As a youngin, around 12, I went down to Guyana after my gramps died and ended up being the only kid in my immediate fam to not only make it down there so far but also to see my grandma b4 she passed. The trip was crazy. Being in the third world put my privilege in true perspective. To start, I didnt eat anything cept cheese poofs for 4 days until i found a Chinese joint as i mentioned in my post Asian-Latinos. But in the mind of my Caribbean roots, when i went down there i came back with some serious soca slaps, that serious Bryon Lee n the Dragonaires.
In the same light, since then i have had a love for carribean music, soca reggae, all that heat. it is in that vain that i share this nice bob poem on How To Love a Woman. If know know me, you know im all about the love when it comes to women. They are the best, dey da dey da best…. (only cause the Drake vid just dropped i wont post it cause everyone is, if u havent seen it ur not hip enough to dip).
I let my dreads Bang to let them know I am a lion. Damn… this image just makes me wanna get back… BOB is killing the game.. so icey…
“You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She’s not perfect – you aren’t either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break – her heart. So don’t hurt her, don’t change her, don’t analyze and don’t expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she’s not there.”
-Bob Marley
