[Verse 1: Lil Wayne] I got ice in my veins, blood in my eyes Hate in my heart, love in my mind I seen nights full of pain, days of the same You keep the sunshine, save me the rain I search but never find, hurt but never cry I work and forever try, but I'm cursed so never mind And it's worse but better times seem further and beyond The top gets higher, the more that I climb The spot gets smaller and I get bigger Tryna get into where I fit in, no room for a nigga But soon for a nigga it be on mother fucker Cause all this bullshit, it made me strong mother fucker
[Chorus:] So I pick the world up and I'm a drop it on your fuckin' head, yeahh! Bitch, I'm a pick the world up and I'm a drop it on your fuckin' head And I could die now rebirth mother fucker Hop up in my spaceship and leave Earth Mother fucker I'm gone Mother fucker I'm gone
[Verse 2: Lil Wayne] Uhhhh! I know what they don't wanna tell you Just hope you're heaven sent, and you're hell proof I walk up in the world and cut the lights off And confidence is the stain they can't wipe off Uhhh, my word is my pride But wisdom is bleak and that's a word from the wise Serve to survive, murdered and bribed And when it got too heavy I put my burdens aside
[Chorus:] So I could pick the world up and I'm a drop it on your fuckin' head, ha ha yeahh! Bitch, I'm a pick the world up and I'm a drop it on your fuckin' head And I could die now rebirth mother fucker Hop up in my spaceship and leave Earth Mother fucker I'm gone Mother fucker I'm gone I'm gone
[Verse 3: Eminem] It hurts but I never show, this pain you'll never know If only you could see just how lonely and how cold And frostbit I've become, my backs against the wall When push come to shove I just stand up and scream 'Fuck them all' Man it feels like these walls are closin' in This roof is cavin' in, but it's time to raise it then Your days are numbered like pagers And my book of rhymes got them crookin' boy This crooked mind of mine got them all shook And scared to look in my eyes I stole that fuckin' clock, I took the time And I came up from behind and pretty much snuck up And butt fucked this game up Better be careful when you bring my name up Fuck this fame, that ain't what I came to claim But the game ain't gonna be the same on the day that I leave it But I swear one way or another I'm a make these fuckin' haters believe it I swear to God, won't spare the rod I'm a man of my word, so your fuckin' heads better nod Or I'm a fuck around in this bitch and roast everybody Sleep on me that pillow is where your head'll lie Permanently bitch, it's beddy bye This world is my Easter egg, yeah prepare to die My head is swole, my confidence is up This stage is my pedestal, I'm unstoppable Incredible hulk you're trapped in my medicine ball I could run circles around you so fast your fuckin head'll spin, dawg I split your cabbage and your lettuce and olives I'll fuckin'
I guess this is the song I can best relate to. Speaks a lot about being hurt in life and just not getting what you've always wanted. Speaks about how you tend to try keeping things to yourself and not showing others the side of you that's hurting so deeply, and accepting things as the way they are at the same time. It's hard to juggle life sometimes ain't it? When a part of you just cries out for a break to nurse the pain, yet another part of you keeps pressing you on, knowing the world won't stop revolving just for you. Feels a little squeezed in between, a little breathless at times.
Yet as any other hip hop songs, they tend to pull you back up again after all the emo nemos in the beginning. The lyrics just starts to change, talking about confidence, reminding you about the shit you've went through and seen in life. The lyrics just start bringing out anger in you, a surge of strength that's hidden within. You start getting less affected by emotions, and your mind starts to clear up.
Which brings me to my point of this post. Many a time we fall into a pit which seems just so familiar to us. A pit where we have hurt and left tears behind. Some people choose to stay hidden in there, wallowing in self pity and hurt. Some people choose alternative routes of tryinga get out of the pit; by faking happiness and trying so hard to convince oneself into it. But the thing about this pit, is that there is only one way out of it; by being strong and being persistent. Strength comes from within. We all feel tired at times, but time waits for no one; we gotta have fun now, there's only minutes left. Yes, I am guilty of making the very mistakes I have highlighted above, but maybe its time for all of us to find that inner strength, cause life is that short, and there is just not enough time to waste thinking about how pathetic life is.
