If You See Me...

"If you See Me"

First Verse
If you see me walking down the street one day,
Don't say nothing to me...No No Nothing
Cuz you did me wrong, while I was doing bad,
So bad I didn't think, I was going to make it

Now although I'm feeling free,
Freer than the butterfly, flying high now (ya ya baby)
I don't feel no riches, any different though
But I'm doing better on my own

Chorus,
If you see me, walk on by
Don't say n-n-nothing,  walk on by
Do yourself a favor, walk on by
Don't say n-n-nothing,  just walk on by

This song was written and produced in 1975 by a group called 94 East. It was a group Prince belonged to before launching his solo career. My wife purchased the 94 East CD during the summer in the mid 90s while exploring a retro music store looking for something different. When she returned to school that fall, we listened to the 2 disc album on repeat and this song was the one that stuck with us for years to come.

The past couple days, I've had a situation where a guy seems to really be hellbent on getting a rise out of me. He's ruffling feathers so to speak. I've kept my cool, but I needed to pen some things so that I can move on.

I've never really been a petty person. And I refuse to be petty on the social medium that he and I share. But dammit, it's hard to NEVER respond to things that bother you. So this is my attempt at being petty knowing this blog is one of millions in the nether-regions of this thing called the internet.

Don't be upset if we are in the same place and I don't acknowledge you walking towards me. I don't know why you care about this issue. It doesn't involve you or your quad. We've stayed away from you and your quad at your request. But for some reason, you're all up in my shit and feel the need to be judge, jury and executioner of all things 'me'? I can't be any clearer to you when I say stay in your lane. Trust me when I say I will stay in mine!

"I don't feel no pain, it doesn't hurt inside
 and I'm doing better, on my own"   94 East
