One of my favorite songs right now is I ain't Hearing You by Angie Stone. The first thing that pulls me in is the music. It's bouncy and 80's inspired. The 80's was a carefree time of life for me and this song makes me bounce around a bit--okay a lot. The music brings me in but the words are what keeps me interested.
Angie Stone has continued to do something that many people have never done, she is a lover and supporter of black men. The beginning of the song she says, I've got a good man, even though he ain't perfect, and that sets the tone for the song. Then you get to the chorus and she lets all of her friends know that instead of listening to what they are saying, she is going straight to the source and talk to her man. The reason this is important is because a lot of times outsiders have ulterior motives. The outsider may want you to get rid of your man so they can go after him or they want to get you away from him so that you have more time to dedicate to their sorry lives. Either way, this person is up to no good and Angie not only recognizes this she acts according to her beliefs which is that her man will straighten out any thing that may look like it is not right.
Simply put, she has chosen to put her trust in her man--her black man. Truthfully, that is what men want, they want a woman that will support them and treat them like they are worth a pot of gold. Get what you give is a great way of living life. If you put your trust and support into a person then that's what you will get back from them which means good love.
