  • This jam is dedicated to my brother Winki who is looking down on me from
    Heaven Watching my every move as usual....
    (chorus)
    There but for the grace of god do I go do I go
    There but for the grace of God do I go do I go-go
    I'm trying to take my time on this rhyme
    But it's bustin from the seems
    Like a fantasy and eagerness of dreams
    I'm moving all around
    Oh yes,I'm making leaps an bounds
    Theres so much shit to say, no time to write it down
    I'm skippin' to this and skippin' to that
    I've overflowed my cup.
    I'm flowin' kind of quick I hope you can keep up
    Every ain't cool just cause you slap me on my hand
    There're things about all of ya'll have got to understand
    Latifah- never was a teacher
    never was a preacher
    never was a saint
    never was conceited
    never was defeated
    Sometimes I get tired sometimes I want to faint.
    But I never shut up when things piss me off
    And if I got to curse at you to get my point across
    Thats what I got to do thats how it's got to be
    I've got an angel watching over me
    (chorus) 2 times
    The Lord is the light of my life and he brightens up my world
    yes he did, yes he did
    The Lord is the light of my life and he brightens up my world
    you don't hear me
    Lord is the light of my life and he brightens up my world, world,world,world
    the light of my world, my world- AHHHHH yes he did...............

    I was surprised that I couldn't find it posted, so I took matters into my own hands. Glad you're enjoying it.

    this song showcases her vocal ability and elevates her as a singer, not merely a rapper.

    I'm dedicating this song, one of my all time favorite songs to Queen Latifah's mom Ms. Rita Owens who passed away last night after a long battle with heart failure. My prayers, condolences and heart goes out to the Queen during this difficult time of grieving and healing as they were extremely close. May she rest peacefully after fighting a mighty fight, rest in peace Ms. Owens.💐💛🙏

      Amen. She's probably writing and producing a song about her mom now.

    i remembered she performing this live on Arsenio like 1 or 2 weeks after her brother was killed on a motorcycle.And she was amazing, it's still one of the best things I have seen on TV and that's like 30 years ago. I had a friend who use to hang with her, and she has the same friends from 35 years ago today..Always had good things to say about her BIG UPS

    This song reminds me of a period in my life where everything was falling apart. and listening to this song would lift me up when I was in a dark place. Just hearing it get me choked up, she has an absolutely​ beautiful voice.

    I just found out about this song today watching Drew Barrymore show(MUST SEE INTERVIEW)Queen talked about how she and Mariah Carey were randomly at a bar and Mariah comes up to Queen singing this song, like how dope is that?! I was too young at the time to get into albums but Thank God music lasts forever! This song is definitely personal, spiritual, and just an over all vibe. This was the perfect way to dedicate a song to her dear brother.

  • @veronagomez9073
    @veronagomez9073 5 років тому +5

    I can't imagine how she feels. Her brother passed away in 92 then her mom in march 2018. In march she celebrates her birthday two days later her mom one year her mom has been passed away . She's probably doing a song about her mom as we speak. You can feel her emotions in this song

  • @veronagomez9073
