Solange: I Decided

Remarks:

This is easily my favourite video of this song. I am in love with the shorter backing singer.

Lyrics:

ohhhh
spoken:I cant hear myself
ooo
spoken:can you please turn me up a little bit more

I was a little different
I didn’t do what the fast girls do
study my rhythm
you can speed me up when you want to, oooh

They were to cool to run my race
You kept the pace with a smile on ya face
Go head baby(go head baby)
Then I knew he was you(then i knew he was you)

But first you took me around
Introduced me to your family and friends
And told them how that once we met that
We would never lose
Oh boy

I decided that you are the him for me
Oh boy
Because…..
I decided that you are the him for me
Oh my boy

How’s it feel to win it
Where ain’t no mountains that you can’t move
Your mind is like a prism
For god’s light to shine through

They were to cool to run my race (Yeah)
You kept the pace with a smile on ya face
Go head baby (go head baby)
Then I knew it was true (Then I knew it was you)

But first you took me around
Introduced me to your family and friends
And told them how that once we met that
We would never lose (never lose never lose)
Oh boy

I decided that you are the him for me
Oh boy
Because…….
I decided (I decided) that you are the him for me (u are the one for me baby)
Oh my boy (OHH Boy)

You were running me running me down (down)
Telling me telling me wait (wait)
Running me down and telling me you were never gonna let go
Is the way you got me (ohh thats the way u got me when u got me baby ohh now u got me baby)

You were running me running me down (running)
Telling me telling me wait (tellin me tellin me wait)
Running me down and telling you were never gonna let go
Is the way you got me

Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Baby, Dont break my heart
Whoa..Let me take it from you (let me take it from you)
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby (baby)
Cause were one and the closer I get
To you the more fearful I become
Whoa….That would break me in two Honey (that would break me in two honey)

Because…..
I decided that you are the him for me
Oh my boy

(Yes)You were running me running me down (running me running me down)
Telling me telling me wait
Running me down and telling you were never gonna let go yeah yeah that’s the way u you got me baby
that’ the way you got me baby

You were running me running me down
Telling me telling me wait
Running me down and telling you were never gonna let go
Is the way you got me

Solange: F*ck the Industry (Signed Sincerely)

I’ll never be a picture perfect Beyonce
Fly like J-Lo
Or singing baby like Ashanti
I barely comb my hair
Yea that’s on a good day
I don’t care what the hood say
I ain’t street like Keyshia
Ain’t never tried to be
And I got soul in my soul
But not quite like Mary
Ain’t nothing really R&B about me
And I said bump what the hood say
I’m sorry I ain’t in the Benzes in my videos
I’m sorry I ain’t even really tryna match my clothes
I can tell you better bigger for my Queen did
But I can’t also tell you who the King dealer is
And I got knowledge if you really want to talk about it
No I don’t trust the park just to walk around it
So I’m writing the letter to the industry
It says fuck you signed sincerely

Awww yeah
Here we go again
Solo can you tone it down
Be more like them
But everything I’m not
makes me everything I am

Awww yeah
Ooh here we go again
People talking shit
But when the shit hits the fan
Everything I’m not
Makes me everything I am

I’m not a goody-goody
But I don’t watch my mouth
like I’m a goody-goody
But I appreciate the ones who rooting for me
‘Cause everybody gone/got an opinion baby
And I been feeling lately
Like I can’t help it
Big up haters
If you don’t like it
I didn’t make it
for you ooh ooooh
You ooh ooooh
I’m not apologetic
If you don’t like it, it’s probably ’cause you don’t get it
And you can tell the world
What you heard I said
And I ain’t talking about me
I’m talking bout the ones who represent what I believe
The fresh kids
The what comes next kids
The see you at the art exhibit
Oh hell yes kid
The politic kids
The be your thing and declare your independence kids
If I’ma vote for something
I’ma go Barack the vote this year
Talking ’bout the ones
who said enough
But I got too much I don’t give a what’ in my cup
Now I don’t care what the next man is saying
I’m just saying to the industry
This is fuck you signed sincerely

Oh yeah
Oh here we go again
People talking shit
I don’t give a damn
Everything I’m not
Makes me everything I am

Oooh yeah
Oh here we go again
People talking shit with no pot to piss in
But everything I’m not
Is everything I can

I can do anything
I remember the Doc sayin’
What you gone do, girl you 17
Ohhhh ohhhh ohhh ohhh
Ohhhh ohhhh ohhh ohhh

‘Ye ripped on this track, made it into a jam
I just borrowed it just to tell you who I am
Ohhhh ohhhh ohhh ohhh
Ohhhh ohhhh ohhh ohhh

Solange: Sandcastle Disco

Who would’ve known
The rain and the sunshine
Would Ooh Baby Baby
Build up these walls of mine?
And I can’t see you or breathe you
Cause there’s trouble right beneath you
It’s all in the night
But ooh baby baby
Come pick me up in your ride

I’m a cool low Jane
With a skip on my feet
I play tough as nails
With my heart on my sleeve
I’m nothing but a sandcastle
Baby don’t blow me away away

Baby I know you do that to all the girls
You know that I’m fragile
Ooh ooh ooh ooh hoo hoo ooh
Bay ba ba ba ba-by
Don’t blow me away

Baby I know you do that to all the girls
You know that I’m fragile
Ooh ooh ooh ooh hoo hoo ooh
Bay ba ba ba ba-by
Don’t blow me away

Who would’ve known
The storm of my past times
Would ooh baby make me
Losing the song of the eye

And I can’t believe you or read you
Cause the pleasure in your preview
It’s all in your eyes
But oh Mr. DJ, baby, can you meet me out side

You’re a old school dude
With a kick on your shoes
You got groove in your hand
The way you spin those tunes
I’m nothing but a sand castle
Baby don’t blow away away

Baby I know you do this to all the girls
But Baby I’m fragile
Ooh ooh ooh ooh hoo hoo ooh
Bay ba ba ba ba-by
Don’t blow me away

Baby I know you do that to all the girls
You know that I’m fragile
Ooh ooh ooh ooh hoo hoo ooh
Bay ba ba ba ba-by
Don’t blow me away

Ooh and just like the ocean
Lays right there behind me
Look over my sandcastle
And there’s a sight to see
Don’t blow me away
Don’t blow me baby

Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
ba ba ba ba ba

Ooh baby I know you do that to all the girls
You know that I’m fragile
Ooh ooh ooh ooh hoo hoo ooh
Bay ba ba ba ba-by
Don’t blow me away

Baby I know you do that to all the girls
You know that I’m fragile
Ooh ooh ooh ooh hoo hoo ooh
And bay ba ba ba ba-by
Please don’t blow me away

Away Away

Ba ba-da, ba ba ooh ooh Away away
Ba ba-da, ba ba ooh ooh Away away

Ba ba-da, ba ba ooh ooh
Ba ba-da, ba ba ooh ooh
