did you wrong

I was never really a Pretty Ricky fan, so I never bothered to familiarize myself with the names of the various members of the group. Ironically, I over played the CD that had their song “Grind” so that just shows that I appreciated their music, however, something happened this week to make me research the group.

While waiting for my ferry to leave from Charlotte Amalie on Friday my mp3 picked up 105 Jams just in time for me to catch the end of a tune that pricked at my heart. I hadn’t a clue who the singer was, or what the name of the song was but the conviction in the singers voice, the smooth tone and the wonder symphony of the melody made me take notice. I got a clue as to who the artist was when the singer mentioned “Without Pretty Ricky”. Anyhow the time to board the ferry came and I vowed to research the song as soon as I got to BVI waters.

My busy schedule did not allow me to and it slipped my mind, but I woke on Saturday morning humming the song and rushed right to my laptop. I tried to Google the line I recalled, but I guessed I didn’t remember it as well as I thought and soon realized that I was googling the wrong tune. I gave up and just went to youtube.com and googled “Pretty Ricky”, low and behold I saw something saying that Pleasure P left Pretty Ricky so I just googled Pleasure P and there was my song “Did you Wrong.”

Apparently the song is about a man who apparently cheated on his girlfriend and decides to fight for his relationship when it appears that his girlfriend followed his lead and cheated as well. So now he is saying: “You Know I Want Yall To Just Sit Back And Think For A Second You Know What I Mean There's A Lot Of Haters Out There Hatin On People Relationships And Stuff Dont Nobody Wanna See You Happy They Always Trynnatake Ya Joy Bring You Down(No No No No Noo)But You Gotta Be The One To Stick By Yo Mate And Say Ima Be With You No Matta What U Know What Im Sayin Fuck It I Did Wrong You Did Wrong Too You Know What Im Sayin We Gotta Put Up With Each Otha Shit The Easiest Thing To Do Is Leave Ya Dig Anyway Check Dis Out”

Off hand let me say that it is one the most beautiful songs that I’ve heard in 08 so what if I had to wait until the tenth month of the year for such a masterpiece to meet my ears. I fell in love with the song when I heard the words: “I Dont Wanna Loose This Relationship So We Gotta Stay Strong Dont Wanna Move On I Know You Sick And Tired Of The Fussin And Da Fightin And Da Cussin But I Love You And You Love Me Too.”

It was interesting to hear what Pleasure P said in his chorus and hook, especially since as far as most men are concerned it is fine for them to cheat but whenever the female does the same that’s the end. So its refreshing to hear a young man say: “I Did You Wrong, you Did Me Wrong, I Take You Back, You Take Me Back, Girl I Take You Back I Take You Back. No Matta What You Do, No Matta What You Say No Matta How Far You Go Dont Take Your Love Away Because, I Love You And Girl I Want You And Girl I Need You So Lets Just Work It Out”

He really poured his heart out into this song and maybe it was just a gimmick, and if that’s the case then—he did it well. I could go on yapping about this song, but I am going to paste the lyrics so you can see what he is saying.
