I was going through one of my videotapes with videos from 98/99 on it, and I FORGOT about this very powerful song!
Alot of female rappers do not discuss serious issues in society as much as male's do (usually all they do is talk about sex or men's bullshit).
The video has this man continuously beating this woman until finally she dies, and Eve shoots him at the end....I got chills listening 2 this song again!



I don't even know you and I hate U
See all I know is that my girlfriend used to date you
How would you feel if she held you down and raped you?
Tried and tried, but she never could escape you
She was in love and I'd ask her how? I mean why?
What kind of love from a nigga would black your eye?
What kind of love from a nigga every night make you cry?
What kind of love from a nigga make you wish he would die?
I mean shit he bought you things and gave you diamond rings
But them things wasn't worth none of the pain that he brings
And you stayed, what made you fall for him?
That nigga had the power to make you crawl for him
I thought you was a doctor be on call for him
Smacked you down cause he said you was too tall for him, huh?
That wasn't love, babygirl you was dreamin'
I could have killed you when you said your seed was growin' from his semen

1 - Love is blind, love is blind, it will take over your mind
What you think is love may truly not be
You need to elevate your mind
Repeat 1

I don't even know you and I'd kill you myself
You played with her like a doll and put her back on the shelf
Wouldn't let her go to school and better herself
She had a baby by your ass and you ain't giving no help
Uh-huh big time hustler, snake motherfucker
One's born everyday and everyday she was your sucker
How could you beat the mother of your kids?
How could you tell her that you lover her?
Don't give a fuck if she lives
She told me she would leave you, I admit it she did
But came back, made up a lie about you missing your kids
Sweet kisses, baby didn't even know she was your mistress
Had to deal with fist fights and phone calls from your bitches
Floss like you possess her, tellin' me to mind my business
Said that it was her life and stay the fuck out of it
I tried and said just for him I'll keep a ready clip

Repeat 1 (2x)

I don't even know you and I want you dead
Don't know the facts but I saw the blood pour from her head
See I laid down beside her in the hospital bed
And about two hours later, doctors said she was dead
Had the nerve to show up at her mother's house the next day
To come and pay your respects and help the family pray
Even knelt down on one knee and let a tear drop
And before you had a chance to get up
You heard my gun cock
Prayin' to me now, I ain't God but I'll pretend
I ain't start your life but nigga I'ma bring it to an end
And I did, clear shots and no regrets
?Member cops comin' in, lock me under da jail
Nigga whatever my bitch, fuck it my sister
You could never figure out even if I let you live
What our love was all about
I considered her my blood and it don't come no thicker

well, it's a very good song and I wanna talk about it. It's just as a classic just as Jay Z's Blueprint, and Andre' Love Below albums arent even that age. And since it was a important song, which prince.orgers have animocity torwards new rap (and so do I) this track stands out, wheather it be 5 10 15 20 25 30 years old.

Glamslamkid - that's ma jaym!

those aren't classics either. they may be very good, but they aren't old enough to be "classic"


i loved "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow" but it's not classic cinema.
