the last minute of this instrumental might be the best drum performance on a hip hop track of all time..... it just might be
I LOVE that part
If you like this type of drumming you'll love yussef dayes. Check out Love is the message
I heard this when I was 12years old . I'm 30years old now and this song still hits me like the first day I heard it...... I Love It.
Man this instrumental is so amazing goodness
omg this means so much! thank you so much for posting....this song is life to me
Another Hip hop classic, there's something about 90s hip hop
Original Lyrics:
[chorus] x2
If you were worried 'bout where
I been or who I saw or
what club I went to with my homies
baby don't worry you know that you got me
Somebody told me that this planet was small
we use to live in the same building on the same floor
and never met before
until I'm overseas on tour
and peep this ethiopian queen from philly
taking classes abroad
she studying film and photo flash focus record
said she workin on a flick and
could my click do the score
she said she loved my show in paris
at Elysee Montmartre
and that I stepped off the stage
and took a piece of her heart
we knew from the start that
things fall apart, intentions shatter
she like that shit don't matter
when I get home get at her
through letter, phone, whatever
let's link, let's get together
shit you think not, think the Thought went home and forgot
time passed, we back in philly now she up in my spot
tellin me the things I'm tellin her is makin her hot
startin buildin with her constantly round the clock
now she in my world like hip-hop
and keep tellin me
[chorus] x2
Yo, I'm the type that's always catchin a flight
and sometimes I gotta be out at the height of the night
and that's when she flip and get on some 'ol
Another lonely night
seems like I'm on the side you only loving your mic
I know you gotta get that paper daddy keep that shit tight
but yo I need some sort of love in my life, you dig me
while politicin with my sister from new york city
she said she know this ball player and he think I'm pretty
sike, I'm playin boo, you know it's just wit you I'm stayin boo
and when cats be poppin game I don't hear what they sayin boo
when you out there in the world, I'm still your girl
with all my classes I don't have the time for life's thrills
so when you sweatin on stage think of me when you rhyme
and don't be listenin to your homies they be leavin you blind
Yeah, so what you sayin I can trust you?
Is you crazy, you my king for real
But sometimes relationships get ill
No doubt
[chorus] x2
That snake could be that chick
and that rat could be that cool cat
that's whispering "she tryin to play you for the fool Black"
if something's on your chest then let it be known
see I'm not your every five minutes all on the phone
and on the topic of trust, it's just a matter of fact
that people bite back and fracture what's intact
and they'll forever be I ain't on some "oh I'm a celebrity"
I deal with the real so if it's artificial let it be
I've seen people caught in love like whirlwinds
listening to they squads and listening to girlfriends
that's exactly the point where they whole world ends
lies come in, that's where that drama begins, she like
[chorus] until fade
The melancholy of this.
honestly you need erykahs chorus. her voice is the best instrument in this beat when she sings its magic. gives it that extra soul
they still should have let Jill Scott sing it considering she was the original.

Good lookin' on the instrumental!!!
my lord jah you got me and i can't get away// from your rays from the way you raised me/ night to day its crazy/ like the sun and moon/ the son and the soon/ what was done is renewing/ what will crumble will bloom/ some times a man and emce3 need room/ cuz the worlds backwards if you know what i mean/ I dream for a change of heart like dr king/ but I'm marked by the waters of time out of the gutter I climbed leaving a legacy so another will shine up to his prime hopefully better than mine/

Prod By Scott Storch, by the way.....
Im like south central and everything on that street
We used to call my names in that wet concrete
Used to sell dope and I still smoke weed
Just got a record deal but I been had cheese
Looking at these pieces like I been had these
Im looking at these streets as if there is no peace
Im faded off that strain of that strongest leaf like
If only these dead palm trees could speak
But they cant so they don’t
I could so I will
Some people don’t do they just wonder how it feel
i love when quest love starts goin off @ 3:29
🔥
