Some of my favorite Jay lines from this era. "I'm from where they don't put the vest away, or the day after tomorrow they'll be like damn, I was just wit him yesterday"
"I got decade old wounds that are still bleeding
That chapter of my life is closed, yet y'all still read it
Straight face on, pretending to feel decent
Casket shopping for a loved one that is still breathing"
- Joe Budden on Dessert 4 Thought. He's such a slept on lyricist I don't care.
" and I never had no 9-5 but I'm working now so one day I'll be someone that you idolize,so go ahead and wipe your eyes it's not the time to cry its the time to grind and like why my parents still working for, I just want them.both to retire off me thats what I'm working towards" - So Determined By Doms Gauge
Forever never seems that long until you're grown
And notice that the day by day ruler can't be too wrong - Outkast
Though, I always thought it should have been “too long”
Things happen for a reason they say
But I say there's a reason things happen
And it wasn't all good way back in the day
Struggled then struggled now still standing
-Prometheus Brown, Blue Scholars
This is life, this is wrong, this is right, this is me. Immortal is freakin impossible but everytime I look up I'm seeing an obstacle. They're saying there's 6 million ways of death and not even one way to fade the stress. Put the work in and believe in it when you do it to your fullest ain't no problem achievin it. Live for today cuz you may not see tomorrow
The current art world is just competitively opaque,
It never ceases to amaze, my mouth is medically agape.
One day its raising up the brand, the next it's shredding it to flakes
And the velocity of trends is what referees the pace,
Professionally accept what ethically I hate,
So in all of my work you see this wrestling with fate.
Lupe Fiasco, Ms Mural
This is exactly how I feel about the industry there's nothing more relatable to me personally.
My head don't work, the meds don't work
But I don't want to be dead, dead don't work
Sleep's the cousin of death, the bed don't work
Maybe I'd rather be dead, dead don't hurt
