I was born in '87 so I didn't get 2 experience the 80s like I wish I could have. (But I am happy I was born then and not in todays world!)
I am lucky that my mom recorded music video's so growing up in the 90s I was also catching up on my 80s. The music was (& still is) the shit! Artist weren't all alike. Auto-tune wasn't everywhere. TV shows were dope! Damn those of you who got to experience it, lol. U can cut off all my fins - But 2 your ways I will not bend
I'll die before I let U tell me how 2 swim And I'll come back again as a dolphin | |
