Are you who you say you are of just a sliver of who you're supposed to be? - Grouch While there are number of deeper meanings to why Victor Frankenstein created a monster, the most straight forward of them all was doing so as a service to humanity. Upon completion of the task at hand Victor became repulsed by his creation. So disgusted with himself he went into a deep dark depression and spent every waking hours devoted to destroying what he created. In the past 40 years our world has (d)evolved immensely. We spend our time staring at Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. We've traded character for popularity, morale fortitude for money, and passion for instant gratification. A monster has been created. The internet was originally manufactured for two professors to communicate to one another and now it's used for so many more purposes. Just like everyone else I hear the beep on my phone and feel the itchy trigger finger to see who may have contacted me. This track is a test...

There is no track that will ever be able to challenge the importance of this song to me. It now has been over 10 years since this ballad was originally released and for some reason it still resonates with me ever so deeply. I can repeat every lyric of this song flawlessly because it's more of mantra for me than anything else. Amp Live (the producer of this beat and member of Zion I) is flawless in his production.

Lord gimme what I need gimme what I need. [Zion I] Dear Lord you show me the best of times You show me the worst of times Confusio...

To open up and honestly analyze oneself can be a very painful task. More often than not we choose to rationalize our problems and look at them through a murky lens. Zumbi guts himself and lets his emotions ooze ever so gently on Amp Lives beat. It's a very precarious situation but he does so flawlessly and I respect him greatly for that. As a man I understand the pain of seeing your father cry and to even brush the subject requires a very delicate touch. Maybe its late or that I have to get up early tomorrow, but I lack the words to describe how pungently powerful each verse is. At any rate this an awesome track from 2003's Deep Water Slang V2.0. As usual the lyrics are below. Lyrics: Zion I - Sorry Sometimes it's hard to say I'm sorry yo yo, eh, my raps written in a whirlwind, so if my tail spin just point at me and ill begin where the twirl ends its difficult to open up, wounds that never shut and watch it bleed while these rap critics eat it up but such is destiny, ...
