"Bust Your Windows" was a 2008 single from R&B singer Jazmine Sullivan's debut album, Fearless. It is arguably her single with the most crossover potential, and it is also her biggest hit to date.
About the Song
Musically, "Bust Your Windows" has a waltz/tango rhythm, giving the song quite a dark and dramatic feel. It is perhaps due to this rhythm that makes the song so catchy. The opening string sequence and subsequent beat reminds me of "Habanera" from the play Carmen, though that is probably just me. Jazmine's vocals are emotionally soulful and noticeably deep as she contemplates a failed relationship. Unlike most R&B ballads, Jazmine doesn't do many vocal acrobatics, instead letting her understated delivery match with the song's message.
Lyrically, "Bust Your Windows" could be described as the sequel and aftermath to Carrie Underwood's "Before He Cheats." Whereas Carrie's protagonist is filled with blind rage but no regret as she takes revenge on her cheating boyfriend's car, Jazmine's is calmer as she reflects on her vengeful actions. "I bust the windows of your car," Jazmine admits, but "it didn't mend my broken heart." Her self-awareness is apparent ("You'll probably say that it was juvenile") but she can't help but feel cathartic ("I ain't sorry, you deserved it ... I must admit it helped a little bit"). And though she ultimately feels justified, the last question she asks is to herself: "Why am I the one who's still crying?" It's clear by the song's end that it isn't about a waltz between her and an ex-lover, but her and herself.
Shameless plug for Reality Show
Reality Show is Jazmine's third studio album, released in 2015. It is one of the most stirring albums I have listened to and I was surprised to see it not talked about at all here. Her lyricism is stronger than ever ("Mascara" is a surprisingly poignant take on the typical female self-empowerment anthem) and she mixes traditional R&B with a variety of genres. "Let It Burn" seems to be influenced by 70s synths, "Stanley" won't be played in any clubs but you can feel the electronic influence, and my personal favorite "Masterpiece (Mona Lisa)" combines a soft rock gui

They were blazing down lomas being dangerous and throwing trash out their window weeving through traffic. Tried to catch up to them to get the plate number but it was blacked out and they were going way too fast. They are ruining Albuquerque and the planet for the rest of us
Edit: Some of the people in this thread are confused so let me clarify something. I posted this for the same reason I post a lost animal or lost item on social media, it's just about looking out for one another. Some of you don't care and that's fine. Don't comment. It's not an excuse to be rude to one another.
It's a great little tool for a little extra utility, much more useful than the stinky little knife. You're a machinegunner, not a commando.
I know the Johnsons are loathe to fire coaches or GMs (I mean who else would've kept Todd Bowles and Macc around for that long?) but anything short of the playoffs next season has to be a failure, right? This offense needs to be considerably better no matter what (i.e. Gase cannot rely on riding Gregg Williams' coattails to save his job next season). I trust Douglas to give the O-Line a considerable boost through the draft/free agency so Gase is out of excuses when it comes to the offensive personnel next season. His handling of Bell all season is already a huge mark against him.
