Song of the Moment #57: Iyaz – Replay
This song is stuck in my head now thanks to being replayed on every single radio station preset in my car. (See what I did there? Hur hur hurrrrrr.... -_-)
I have worked hard to make changes for myself and to escape the dark times of my past - which may have been a result of a chemical imbalance in my brain, but I will not associate myself to something that still has social stigma attached to it.
This year has been a year of great change throughout the world and within myself. I have never felt more "adventurous" and being comfortable awkward in certain situations only to laugh it off.
Music has kept me sane - not a day goes by without my iPod. This song, to me, relates to someone who, not through regular contact but just by being (funny how that works), motivates me and inspires me to:
- Get good grades so I can go somewhere I want to be, be able to provide, and not be another deadbeat father.
- Learn guitar and piano to be able to impress her and to enrich the lives of others and hopefully of my children and grandchildren.
- Live a healthier lifestyle so I can live long to see my grandchildren - and possibly even great grandchildren.
Yes, I am well aware that cooking is a huge plus. That can be #4 but don't expect any progress on that anytime soon, haha.
Pro tip in life: You do everything better when it is for someone you care deeply about. Heck, you do your best.
Lyrics:
Shawty's like a melody in my head
That I can't keep out
Got me singin' like
Na na na na everyday
It's like my iPod stuck on replay, replay-ay-ay-ay (2x)
Remember the first time we met
You was at the mall wit yo friend
I was scared to approach ya
But then you came closer
Hopin' you would give me a chance
Who would have ever knew
That we would ever be more than friends
We're real worldwide, breakin all the rules
She like a song played again and again
That girl, like somethin off a poster
That girl, is a dime they say
That girl, is a gun to my holster
She's runnin through my mind all day, ay
Shawty's like a melody in my head
That I can't keep out
Got me singin' like
Na na na na everyday
It's like my iPod stuck on replay, replay-ay-ay-ay (2x)
See you been all around the globe
Not once did you leave my mind
We talk on the phone, from night til the morn
Girl you really change my life
Doin things I never do
I'm in the kitchin cookin things she likes
We're real worldwide, breakin all the rules
Someday I wanna make you my wife
That girl, like somethin off a poster
That girl, is a dime they say
That girl, is the gun to my holster
She's runnin through my mind all day, ay
Shawty's like a melody in my head
That I can't keep out
Got me singin' like
Na na na na everyday
It's like my ipon stuck on replay, replay-ay-ay-ay (2x)
I can be your melody
A girl that could write you a symphony
The one that could fill your fantasies
So come baby girl let's sing with me
Ay, I can be your melody
A girl that could write you a symphony
The one that could fill your fantasies
So come baby girl let's sing with me
Ay, na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Shawty got me singin
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Now she got me singin
Shawty's like a melody in my head
That I can't keep out
Got me singin' like
Na na na na everyday
It's like my iPod stuck on replay, replay-ay-ay-ay (2x)
