And there I was
Feeling vibed out and ready for a night out
I walked up to the club where couples were queuing up
With single women in fours and brothers hoping to score for sure
I could hear the DJ playing so the band were still setting up
You see, I love live music and can’t get enough
Started singing along to the song
Finally I came to the door
Paid my five and went inside, felt the eyes on me but ignored
I went downstairs, Clive and Seymour were there
Drinking and joking about some woman’s hair, didn’t care
I looked around glad to see a few faces that I knew
Saw a lot more that I didn’t but that was cool too
The band started to play and the host came out singing Killing Me Softly
But some people we’re blocking me so I moved to where I could see properly
She sung another two songs then she announced the first artist
She came on stage to perform and that’s where it all started
It was more than mystical the way she grabbed the mic device
And with a voice smooth like chocolate, proceeded telling my whole life
It was nice
With an authenticity that could only be known to me
Indeed she had a perfection it seemed that only I could see
And the way that she moved to and fro up and down the stage
Had me feeling so many ways
I was in a daze, amazed from the way that she handled the vocal melody
I became her patient and she became my remedy
She definitely had the counteractive for me
The medicine, the cure, the antidote and the relief
She had me hot
But please, I didn’t want her to stop
This is hip hop
I wanted her to carry on singing her song all night long until everyone else was gone
Don’t give a damn if I’m right or wrong, this is where she belongs
Doing what I believe she was divinely made for
Singing so sweet, so raw and hard-core over the beat
So precise and so complete, so expressive and unique
Who’s gonna step up and compete after this one
To me she’s second to none
I’ve seen so many come and only some get the job half done
And at first I was unsure of her intentions
But she’s taken me into heights and dimensions
Way too much…
To mention.
