lyrics of life

Lyrics that profile my life/mood at this very moment:

CAREER
Like a child lost in the wilderness,
Till I reach my destination I won't rest.
'Cuz I'm willin' and I'm able.
I'm ready 2 place my cards on the table.
There's some kings in my deck and a queen or 2,
So you know there ain't nothin', nothin' that I wouldn't do.
'Twas a long time comin', but now that it's here,
All the non-believers better fear me.

-"Willing and Able" Prince

ROMANCE
I'm into you, you into me,
But I can't let it go so easily.
Not 'til I see whether this could be,
Eternity or just a week.

-"Try Again" Aaliyah

MOTHERHOOD
I've never been in love like this before.
Now let me pray to keep you from,
The perils that will surely come.
See life for you, my prince, has just begun,
And I thank you for choosing me.
To come through unto life to be,
A beautiful reflection of his grace.
For I know that a gift so great,
Is only one God could create,
And I'm reminded every time I see your face.

-"To Zion" Lauryn Hill

FINANCES
Thinkin of a master plan,
'Cuz ain’t nuthin but sweat inside my hand.
So I dig into my pocket, all my money is spent,
So I dig deeper but still comin up with lint.

-"Paid in Full" Eric B. & Rakim

SPIRITUAL
Faithful, faithful, faithful is our God.
I'm reaping the harvest God promised me,
Take back what the devil stole from me.
And I rejoice today, for I shall recover it all.
Yes, I rejoice today, for I shall recover it all.

- "Faithful is Our God" Hezekiah Walker & The Love Fellowship Crusade Choir

OK, so this isn't a real blog. I got some things that I'm working on or working out. But I thought that I'd momentarily take down my "Gone Fishing" sign to post something close to my heart...Old School Bounce. New Orle.ans is home to many great things. Bounce music (circa early to mid 90s) is on my list...which is probably why Beyon.ce's extended version of "Get Me Bo.died" is (as Kat and I call it) my reset song for the club.

A friend of mine from high school posted this video on faceb.ook and my mood went from frantic to jiggly in 5 seconds. The whole song is really 9 minutes, but this video had me laughing at the dances we did and the music that made us hype...well, the video just has me laughing. I don't even know why I said "did" or "made" bcuz I still like bounce in small doses. Don't let a DJ spin this joint when I go back home this year cuz..uh...I'm doing a quick stretch and then the shoes are coming off.

Gimme what.cha got for a por.kchop...



URBAN DICTIONARY:
dj jubilee: the king of bounce. the new orleans hip- hop a music that set the format for crunk, buck, and screw music. jubilee has been making dances for the south since 1991

we're the dancers




I loves me some JT and I'm a reformed Beyonce hater. I think that somewhere after "Get Me Bo.died", she won me over as a semi-fan. This had me screaming! In between laughing so hard, I couldn't take my eyes off of JT.

I think that I am an official groupie.
