She Said (The Pharcyde song)
"She Said" is a song by The Pharcyde featured on the group's second album Labcabincalifornia. The song contains two verses by Slimkid3 and Fatlip, Fatlip's verse in particular is highly regarded among fans and critics of the group for its conversational style delivery and easy flowing pace. Both verses address issues of love and relationships. Slimkid3 does his first verse in his trademark incorporation of both singing and rapping. He also sings the ending of the song.
The original music video for the song finds the group sky diving out of a plane to land on an island resembling Fantasy Island. Each member eventually finds their own woman on the island, while Tre and Fatlip rap about their experiences of love, be it Tre's explanation of desire or Fatlip's attempted pick up of a woman who doesn't want to make love with him. By the end of the video the plane the group arrived on leaves without them, leaving the four of them stranded.
Another video was made for the "She Said" remix (by Jay Dee). it uses footage of the group's visit to Amsterdam. The video, shown in black and white, features the group having fun, riding boats in Amsterdam's canals and smoking cannabis. The remix by Jay Dee (J-Dilla) includes a sample from the song "Sinnerman" by Nina Simone. The sample, which contains a second or two of heavy rhythmic breathing, can be heard during the opening of the song.

London, Ontario
London is a Canadian city located in Southwestern Ontario along the Quebec City–Windsor Corridor. The city has a population of 366,151 according to the 2011 Canadian census. London is at the confluence of the non-navigable Thames River, approximately halfway between Toronto, Ontario and Detroit, Michigan. The City of London is a separated municipality, politically separate from Middlesex County, though it remains the county seat.
London and the Thames were named in 1793 by Lord Simcoe, who proposed the site for the capital of Upper Canada. The first European settlement was between 1801 and 1804 by Peter Hagerman. The village was founded in 1826 and incorporated in 1855. Since then, London has grown to be the largest Southwestern Ontario municipality and Canada's 11th largest municipality, having annexed many of the smaller communities that surrounded it.
London is a regional centre of health care and education, being home to the University of Western Ontario, Fanshawe College, and several hospitals. The city hosts a number of musical and artistic exhibits and festivals, which contribute to its tourism industry, but its economic activity is centred on education, medical research, insurance, and information technology. London's university and hospitals are among its top ten employers. London lies at the junction of Highway 401 and 402, connecting it to Toronto, Windsor, and Sarnia. It also has an international airport, train and bus station.
Dickens' London
Charles Dickens' works are especially associated with London which is the setting for many of his novels. These works do not just use London as a backdrop but are about the city and its character.
Dickens described London as a Magic lantern, a popular entertainment of the Victorian era, which projected images from slides. Of all Dickens' characters 'none played as important a role in his work as that of London itself', it fired his imagination and made him write. In a letter to John Forster, in 1846, Dickens wrote 'a day in London sets me up and starts me', but outside of the city, 'the toil and labour of writing, day after day, without that magic lantern is IMMENSE!!'
However, of the identifiable London locations that Dickens used in his work, scholar Clare Pettitt notes that many no longer exist, and, while 'you can track Dickens' London, and see where things were, but they aren't necessarily still there'.
In addition to his later novels and short stories, Dickens' descriptions of London, published in various newspapers in the 1830s, were released as a collected edition Sketches by Boz in 1836.

I Stand Alone
by: Theophilus LondonJourney starts, beneath the stars
I stand alone
I put all my fears to all these years swept away to know
And know I run this town to be near you
And know of gray skies ever turned blue
I stand alone, I stand alone
I stand alone, I stand alone
The rain is phenomenal, I waited too far
Slam it down like a domino
And laying the...
Said today is a new day I'm looking for new prey
I'm trying to survive, trying to take in this loss
The clothes don't make the man
It's the man that makes the clothes
And if this war doesn't end there's nothing left to fight
And I'll assure you happen tonight
I stand alone, I stand alone
I stand alone, I stand alone
And know I run this town to be near you
I stand alone
And know of gray skies ever turned blue
Still in the confidence, the world in a dominance
The deeper you get the more the reaper is prominent
When Uncle Sam knock on the door, I tell them that I'm headed for the dock
On the shore
Sailing away,... just pack for the stay cause the feeling get, get, yeah,
Yeah
The war don't end and it's nothing left to fight
And I assure you, happen tonight
I stand alone
Journey starts, beneath the stars
I stand alone
I put all my fears to all these years swept away to know
And know I run this town to be near you
And know of great skies ever turned blue
I stand alone, I stand alone
I stand alone, I stand alone
I stand alone, I stand alone
