Soooo, I knew Essa was a fan of Bruno's music and I really wanted to do a cover of this when I first heard the original. I was just about to ask if she'd like to do a collab when she released a snippet of her covering it already. Perfect. Haha. We came up with this. My lyrics were lacking when I first wrote 'em, so I extended my verse a little. Hope it doesn't bother you guys. Haha.
Anyway, I mess up WAY too many times. With my OWN lyrics. Haha. I suck at memorizing things, so I was reading them and trying to make eye contact with the camera at the same time. Fail.
Good news is I got Movie Maker updated and it's FAR better. Haha.
Check out Essa.

LYRICS TO MY PART:
They told me, you were troublesome.
Stay lonely, or choose another one.
"She ain't even worth it, ditch this option.
Cuz you're a SWEET guy but this chick is ROTTEN"
I've seen your resume, checked your background,
read your motives and I checked your past out.
Thought that I change you if I made you mine,
change your mind, when really it's a waste of time.
I held on through the hell you'd give me.
And when I fell for you, I fell too quickly.
Yes, I fell hard, when I fell you kicked me.
Kicked me in a six-foot ditch, then ditched me.
Ditched for another guy, quickly switched me.
Easily replaced and you did this swiftly.
I was bein' warned that this chick is risky,
told me she's an ALL-AROUND witch--360.
Gimme the word and I would've been your shield, girl.
Wouldn't care if my wounds would ever heal, girl.
Truth is you ain't got a clue to how I feel, girl,
these are not just lyrics, I would do this in the real world.
I would've gone through flames to come and save you,
I guess that when I'm goin' through pain it entertains you.
You were playin' games, I stayed, remainin' faithful.
cuz you knew there's was no way I'd ever hate you.
My homies say you're causin' all the problems I'm in,
like you and I were somethin' like Rihanna and Em.
You're givin' me this pain I did not deserve,
while you plan to just stand there and watch me burn.
If ever someone threw a grenade in your direction,
I would throw myself in the way and intercept it.
And I would hold it, we both should know this,
but who would ever guess you'd be the one to throw it?
your verse is fireee storman<3

Haha, thank you! She's a really amazing singer, so it was my pleasure to have gotten to work with her. :D
And no, I'm not much to look at anyway. Haha. It's better just my voice is heard. :D
