Monica - Street Symphony

[@ceciliasumpter8658]

One of the most underrated Monica songs in my opinion.

[@pandorasbox6607]

Facts!

[@17thN.O]

My favorite song of Monica.

[@orientembo6943]

THE BEST

[@lynetteminute]

so much of her discography is. Her first 2 albums were the soundtrack of my childhood.

[@cutiepie5710]

This song puts me in a different place

[@rhcsw1682]

The lyrics in this song are so true. Trying to change someone that is not ready to change, all you can do is walk away.

[@MamaofaWrestler]

So true. Too bad it's taken me 15 years to realize that he just doesn't want to change and get clean.

[@rachellefebres4183]

Doesn’t always work like that. Not what she is talking about lol

[@mauriojohnson4887]

This is about C-Murder along with Ring Da Bell, Inside, I Keep It To Myself to name a few. The Boy Is Mine is a great song, but it stirred up rumors. The music industry did that on purpose to have them fighting over a man.

[@bettysmith8223]

Absolutely because I waited 5 years and he still chose the other females and the street

[@moniquedamodel]

@@MamaofaWrestlerhe killed him self

[@dreammakar]

Monica's vocals, the orchestra, the beat! This song was perfection from top to bottom!

[@meetyanabeelit6894]

As a kid it was always on repeat on of her breast hits that went unnoticed

[@meetyanabeelit6894]

Yessss one of her best

[@LucyShea81]

Hands down, best Monica song so far 🖤

[@CreatorCarly]

It really is! I hate how it didn’t and still doesn’t get the respect it deserves because this song AND video is just a masterpiece!

[@DaveTennisX3]

How on earth did this song not chart in the top ten when it was released? The beat alone is sick. Monica, Brandy and Aaliyah are the true queens of RnB.

[@MarcusDailyMedia]

DaveTennisX3 topped the charts in South Africa for a good part of 1998. Remained a fan request favourite throughout 1999 (along with All N' My Grill by Missy Elliot)

[@louiselouisahiggins9635]

And Ashanti

[@mztee413]

Yes the beat is sick. Thanks to Dallas Austin for the production.

[@blessed187]

[@edwinachinn5592]

I completely agree with you this song is an all time favorite Monica is truly legendary

[@jblank377]

Monica exudes elements of Whitney so much in this song. From her dress, looks, attitude and voice. and i know she's stated that dancing is not her area of forte lol. I love her!

[@jaimegiovanni1900]

Still resonates in 2024

[@malemadonna13]

Monica is so legendary! This younger generation don't know what they're missing out on.

[@Hiltonmanik]

i feel you on that one, this song takes me back

[@PoetTheXtra]

I totally agree. Great music and I loved that girls stayed classy and confident. I mean they didn't have to show off their bodies. Their talent was enough!😊

[@markojones334]

The best and most underrated Monica song of all time! 😍

[@mariodemeritte]

Me. Street Symphony is a timeless, classic, orchestral masterpiece. You've never in your life heared music with this level of artistry in your life. The best song from her in my opinion. ❤. The world played and slept on this song. Monica deserves so much more respect.

[@SharkyGTYT]

The 2000s era was just unmatched!!!!!

[@quinnmorgendorffer8435]

This song was so therapeutic at such a young age. Monica helped me through such a hard choice with this masterpiece. Went through this with my first love from age 4 and how we grew up most don't make it out. He got caught up with the wrong crowd and she told me to love myself more. That gave me the courage to walk away. Time passed we reconnected and he said that hard choice made him turn his life around. Today we're married and have a gorgeous child. He is such a great husband, dad and provider. 🥰

[@buildyourself1896]

Your first love from age 4? So at age 4 you had already attained a love so strong that it warrants this KZbin comment. Geez some of you write anything just for attention.

[@bettysmith8223]

Absolutely because I was waiting for 5 years on a man I was with but he kept chosing the street and street females I couldn't understand why because I was doing all I could for this man and he still wouldn't do right all I did was work and come home and be there for him when he needed me but when I needed him he was never there when I called he didn't answer he texts I had to realize for myself that this wasn't the person for me and I'm wasting myself in my life away waiting on somebody that's not going to change in our life is women we go through so much trying to please a man but now I'm trying to please I have learned if I'm not happy with myself I will let anybody run over me and do me any kind of way and that's not the life I wanted to and I'm here to let you know ladies that he's regretting it 100% but I won't have nothing to do with him because when you had this prize you didn't know how to accept it and keep it so I let that go with the past in the wind and it blew away it is you can see if I can smile on my face I am truly happy and blessed

This is one of my favorite Monica songs, this whole album was great but this track right here would play on repeat. The lyrics are something that’s still relevant today actually now that I’m thinking about it I’m surprised nobody has redone this song. Hope they don’t…it’s a masterpiece 🎶🎵

She talking about C Murder Master P brother. I remember when she put this single out regarding her struggles in her relationship with C murder so I assumed she really loved him.. I meet then both years ago at a li bro house when they was dating in Decatur GA. She was super skinny at the time I thought C murder could do but I was young a dumb. Monica couldn't change his mind set. Now look where C Murder at. That charge it to the game lyrics she song at the end was a shot and hint to who the song is reference lol they was both cool 😎
