Sylvia Robinson.Sweet Stuff [SoulTrain.1976] by capitainfunkk
In the 1950′s, She was one half of the chart-topping group, Mickey & Sylvia. Then in her solo career as Sylvia, she shared mood altering performances like the one pictured above. As the 1970′s drew to a close, she became known as a pioneering music industry executive and independent record label owner. She’s referred to as the mother of hip hop. This is because Ms. Sylvia Robinson gave birth to mainstream hip hop. Ms. Robinson, along with her husband Joe Robinson and their son, was responsible for pushing rap music and hip hop culture into the mainstream through their record label, Sugar Hill Records. She revealed rap music to the masses when “Rapper’s Delight” was performed by her artists, The Sugarhill Gang, reached #4 on the R&B music charts. Later she signed Grandmaster Flash whose 1982 street reality themed single, “The Message”, was coincidentally the first hip hop song that I ever learned as a tot. Sylvia, we’re sending prayers to your family and wishing you well on your homegoing. Thank you for your huge contributions to the music world as the mother of hip hop.

The line existing’s not that thin
Even if it seems invisible
Good intentions pave the way
Hell on earth can be man-made
And hotter than an everglade
Golden rule applies
And capitalizes with interest
When they su su pon you
When they’re spittin in your face
When the odds come up against you
At every hour of the day
Believe in yourself
And never ever ever ever give up
Or give in
God knows whats true
And lives inside of you
All the broken people
Should have a chance to try again
Even if it seems impossible
Nothing ventured nothing gained
Hope is like the ocean sand
Slippin’ from your hands in the rain
Beauty’s in your eye
And I and I will protect you from them
when they su su pon you
when they’re spittin in your face
when the odds come up against you
at every hour of the day
Believe in yourself
And never ever ever give up or give in
I and I will see you through
When your vision is filled with tears
When you’re working for your due
And you just cant seem to get no where
Close your eyes and meditate
Make life your song
When they su su pon you
When they’re spittin in your face
When the odds come up against you
At every hour of the day
Believe in yourself
And never ever ever ever give up
Or give in
God knows what’s true
And lives inside of you
All the broken people
Should have a chance to try again
Even if it seems impossible
Nothing ventured nothing gained
Hope is like the ocean sand
Slippin’ from your hands in the rain
Beauty’s in your eye
And I and I will protect you from them
When they su su pon you
When they’re spittin in your face
When the odds come up against you
At every hour of the day
Believe in yourself
And never ever ever ever give up
Or give in
God knows what’s true
And lives inside of you

So Sweet [Sample]
(I know it’s you and me baby)
You look so sweet
Do ya taste like candy
I wanna try you
I wanna try you
In my dreams
welcome to the next phase
I adore you
Where I adore you
Where I stand
I;m trying just to level up
I’m on my last man
and I cant cheat
Life’s so hard
Each day I’m without your love
Cause you got that good stuff
You look so sweet
Do ya taste like candy
I wanna try you
I wanna try you
In my dreams
welcome to the next phase
I adore you
Where I adore you
Pick an hand
To hold and walk with me alone
Even though you’ve got me by my heart
Don’t let go
You’re about to see my soul
What you know about that good love?
You look so sweet
Do ya taste like candy
I wanna try you
I wanna try you
In my dreams
welcome to the next phase
I adore you
Where I adore you
You look so sweet
Do ya taste like candy
I wanna try you
I wanna try you
In my dreams
welcome to the next phase
I adore you
Where I adore you
Wake up my earth
You been sleeping too long
Stay up and break it down
Til the brink of dawn
Boost up our energy and take me
With all you’ve got
Come and take me
You look so sweet
Do ya taste like candy
I wanna try you
I wanna try you
In my dreams
welcome to the next phase
I adore you
Where I adore you

Cooling out with my baby
Gettin it on
Gettin it in
How we like to do
Move like a roller coaster
So exciting
I like the way he turns me like the world
Through the stars we fly
Baby, will you get me high
I can’t help
The fact I always want more
Yeah you come through
You provide
Deep relaxation
For one and the same
For my body and my mind
Can’t nobody
Teach the way you do me right
Cant nobody
Can’t nobody
scat ad libs
I love my baby
and my baby loves me
I love my baby
and my baby loves me
Layin out with my baby
Gettin it on
Gettin it in
We stay in the mood
Retro Rocketing
Your tick tocking
my slow motion
I like the way he turns me like the world
Through the stars we fly
Baby, will you get me high
I can’t help
The fact I always want more
Yeah you come through
You provide
Deep relaxation
For one and the same
For my body and for my mind
I know that
Can’t nobody
Teach the way you do me right
Cant nobody
Can’t nobody
I love my baby
and my baby loves me
I love my baby
and my baby loves me

You were once my fantasy
Straight up
Out my dreams
Too good to be true
I don’t know
But we can do it anywhere
Time or place
Don’t really care
I’ll play dumb for you
In this moment cause you’re here
Don’t go
We can do it anywhere
I wanna do it everywhere
Come in and close the door
I’m feening for more
More of what you started
Oh yeah, yeah yeah
I’ll show you real good loving
(Love)
Give you everything you need
Head to toe kisses
Your candy
So sweet
I wanna taste you all night long
But we can do it anywhere
Time or place don’t really care
Will you hold me close
In the moment and when it’s done
We can do it anywhere
I wanna do it everywhere
Come in and close the door
I’m feening for more
More of what you started
I confess I’m addicted
to your love
to your love
and what you started
