i'm loving timbaland's song - the way i are - the beat is amazing, but these lyrics just truly crack me up: "i ain't got no money/i ain't got no car to take you on a date/i can't even buy you flowers"
i mean really - setting the bar real low, the girl can have absolutely no expectations whatsoever. of course, the girl is totally fine, she doesn't mind the broke-ass-ness, she likes him just the way he is. now, i was initially like, right, of course the girl doesn't mind, we always seem to be taking the short end of the deal when it comes to guys.
but then i kept listening and had the realization that rap could solve all the problems in the world. this is what the guy says later: "your body ain't pamela anderson/it's a struggle just to get you in the caravan/but listen baby girl, before i let you lose a pound, i'll buy a bigger car/so listen baby girl, i love you just the way you are, the way you are"
ah, unconditional, blind love, expressed just so by the rapper d.o.e.
