“ALWAYS ON TIME” by JA RULE featuring ASHANTI
What better way to wrap up BLACK HISTORY MONTH than to do it in a leap year, on February 29th. Today’s song choice, “Always On Time”, is an R&B influenced song that was recorded by Ja Rule and Ashanti.
The lyrics within revolve around the challenges of maintaining a relationship, and the desire to be there for a partner (despite life’s difficulties).
