Dear Old Amy

Last week....ugh.

It was a rough one. I really wanted to kick Amy Winehouse's ass. Real Talk. I almost wrote her an open letter, man. Like, how could this broad just leave me at a time like this? I'm having the most intense fucking existential crisis of my life and where the fuck are you, Winehouse? I was in terrible need of some Amy in my life as I was definitely going through the blues and only she could soothe my pain. I needed new shit. Old Amy shit wasnt cutting it.

But then Pandora saved her ass.

I thought I knew every Winehouse record, but apparently I dont because this came on and it was as if we had some telepathic shit going on. It was like she was responding to all my shit talking about her about isolating me, and at the same time, giving me the hard lecture I needed to hear ..

Like.....

"I can't help ya if you won't help yourself

 I can't help ya if you don't help yourself
 You can only get so much from someone yeah
 You can get so much from me
 I can't help ya if you won't help yourself"




Bitch is right.

I'm buggin.


I love her.
Lyrics:
When I walk in your shoes
I understand a man confused
There must have been but I don't care
I feel the way your soul does there
Darling they empathise
Looking through your bloodshot eyes
And I know you you're so frustrated
Above we all become what we once hated
Be slight nobody can be that wise

You've got a degree a in philosophy
So you think you're cleverer than me
But I'm not just some drama queen
Cos it's where you're at not where you've been
So what do you expect from me
To hold your head above the sea
And there are you even though you're bigger
Cos don't you know you crush my tiny figure
And anyway we're still so young
and this isn't yet the day

I can't help ya if you won't help yourself
I can't help ya if you don't help yourself
You can only get so much from someone yeah
I can't help ya if you won't help yourself

You might be twenty-five but in my mind
I see you at sixteen years or most of the time
And I'm just a child and you're full grown
And no I'm nothing like I've ever known yeah
I'm nothing like I've ever known
