"My picture should be next to the definition
of definition
Because repetition
is the father of learnin'
So son I know your barrells burning but..
Please don't shoot me down, cuz I'm fly" Sick....
"I knock on the door hope isn't home
Fates not around, the lucks all gone
Don't ask me whats wrong, ask me whats right
And I'ma tell you whats life
And did you know?
I lost everything, but I ain't the only one
First came the hurricane then the morning sun
Excuse me if I'm on one and don't trip if I light one, I walk a tight one
They try to tell me keep my eyes open
My whole city under water, some people still floatin
Then they wonder why black people still voting, cause your presidents still chokin
Take away the football team, the basketball team
Now all we got is me to represent New Orleans
No Governor, no help from the Mayor
Just a steady beatin heart and a wish and a prayer"
"And if you come from under the water then there's fresh air
Just breathe baby, Gods got a blessing to spare
Yes, I know the process has so much stress
But its the progress that fills the best
Cause I came from the projects straight to success
And your next, so try they can't steal your pride it's inside
Then find it and keep on grinding
Cause in every dark cloud theres a silver lining
I know..."
My favorite verses from The Carter III, this is why Wayne is on top of the rap game
My least favorite song is Playing With Fire. He gets really repetitive and of all words to use.... yeah.
But Wayne is a beast. And people who don't listen to rap look at this like his performances like "wtf?" This isn't music. But if you listen to his actual music that his fans do, he is another breed of rapper that doesn't define him as just a rapper. He is a poet. Someone who speaks from the heart. And is one of the first rappers to do so since 2pac.
