Student's Corner {#1}: "How to Love" - Lil' Wayne

"I really liked the new rap song by Lil' Wayne. The song is called "How to Love". I found it very interesting, because this music clip explains how difficult was with his parents.

The clip begins with Lil' Wayne's mother about to have an abortion, but she changed her mind and fled. Lil' Wayne's beat his mother up, she would fight back and Lil' Wayne would watch it all when he was only 2 years old.

Lil' Wayne decided to make this clip because he wanted to share his pain."

by Felipe Paz (Wise Up Teens Student)

Lil Wayne - How To Love

You had a lot of crooks tryna steal your heart
Never really had luck, couldn't never figure out
How to love
How to love

You had a lot of moments that didn't last forever
Now you in the corner tryna put it together
How to love
How to love

For a second you were here
Why you over there?
Its hard not to stare, the way you moving your body
Like you never had a love
Never had a love

When you was just a young'un your looks was so precious
But now your grown up
So fly its like a blessing but you can't
have a man look at you for 5 seconds
Without you being insecure
You never credit yourself so when you got older
It's seems like you came back 10 times over
Now you're sitting here in this damn corner
Looking through all your thoughts and looking over your shoulder

See you had a lot of crooks tryna steal your heart
Never really had luck, couldn't never figure out
How to love
How to love

See you had a lot of moments that didn't last forever
Now you in the corner tryna put it together
How to love
How to love

For a second you were here
Why you over there?
Its hard not to stare the way you moving your body
Like you never had a love
Had a love

You had a lot of dreams that transform to visions
The fact that you saw the world affected all your decisions
But it wasn't your fault
Wasn't in your intentions
To be the one here talking to me
Be the one listening
But I admire your poppin bottles and dippin'
Just as much as you admire bartending and stripping
Baby, so don't be mad
Nobody else trippin
You see a lot of crooks and the crooks still crook

See You had a lot of crooks tryna steal your heart
Never really had luck, couldn't never figure out
How to love
How to love

See you had a lot of moments that didn't last forever
Now you in the corner tryna put it together
How to love
How to love

Oooh,
See I just want you to know
That you deserve the best
You're beautiful
You're beautiful
Yeah

And I want you to know, you're far from the usual
Far from the usual

You see you had a lot of crooks tryna steal your heart
Never really had luck, couldn't never figure out
How to love
How to love

See you had a lot of moments that didn't last forever
Now you in the corner tryna put it together
How to love
How to love

See you had a lot of crooks tryna steal your heart
Never really had luck, couldn't never figure out
How to love
How to love

See you had a lot of moments that didn't last forever
Now you in the corner tryna put it together
How to love
How to love

Quer que o professor repita - "Can you repeat that, please?"

Quer saber como dizer alguma frase ou palavra em Inglês - "How can I say ________ in English?"

Quer saber o significado de alguma palavra ou expressão - "What's the meaning of ______?" ou "What does _________ mean?"

Quer avisar que acabou o dever - "I've finished the exercise"
