When I first went away to school, my mother told me that she was driving and the song came on. She had to pull over off the road because she just began crying. Though not a song that would be in my catalogue, this song will always remind me of her. And to counteract the “Song For Mama,” post, this was the song that was supposed to play.

Well excuse me, take a few minutes to mellow out
Your boy Skillz back on the mic to tell about
The year 2011, who else gonna spit it to you?
And since you keep asking, I guess (I’m gonna give it to you)

The year started off with predictions galore
With birds falling out the sky and fish washing ashore
Great! What a way to start the race
Then Gucci Mane gets an ice cream cone tatted on his face
Thinking about a face tat? Reconsider
Ciara got played by Rihanna on twitter
Kim K proved she could hardly sing
And we got caught up in the madness of Charlie Sheen
(#Winning!)
If you didn’t hear, Rebecca Black’s best day of the week?
Worst song of the year
And the quake left the coast of Japan in ruins
Y’all watched the royal wedding
Like you actually knew ‘em!
