin´ on a dream
I´m coastin´
This one´s for you and me

La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
La dee da
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
La dee da
