Lyrics, Somehow Someway

Somehow someway, somehow someway

One day, yeah

 

I told her you can make it baby somehow someway

With that body you should be on the runway

But if you don’t make it then its ok 

We can get high and just dance like soul play

You're always playing songs like you know trey

And in the bed you cut it like OJ

Then you just chill with a sig and some OJ

Man it’s so great

 

She yellow like that song by cold play

See but still gangster like Z dot and Nolay

When I’m with her nuff head rotate

But no one can approach coz they know that I’m known for it

She saying that I’m so bait, nuff chicks on the FB 

Half of them really wana f me she ain the only one that wants a piece of the ST                

 

Now we gonna make it baby somehow someway

even if you ain my lady somehow someway

One day,

Coz right now I’m thinking bout you Monday to Sunday

Coz right now I’m thinking bout you Monday to Sunday

 

Yeah we’ve been tight from them school days

She always use to act in them school plays 

Like some young Halley Berry

One day I’d like to put a bump in her belly… you know, start a family

If we don’t end up together it would be a tragedy 

Some real boy meets girl stuff

Some me and her against the world stuff

 

She the ride or die wifey type 

I ain't saying that this things for life

I’m just saying that its feeling right 

I’m just saying that you're looking nice 

Now let me slip up in between your thighs 

We can do it over and over again 

Hear you on the phone to your friend

Saying how I’m so great

It will all be okay

And we gonna make it baby somehow someway

 

Yeah we gonna make it baby somehow someway 

Even if you ain my lady somehow someway

One day

Coz right not im thinking bout you monday to sunday

Coz right not im thinking bout you monday to sunday

Generic codes and conventions of hip-hop

Generic codes of hip-hop

• Interactions with other models who will be playing the part of the lover such as: touching holding, deep stares into their eyes and common generic symbolic codes is when a male/female holds their partners chin and gazes into their eyes as an example.
• Wide variety of two shots can be used to show the two people (Boy and Girl) together (highlights romanticism that couples share)
• Tracking shots and performance shots of the artist towards their “lover” in the video is also generic and will convey their relationship to higher gravity, virtue and significance symbolic codes.

Generic conventions

• Clothing will range from the stereotypical attire for the main hip-hop artist, his spouse in the video in order to fit into the conventions of the genre appropriately and aim to our main target audience well. However the costumes will also have a sense of casualness to them that can illustrate a less intimidating and more sophisticated/laid back feeling to the performers and the video on a whole, which will be useful to subverting the conventions because of the romantic tone that the video will possess.
• Dark colours are often used to portray negative feelings of the artist (through the hip-hop genre and somewhat stereotypical portrayal of the artist from a Marxist perspective)
• Items of the Mise-en-scene such as rings, bangles and necklaces /expensive jewellery are all generic for an hip-hop.
