When life gives you lemons, make twerk-a-nade?...
Amidst all the unjustifiable drama, most recently being the uproar of the confederate flag fiasco, the ongoing killings of unarmed African American men, and all the other injustices taking place around the world, G.O.O.D artist Teyana Taylor has decided to relax your mind by offering up an alternative rendition to RnB singer Sam Cooke's powerful hit, "A Change Is Gonna Come."
The song, originally penned by the late great to address his own personal struggles, including an event in which Cooke was turned away from a "whites only" motel in Louisiana, has since been remixed by the raspy soul bearing diva to better relate to what appears the generation of today is more prone to grasp on to -- which in this case is a non-stopping, booty popping, shake what ya' mama gave ya' twerk fest!
In the short video you witness Teyana donning a cowboy hat while belting out Cooke's opening lyric, "I was born by the river..." As the songstress continues on with the tune she hesitates moving to the next verse before busting out into her own interpretation of the American Civil Rights anthem, giving fans what I assume is the 2015 version instead.
To better understand the remake of the newly updated song the lyrics went a little something like this..." I was borrrn by the river! The river. The riv...ri...ri...ri. I was born by the river I was shaking that @#s! Bend it over pop that p##sy I was shaking that @#s."
Welp, Juvenile would be proud. Check out the video for yourself below.
I guess finding out you have a sold out concert will make you do some strange thangs eh? Congrats T.!
