Young Homie
Lately, I have not been buying any music; nothing has been worth it to me. However, I had to come out of hibernation and buy the autobiographical, Young Homie from Chris Rene - "It was the song that won him a spot on the first season of Fox’s The X Factor (USA) and made him a YouTube hit just days after his audition aired...And now, fans can," (Nenedog, February 23, 2012) buy Rene's studio single via itunes. If you haven't heard it before, you must check it out. It's worth it. Young Homie is one of those feel good songs that reminds you that you can't sweat the small stuff, because life is too short; instead, you must "love life," embrace it, and live each moment like it's your last (at least that's what kind of song it is for me).
The Lyrics
Open up my mind with these spoken words,
Let this music heal like an overture,
She’s the only one, one, one, yeah, yeah
And so I roll with her, ooh,
That’s how it’s supposed to be,
Living life with loved ones close to me,
Shh, ahh, this is the remedy,
And I got the recipe, I don’t need no
Hennessy,
Yeah, it’s been nine months now,
Haven’t had a drink and I’m starting to
see clear now,
I’m putting all my fears down,
I can hear the cheers now,
Seeing peace signs when I look around
Hey, young homie what you trippin’ on
Looking at life, like how did I get it
wrong,
Life’s too short, gotta live it long,
To my brothers and sisters, when will we
get along,
Hey, young homie what you trippin’ on,
Looking at life, like how did I get it
wrong,
Life’s too short, gotta live it long,
To my brothers and sisters when will we
get along
Open up your eyes, look around
Homie, can you see how it’s going down?
Brothers locked up, sisters knocked up
If you wanna build your love up, put
your hate down
Ooh, that’s the only way to live
Turnin’ negatives to positives
"It’s gonna be alright" Bob
Marley said
F*ck the dumb sh*t, keep it movin’,
that’s what time it is
Hey, young homie what you trippin’ on
Looking at life, like how did I get it
wrong,
Life’s too short, gotta live it long,
To my brothers and sisters, when will we
get along
Hey, young homie what you trippin’ on
Looking at life, like how did I get it
wrong,
Life’s too short, gotta live it long,
To my brothers and sisters, when will we
get along
Give peace to the war in the streets,
Give peace to the evil that creeps,
yeah,
I just ride, put my hand to the sky,
Live life like I’m never gon’ die,
See we be fighting and fussing over
nothing,
So much destruction, looking like
puppets,
Combusting like nothing, now listen,
It takes education, to change your
reputation,
From bad to good, you’re gettin’ better
now you’re elevating,
They be singing, family’s hanging,
everybody’s chillin’
Not gonna stop this, living on the
feeling,
Man this is the real thing, tell me can
you feel me,
Wait ‘til they drop this, dancing on the
ceiling
Hey, young homie what you trippin’ on
Ah, what you really trippin’ on,
Life’s too short, gotta live it long,
To my brothers and sisters when will we
get along,
Hey, young homie what you trippin’ on,
Looking at life, like how did I get it
wrong
Life’s too short, gotta live it long,
To my brothers and sisters when will we
get along
Young homie what you trippin’ on
