“I been doing this music thing for over 30 years now, consistently, always working on something, planning something, always having music on my mind,” Classified explains. “I went extra hard the last 12 months with this album to really put it all out there, dropping more content than I ever have before.”
“Today I wanna drop the last official video from my album Luke’s View, then after my tour in Nov, (and a couple remixes), I wanna take my first real break in 30 years of making music … i’ll still produce for other people, do shows here and there, but i wanna take a much needed break from making “Classified” songs, and always having a project on the go. I feel like i’ve had a 2 year plan for the last 25 years.. if that makes any sense ?”
“So here it is, the video for my song “I Don’t Wanna Lose”. I love what I do and have been blessed to be able to do this for my job for a long time, and working extra hard at it, having the support of my friends and family is the reason i got to where I am.”
“I never been the cocky type, but sometimes you gotta step back, look at your life, where you came from, where you been, who you touched and what you did, and accept those accolades.
And guess what.. sometimes the good guy wins. thank you to every fan who supported me, and in turn my family, my kids and my dreams.
Thank you. see you on tour!”
Lyrics:
Chorus
Do you really need me the way I need you
Do you really love me the way I love you..
Ayo, the markets all fucked up. Everybody house hunting
Wife’s on a health kick, I just wanna smoke something
Life got crazier all getting older,
My patience wore thin metabolism got slower
Physically I’m 44, Mentally 27
Sexually 23, sense of humour bout 11
Its funny how this game is so odd
When did rappers start getting botox and nose jobs
The hairline doesn’t wanna grow lately, ha
And the beard dye’s getting kind of low baby
I’m just trying to age with grace
but its hard saving face
When you spent 20 years blazing jays
life is catching up
They say it’s corny cause i never wear designer brands
I think it’s corny that you care about designer brands
I don’t do the fashion, I do the find your passion
Then its the time for action
Till you shining everlasting, I needed this
Chorus x3
The markets all fucked up, everybody job hunting
Couple years of covid, everybody lost something
Still tryin learn this, and understand more
How this vet keeps winning in a younger mans’ sport
They tried to tell me all press is good press, nah
I don’t see the perspective, I guess I just ain’t that desperate
or maybe me finding fame ain’t as important as my rep is
or maybe it’s cause my family’s just kept me level headed
I don’t know
But i wouldn’t change a thing, in my eyes
The way i did it made me one of the greatest of all time
I never changed, yeah
found success, yeah
I raised my kids and still got my wife’s respect, yup
I chose the home life,
And never got to caught up with the road life,
Still handled business though and made the best of both right
This game I won it but, it don’t mean nothing
Its the fact I actually loved it is why it still means something,
Man I needed this
