Fortified wine
Fortified wine is a wine to which a distilled spirit, usually brandy, is added. Many different styles of fortified wine have been developed, including Port, Sherry, Madeira, Marsala, Commandaria wine, and the aromatized wine Vermouth.
Production
The original reason for fortifying wine was to preserve it, since ethanol is a natural antiseptic. Even though other preservation methods now exist, fortification continues to be used because the process can add distinct flavors to the finished product.
Although grape brandy is most commonly added to produce fortified wines, the additional alcohol may also be neutral spirit that has been distilled from grapes, grain, sugar beets, or sugarcane. Regional appellation laws may dictate the types of spirit that are permitted for fortification.
The source of the additional alcohol and the method of its distillation can affect the flavor of the fortified wine. If neutral spirit is used, it will usually have been produced with a continuous still, rather than a pot still.

I needed to feel like when your mother
Used to take you to the african party
[Chorus:]

My lover, so honey let me hold you, let me love you, forever
[Verse 1:]
Well, maybe not forever
Chain withdrawn when we not together
Best foot forward, holla at your boy
And I can get em all without lots of effort
Take her home, and we can get it on
Make my jelof with lots of pepper
God has blessed her, prauda dresser
Mix my guiness with a Dr. Pepper

She so sweet, shortie feed my ego

No regard when I'm going at a broad
And I go up in a party like I'm going abroad
Understand that's fly, damn super fly guy land in Du Bai

Hate estate and my iPod with it
Money on the floor, throw it on a broad
This is not balling, but this is our culture

If it's not couture, I will not go to her
If it's not k9, I will not couture
To much cognac wheres my chauffeur
