Jazmine sullivan bust your windows i bust the windows

I bust the windows out ya car
And no it didn’t mend my broken heart
I’ll probably always have these ugly scars
But right now I don’t care about that part

I bust the windows out ya car
After I saw you laying next to her
I didn’t wanna but I took my turn
I’m glad I did it cause you had to learn…

I must admit it helped a little bit
To think of how you’d feel when you saw it
I didn’t know that I had that much strength
But I’m glad you see what happens when…

You see can’t just play with people’s feelings
Tell them you love them and don’t mean it
You’ll probably say that it was juvenile
But I think that I deserve to smile

I bust the windows out ya car
You know I did it cause I left my mark
Wrote my initials with the crowbar
And then I drove off into the dark

I bust the windows out ya car
You should feel lucky that that’s all I did
After five whole years of this bullshit
Gave you all of me and you played with it

I must admit it helped a little bit
To think of how you’d feel when you saw it
I didn’t know that I had that much strength
But I’m glad you see what happens when…

You see you can’t just play with people’s feelings
Tell them you love them and don’t mean it
You’ll probably say that it was juvenile
But I think that I deserve to smile

But it don’t comfort to my broken heart
You could never feel how I felt that day
Until it happens baby you don’t know pain

Oooh Yeah I did it (Yeah I did it)
You should know it (You should know it)
I ain’t sorry (I ain’t sorry)
You deserved it (You deserved it)

After what you did to me (After what you did)
You deserved it (You deserved it)
I ain’t sorry (I ain’t sorry)
No no oh… (I ain’t sorry)

You broke my heart
So I broke ya car
You caused me pain (You caused me pain)
So I did the same

Even though all that you did to me was much worse
I had to do something to make you hurt yeah
Oh but why am I still cryin’?
Why am I the one whose still cryin’?

Oh oh you really hurt me baby
You really you really hurt me baby
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
now watch me yule
now watch me
I bust the windows out ya car

Я выбила стекла в твоей машине,
И нет, это не излечило мое сердце,
Наверное, ужасные шрамы останутся навсегда,
Но сейчас я об этом не думаю

Я выбила стекла в твоей машине,
После того как увидела тебя в постели с другой,
Я не хотела этого делать, но сделала,
И я рада, что так поступила, потому что ты должен знать…

Должна признать, мне немного стало легче,
Представляю, что ты почувствовал, когда увидел машину,
Не знала, что во мне есть столько силы,
Но я рада, ты понял, что случается, когда…

Знаешь ли, нельзя играть с чувствами людей,
Говорить им, что любишь, но не чувствовать этого на самом деле,
Возможно, ты скажешь, что я поступила по-детски,
Но думаю, я заслуживаю улыбки

Я выбила стекла в твоей машине,
Знаешь, я сделала это, чтобы оставить о себе знак,
Выскребла свои инициалы ломом,
А потом уехала в темноту

Я выбила стекла в твоей машине,
Ты должен радоваться, что это все что я сделала,
После пяти лет лжи,
Я отдала тебе всю себя, а ты лишь играл со мной

Должна признать, мне немного стало легче,
Представляю, что ты почувствовал, когда увидел машину,
Не знала, что во мне есть столько силы,
Но я рада, ты понял, что случается, когда…

Знаешь ли, нельзя играть с чувствами людей,
Говорить им, что любишь, но не чувствовать этого на самом деле,
Возможно, ты скажешь, что я поступила по-детски,
Но думаю, я заслуживаю улыбки

Но это не успокоило мое разбитое сердце,
Ты никогда не поймешь, как я чувствовала себя в тот день,
Пока это не произойдет, ты не узнаешь боли

О, да, я сделала это (сделала это)
Ты должен знать (должен знать),
Мне не жаль (не жаль),
Ты это заслужил (заслужил)

После того, что ты мне причинил (причинил мне),
Ты это заслужил (заслужил),
Мне не жаль (не жаль),
О, нет, нет, нет (мне не жаль)

Ты разбил мое сердце,
Я разбила твою машину,
Ты причинил мне боль (причинил мне боль),
Я сделала то же самое

Хотя ты сделал мне намного хуже,
Я должна была сделать что-нибудь в ответ,
Но почему я все еще плачу?
Почему я единственная, кто все еще плачет?

Ты ранил меня,
Ты сильно, сильно, сильно ранил меня
Эй, эй, эй, эй
А теперь смотри на меня,
Следи за мной,
Я разбила стекла в твоей машине

Jazmine Sullivan singles chronology
«Need U Bad» (2008) «Bust Your Windows« (2008) «Lions, Tigers & Bears» (2008)

«Bust Your Windows» is a song recorded by American singer-songwriter Jazmine Sullivan from her debut album Fearless. The song was available as a digital download on Amazon in the U.S. on September 16, 2008. The song was then later released as a promo CD on November 15, 2008,^[1] after it was sent to radio stations for airplay around the U.S..

«Bust Your Windows» was nominated in the Best R&B Song category for 2009’s Grammy Awards.

«Bust Your Windows» was number 58 on Rolling Stone‘s list of the 100 Best Songs of 2008.^[2]

Composition[edit]

«Bust Your Windows» is a midtempo R&B ballad with a moderate Latin beat and a tango rhythm. It is set in common time with a moderate tempo of 107 beats per minute and is written in the key of F harmonic minor. It follows the chord progression Fm–D♭–B♭m–C.^[3] Sullivan’s vocal range spans from F₃ to E♭₅.^[3]

Salaam Remi contributes to the song’s emotional weight with his maudlin, noir-style string samples taken from Bad Man Waltz.^[4] Epinions described the song’s composition: «The musical layers are deceptively intricate, with a unison string/woodwind line that continually evolves throughout the song and a very simple vocal harmony mix that moves into a call and response against Jazmine’s pleas. Neither of the facets scream for attention but repeated listens bear out just how well they framed this song.»^[5]

The song interpolates the lyric «Now watch me you» from Soulja Boy Tell ‘Em’s signature song «Crank That (Soulja Boy)». The song features Jazmine on both lead and backing vocals.

Critical reception[edit]

Billboard gave it a positive review, describing Sullivan’s performance as «one of the most challenging vocals from a female R&B artist this year. Sullivan’s husky voice floats effortlessly over an eerie underlining violin score, originating from a sample of producer Salaam Remi’s composition «Bad Man Waltz.»^[6] Slant Magazine also reviewed the song favorably: «Sullivan exposes the reality beneath the revenge fantasy: «Oh, but why am I the one who’s still crying?»

Commercial reception[edit]

The single, fueled by strong radio airplay, managed to peak at number 4 on Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles Chart, becoming her second consecutive Top 5 single on that chart. «Bust Your Windows» debuted at number 81 on the Billboard Hot 100 issued for week 43 of 2008. The single also became her second consecutive Top 40 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 when it spent a total of 5 weeks within the top 40. It peaked at #31 and holds the record for Jazmine’s highest-peaking single on the chart, so far. The success of the song on this chart continued for weeks on end and it eventually dropped out in early 2009, spending a total of 15 weeks charting.

Elsewhere, «Bust Your Windows» gave Jazmine her second consecutive top 20 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 Airplay Chart, where it peaked at number 18. As well as her second consecutive top 30 hit on the Billboard Hot Adult R&B Songs Chart, where it peaked at number 22. Towards the end of the single’s promotion, Jazmine performed «Bust Your Windows» on CBS’s The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson in early January 2009.^[7]

Music video[edit]

On October 10, 2008, the music video for «Bust Your Windows» premiered on BET’s 106 & Park. The video was also placed at #46 on BET’s «Notarized: Top 100 Videos of 2008» countdown.

The music video features scenes of adultery involving Jazmine’s boyfriend in the video mimicking the song and song lyrics. The video, however, does not feature Jazmine physically busting out car windows, as fans expected but instead the intense emotion of the song is displayed through Jazmine breaking wine glasses on a table; there is also a trail of glass leading up to the bedroom where she discovered what would bring out this feeling of rage within her.

The setting of the video is dark and features harsh coloured gases passing through the air whilst Jazmine is singing – adding the sense of anger and depression that the video is meant to bring out in the song. Other scenes feature her boyfriend’s guilty conscience of what he’s done – namely when he hesitantly looks himself in the mirror.
