    Lyrics:
    We can't be friends
    (Oh no, no, no, no)
    We can't be friends
    (If we, if we can't be lovers)
    We can't be friends
    Cuz I'm still in love

    • @FluffyPancakeNinja
      @FluffyPancakeNinja 7 місяців тому +15

      Regardless of Deborah Cox's Canadian origin, I want to express my appreciation for recognizing Africans who find themselves in different lands through no choice of their own. 🥹 I understand that some Black individuals, or those who prefer different labels, may not always acknowledge their African heritage. From my perspective, I believe that one's nationality has no bearing on their genetic origins. Whether you were born on a continent or have spent X years on or off it, it doesn't change your genetic origin. It's perplexing that some Black individuals face this issue. I discussed this with my mom, but she didn't quite understand my point. I tried explaining it by saying, "Many Asian people have been in the US since the times of slavery, yet when you need to identify them physically, what do you call them? We call them 'Asian,' right? So why is it different for us? It seems like we are the only people suffering from what I now call 'racialdismorphia.'"
      In any case, I feel it's important to recognize the rich musical heritage of Black people across the globe. African people exhibit immense talent, love, and soul, and they have created stunning art despite the historical challenges our people have endured and continue to face. Even though we were forcibly taken from our homeland, we have developed new and unique cultures and music styles that serve as a testament to the creativeness and resilience of Black African people.

    When you really love and care about someone, you have to let them go and hope that they find love, even if it's not with you. Set them free so they can fly. It'll hurt but eventually you'll heal. I hope love makes it's way to everyone thats dealt with a broken heart.

    When Deborah hit that high note at 3:15 😭 I felt that in my soul 🙌🏽

    Lyrics speaks volumes. This is what people still feel inside and instead of expressing it romantically they just get angry.

    I done fell down the rabbit hole....this is the music that came out RIGHT when I became an adult. And here is the real deal about this:
    1. Deborah Cox is and has always been SEVERELY underrated. She should have been bigger than most of what we have in the industry.
    2. No time period can compare to this one.
    3. This song has been stuck in my head for almost 21 years 😫🤦🏽‍♀️

    This was the best harmonizing I've ever heard honestly. It really did help me to be a better producer
