I can imagine to the untrained native English speaking eye, lil' kids singing about Alcohol may seem a lil', uh, wrong.
Well it's harmless, really, the only alcohol they're hip with is "só para desinfetar," only for disinfecting purposes.
While researching today's or tomorrow's MJ sample, I came across an oldie but goodie from my childhood. I'm young, so when I was given Michael Jackson's 'Invincible' as a birthday gift, I went berserk with it. One of the songs I remember the most was his 'Break of Dawn.'
And it sorta reminded me of U.N.I.'s remix to their song, Beautiful Day.
Fast-forward a bit 'til you hear it.
But um, yeah.
Enjoy!
RIP Michael Jackson

I love Camp Lo.
My dad loves them too, and surprisingly, knows all the lyrics to this song.
But he and I both agree with the fact that we have no clue what either Geechi Suede or Sonny Cheeba are talking about. We get a few of the references, but other than that, it just flies over our head.
Either way, it doesn't stop the song from being dope.Or Camp Lo for that matter. Their whole style is just...amusing. Hipster, who cares? Gangsta Rapper, been there done that.
But dressing like you stepped out of the seventies? You've got hella swagger.
Enjoy!

In my quest to at least a proper grip on this song, I looked up some of these buzzwords and I found this hilarious definition,

I found that to be hilarious.

While there's been plenty to love (Baaaarack Obammmmaaaaa!)
There's also been plenty to frown at ...
(Livin is very competitive
Hassling creditors, hazardous accidents/ Driving with negligence
Too many beverages, people got to many things on they letters/
Says Tv's deadliest, professing the ugliest/
War, war, war, war!)
So for the bad things, I say Wash It Down...
And, you be alright.
See you next year...

I come from the housin tenement buildings
Unlimited killings, menaces marked for death
Better known as the projects where junkies and rock heads dwell
Though I owe to it my success
With survival of the fittest, everyday is a chal'
I would think I'm a part of U.S.A. and be proud
Confronted with racism, started to feel foreign
Like, the darker you are the realer your problems
I reached for the stars but I just kept slippin
On this life mission, never know what's next
Ancient kings from Egypt, up to Julius Caeser
Had a piece of the globe, every continent
Yo, there's Asia, Africa, Europe, France, Japan
Pakistan, America, Afghanstan
Yo, there's Protestants, Jews, Blacks, Arabics
Call a truce, world peace, stop actin like savages
No war, we should take time and think
The bombs and tanks makes mankind extinct
But since the beginning of time it's been men with arms fightin
Lost lives in the Towers and Pentagon, why then?
Must it go on, we must stop the killin
Tell me why we die, we all God's children
All this hate can't last forever (uh, c'mon)
It's time that we stand together (yeah, for the world)
Everybody wants to rule the world (what, what, what, what, what, c'mon)
World (peace), world (peace), world (peace), world
Yo, there's brothers on the block, posted up like they own it
That's they corner, from New York to California
Got blocks locked down
Like, "dog you safe whenever you with me, see this is my town"
So the youngsters, grows in ghettos, goes to prison
At an early age, already know it's against him
So in order for him to survive, one day he must
Open up his eyes to the set backs and rise
'Cause, everybody wants a shot, in this land of opportunity
Look at what this country's got
There shouldn't be nobody homeless
How can the president fix other problems when he ain't fixed home yet
The earth wasn't made for one man to rule alone
To all colors increases, to home it belongs
I want land, mansions, banks and gold
The diamonds in Africa, oil in my control
The world's natural resources, all its residuals
But then comes foes, I have to gaurd it with missels
And I become the most wanted
But is it worth hearin a million people problems and followed by Secret Service
I guess, attempts at my life with loaded barrels
So move over Colin Powell or just throw in the towel, yo
Y'all know that's my style, to hit you at the right time
No other compares to what Nas write down
Tell you my dreams, show you my pain is yours
You could get what you love, be a chain in cause
You alive right now
There's so many that's dead or locked up inside the beast, I'm a hot light now
It's whatever man think of manifest to the real
The plan is to wake up 'cause time reveals
All this hate can't forever last
All my ghetto heroes in Heaven, it's like you right here and never passed
You just transcend, I know I'm gon' see you again
Hopin I reach the world leaders and win
Ain't nothin without struggle, listen up, it's critical
We used to fear arms, now the weapons are chemical
In Hip-Hop, the weapons are lyrical
To be the best you challenge the best, then the blessings are spiritual
Top of the world for the kid and unless
Poppin any rapper's head off his shoulders no contest
I know the Most High hear me, so fly you can't near me
You scared of a mirror, my theory is that - knowledge is power
To every projects and every street corner, we gotta get ours now
What would you dedicate to this election?
What song personifies what it means to you?

I've been meaning to say something about this song for awhile, and Mr. Patterson's appearance on Baisden After Dark was more than a late slip in the face, so I figured it was about time.
My father's been a fan of Rahsaan Patterson for a while now, and my earliest memory of his music was 'Where You Are', another feel good song that I think works best when you can sing along to it, "So you'd feel involved with the song."
So I suggest you listen to the song, then use the lyrics below to 'feel involved.' You'll see that you too, will feel just as good.
It's the dog in the park
It's the fog after dark
It's the wind in your hair
It's the keys that you left
After giving your best
It's the thought as I walk
It's like taking sips from your cup of coffee
Smoking a cigarette after dinner time
It's like making love on Egyptian cotton
all in all and
We'll be fine
Chorus :
Feels good
It feels good
Feels good
It feels good
So good
Feels so good
It feels so good
You know it feels so good
It's a song in your head
Eating chocolate in bed
It's a bird up in flight
A divine melody
Glass of wine
Burgundy
It's the love of your life
It's like
It's like taking sips from your cup of coffee
Smoking a cigarette after dinner time
It's like making love on Egyptian cotton
On and on and
We'll be fine
Chorus :
Feels good
(Feels good, you know)
It feels good
(You know it feels good)
Feels good
(Oh, you know it feels)
It feels good
No doubt
We got a love thing
That's definitely here to stay
One thing I do have to say is
That in each and every way
Feels good
So good
So good
Chorus :
Feels good
(Hum, you know it feels)
It feels good
(Oh you know that)
Feels good
(Oh you know it feels good)
It feels good
Feels so good
Feels so good
Feels so good
