Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 вер 2013
- 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.
This is my favorite song by her!
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.
This should have more likes😪
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
The jazz break is Fiyah !!!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Exactly! How is this not on rotation on all radio playlists. Regular radio sucks.
As a teen, I used to play this ALL the time! Thanks for posting!
A Darden yea I loved this song
She has a beautiful singing voice, her voice just fit with jazz music
This whole album was A CLASSIC... back then in 93-94, your whole album had to be GREAT.. This one was... THIS was my fav on this album... I can never listen to it just once... must repeat it
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.
This woman is multi-talented in so many ways. Long live Queen Latifah / Dana Owens
My daughter sent this to me memories I used to listen to this song and it helped me through a time in my life I thought I wouldn't prevail and I did thanks to my girl Dana. She is a triple threat . She's done so much for us ladies and not to mention we are both from same home town yes girl .
Us east coast people are strong people. Im from new York
That's right Queen Latifah look at how far she has gone such a great role model and this is my first time hearing this beautiful uplifting song 2023 better late than never
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.
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
You can feel her emotions in this song. I know it was hard for her to produce and sing that song
2019 still listening to this
Jazz, reggae, singer, rapper, mourning, praising..... this song isn't nearly as famous as it ought to be 🙌! They just didn't how to put this on the radio, that the problem; but it shoulda been a single
Mariah brought me here. What a gem!
Beautiful soulful hip hop...thank you Latifah definitive classic
I feel the emotion in the words in the song very touchy and emotional I didn't had a dry eye .
I will never stop praying unceasingly, no matter what is thrown my way, because I was raised right, by 5 years old, I knew everything I needed to know, the Holy Bible.
There's absolutely no one like the real @queenlatifah
Love this song
Georgette Berry I was floored
I forgot about this song!!! I used to LOVE it. And still do!!!!!!!!!!!
I hate that she had to go through hell to birth this beautiful creation into this world......i appreciate it even more because of that
Dana is just a voice to be reckoned with,,,Always a Kween 👑🥰 A Love You KWEEN 👑
