Those were the days
I miss the good old days in a way it was hard but the other hand it was easier …. We were young,wild and free and lived everyday to the max without caring about anything just pure fun …. It’s just weird that 2 of the friends i started dancing / making music and all aren’t here anymore … My homie Steven, r.i.p dear brother i remember when i started as a dancer, performing together during school camp, parties and all … Just started dancing relax on the beat of King Bee and all till some guys started to challenge us … Looking at each other and with a simple nod we both knew what we were thinking … "it’s on!". Back to back, side by side taking on anyone calling us and there i laid the base of my dancing moves . As time passed by got into different dance groups, doing demo’s , performances … i’ll always love dancing. But the game got harder as the years went by you couldn’t get into a club just chilling without some people challenging. I have always find it stupid just to show off what people can do challenging one and other. I love dancing for what it is a way to express myself not to be in the spot lights heck i hate being in the spotlights. But yet again people shoving me in front to give a show , i don’t think so. Unless a friend of mine got challenged oh yeah then it is on, they say asians can’t dance? ,,You’ll get served". I have to admit though standing in a middle of a circle with people yelling you name and Go Go Go Go! that gives a certain rush like nothing you can describe. Besides that i started to rap as a teenager it was a way of expressing yourself and to represent the group. It’s funny that till today people remember the lyrics i made some performances and all that i even forgot. Then i met Bennie one day r.i.p dear brother and we got more serious with a new producer a new sound, different gigs. It was a hell of a time i tell you it will always be a part of me from dancer to rapper and performing with back ground dancers. Lights, a crowd the whole nine yards and not for the money but for fun. It is a shame that the video’s got lost but who knows maybe one day they will turn up again that would be great seeing it back again. It is such a shame that he had to pass away at such a young age. You see you may have the talent but you see my homie Bennie he was driven like no one else i knew. We both went seperate ways in making music we both had different thoughts of making music. He was more and more getting focussed on making it in the dutch rap scene. And me i got more and more into singing r&b, soul and all just for fun or for certain occasions. As i said standing in the spotlights ain’t my thing i love singing and dancing for fun, to entertain people and all but Bennie ,he loved it. And why not he had the drive, the looks, the skills and all to make it to the big shows. I bet that if he was still alive he would be well known and that’s why it’s such an extra loss that he is not here. But with some gigs he asked me to perform with him or make music together and it is a shame that we didn’t get to do that anymore. But all of those sweet memories with both of them no one can take that away from me and i hope one day i can honour them by having performances with a tribute to them. But for everytime i dance and sing i do it from the heart to represent my 2 homies and i know somewhere up there they are looking down and smiling one me. Even know you’re gone i will still rock in memories of my 2 fallen friends … Till the day we meet again in my heart is where i keep you my friends ….
