Sweetest Girl. Ever.

Wyclef Jean is one of my favorite artists because his music varies. Not only is he an exceptional artist but he is also a humanitarian and has received many awards for his work to help Haiti. As stated in the blog about the hurricanes, yelehaiti is a website that he created and an organization dedicated to helping the island country. If you visit that site and click on the link that says photos you will see a picture of another famous star: Matt Damon. You may know Wyclef recent musical success with his single Sweetest Girl. Well do you know the actual meaning behind that song? Have you seen the heart wrenching video?

[Verse 1: Wyclef Jean]
High school she was that girl that make me do the hula hoop around the gym
(Just to get a peek again, she's a 10)
High school she was
That girl that make me do the hula hoop around the gym
(Just to get a peek again, she's a 10)
Never thought she would come and work for the president
Mr. George Washington (where my money at?)
She thought he'd call (where my money at?)
She had a good day, bad day, sunny day, rainy day
All she wanna know is (where my money at?)
Closed legs don't get fed, go out there and make my bread
All you wanna know is (where my money at?)
She ended up in a road car, bruised up, scarred hard
All you wanna know is (where my money at?)
She thought he'd call (where my money at?)

For this blog this song was the only one that I knew mostly anyone who is a true music lover would appreciate. Sometimes we are so into the beat and the repetition that we don't understand the meaning behind some of the songs we love the most. This was a song that I fell in love with before I even had a chance to listen to the lyrics or watch the video.
