So hypnotic. I played this song constantly during a solo trip New York in 2014. Listening to it again makes me realise that although I spent a lot of time alone I was actually happy, although being as overwhelmed as I was, I don't think I realised it at the time...
Well said. I also did a solo trip last month to NY and I'm realizing the same thing. Wish I would have played this song during the long walks I took around the city.
Heard this at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City on the Chill station. Man oh man was I groovin in my hotel room. Lovin this beat, lovin this groove, what a JAM!!! 5 Stars baby!! All the way!!
@@nrvous_250gt maybe I’m stuck in the past but I live in the Rocky mountains of Colorado and nightmares on wax is a great soundtrack for alot of activities
Did I imagine it, or was there a bit at the end of this song that sounds like a message on an answering machine? It sounds like an old grandpa, and he says something like, "Hello, how you doing? Just touching base, seeing how you guys are doing over there. How's the weather doing with you all? We all over here are fine and miss you and everybody. Okay? Just touching base, we are okay. Alright? God bless you. Bye-bye now." I remember that so vividly, because I was so charmed by it. It never failed to put a smile on my face.
Attempted to clear up these lyrics. You take your first steps momma in hand She guides you forward to help you Stand up to a world so unforgiving End up on the streets tryin’ to make a living "Get up. Go to school." She’s drilling you ooh ooh ooh! But her words are drowned out (drowned out) The minute you found out (found out) All about the word on the street What's it sound like (what's it sound like) Take some risks act like you don't care Caught up in some shit Now your momma's scared Yeah-ah-ah And you said Who gives a damn about me, who gives a damn? (Lord who) Who gives a damn about me, who gives a damn? you said Who gives a damn about me, who gives a damn, anyway. (Lord who) Who gives a damn about me, who gives a damn? Who gives a damn about me, who gives a damn? Love, won't you tell me who gives a damn?
You take your first steps on your way up to a life of crime, think you'll find The streets are paved with gold and diamonds Gonna beat your way up till you find it But the gold is foolish and the bling is a trick of the eye Don't be fooled by the gold, son Don't be swayed by the diamonds Don't be fooled by the gold, son Don't be swayed by the diamonds Playing poker with some jealous men Gonna mess with your cards Gonna beat ya man [?] Maybe make some change And a push away-ayy-oh-whoa-oh
Who gives a damn about me, who gives a damn? (Lord who) Who gives a damn about me, who gives a damn? (Said who) Who gives a damn about me, who gives a damn, anyway?

FULL LYRICS: 🎶🎵"Dig if you will a picture, Of you and I engaged in a kiss, The sweat of your body covers me, Can you my darling, Can you picture this? WAP WAP WAP This some wet ass pussy Macaroni in a pot This some wet ass pussy It started way back in history With Ad Rock, MCA, and me Mike D! Mother always told me, Be careful what you do, Don't go around breaking young girls hearts, If you think I'm sexy and you really love me, Come on baby let me know Cause I'm bringing sexy baaaaaack 🎵🎶 Enjoy, And you're welcome 😊
Lovely view from the uppermost echelons eh? It mustn't ever get lonely all the way up there staring down at the rest of the world? wishing for something not even money can buy, the shimmering lustre of mundanity?
Some songs deserve to be 8 minutes long
Music is timeless, you shouldn't be worried about the length of a song. Musics about being in tune and present with the moment.
@@Lerf8 woooosh
There are no time limits for masterpieces.
Nightmares on Wax had plenty of amazing tracks over the years
but this is by far the best one.
Top three fo sho
I agree, this is also the first one I heard though

Sasha Stephenson life is hard.

So relatable. This song is perfect for late night trips by yourself. Makes the loneliness oddly enjoyable.
same i have heard this many times
got a good pandora station with the wax and it's my fav to listen to while walking around seattle, or riding the bus. good city vibe tunes

I love listening to this over and over again its such a groove
Some Damn good soul music
Still magic moment on a magic album...big love & much thanks ✌️💚🎼
Groovy, funky, yazah yazah yazah! Get busy living by dancing your way.
This is where it all began for me, so amazing.
I feel like the time period we live in doesn't support this kind of music. It really only fits into the 90's - 2000s
I think it does? Possibly regional though
@@landonstainbrook1183 yea I can only speak for where I live, US

Attempted to clear up these lyrics.
You take your first steps momma in hand
She guides you forward to help you
Stand up to a world so unforgiving
End up on the streets tryin’ to make a living
"Get up. Go to school."
She’s drilling you ooh ooh ooh!
But her words are drowned out (drowned out)
The minute you found out (found out)
All about the word on the street
What's it sound like (what's it sound like)
Take some risks act like you don't care
Caught up in some shit
Now your momma's scared
Yeah-ah-ah
And you said
Who gives a damn about me, who gives a damn? (Lord who)
Who gives a damn about me, who gives a damn?
you said
Who gives a damn about me, who gives a damn, anyway. (Lord who)
Who gives a damn about me, who gives a damn?
Who gives a damn about me, who gives a damn?
Love, won't you tell me who gives a damn?
You take your first steps on your way up to a life of crime, think you'll find
The streets are paved with gold and diamonds
Gonna beat your way up till you find it
But the gold is foolish and the bling is a trick of the eye
Don't be fooled by the gold, son
Don't be swayed by the diamonds
Don't be fooled by the gold, son
Don't be swayed by the diamonds
Playing poker with some jealous men
Gonna mess with your cards
Gonna beat ya man
[?]
Maybe make some change
And a push away-ayy-oh-whoa-oh
Who gives a damn about me, who gives a damn? (Lord who)
Who gives a damn about me, who gives a damn? (Said who)
Who gives a damn about me, who gives a damn, anyway?
Who gives a damn about me, who gives a damn.
Who gives a damn about me, who gives a damn.
Who gives a damn about me, who gives a damn?
Love, won't you tell me who gives a damn?
