Some of the reasons i love hip-hop more than anything else:

" if u live in this second you exist the present and  hats how you stay connected, from good times to hardships if u learn to just accept it you'll know every moment in life is there to teach you a lesson" - macklemore

“As long as we are together, Its heaven for me to please you ” - Nas

"ive been told you only create you're own ceiling and knowing this is what the spirit is" - macklemore

"Why are we scared of woman who could be our teachers?" - Gabriel Teodros

"Now every girl i've hurt is a lesson learned" - Bambu

“If you have time to take a shit, you have time to read a book” - Blue Scholars

“The best love i've ever had was a friend first" - Gabriel Teodros

"and you know what makes it all worth it? To watch someone progress, to have them watch you, someone who you respect who you value and cry to, its something so comforting cos it can bring you so much truth, but that magic can become stagnate if the relationship doesn’t move, the commitments to yourself and that you are always learning, to acknowledge you're both perfect and still want to keep working, to progress as a person but as an individual entity and come together as a unit but still maintain that identity, it sounds so elementary but its so complex the most delicate balance to get away from the ?? but it could work, i'm attempting it and living it, to keep defining and redefining what love and commitment is" - Macklemore

"To me MC means Mentor the Child" - Common Market

“Whats the difference between Al Kida and America? they are both money hungry relgious power hungry murders... you fell for the propaganda” - Bambu

"You say life's a bitch, but maybe you only call her a bitch cos she went let you get that pussy, or maybe you're an asshole that can't sweet talk that princess" - Aesop Rock

“Love Ain’t for the faint of heart” - Cunninlyngist

“In the mainstream the culture is so sedated” - Gabriel Teodros

“I find pleasure in pleasing you, like a real man should” - 50 Cent

“I’m not traditional but I’ve grown with those values and culture and language like the blues down to jazz, rock and it don’t stop” - Gabriel Teodros

“The problem with me is that I think too much

And the problem with you is you don't think it all
your brains deadweight so you sink and you fall
you drink and you smoke till your motivation'S gone
and you know this is true so you hate this song...

The problem with me is CO-dependency
so afraid of the day that you won't remember me
knee deep in anXIOUSNESS, NEEDY like an infant
escapism, beats, rhymes, alcohol & women
the problem with you - you let yourself stop believing
and now you're afraid of your own thoughts and feelings
forgot how to share what I love most about you...
lost your voice - now no choice but to doubt you

Now the problem with the world? ...the lack of respect
for our earth, for our children - for the future we neglect
for the morals, for the values, for the god that we select
millions die everyday without a cause to Effect
The problem with the revolution? ...it's never gonna happen
through these marches, through this music,
through these motherfuckers rappin'
through these communists, these socialists or any other faction
armchair activist - all talk no action...

The problem with the people that I stay surrounded with?
...they all wanna replace faith with a psycologist
bring the evolution, wheter thinkin it's pollution
when they're swallowing the balance, and they're drinking the solutions
The problem with the people that I won't stand next to?
...they don't hear the songs that we sing for the rescue
the keys of life - the basslines of sadness
so people that don't have - reach out and grab it

The problem with hiphop? ...shit nothing at all
it's an artform that ranges and it changes it evolves
it's not always for the better, but patient with it ya'll
for our time will come and the wicked will fall
The problem with this song, is it's not long enough to say
how fucked up it is that we live in this way
nothings is alright ...but everything is okay
so we plan for tomorrow but we live for today

The problem with sex is selfrespect - calibration
the orgasm serves as your validation...
and the problem with love, is that it lives in a book now
the problem with drugs is that theyre too fucking good now
the problem with logic is theres too many loopholes
and the problem with truth is that it's usually brutal
the problem is I can't trust most of what I see
so Fuck it! ...all the problems of life must be me!” -Felt
