brought to my attention Posted by poolboyjames on September 5, 2010 at 11:02 AM comments (4)i saw a thing on fantasia and noticed some questionable lyrics for a song she did called 'hood boy'
ok we have already established she doesn't have the best taste in men haven't we? she got involved with a married man and got his name tattoo'd on herself and when everything got out on tv she tried to o.d. on pills and kill herself so here in this song we have her looking for a 'hood boy' and projecting her bad taste onto millions of listeners (sidenote: the gray is all her lyrics, the red is my commentary) Yeah ya gotta understand what I'm talkin' about I'm talkin' about on this one Sexy Sexy as hell to me (ok, so hell is sexy now?) Yeah Verse:1 So let me tell ya bout a playa I know 6 foot 4 225 he's all the way live see where I come from we like em like that He don't talk smack he just twist caps off (u want someone who is violent... great) see that's the only kinda dude I'm demandin' And every girl like me understand it And the ones that ain't they still gotta have it they don't know why But they stay chantin' {Chorus} I need a hood boy Wifebeaters and jeans always in the trap (u want someone who sells drugs.. awesome) and he looks so mean (because smiling is for weak men) I need a hood boy go'on head pretty nigga (u want someone ugly LOL ok cool) We don't like them there need somethin' mo realer I need a hood boy hot boys rock boys (rock boy. because selling crack has benefits, stability, and a retirement plan) street boys B-boys man I love them boys Go on say Verse: 2 He knows how to treat a lady but he won't let you get too rowdy (this line warrants a very wholehearted 'SMH' for many reasons) He stands up for himself that's what I like most about him (^now for this 'he stands up for himself, that's what i likeMOST about him' line.. this may not be a 100% terrible line but.. ok let me point this out... i once read an article about a black man and a jewish man who had a conversation.. the jewish man asked the black man, what is the main thing ur parents taught u? the black man with a sense of pride responded "if someone hits you, you hit em' back" so the black guy's chest is poked out with pride and he asks the jewish man the same question.. "what is the main thing your parents taught you?" the jewish man said "to help another jew" the black man then deflated and realized how selfish and destructive he had been taught to be.. and it changed his life for the better and now he is focused on helping people.. and that's what this line reminds me of.. yes standing up for urself is not necessarily bad in every given situation, but if standing up for yourself' or 'fighting back' is the whole of your belief system, then u are ultimately feeding into a destructive system.. people who think this way are the same ones u end up seeing on first 48 in handcuffs if i was to put it in biblical terms here's what i'd say: "in humility regard others as better than yourselves. Let each of you look not to your own interests, but to the interests of others. Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus." phiippians 2:3-5) He's all I see and all I need (umm... so u need this hood boy more than you need Christ.. hm.. ok) and all that I want (smh) and all that I'm used to I swear that my man's the truth (here we go with that TRUTH thing again.. Christ says "I am the way, the truth, and the light, no man makes it to the Father except through me" -john14:6.. but here she is saying that this hood boy is the "truth".. essentially replacing Jesus with a man who sells crack) I said I swear that my man's the truth (SHE SAID IT A SECOND TIME FOR EMPHASIS!! ARE YOU SERIOUS!!!!!??????) {Chorus} I need a hood boy Wifebeaters and jeans always in the trap and he looks so mean I need a hood boy go'on head pretty nigga We don't like them there need somethin' mo' realer I need a hood boy hot boys rock boys street boys B-boys man I love them boys ok.... this is why i can't even listen to music the way i used to.. because this song is probably perceived by most people as harmless but it is terrible in a lot of ways i could go on but i'm just going to leave it at that go ahead and judge for yourself i'm out.
