Does anyone know what this song is?

Asked by generalspecific (1874points) August 9th, 2009

I tried googling it and only found a bunch of crap rap songs. It’s an oldish bluesy sounding song. There’s a black guy singing and some of the lyrics are:
I sell dope, get high too!
oh, it ain’t good, it ain’t good

That’s all I remember.. I know it’s not specific but google has failed me so I thought I’d give it a try.

do you have the song in hand?
Try to listen to it again…you might have the lyrics wrong.

find a friend with an iphone that has the app for taking in sound and telling you what song it is.

Nope I heard it on a local radio station about a month ago and I still keep thinking about it.
but I put the lyrics in my phone as soon as I heard it so they should be right.

Try to listen to a marvin gaye song….see if that sounds like the guy that sings that song…

@random, there is a PC based app that will do that, too. I’ll try to find it.

Nah definitely not Marvin Gaye, it was a pretty deep gruff-ish voice.

Some months ago i heard of this website where you can hum/sing your desired song and they’ld come up with it (apparently).
Don’t remember the name of the site, though. Sorry.

@cyndihugs nope definitely not that. It’s a blues/soulish song.

@rebbel that’s awesome I’m gonna try to find it..

If you’ve found a rap song with those exact lyrics, they may have sampled the song you are looking for, so you might want to see if you can learn more about that rap song and find the credits.
