5)  “You Got Me” The Roots

The Philly bred band addresses issues of infidelity and trust in this humble, yet hypnotizing hymn which led to a Grammy win of Best Performance by a Duo Or Group.  Erykah Badu lends a soft reassurance to the song that comforts the listener while Black Thought offers some insight on how over-analysis, insecurity and the opinions of others can slowly breakdown the foundation of even the strongest relationships.

Memorable Line: “I’ve seen people caught in love like whirlwinds, listening to they squads and listening to girlfriends.  That’s exactly the point where they whole world ends, lies come in, that’s where that drama begins.”
