D.J. Rock 90's Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just to do her hair now
Because she cares ya'll
Her day just wouldn't be right
Without her make up
Never out of make up
But she's homeless, she's homeless
As she stands there singing for money
As she stands there singing for money
As she stands there singing for money
In my sleep I see her begging
Preaching, please
Although her body's not mine
I ask now why, god oh why?
She's just like you and me
But she's homeless, she's homeless
As she stands there singing for money
As she stands there singing for money
As she stands there singing for money
She's homeless, she's homeless
As she stands there singing for money
The lyrics to D.J. Rock 90's's song "Gypsy Woman" tell the story of a homeless woman who wakes up every morning to do her hair and make-up because it is important to her. She is just like everyone else, but is homeless and relies on singing for money to survive. The singer sees her in his sleep, and is moved by her begging and preaching. He questions why she is homeless and wonders where God is in her situation. The repetition of the phrase "As she stands there singing for money" emphasizes the fact that this homeless woman's only way of making money is through singing.
This song is a reflection of the struggles faced by homeless people in society. Despite their circumstances, they have the same needs and desires as everyone else. The mention of make-up and hair is a reminder that homeless people should not be reduced to stereotypes, and that they still have a sense of pride and self-care. The singer's empathy towards the homeless woman is a call to action for society to show compassion and support towards those in need.

This song takes me back...
To the year 1991...
Doing the MONZA dance...
Emandondweni...
Mlokothwa High School...
KwaNongoma, KZN, RSA...
Still a phat jam "Na Nou"...
Not everything was great back then...
But the music was...
Salute to the class of 1992...
And my Principal - Dee Dee (RIP)

It sounds deep but it's inaccurate. Most homeless are mean snakes even when you try to help them. That's how it is here in CA. Maybe it's different elsewhere.
