Rest in Peace Nate

"Never Leave Me Alone" - Nate Dogg



5:35 pm...

I was so distracted this morning that all I could do was post a video and try to work, but I knew I had to write something about why this has made such an impact on me. I was driving to work today and decided to give my iPod a rest. I usually hate the radio, but Power 106 was playing all the ol' skool gangsta rap I loved growing up. Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Warren G., Korupt, Ice Cube, Nate Dogg, etc... But then I thought, "Wait a minute, they never play sh*t like this anymore unless...ok ok who passed away this time?" I was hoping to be wrong, but nowadays it's hard to listen to great stuff on the radio because music just isn't the same. It's catchy, but kinda stupid. And if it's any good, they play it out so much it starts to sound bad. So you can't blame a gal for thinking the worst case scenario and sadly, I was right.

Nate Dogg passed away late last night. I heard he suffered a few strokes before and unfortunately, wasn't in the best condition, but I just didn't think he'd die. He was so young. I'm not too far away from his age myself so again it all has me thinking. It's a matter of time and it comes down to what we do with this time that can change everything.

Lyrics:

Never Leave me alone (never leave me alone)
Leave me alone (never leave me alone)
never leave me alone (Never leave me aloooone)
leave me alone (Never leave me alone)
Never leave Me alone

They tell me that temptation, ooh, is very hard to resist
You tell me that you want me, I tried to hide my feelings, D-O-G's
ain't supposed to feel like this
You can call it what you want to, but I don't even know what it is
You've got me singin' in the morning, you bring me breakfast in my bed
and when it hurts you rub my head
I'll ask you one time only, baby, won't you be there when it's hectic
When I don't have a hit record (Never leave me alone)

Never Leave me alone (never leave me alone)
Leave me alone (never leave me alone)
never leave me alone (Never leave me aloooone)
leave me alone (Never leave me alone)
Never leave Me alone

I've traveled so many places, I've seen so many faces
There were times I didn't think I'd make it through (alone)
I went through so many phases that got me so many cases
Three strikes you're gonna' then what you gonna do
I guess I'll call my lady and tell her to kiss my baby
They tell me that crime is all I know how to do
Tell him his daddy's sorry, let him know all about me
There's one more thing I'd really like for you to do

Never Leave me alone (never leave me alone)
Leave me alone (never leave me alone)
never leave me alone (Never leave me aloooone)
leave me alone (Never leave me alone)
Never leave Me alone

Somebody was naughty when they snitched on me
And the judge just sentenced me to do about a century
I'm mobbin' through the county mainline
back in 9500 just tryin' to handle mine
Spittin' game at the homies about the good ol' days
As we try to pass time waiting for the chain to Chino
I see no reason to cry but I miss my baby boo
And my nigga Spanky too
It's true that the dirt I did from an O.G. to a snotty nose kid
Got me caught up in the rapture like maze days gone by
And real G's gon cry
But I try to walk the yard with my head to the sky
And hope my baby boo ain't f@$kin niggas on the outside
But what's the chance it ain't crackin
If I was out and she was in I'd probably be mackin
I can't lie
So I say I would now my girl in a world of playahood
A playa should show a nigga love and look our
But the niggas I know would probably turn your ass out
So keep away better yet stay away
And hope I get out one day, OK
But if I don't I guess this is home
My girl is trippin she got a block on the phone

Never Leave me alone (never leave me alone)
Leave me alone (never leave me alone)
never leave me alone (Never leave me aloooone)
leave me alone (Never leave me alone)
Never leave Me alone

Soul Mates

"Once Upon A Dream" - Sleeping Beauty How funny it is that even after all these years and how far we've come with animation, this classic Disney cartoon still grabs me. Yes, I know it's silly, but it's a silly I grew up with and can't help but fall for... I know the story is so far fetched: a 16 year old girl (that looks more like a 21 year old) with gold of sunshine in her hair and lips that would shame the red, red rose sings high up in the mountain tops and suddenly attracts the man of her dreams; her soul mate! (who by golly is the prince that she has been betrothed to since she was a baby!). Unbelievable. So it's all fairytale crap, but so what? I'm not into it because of the romance! To tell you the truth, I don't even like Aurora all that much, the spoiled lil' brat. I mean, she's beautiful in EVERY way, finds out she's a princess and is going to marry into royalty on top of her royalty! I can't really sympathize... Seriousl...

Broken

"Paradise" - Coldplay It took a while for this song to affect me, but I guess a windy drive home through an obstacle course of devastating proportions and the sudden panic of having a "State of Emergency" warning flash within my quiet hometown can change things. A lot. I didn't sleep a single minute last night. Although this isn't anything new, it's new to me to want to sleep and not get it. It was unbelievably frightening to be alone in my room with the nite-lite busted and the wind at full speed...even worse when half the roof over my head flew to the ground with a thunderous thud bringing the rest of the sleepless city to its feet. We've seen the Santa Ana winds, but never at this magnitude. It moved cars and busted windows. It rattled fences and ripped gates apart. It knocked over trashcans and picked up patio furniture like it weighed nothing. In the morning when the dust settled just enough for the hazy sun to bring some light to the mayhem, w...

Welcome to People

Songs TBA Last night, I saw a special, private screening courtesy of the Screening Exchange called, "Welcome to People" directed by Alex Kurtzman. I loved it and it wasn't something that I thought I'd love. In fact, I almost changed my mind at the last minute when I saw that familiar long line down the steps at Arclight Paseo. I figured, "Hell it's just another movie." But I'm so glad I didn't turn around. I'm glad I stood in the back of the line, got my hand stamped and cell phone taken away for nearly 3-hours in order to be in a room filled with strangers. I just wish I had something with me to write down the great songs I heard that disappeared by the time I logged onto this blog. It makes me appreciate technology...so check it out when it comes out. I'll make sure I have my cell phone handy the next time I see it so I can grab some songs along the way. Oh, I'm Hannah, not Frankie and let me know what you think.
