If you would please turn with me to track 11 on nostalgia titled Boys Don't Cry by Rodarius Wave.
And turn with me to verse one.
I'll let you get there.
All right.
And it reads,
Torba sliding in the rain.
Headed out of state.
So much going through my brain.
I can barely think.
sometimes I get my own
I'm my fault I can't read
sometimes I get on my own
and wonder out of space
I love you
but I'm full of rage
our past is full of pain
on the planet of my own
living like an alien
think it's safe to say
that I'll never
be the same again
now is that Beethoven a raw wave
I can't tell.
I can't tell.
I can't tell.
The way you can read broadwave lyrics and then listen to the track and it has the same effect
has to be studied in colleges at collegiate institutions,
at the most prestigious academic establishments that you can find.
I don't know if I've ever had this many read-alongs,
besides Drake, of course, because he's the goat.
Let me not even, you know what I'm saying?
Let's not do that.
As far as Rod Wave and his peers,
this man is leaps and bounds above every single artist
when it comes to lyrics, meaningful lyrics,
that correlates with his actual life.
Now, I know what you're saying.
well my favorite artist kills people on the on the on the regular right just because your favorite artist kills people on the regular i will excuse him for not putting his real life into the music right because then you end up like young thug anyways rod wave getting back to rodarius right boys don't cry track eleven on nostalgia it's one of those type of tracks where reading and get off it comes off a
certain way, listening to it is a whole other beast because this man can actually sing.
Now, there's a term I like to use for people who can sing or for people who can't sing,
but they attempt to sing.
Trippy Red is one of the biggest qualifiers for this, right?
I call this, well, I got this phrase from somewhere about I don't remember.
Basically, the phrase is crooning.
And from that point on, when I've very,
realize that's the word we're using to excuse these non- singers but actually trying to sing
we're just going to call it crooning this man rod wave sings like you know the outdated
phrase it ain't over to the big lady sing well with all due respect rod wave is the male
version of that so with that being said click my link shoot in my bio let me know on one of my
