Amy!!!! its bittersweet really

[PabloD]

So sad this is not a whole song. It has incredible potential. The vocal melody is absolutely beautiful!!

Still lovely. Nas does a great job and so does Salaam. Beautiful.

[Cynthia]

Oh my god, i can't listen to it, because i want to wait until december, i already listened to the "Our Day Will Come" Preview and that just made my month. <3 <3

[Amy Jenna Harper]

Nice..thanks

[AMYstery]

I like it !

But I'm a bit confused about the history of this track. Some sites say this is a collaboration from 2008, however in the NME review they said that Salaam had "grafted" Nas onto an unfinished Amy-demo ?

[Elsie]

Both tracks are great, but I am absolutely in love with this one. Lyrics mostly from here, added some from what I could recognize.

[Hook]
I never wanted you
To be my man
I just needed company
Didn't wanna get depended on
Your time or who you'll spend it on
But I lose it when you look at me
Like smoke
I hung around in the unbalanced
Wooooah, ohh

It's not a movie, this is not a script to proofread
I'll spit some untruths to dumb fools and groupies
Fun to punctuate, pronunciate the funds I make, the miles I take,
Put in your face
Oh my mistake, you’re not a floosy? Then excuse me
Before I talk, my style introduced me
Get your name and phone number like 1-2-3
Y’all know the story, y’all know the commentary
I kick the narrative, this is legendary
The good Samaritan, hood thespian
Like a polygamist with a twist
Will I marry again? Maybe, I guess
I hold a lady interest I just met
The love scholar, she the teacher’s pet
Every other eve we meet and make each other sweat
I feel triumphant, no strings
Just a fling to have fun with
I be out in London, Camden
Huntin’ for the answers, why did God take away the homie?
I can’t stand it
I’m a firm believer that we all meet up in eternity
Just hope the big man show me some courtesy
Why? ‘Cause I’m deemed a heart breaker
Like smoke, girls linger ‘round the player
Yeaha

[Hook][Verse 2: Nas]
Yo, this recession is a test
It’s affecting my complexion
Misdirecting my affection
My concerns are bill collections
The faxes, the taxes, they after me
Chapter three, my property
My handlers, they dealt with me improperly
I say some things I should probably keep privately
Evaluate the world bank trusts like I’m IEG
Those fly suites in my burgeoisy
Tall freak, she wouldn’t protest with me at Wall Street
She says, no you’re so deep
I said, no let’s go through it
Historically so ruthless feds came for Joe Louis
She said, my man you need to laugh sometimes
Classifies me as a whore, I told her have some wine
You colder than penguin pussy, at her dismay
She’s thinkin’ that’s just so silly to say
But if you really think about it hussy
See a penguin, he drags his ass on the ground all day
And it's a drag and it's a bust, adjurn, end to it just lust
I’m through with you after I crush, so is that humorous enough?
The smoke I puff
Tell the car to go to Aura, Funky Buddah, Whisky Mist on Mayfair
I hope I meet Monie Love so she can show me love
NYC to UK I might stay there
Everybody in the club tonight say, “Yeah”
You know how me and Amy are, straight players

[Outro]
Ohh, ohh, ooooohh, ohh



Some of these seem like they were written after her passing... This should be a single imo, it's absolutely brilliant.

I love the song! It's always great to hear Amy's voice :heart:

[YouShouldBeStrongerThanMe]

oh god i miss her

[Mama_Haze]

Thx. I didn't want to get in trouble posting a download link.

So long as it doesn't mess with copyright etc, download links are fine

I very much doubt that having a couple of downloads will stop anyone here buying the album xx

[York]

this is a beautiful song, a gift for all fans of Amy, mega thanks!

[Tara]

Wonderful!

[Cecilia]

I had tears in my eyes listening to this :'-(
I can't help but wonder what the song would've been like if Amy had finished it...

Nas' verses are new. I think they said hey added it on and it completely references current stuff. I wish she had completed more than the chorus.

[tselekoglu]

I love it! Great song but I wish Amy's parts would be more coz I don't like rap very much, actually. But it doesn't matter, I'm wondering the all album!

[HugoRockz]

Everything that Amy does, it's just magicial. I'm speechless and I love it...
