UGK- Living This Life


UGK- One Day

Spoiler

My world a trip you can ask Bun B bytch I ain't no liar
My man Bobo just lost his baby in a house fire
And when I got on my knees that night to pray
I asked "God, why you let these killers live and take my homeboy's son away?"
Man if you got kids show you love em cause God just might call em home
Cause one day you're here and baby the next day, they gone

Pimp C feat. Z-Ro

And even more than my freedom, I wish I had something else
I would give back everything I've accomplished for this one thing and nothing else
I ain't talking about a relationship, cause broads bring too much drama
I'd even pass the chance to be a millionaire if I could hug and kiss my momma
I remember like it was yesterday, although I was 6 years old
"Mama, what's wrong? Wake up, wake up! Why ya forehead hot and ya hands so cold?"
"Who all these people up in our room? Auntie tell them to put my momma down"
I didn't understand what was going on, but it felt wrong cause so many people came around
I didn't have to go to school that day, and everybody was buying me shyt
Telling me 'everything was alright' but they was sad and crying and shyt
Ain't that bytch, my momma ain't never came back, I wish I could hug and kiss her
Even though Auntie and Grandma Dorothy raised me right, I still miss her

If you black...and dont feel anything listening to this song...you have no fukkin soul.
Just peep the youtube comments

"bulging eyes and twisted mouth..."
The lyrics make me feel as if I am witnessing the horror of it while she sings. A chilling and unforgettable song. Genius...

It's not "hauntingly beautiful" It's just haunting

chilling. absolutely chilling.

Dear lord, I have chills . . . 

I had never heard this before.
I want to cry.

amen...the words to this song are so haunting almost gives me chills. And the scary part is..its all true, during that time lynchings were everywhere

This song disturbs me

The most haunting lyrics ever

how did she not cry singing this

There is so much emotion in her face and voice. It gives me goosebumps all over

this song is so powerful i wouldnt be able to clap after shes done, i would just stay quiet

this performance creeps up my white spine

WHen I saw this video for the first time (I think it was on PBS) I stopped dead in my tracks, I couldn't move, I was so completely captivated. Her voice, the passion, oh my God. Just goooooosebumps, over my whole body.  Absolutely amazing
