Let Me Performed By Jackie Robinson Lyrics Written By A.J. Joshua

Music Today does not highlight lyrical content much anymore these days. I remember as a young man I couldn’t wait to learn and read the lyrics of my favorite songs. Truth be told, all the cool boys my age was ripping off the stylish R&B singers to get closer to the girls. Yeah we absolutely stole a little of their fashion and charm but the lyrics, we remixed those to fit our rap so that no one would notice but first we had to learn the lyrics.

Performed By New Edition WrittenBy Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis

We would even pretend not to like the song, but we knew the words and we felt the feelings. The Lyrics gave us the confidence to approach the girls, simply because we knew what to say.

Lyrics are still fun to read for me, I still want to know what are some of my favorite songs really saying.
