And as for me and neighbourhood friends,we use to sing,"you see miss Mary bam bam"as soon as the adults were out of earshot, especially when we went to gather mangoes.

I didn’t really know who he was, so I called my mom and she went crazy I had to go pick her up so she can see him and I was amazed at how my mom was enjoying herself.. I started listening to his music on my own and fell in love with it.. some things I didn’t understand so I would ask my mom what it meant and she’ll explain it.. now I’ll listen to him when I’m showering especially when I’m cleaning it motivates me to clean more lol
