Love Life

MUSIC

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
