Title: I didn't know
Post by: Naturelle on October 25, 2007, 01:31:59 PM
That John Forte was incacerated: I don't know how I missed it. I was wondering why he has been so quiet, just randomly googled him earlier.
Has Wyclef said anything about this, how come I missed thi? howcome?


What A Difference
featuring Dinah Washington

I did the money thing Pa!
Like back in the Score
Who caught feelings when they heard John don't rap no more?
I've evolved to better things
I want homes instead of rings
I want sons with siblings who don't know what nigger means
I earned mine and went through it trying to make mine
And now I look at the game and absolutely hate rhyming
"Man, what is you talking, what's them things you're glamorizing"
Fed time make you hard? Look, God
I've seen it first hand like it was destined from the first strand
I bounced back and then immersed, man!
You see the only thing I'll ever miss is kisses from Mom
I don't club no more
Ain't no twisting my arm
I smoke a cigarrette, drink beer and write a new song
So that my spirit's here even if I'm gone and she said

Lord what a difference a day makes
What a difference a day makes
Lord what a difference a day makes
What a difference a day makes

I got enticed with the paper bags of cash and coins
And when it all came down I surpa**ed the storm
Remember fam none of you, forget I'm one of you
Love is love til this tiny planet stops to spin
So when we all come home, we gon' do it again
The soils fertile time to plant it
Jump them hurdles dammit
So high in fact it's hard to decipher where you landed
Was a product of mix breed
Center court, front row, hoping that the Knicks lead
Then it's back to work
When it comes to friendship, trust factors first
No matter how many tours, I never lack the thirst
It was good back to worse, worse to good
I broke a mirror last year, I think the curse has stood
But I gotta thank ya'
We sing now and the streets still say
That's gansta, gansta, gansta, gansta
What a difference a day makes.

hey Mel, no need for complaints when its a friday.
You know how the forte was always somewhere in the background, there but no quite in your face but still noticeable. He's missed.
