Floetry - I Want You (Yoruba Soul Remix)
I never really messed with Floetry, I always thought they were boring as hell. I felt like they had talent, but they seemed like part of the 2nd/3rd tier of the whole “neo-soul” boom. The people that came after the Soulquarians that were like neo-soul-lite. Unfortunately for me and my feelings those 2nd/3rd tier artist ended up selling better. But in keeping my no hate clause for this blog I will stop with my thoughts on those artists right here.
I first heard this song on a deep house mix from the old Digital Dj’s site. (I can’t find that exact mix on this directory, but check out their other mixes here) When I heard the song I had absolutely no clue who was singing so immediately I was shocked that it was Floetry. Osunlade is responsible for this remix and if you don’t know him look for him because he is a beast, his mix cd “Re-Offering” is a favorite of mine and I can probably credit it for my current love for deep house. Shout outs to Darryl at Moods Music, the best damn independent music store in Atlanta. Unfortunately, this song was NEVER released. It was only sent out as a white label to I guess DJ’s in the know. Too bad my ass is not in the mix like that. This is an actually a radio rip that i toyed with.
Lastly, I love songs called “I Want You” as you can see from earlier. I have a couple more that will be posted later on.
Enjoy.
[Intro:]
Baby, I’ve made me decision.
It’s you.
You’re the one.
There’s nothing else that needs to happen.
I Want U.
I Want U.
[Verse 1:]
Baby, Baby,
I’m excited.
That you’re here,
You’re invited.
Into me,
Take it slowly.
But take it baby.
Take Me.
I’ve come to my realization,
I’m ready.
Full compromise,
It’s cool with me.
Now you can go through,
What you need to go through.
Because I Want U.
Baby, I Want U.
[Hook:]
You.
I Want U.
I Want U.
I Want U.
I Want U.
[Verse 2:]
Baby, Baby,
I’m on fire.
Your caress,
Takes me higher.
I can’t control it,
Can’t keep quiet,
And I don’t want to,
Make me louder.
Make me baby,
I’m here.
I’m ready for anything.
What’s your call?
I’m your solider.
Your lover.
Your child’s mother.
And I Want U.
[Hook:]
[Bridge:]
There’s more out here,
Than just what you know baby.
And I Want U.
You know how to be a man,
But there’s a whole additional mindset.
And I Want U.
I’m a manifestation of the Divine Mother.
You’re a manifestation of the Divine Father.
We are two in the same.
So can you say my name?
I Want U.
[Hook:]
[Outro:]
It’s time baby.
It’s time for you to listen,
To the things you don’t understand.
I know you,
You wanna be a man.
I know you,
You are a God Man.
Then listen to me baby.
I have the answers to the questions you’re asking me baby.
Do you know that you don’t know?
Then let me show you.
If you could hear me.
This is more than just what you’ve learnt.
You need to be a master now.
Let’s apply it.
Let’s apply it.
Listen baby.
Just “Be” it.
No more talk.
Just “Be” it.
Be responsible.
I am who I say I am.
