Professor commented about a videos relying on special effects. here is one that has minimally special effects but still gets the story across. The artist is telling the story from 2 different perspective using almost the same lyrics for both with just a little change.
He weaves the story through the video and the words.
Let me know what you think
Chorus I can’t, I won’t, I can’t, I won’t let you leave I don’t know what you want, you want, want from me Verse 1 (Mother’s Perspective) Ugh, she said to him I want you to be a father He’s your little boy, and you don’t even bother Like, brother without the aura and he’s starting to harbor Cool on food for though but for you, he’s a starver Starting to use red markers on his work His teachers said they know he’s much smarter But he’s hurt, used to hand his homework in first Like he was the classroom starter Burt in tears, let him know she serious (serious) Now he’s fighting in class, got a note last week That say he might not pass Ask me if his daddy was sick of us ‘Cause you ain’t never pick him up You see what his problem is Is he don’t know where his papa is No positive male role model To play football and build railroad models It’s making a hole and you’ve been digging it Cause you ain’t been kicking it Since he was old enough to hold bottles He wasn’t supposed to get introduced to that He don’t deserve to get used to that Now I ain’t asking you for money or to come back to me Some days it ain’t sunny but it ain’t so hard Just breaks my heart, when I try to provide And he say, “mommy that ain’t your job.” To be a man, I try to make him understand That I’m his number one fan But it’s like you born from the stance You know the world is out to get him So why don’t you give him a chance It’s like… Chorus Verse 2 (Son’s Perspective) Ugh, so he said to him I want you to be a father I’m your little boy, and you don’t even bother Like, brother without the aura and I’m starting to harbor Cool on food for though but for you, I’m a starver Starting to use red markers on my work My teachers say they know I’m much smarter But I’m hurt; I used to hand my homework in first Like I was the classroom starter Burt in tears let him know he’s serious (serious) Now I’m fighting in class, got a note last week That say I might not pass Kids ask me if my daddy is sick of us ‘Cause you ain’t never pick me up You see what my problem is That I don’t know where my papa is No positive mail role model To play football and build railroad models It’s making a hole and you’ve been digging it Cause you ain’t been kicking it Since I was old enough to hold bottles Wasn’t supposed to get introduced to that I don’t deserve to get used to that Now I ain’t asking you for money or to come back to me. Some days it ain’t sunny but it ain’t so hard Just breaks my heart, when my momma try to provide And I tell her, “That ain’t your job.” To be a man, she try to make me understand That she’s my number one fan But it’s like you born from the stance You know the world is out to get me So why don’t you give me a chance
