@Kandy,
its pretty evident that we all listen to music, certain artists more than others, but there are times when someone says something on a track that resonates with you so much. So much so that you feel to make it a status, or your profile signature, etc...lets have discussions about certain lyrics that puts us in certain moods. I'm trying to no quote entire songs, but specific bars from songs that might relate more to you vs the entire record
with that...my first entry is...
song: Diary
Artist: Wale feat. Marsha Ambrosious
Album: Attention Deficit
Lyric:
Every problem that you ever had with another man I gotta face
Started off on thin ice
Im still here but I can't skate
Slow sink, can't breath, no remorse, dont think
Listen to your friend get another man for a minute then repeat
Video: Ya'll know how i do...its already set at the part...just press
Reflection: I dont wanna do generalizations, so i'll try to make this a personal experience, but, it seems that an overwhelming majority of our sisters are dealing with hurt and baggage from previous relationships that always seem to manifest itself in current relationships. A cycle is then created and will probably follow her for as long as she continues to stay in a place of hurt. I am not saying that there arent legitimate causes for hurt and pain, but a huge part of growing and maturing is asking your higher power "what is the lesson I was supposed to learn from this?", and move forward.
You can't stay a victim or in other words, you cant continue to let peoples decisions affect how you treat people moving forward. If you are not truly healed, then you are not ready to move forward in a relationship. I fucks with this songs for a myriad of reasons, but this particular part hits home for me b/c i've felt for a long time, damned if you do, damned if you dont, and that i was constantly being compared to the ghost of someone previously.
But this song is just so fucking dope. Idk why Wale doesnt get the attention that his peers do, but i personally love his debut album. He has a TON of quotables on there that i'm going to be posting.
