Q-Tip - Even If It Is So

Re-upload of the finally released "Kamaal the Abstract"
Produced by Q-Tip

She be workin at Mickey Ds from 10 to 5, Wallmart 6 to 12
Saving up enough for school her little girl is doing well
Daddy is a workin bum, smoking weed, drinkin rum
Couldnt even leave even if I tried to see the light on her side

Lets build...

She in da back room greasing up
Friday night is heatin up
Young cats trickin up
Dancing so they give it up
Best girl, workin nerve
And you know for what its worth
Shes workin towards a better life
Regardless if she works at nights

Lets build...and the people go..
Even if it is, I dig her so...
Even if she is so...I dig her so

She be workin at Mickey Ds from 10 to 5, Wallmart 6 to 12
Saving up enough for school her little girl is doing well
Daddy is a workin bum, smoking weed, drinkin rum
Couldnt even leave even if I tried to see the light on her side
Lets build...

She in da back room greasing up

Young cats trickin up
Dancing so they give it up

Lets build...

Im just an arty music gigolo
Life is goes without me though
If you have some pay for me
I will come and play for thee
As long as I know she did
I dont even really care
Cause even though our lives arent right
We still see that better light
Lets build....

...even if she is so....I dig her so....
(Something about your love, keep me hangin around
Something about your sweetness)
Even if she is so...even if she is so...

I think it's "I'm just a arty music gigolo, life goes on without me though." Referring to the hole in the description's lyrics.

"She's workin towards a better life

Screw synths.

[dside84]

Between 2:24-2:31 she takes me low, 2:31-2:37 she takes me lower and then at 2:38 she uplifts me. 2:24-2:43...just these 19 seconds alone can make my soul smile any day of the week. Just beautifully genius.

recorded in 2001. I remember seeing all the ads in rap magazines for this album.
