Lyrics of the Day #4

"Deep breath, I request a requiem for apathy
Momentarily lost hope, but now it’s back in me
Temporarily felt defeated by the game
Then the light came just after the nightingale sang
Thank whoever you wish for the gift received
I let it be the definition of me, the emcee
Share thoughts with the downtrodden – intent:
To tap into the wealth of knowledge my people gain upon the avenue
I keep that close to my heart, though it seems like we’re
Oceans apart, the feedback is my motive to start
The reconstruction of the original ark – you’re safe
Just let the waves carry you out the dark
Brighter days await, the nemesis has sealed his fate
Only the true will pass through this gate
And you are one of those chosen – proof is in the fact
You’re right here – soul wide open to rap" - "Re-fresh" by Common Market

"Just not a go getta,
objective more than just to hit her,
i wanna take my time n listen to her past,
when our paths cross,
its a different math,
see in hell the 4th dimension will crash,
time will stop and I will laugh,
'cuz my ladies by my side
and we're ready to ride at the drop of a dime,
kiss me on my arms n tell me im fine."

"Your parents must have been artists,
and I was the target,
when they released a masterpiece called it a daughter
I'm sorta astonished, been tarnished,
So you are my polish,
always have courage, never nervous,
for my love u are determined,
your worth every second of service
every molecule is beautiful so I cant stop thinking of you,
'cuz the canvas was true..."


Good shit right there.
Honestly, cant get enough of it.
Good reminiscing music.
Peace.

Lyrics of the Day

"The sound of rain is the backdrop,
layin' there,
like she's waitin' for someone to say they care,
while the tears of God fall down the window pane,
she feels unholy, like the Father doesn't know her name.
Mary Magdalen, and the women at the well, he knew everything that happened,
and in His arms she fell." - "Constance" by Mr. J. Medeiros

Shout to my brotha Jason, we doing a collab on these qoutables.

Ever Wonder Why...

Why?
Why does life have to be so hard?
Why cant you have it all?
Why cant you be perfect?
Why cant your relationships work out the way you want them to?
Why do your College Apps have to give you so much stress?
Why do you feel inadequate?
Why did they have to die?
Why did you have to leave?
Why did they have to go?
Why did things have to change?
Why couldnt it be?
Why did they fall?
Why did you let yourself down?
Why did you do it?
Why not?
Why....




I wonder why.

Lyrics of the Day

"If it wasn't for a mic check I wouldn't have a check at all
Nowadays you can't live that way
The markets way too unstable, there's too many pimp labels
Playing rappers like a ho, manhandlin' the dough"-Asheru on "If" by Kenn Starr
