"Ain't Too Proud To Beg" - TLC
Ok, so this isn't the best audio recording of this song, but unfortunately, the playlist only had just this one available. I could've picked the many other TLC songs that I love, but why this one? Well, if not for obvious reasons, it's because this was their first release into the mainstream. And I have to say, I'm so grateful they came out when they did.
They made it fashionable not to be a hoe. They flaunted their sex appeal without having to strip down to nothing. Dressed in baggy pants and XXL t-shirts, they taught young women how to speak up and say what they want: A good man, a free spirit, a strong mind, a warm heart, loyal friends, and not to mention, hot safe sex! Sportin' a condom over her left eye, rapper "Lefteye" (R.I.P.) wasn't afraid to step outside of the box and in your face with the reality in which we live in. And with T-Boz and Chilli singing harmoniously about accepting who we are, loving our bodies, and appreciating our health, their music carried with it more than just a good beat. It preached an important message of protecting the one person that should matter most: Me.
Lyrics:
Yo mic check 1-2, 1-2
We in the house
Yeah come on
1992 TLC kickin' off in your Mutha...
So ya best be duckin' fast
Yo T-Boz is ya being a boss
Chilli what's up wit' dat sauce?
Dis is it
Yo "T" step on that (shhh)
I ain't 2 proud, I ain't 2 proud 2 beg
Thinkin' short of what you got
Better get it while it's hot
Ain't no better love than your own
Unmistakin' urge 2 be sexin' with society
How can you be happy alone
When I need 2 feel love
Why wait 4 so long
Cuz I ain't 2 proud 2 beg
4 something that I call my own
And I want 2 be touched
And feeling so much see cause
Everybody needs some good lovin'
Yo if I need it in the morning or the middle of the night
I ain't 2 proud 2 beg (no)
If the lovin' is strong then he got it goin' on and
I ain't 2 proud 2 beg (no)
2 inches or a yard rock hard or if it's saggin'
I ain't 2 proud 2 beg (no)
So it ain't like I'm braggin' just join the paddywagon cause
I ain't 2 proud 2 beg, I ain't 2 proud 2 beg
Screaming' loud and holdin' sheets
Scared that you'll be called a freak
Gotta let it go while you can
Ain't 2 proud 2 beg you see
Cuz my man belongs 2 me
And I know that he understands
Yo Left Eye kick that rap
Realize the realism of reality treats
Us both the same
Cuz satisfaction is the name of this game
So I choose to explain it's evident
Left Eye don't mean the rest of my body is irrelevant
In other words let's refresh your head
About pullin' down curtains and breakin' da waterbed
Yeah I like it when you (kiss)
Both sets of lips
Oooh on the TLC tip
I ain't 2 proud 2 beg (I ain't 2 proud 2 beg)
What I call my own
Just you and me (uh)
Hey
I ain't 2 proud 2 beg
TLC isn't 2 proud 2 beg
I ain't 2 proud 2 beg (no)
