Adult Swim Collection - J Dilla - Nothing Like This

|

James Yancey aka Jay Dee/J Dilla was a Detroit native and musical prodigy. He started collecting vinyl at the age of 2 and learned to play almost a dozen instruments. In his extensive career, he worked with Busta Rhymes, Common, Madlib, De La Soul, The Roots, etc..basically everybody with any talent in hip-hop. He suffered from lupus and a rare blood disease and continued to perform in a wheelchair as his health declined, showing his true passion for his art. He passed away shortly after his 32nd birthday in 2006 but his legacy continues and will go on for years to come. "Nothing Like This" is one of my all-time favorite songs and I was so excited to hear it on Adult Swim years ago. I hope you enjoy it :D







[singing]
All I need in, my, life is
There, is, no-thing like this
I never felt, quite, like this
All I need in, my, life is
There, is, no-thing like this
I never felt, quite, like this
All I need in, my, life is
There, is, no-thing like this

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh! Uh uhh

[singing]
Incomplete when, you're, away
You turn my, nights, into days
You show me, the, light uh-huh
Gotta, have, you, right away
I never felt, quite, like this
All I need in, my, life is
There, is, no-thing like this
I never felt, quite, like this

Feels good! Ohhhhhhhhh
Yeahhhhhhhhhhh

[singing]
You, breathe, life, in-to meeeEeEeEeEe
Fo' life in, I'm, in, too deep
I'm, ad-dic-ted, uh-huh
Something tells, me, you're the one (YEAH!)
I never felt, quite, like this
All I need in, my, life is
There, is, no-thing like this
I never felt, quite, like this
All I need in, my, life is
There, is, no-thing like this
I never felt, quite, like this
