Lyrics:
[Hook]
If she don't love me, what can I do?
Just put on my best pair of shoes
Because I'm me
Because she said, "He's the one that drill the charms
Honey let's go wrong"
I just want to know
What's wrong with me?
Being in love with you
[Verse 1: Sonny Cheeba]
Yeah
9th grade had the jingles of the swinging rainbow jacket
Lost lingo, Bronx's only Django
Snap, he'd got less tougher
That's where my props go
That's where my pops went
See my percentage is a pennant to the planet
Knock it out the ball park, Frankie
I should not tire this tire
To a better love, let the wings spread
It'll always come back, baby
Come back, shellac black, baby
A come back, flat black paint on a Chevy
[Hook]
If she don't love me, what can I do?
Just put on my best pair of shoes
Because, I'm, I'm me
Because I'm me
Because I'm me
Because I'm me, I'm me
[Verse 2: Sonny Cheeba]
Never mind my tone when I told Pretty Tony
Listen to my tone, you ain't catchin' you a Tony
Award-winning walk when you running with a shottie
Why you running from us?
Why you messing with us?
We ain't got no guns, we just let the bears witness
The Grizzly, maybe Polar
You ain't ready, you ain't ready 'ready rolled up
Pulling a machete, cut the bamboo paper
And let's roll out baby
[Hook]
I just want to know
What's wrong with me?
[Instrumental]
"Watch the shit, it's good"

Whenever I stumble across a good new tune like this, it encourages me to keep living just to see what else people can come up with
-
To all the people who found this by accident I hope you know that the Avalanches make all oh their songs with nothing but samples, which is dope in my opinion
-
I don't know what it is, but no other song makes me feel this way. I think this song is absolutely beautiful, but I can't bring myself to listen to it, because it makes me want to cry. It makes me think of life, all the years behind me that I will never be able to get back, but also all the years ahead of me that I can look forward to. This song brings me both sadness, but also hope, and an encouragement to keep living.
-
man, these guys are the kings of sampling!! I went down the rabbit hole with this one... LOVE the way they incorporate other songs. Eye in the Sky is another great one!
-
For those saying "why was a 10yo boy hitting on a grown woman", He was NOT a boy. The boy does not exist. The man on the BENCH was the one hitting on the ticket lady! The boy was the beautiful, loveable , childish and talented person the "subway bum" imagined himself to be. But the ticket woman can only see a "subway bum" singing for pennies. Get it? Brilliant writing and heart-warming song! A+
-
this album deserves the movie treatment. I love its retro inner city concept.
-
Shout out to Sonny Cheeba with the bars on this record and being in the video. He from the Legendary Camp Lo Group.
-
That rap segment is easily among the hardest flows I've heard, goddamn. Love finding gems like this, wish I caught onto it in 2016! My head hurts from how bursting with pride this song is.
-
4 years later i'm still extremely impressed how this song manages to be about unrequited love and one of the most joyous songs in existence at the same time. Love it.
-
I like that there is always a band ready to help a brother out
-
Video is perfect. Dance choreography is perfect. Song is perfect. 1/2 of Camp Lo on the mic: Legendary.
-
The young man in this video is so talented and cute.❤❤❤
-
Whoever paid to have this moved up the YouTube algorithms... Thank you..
-
My boy left his whole heart on the platform, and she says “really”
-
Wish I could give this song a Thumbs-Up again and again and again...every time my broken heart needs a reminder
-
Incredible! The Honey Cone/Want Ads sample, the kid singing & dancing his heart out and of corse the legendary Sonny Cheeba droppin' bars!
-
nothing hits harder than listening to a song for the first time
-
I love finding songs on accident
-
How tf I’m a hip hop historian, a 80’s baby from Ny and never heard this til today? This Heatmakers and dipset, this Alchemist...This is that late golden era of Rap
-
I came here to say, I love when rappers go outside of the box with music videos. It shows a true artist
