GBE 2: week #5 first love

Music will always be my first love. I cannot live without it and I do not want to ever imagine a world without it. This video by Erykah Badu is about hip hop, but to me it is also reminds me of my love affair with music.



Way way
Way back

I met him when I was a little girl he gave
He gave me poetry and he was my first
But in my heart I knew, I wasn't the only one
Cause when the tables turned he had to break up
Whenever I got lonely, needed some advice
He gave me his shoulder, his words were very nice
That is all behind me,
Cause now there is no other
My love is his and his is mine,
My friend became my....
Love of my life, you are my friend
Love of my life, I can depend
Love of my life, without you baby
Feels like I sampled true love, yeah

A freak, freak ya'll, and you don't stop
To the beat ya'll and you don't stop
A freak, freak

Oh, could it be that it was all just simple so then
A teenage love but you said
He's just a friend
He moved around and we kept in touch through his friend Mike
The world was young and we knew we couldn't rush, but
Whenever I got lonely, or needed some advice
He gave me his shoulder, his words were very nice
That is all behind me,
Cause now there is no other
My love is his and his is mine
My friend became my....
Love of my life, you are my friend
Love of my life, you I can depend
Love of my life, without you baby
Feels like I sampled true love, yeah

Y'all know how I met her
We broke up-got back together
To get her back I had to sweat her
Thought she rolled with bad boys forever
In many ways them boys made it better to grow I had to let her
She needed cheddar, and I understood that
Looking for cheese, that don't make her a hood rat
In fact she's a queen to me, her light beams on me
I love it when she sings to me
It's like that and uh

Love of my life, you know you rock my world
Love of my life
You be boy and I be girl
Love of my life
It don't stop until the break of dawn
Love of my life
You know you rock my world
Love of my life
You be boy and I be girl
Love of my life

And it don't stop, cuz it cant quit, cuz it can't wait

  1. Good song. I guess my first love in that sense would be a tie between music, writing, and dancing. I can't decide. Good post.
