Right On

Sometimes I think I'm from another world (preach)
When I'm trynna tell a woman just exactly where I stand that (aight)
I want a girl, when I want a girl
And when I don't want a girl, I want a girl who understands that
And that's some hard shit to explain
To a woman that's in love with you, it's a pitiful thing
Until I had to figure
That I don't wanna play around, but I don't wanna settle down
And that's a man's dilemma, 'cause every man remembers
How his daddy and his uncles did it
'Cause more than likely that's the way they're gonna do it
I know it sound fucked up and most wont admit it
But yo, I gotta face it 'cause I know I'm living through it
'Cause when the party stops and niggaz get old
And the chain and the cars and the houses get sold, and that
Other side of the bed gets cold, you don't wanna be alone
So girl I'm trynna hold you..

-Phonte of Little Brother

I hear this verse and it just says something so true. The lyrics, delivery, and execution of this verse is on the level to send you into another place. This verse is on the song "Slow It Down" on Little Brother's "The Minstrel Show" album. For those who are into hip-hop and soulful, sampled beats, I strongly advise you give "The Minstrel Show" a listen if you have not already.
