Lyrics

Introspective

[Intro]

I like to welcome everybody to the LP, One Day It'll All Make Sense, by me. What I want to do to you... nah, really it's for you, is open my mental window, hoping that you would climb in, or if not, at least look in. I want to take you to places that I have been and to the places that I want to go. I mean this music, it ain't all that I got, but it does mean a lot to me, I injected my whole being into it, and I've been doing it for a while, it's like my whole life has become a style. I want to get into it... yeah

Why Street Kings is worth a look for Keanu Reeves fans beyond John Wick

Why Street Kings is worth a look for Keanu Reeves fans beyond John Wick

David Ayer’s 2008 crime thriller gives Keanu Reeves a deliberately unheroic role: a grieving LAPD detective whose methods are part of the problem.
