    I had a neighbor who drove a navy blue 79 cadillac deville on trues an vogues. His system would bump this hard for about a year on his way home from work. You could literally hear him coming 10 blocks away. It was like waiting for the ice cream man. I loved every minute of it.
    Its crazy because i just realized what he was doing. He was trying to send us kids a message. He was the 1st young man with a wife an kids that i had ever seen buy a home. At 1st we thought he was a drug dealer but he worked for GM.
    Cool dude, love the message

    Lost my mum few months ago, she was quite young. Very sudden. We had a complicated relationship and were never really close. I secretly always had this song in my heart for many years. That I would make her proud, solve her debt problems, see her happy with someone who respected her. I know this song isn't about all of that but it always gave me the drive to do better and to make things work for her. Anyway, special piece of music.
