The Lyricists - Grown Up ft Braile & J Pope

By -
Some songs will never get the credit they deserve, it's a harsh reality that things get slept on. This joint is one that has always put a fat smile on my face. Killer beat plus lyrics that just crush make this song rocking on many levels. If you haven't heard this track about the importance of growing up in the right fashion then you are missing out. Feast your ears on this one.




Lyrics: The Lyricists - Grown Up

Look I want you to be a man
Now you be a man right now
And from now on no matter what happens
You'll be a man for the rest of your natural life

Talking about growing up not just as an artist
But in every aspect of life

Growing up living ignorant with limited understanding
Imitating false images picture perfect
But when you look a little closer man you see the flaws all over
Follow the footsteps of fallen soldiers
It's like trying to lead a dehydrated horse to springs of water
You can't make him drink
But I'm gonna make you think about
The process of growth and the desire to obtain things
Vain things
We get tired of the same things
Hit rock bottom we get inspired to change things
We get lonely want the attention that fame brings
We do nothing its all problems and blame kings
There comes a time in life when moment can switch your whole focus
I'm no longer dreaming about being the best emcee
Cause I need time to improve on the rest of me

I'm leaving home now
I'm on my own now
Got to be strong now
Its time for me to grow
If you alright when
You act real fine then
I'm gonna keep climbing
I still have room to grow

Pops wasn't around nights were long
Left it up to my moms to show me right from wrong
God bless the child for instilling some common sense
Which made me the man I'm today
Since I was brought up with
The path thats often twisted and misconstrued
My life's views gave me the option to choose
On what and what not to
Who to be like and who not you
Wasn't inspired by that fast life
It was more like pass the mic
Which sparked the drive inside and gave me insight
Learn from mistakes regrets choices made
Responsibility makes you who you are in the end, right?
Dealt with the good
Bad happy sad
And those who chose to use my nuts as a hacky sack
Provide for me and mine without the gun playing
Sort of like transform the way I change into a young man
Didn't have that stress
That made me progress quicker than I had to
Trace the steps that I've been through
And you can see things got hard
And I still remained that one man under God


I'm leaving home now
I'm on my own now
Got to be strong now
Its time for me to grow
If you alright when
You act real fine then
I'm gonna keep climbing
I still have room to grow

Possess an S on my chest the world success
I'm still chasing bless mics and rip rock them the best
No need for me cop copping a vest
I roll with chill dudes and grown but stay away from the rest
Put a notch in your chest with real superb words
These young acting old cats is working my third nerve
I keep it four course while they serving up Hors d'œuvre
My knowledge elevates past the norm and further
Tres uno you know the age now
The serious nigga that use to be class clown
Now I'm rocking the class crown peeking the last round
Stamina stays full putting the mash down
Heart of a lion stands firm as a cinder block
Proud like a lambo hustle smooth like my grand pop
This is my way of life you know that I can't stop
Took my gangsta rims swinging chain and my gold watch

I'm leaving home now
I'm on my own now
Got to be strong now
Its time for me to grow
If you alright when
You act real fine then
I'm gonna keep climbing
I still have room to grow

Woke Up Making Money - SoulChef ft Declaime

By -

Built like Budda and Bob Marley on a Harley  So much flavor on this track it was clearly concocted by SoulChef. The title of this track is just outright deceitful; the art of making money has been bastardized and turned into an act of craving cash rather then flourishing ones talent. That's exactly why the crispy cadence of Declaime reclaims what is it to be truthful to oneself. I lack the words to accurately describe how poignantly powerful this gem is. SoulChef is one of the greatest producers and an ode to a time that is quasi lost. When coupled with a lyricist who can consciously construct a clear message it's apparent that the power of hip-hop is still exceptionally strong. I love it from top to bottom. It radiates and embodies what I want to be as person. Thank you kindly for blessing me with a banger worthy of making money to.  Lyrics: Declaime  Haha this is what it is  And you what it ain't  Going hard in the paint  Going places where most can't Not...

Hilltop Hoods - I love it ft. Sia

Yet another great song by the Hilltop Hoods of Australia. These guys demonstrate the art of hard work and sacrifice in order to achieve their goals. This is a tribute to their passion and undying love to the culture of hip-hop. If you're like me, a hip-hop junkie, and you haven't gotten on board with the scene down under you're seriously putting a dent in your rotation list. Listen to this track because "I love it!" Lyrics: Hilltop Hoods - I love it ft. Sia Verse 1: SUFFA I’m wondering where the day went, The clouds have me shrouded in grey but, I’m still out pounding the pavement, word, Drowning the hurt by pounding rounds in brown paper, Founded a label now I’m drowning paperwork, But now the crew I’m down with found an escape from work, And I love it ‘cause that what your hard work gets you, My heart bursts through my chest I’m rescued, So forget what the rest do, I’m blessed to do it with two of who are the best to do it, Do I love it? PRESSURE Look at our goa...

Kendrick Lamar - Sing About Me, I'm Dying of Thirst

By -

Mighty Mos Def said it best, "Why does one straw break the camels back? Here's the secret, the million other straws underneath it." In the culture of Hip-Hop there is a paradigm shift going down. While Lil Wayne experiences seizures (probably from excessive codeine usage) and Nicky Minaj trots around like a trollop not fit for the slums of Kandahar, legitimate artists are emerging. They're shining lights on the fact that excessive materialism, drug use, violence, persecution, and sexism are not productive parts of society. Emcees are getting features on their albums from influential people like Dr. Cornell West (Brother Ali) and Maya Angelou (Kendrick Lamar). They're are openly rapping about the disgusting hate towards homosexuality (Murs & Macklemore). Even the catholic church and their rampant cover up of pedophilia isn't safe (Lupe Fiasco). The cherry on this sundae is the fact that all these artists have recently topped ...
