I don't relate to the lyrics but of his recent work I really love his Ghost Town verse even tho I don't really care for that album
his best ever verse
Y’all supposed to be mad at THEM
Y’all ain’t supposed to fight me
So much f***ing power in those lines
To whom much is given much is tested
Get arrested guess until he get the message
I feel the pressure, under more scrutiny
And what I do? Act more stupidly
I hit the Jamaican spot, at the bar, take a seat
I ordered the jerk, she said you are what you eat
You see, I always loved that sense of humor
But tonight, you should have seen how quiet the room was
make you feel alone in the dark
and you never see the light
man, you’re never seeing home
and you’ll never see the domes
i can feel it when i write
point of living in the right
if they only see the wrongs
never listen to the songs
just to listen is a fight
but you with me for the fight
“The kid that made that deserves that maybach” is just an incredible sequence of words.
I've been working this grave-shift
And I ain't made s***
I wish I could buy me a spaceship and fly
Past the sky, oh
“The kid that made that deserves that maybach” is just an incredible sequence of words.
First class with the seat back I still see ya
In my past, you on the other side of the glass
Of my memory's museum
I'm just saying, hey Mona Lisa
Come home you know you can't roam without Caesar
one last sparkle, to follow in your
can't believe he used the f***ing word sparkle but yeah i really felt that on all layers of my soul
This as a 2nd half to the All Day vid where he's running around is an almost perfect encapsulation of his bipolar disorder
I wonder if he had been diagnosed at this time, and if so what his relationship was w the diagnosis
and though I didn't pick the day to turn the page, I know it's the end every time I see her face and I hear you say...
Hello, my only one, just like the mornin' sun
You'll keep on risin' 'til the sky knows your name
And you're still my chosen one, remember who you are
No, you're not perfect but you're not your mistakes
Made it to school with barely enough time to sign in
Yeah, I hear the alarm, yeah, I hear you, Mom
Yeah, yeah, I don't wan' be broke when I'm thirty-one
They said the best classes go to the fastest, sorry, Mr. West
There's no good classes, and that's what yo' ass get
Not even electives? Not even prerequisites?
You mean I missed my major by a couple of seconds?
Now I'm in the shop class or the basket weavin'
With all the rest of the motherfuckers underachievin'
Man, this is an insult
I went to junior high with all of them and they been slow
Yo, I'll be there in five minutes, five hours later?
"I'll be there in five minutes," go 'head, ride with it
I'm so live with it, look how I did it
Been bullshittin' but I finally arrived with it
I know it's late and I took all year but
You can stop complainin' 'cause I'm finally here, yeah
Whole song tbh
