Straight Up

"Work Out" - J Cole

So, I'm not going to sugar-coat it. I'm quite familiar with this game. Been a part of it countless times before and I think I wanna play again. Why not? I'm a walking contradiction, but I get to make my own decisions and change my mind as I please. No one else is being effected by the choices I make, but me. Does that make me a b*tch? Maybe, but I don't need to justify my actions. Boys have been doing this for years. It's about time to show that girls are just as good, if not better at it.

I'm not looking for a relationship. Those things take too much work and I'm still mighty tired. I see my exes with girls less than worthy of me. I see them trying to do the "boyfriend/girlfriend" thing right this time. Ha! Of course, this time. That's ok, they need to have their hearts broken too. I see them exclusively dating without a label thinking it's different somehow and forgetting that this is where baby mommas come from. That's a lesson they'll have to learn again, but this time I won't be there to fix their mistakes. I see them settling down, moving to a new town, leaving what they know behind, just for her. Let them sacrifice outside of their comfort zone. Let them do what we've been doing. I'm not hating, only stating what I have seen so far.

I don't want to be a couple simply to be a couple. It's ridiculous and unnecessary. I don't want to worry, age, stress, fight, expect, fall in and out of consciousness... I can't. I won't. I want to be in the moment then let go. I want to be detached from everything that made me hurt. And I don't want to hurt anymore so this is what I need. I don't feel guilty. I'm not ashamed. There's no hidden agenda, emotional ties, or miscommunication. I want my fun and I'm gonna get mine. It's about damn time. And this newbie sees what I see. We agree, we're good like this. No bliss. Just an awesome connection filled with good times.


Lyrics:

I wanna see you work for me, work out for me

Hey, we got a good thing
Don’t know if I’mma see you again
But is that a good thing?
Cuz girl I can’t be your man, no ma’am
I know what's on your brain
You’re probably hopin' never would end
Like is it the real thing
Or is it just a one night stand

Let me see you get high and go low
Now girl won’t you drop that thing down to the floor
I’m here for one night, how far would you go?
I wanna see you work out for me, work out for me

High and go low
Now girl won’t you drop that thing down to the floor
I’m here for one night, how far would you go?
I wanna see you work out for me, work out for me

She like them bar with the big old chains
Ride around town in the big old Range
I knew her when I riding big old chains
Now the little n*gg@ doing big old things
Would you look at that, I came back for her
Just to give it to ya, like you asked for it
Man that thing in them jeans too fat for her
It rebounds so I caught it off the backboard
I told her, baby girl come here
Know I run the town even when I ain't from there
And I brag hardly but just to show up at this party I made
What your n*gg@ make in one year, that's unfair but
So is life, take a chance roll a dice
Money can’t buy you love cuz it’s over priced
Don’t over think just hope it’s right
I’m only here for the night

Hey, we got a good thing
Don’t know if I’mma see you again
But is that a good thing?
Cuz girl I can’t be your man, no ma’am
I know whats on your brain
You’re probably hope it never would end
Like is it the real thing
Or is it just a one night stand
Well then

Let me see you get high and go low
Now girl would you drop that thing down to the floor
I’m here for one night, how far would you go?
I wanna see you work out for me, work out for me
High and go low
Now girl won’t you drop that thing down to the floor
I’m here for one night, how far would you go?
I wanna see you work out for me, work out for me

Carolina blue kicks, fresh on the scene
Hottest n*gg@ on the block, damn girl you mean
They be starting sh*t, but it’s your world
On my Martin sh*t, you go girl
She bad and you know it, some n*gg@s save H@es
I’m not that heroic
Could you be my escort
Cuz just like them two door Fords
Damn, they don’t make ‘em like you no more
Cole World, real Cole World
Them boys cool, me I’m on fire
Know whats on my mind, tryna see whats on yours tonight
Tonight, tonight
Move slow, cause you wanna live fast
Up late so you probably skip class
Life is a test so before the night pass get right
Get right

Hey, we got a good thing
Don’t know if I’mma see you again
But is that a good thing?
Cuz girl I can’t be your man, no ma’am
I know what's on your brain
You’re probably hoping it never would end
Like is it the real thing or is just a one night stand
Well then

(Cole World)
Straight up, now tell me do you really wanna love me forever
Oh, oh, oh
Or is it just a hit and run
(Well, hey)
Straight up I tell ya I just really wanna cut when we together
Oh, oh, oh
Come here girl, lets get it on
(Work out for me, work out for me)
Straight up now tell me do you really wanna love me forever?
Oh, oh, oh
Or is it just a hit and run
Well, Straight up I tell ya I just really wanna cut when were together
Oh, oh, oh
Come here girl lets get it on
(Work out for me, work out for me)

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.
