Old Interests Meet Internet ; Internet Meet Old Interests

I've been into sign language for a while. However I sort of stopped thinking about it and other interests have taken over. But thanks to my netflix free trial I found a reason to be more into it. I saw a movie called See What I'm Saying. It's an eye opening experience. Anyway in the course of looking up asl (american sign language) I saw something interesting. People preforming popular songs in asl. Usually it's hearing people learning about sign language who are using the songs to practice. You can tell because often the songs are signed word or word & asl has it's on grammatical structure different from english. A structure that can get really confusing after awhile. Some videos are hearing or hard of hearing people who are making videos for deaf people.

These were the ones I really liked so far.
Fuck You - This was the first one I saw

Tik Tok - I like this one because it shows the sign language short hand or how she signed it.


Scream-I love the attempt at making an actual music video..also scream is one of my favorite songs of all time.


I'm working on my own type so I an learn more words. It will be word for word seeing as I know nothing about the grammer. WSSU has a deaf department maybe I can get my dad to pay for a class.

Anyway I want to do this song. I mean I know rap songs are hard because of the pace but I want to try


Here are the lyrics...
I got this money, baby.
I wanna spend it on you.
I got this Sunday, baby.
I wanna spend it with you.

We can do what you like.
I promise that I'll be true.
I got this money, baby.
I wanna spend it on you.
Oh.

I don't really know where to go, don't know where to hide.
Everywhere that I go, you'll be right by my side.
You're the only girl that I have ever dreamed of.
I wanna tell you everything but everything just seems dumb.

I kinda like you girl.
I really wanna dress you up.
I wanna buy you for real.

I kinda like you girl.
I really wanna feel you up.
I wanna feel you for real.

I got this money, baby.
I wanna spend it on you.
I got this Sunday, baby.
I wanna spend it with you.

We can do what you like.
I promise that I'll be true.
I got this money, baby.
I wanna spend it on you.
Oh.

I got an upstairs, downstairs in my loft
Check the mixtape baby, I don't talk.
Yes, I run this shit like it's hard to walk.
And you think that I'm dope like I'm ???
I'm recession proof, I work to relax, ho.
Weird voice, catch beef like a lasso.
New Fresh Prince, you can chill in my castle.
Spit real shit so I must be an asshole.
Right? Nah.
That's why I'm makin' out in your car.
These vlogs are a dudes A&R.
Got a big tip for these girls at the bar.
And I don't mean money.
Ever since the money, yeah, they treat me funny.
Girls look good, you can take green from me.
Ain't trippin' if ya got it, know what I mean, honey?

You got your yellow sundress on.
I'm tryin' to right you the best song.
With your wayfarer shades, you drive me insane.
I wanna hold hands and call you pet names.

I kinda like you girl.
I really wanna dress you up.
I wanna buy you for real.

I kinda like you girl.
I really wanna feel you up.
I wanna feel you for real.

I got this money, baby.
I wanna spend it on you.
I got this Sunday, baby.
I wanna spend it with you.

We can do what you like.
I promise that I'll be true.
I got this money, baby.
I wanna spend it on you.
Oh.
