They won't let us do no shows in New York
They won't even let us fuckin talk
They say Lost Boyz be a gang
Nah man we just do our thing
Why we always in the cut sometime
Why we always sleep on bud sometime
While I turn my cat to the back
While I freestyle and rap
And watch them sharks that bite
Why god take me to Queens ville
Why them fuckin did what they did
I see B-Wild gettin down
Cocoa B, and J-Drama's in town
I rep-re-sent my crew
Spigg Nice, Freaky Tah and Pretty Lou
I represent South Jamaica what?
Me and my team we'll gettin ya gut
Stay trees with the fam all day
Write my name on the complex hallway
At my mans spot, where he be chillin at
Throw ya L's in the sky if you feelin that
My man got me in the bread right now
My mans got me in it write now

The lyrics of DJ Sammy's song "DJ Sammy" express frustration with the limitations that the mainstream entertainment industry imposes on the music of groups like Lost Boyz. The song opens with lines that highlight the struggles the group faces trying to perform in and be heard in New York City, arguably the birthplace of hip hop culture. The lyrics make it clear that Lost Boyz are not a gang, but creative artists that want to share their unique perspective with the world. The repeated questions of "why" throughout the song convey a sense of confusion and frustration at the obstacles in their way. The second verse expands on this sense of frustration, with the use of a range of rhetorical questions that challenge the listener to think about the role of creativity and the extent of cultural representation.
One interesting interpretation of the song is that it presents a challenge to the status quo of hip hop at the time it was created in 1997. The song's lyrics question the values and assumptions that dominate the mainstream music industry, which often prioritizes commercial interests at the expense of artistic freedom and authenticity. Another interesting factor is the song's use of different forms of expression, combining elements of rap and R&B to create a distinctive sound that highlights the group's creative range.

My friend took his life last Saturday. The funeral was yesterday. As you can imagine, there was a lot of crying. I feel guilty, like I was a bad friend who didn’t stop him. Now he’s in heaven. 😢😢
Jon you're all that I want
When you're lying here in our arms
I'm finding it hard to believe
We're in heaven
And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
You’re in heaven
Rest easy buddy. Until we meet again. ❤

That's why I have a very high standard when it comes to music. I've never been a fan of some of the new songs that doesn't have a nice melody, and doesn't even have a nice title.
