This is such a classic song in mexican culture. An iconic singer for sure. The thing that made me fall hard for this songs was this performance in particular. The song is basically about his mother passing away and him expressing his love for her...the song translates to "Eternal love" At around the 5:37 mark it gets me teary-eyed everytime. He pulls the mic away and you can see how loud and powerful he's singing. With such heart and emotion. I don't want to imagine how awful and heart-wrenching it would be to lose a parent and no less write a song about it.
About Me

Kendrick Lamar- "Is it love" his music is some kind of amazing.
My ex introduced me to this rapper. He's got some depth this man. I fell a little in love with the sweeter tones and the hard lyrics that somehow work together. I think because he's actually got something to say...without sounding like a whiner, or too "I'm thug" about it all. It's kind of refreshing to have some good lyrics attached to some good beats behind it. If you listened to hiphop on the radio you can understand what an accomplishment that actually is-
I'll be checking him out next weekend in LA :)

This was our song-We don't hate each other so I won't hate this song either
"You Got Me"
(feat. Erykah Badu, Eve)
If you were worried 'bout where
I been or who I saw or
what club I went to with my homies
baby don't worry you know that you got me
[Black Thought]
Somebody told me that this planet was small
we use to live in the same building on the same floor
and never met before
until I'm overseas on tour
and peep this ethiopian queen from philly
taking classes abroad
she studying film and photo flash focus record
said she workin on a flick and
could my click do the score
she said she loved my show in paris
at Elysee Montmartre
and that I stepped off the stage
and took a piece of her heart
we knew from the start that
things fall apart, intentions shatter
she like that shit don't matter
when I get home get at her
through letter, phone, whatever
let's link, let's get together
shit you think not, think the Thought went home and forgot
time passed, we back in philly now she up in my spa
tellin me the things I'm tellin her is makin her hot
startin buildin with her constantly round the clock
now she in my world like hip-hop
and keep tellin me
[Chorus]
[Black Thought]
Yo, I'm the type that's always catchin a flight
and sometimes I gotta be out at the height of the night
and that's when she flip and get on some 'ol
[Eve]
Another lonely night
seems like I'm on the side you only loving your mic
I know you gotta get that paper daddy keep that shit tight
but yo I need some sort of love in my life, you dig me
while politicin with my sister from new york city
she said she know this ball player and he think I'm pretty
Psych, I'm playin boo, you know it's just wit you I'm stayin boo
and when cats be poppin game I don't hear what they sayin boo
when you out there in the world, I'm still your girl
with all my classes I don't have the time for life's thrills
so when you sweatin on stage think of me when you rhyme
and don't be listenin to your homies they be leavin you blind
[Black] Yeah, so what you sayin I can trust you?
[Eve] Is you crazy, you my king for real
[Both] But sometimes relationships get ill
[Eve] No doubt
[Chorus]
[Black Thought]
Thet snake could be that chick
and that rat could be that cool cat
that's whispering "she tryin to play you for the fool Black"
if something's on your chest then let it be known
see I'm not your every five minutes all on the phone
and on the topic of trust, it's just a matter of fact
that people bite back and fracture what's intact
and they'll forever be I ain't on some "oh I'm a celebrity"
I deal with the real so if it's artificial let it be
I've seen people caught in love like whirlwinds
listening to they squads and listening to girlfriends
that's exactly the point where they whole world ends
lies come in, that's where that drama begins, she like

I heard this song one day driving home at 3am on Indie 103.1 (may it RIP)
I had to track down this song by some of the lyrics. I was obsessed. I remembered some random verses and tried to get the song list on the website. I kept typing in lyrics...thanks to google I found it. Sometimes a song just sticks to you.
It’s in the way he says he loves
It’s never enough
I wish that he could feel inside
What its like
I lost my way I couldn’t face
til one day
My world came crashing down
I had to break
No no no no no
You took a bite
you spit me out
a million times before
I’ve heard them shout
you couldn’t change
It’s a shame
I’m a nobody
I’m a nobody
tears away wears away
my heart
from a baby to the little girl
this girl I know
she had the perfect life
was the perfect wife
had the perfect life
was the perfect
but its in the way he says he loves
it’s never enough
no no no no no
you took a bite
you spit me out
a million times before
I’ve heard them shout
you couldn’t change
it’s a shame
I’m a nobody
I'm a nobody
He’d surprise me when he’d come around
no no no no no
you took a bite
you spit me out
a million times before
I’ve heard them shout
you couldn’t change
it’s a shame
I’m a nobody
I'm A nobody..
no no no no no no
It’s never enough
I wish that he could feel inside
What its like
I lost my way I couldn’t face
til one day
My world came crashing down
I had to break
No no no no no
You took a bite
you spit me out
a million times before
I’ve heard them shout
you couldn’t change
It’s a shame
I’m a nobody
I’m a nobody
tears away wears away
my heart
from a baby to the little girl
this girl I know
she had the perfect life
was the perfect wife
had the perfect life
was the perfect
but its in the way he says he loves
it’s never enough
no no no no no
you took a bite
you spit me out
a million times before
I’ve heard them shout
you couldn’t change
it’s a shame
I’m a nobody
I'm a nobody
He’d surprise me when he’d come around
no no no no no
you took a bite
you spit me out
a million times before
I’ve heard them shout
you couldn’t change
it’s a shame
I’m a nobody
I'm A nobody..
no no no no no no
Todays song-Reason? My husband and I decided to get a divorce. I'm 25.
Everything you think you know baby
Is wrong
And everything you think you had baby
Is gone
Certain things turn ugly when you think too hard
And nagging little thoughts change into things you can't turn off
Everything you think you know baby
Is wrong
It's all over but the crying
Fade to black I'm sick of trying
Took too much and now I'm done
It's all over but the crying
Do you really think I'm made of stone baby?
C'mon!
That we only love the things we own?
Baby you're wrong
Certain things just happen when you make no plans
And love can really tear you up and it can break you down
Everything you think you know baby
Is wrong
It's all over but the crying
Fade to black I'm sick of trying
Took too much and now I'm done
It's all over but the crying
Baby we're done
If I could I would
I'd change everything
Cause I can't forget you though you don't believe me
Now I can't walk back
I can't leave behind
Where does it go all the light that we had?
Everything you think you know baby
Is wrong
And everything you think you had baby
Is gone
Baby we're done
Is wrong
And everything you think you had baby
Is gone
Certain things turn ugly when you think too hard
And nagging little thoughts change into things you can't turn off
Everything you think you know baby
Is wrong
It's all over but the crying
Fade to black I'm sick of trying
Took too much and now I'm done
It's all over but the crying
Do you really think I'm made of stone baby?
C'mon!
That we only love the things we own?
Baby you're wrong
Certain things just happen when you make no plans
And love can really tear you up and it can break you down
Everything you think you know baby
Is wrong
It's all over but the crying
Fade to black I'm sick of trying
Took too much and now I'm done
It's all over but the crying
Baby we're done
If I could I would
I'd change everything
Cause I can't forget you though you don't believe me
Now I can't walk back
I can't leave behind
Where does it go all the light that we had?
Everything you think you know baby
Is wrong
And everything you think you had baby
Is gone
Baby we're done
