Big tuneeeee this was my shit back in the 9th grade. I remember being on lime wire coming across this song the night before a college tour. It was magical. I found this song along with some other r&b songs. A girl in my friend group had a crush on me and I was listening to this the whole ride to the college tour. Then at the college other schools were there and it so happened this girl and I who fooled around for a summer the year before was there. She was beautiful like beyond beautiful. Bumped into her and spent the day together with her and all the girls from my school were so mad and jealous. Every-time I hear this song it brings me back to the day of the tour and the night before lmao. Had to share this. Thanks for this CB which one !!!!!
