Some I feel like I can relate to...
Big K.R.I.T.
I'm just sitting here, praying to my father
Tired of today, forever scared of tomorrow
Where's a scale I could borrow? Cause living ain't cheap
I dropped out of school, pops, cause college ain't free
Plus college ain't me, sitting in the class
Questions rushing in my brain but I'm too proud to ask
Take it all in stride, teacher talking physics
And I just want to be fly
What good is a degree when there's no jobs to apply?
And fast food won't do 'cause you overqualified
J. Cole
Believe in God like the sun up in the sky
Science can tell us how, it cant tell us why
I seen a baby cry then seconds later she laughed,
the beauty of life, the pain never lasts
I look around at my city this is SinVille
That boy 11 years old and can inhale
Sometimes I ride around wondering if we in hell
Or why the cops love to throw a #$%^ in jail
I'm bout to lose it I just had another friend killed
Devin the Dude
Some people gots to have it, some really need it
A lot might even sacrifice their life to retrieve it
I see that money's good for me, money's good to me
Money can't buy me love but it can rent me some P%$$^
You get your hands on a little bit of it and before you know it
You go crazy without, do strange things for it
Although it's made of paper, it don't grow on trees
Unless you comin' up sellin' weed, while you blow on sweet
You see money makes the world go round
Makes the price of livin' go up, chances of livin' go down
You see money makes the world go round
If you ain't got it you ain't nothin' but when you come up than they hound you
Cause money makes the world go round
T.I.
Talk #%^ slap box clear into the day light
Might fuss may fight but stay tight
I aint never been scared, I lived through tragedy
Situation coulda been dead lookin' back at it
Brag with such passion and shine without tryin'
Believe me, pains a small thang to a giant
I was born without a dime
Out the gutter I climbed
Spoke my mind and didn't stutter one time
Ali said even the greatest gotta suffer sometime
God will take you to hell, just to get you to heaven
So even though it's heavy, the load I will carry
Scarface
I'll never disrespect my momma, never disrespect her momma neither
I'll never turn my back on Jesus
I'll never get caught off in the system, cause I believe a
man that follows man, ain't no man, and I'm a leader
I've seen a child born and I've seen a man die
can't live forever and I understand why
so when your time comes will you crawl or be brave
and in between judgement will you fall or be saved
