so i have a new song that a stalk, i'll paste the parts i like below. it's a rap song by twista, that states problems honestly, but then faith evans in the chorus brings in the hope... so here's "hope" by twista/faith evans.
"I wish the way I was livin' could stop
Servin' rocks, knowin' the cops is hot when I'm on the block
And I - wish my homies wouldn't have to suffer
When the streets get the upper hand understand we lose a brother
And I - wish I could go deep in the zoneAnd lift the spirits of the world with words within this song (I wish)
And I - wish I could teach us all to fly
Take away the pain out your hands and help you hold 'em high
And I - wish God had never gave the men power
To be able to hurt the people inside the Twin Towers (I wish)
And I - wish God would've turned they hearts righteous
When they started to take innocent lives and become snipers
But uh - we will never break though they devastate
We shall motivate, and we gotta pray, all we got is faith
Instead of thinkin' about who gon' die today
The Lord is gon' help you feel better so you ain't gotta cry today
Sit at the light so long
And then we gotta move straight forward cause we bite so strong
So when right go wrong
Just say a lil' prayer, get your money man, life goes on...
Cause I'm hopeful, yes I am, hopeful for today
Take this music and use it, let it take you away
And be hopeful, hopeful, and He'll make a wayI know it ain't easy but - that's okay
Just be hopeful
I wish that you would show some love
Instead of hatin' so much when you see some other people comin' up (I wish)
I wish I could teach the world to sing
Write some music and have them trippin' off the joy I bring
Shit - I wish that we can hold hands
Listenin' instead of dissin', lessons from a grown man (I wish)
And I - wish the families that lack but got love
Get some stacks, brand new shack, and a 'Llac that's on dubs
And I - wish we could keep achieving wonders
See the vision of the world through the eyes of Stevie Wonder (I wish)
You feel me - and I hope all the kids eat
And don't nobody in my family see six feet - ya dig?
Cause I'm hopeful, yes I am, hopeful for today
Take this music and use it, let it take you away
And be hopeful, hopeful, and He'll make a wayI know it ain't easy but - that's okay
Just be hopeful
You can be wrong if it's you doubtin'With the faith of a mustard seed, you can move mountains
And only the heavenly father can ease the hurt
Just let it go and keep prayin' on your knees in church
Just be hopeful
I'm obsessed with finding christianity in secular music, reading rap lyrics online and discovering the hidden words, and other musical insanity. so if you don't really do the whole "god thing" and want to know some good music, want some god music, or just don't care, contact me. i got cha.

Again another song... first thing that came to mind.
ReplyDeleteFort Minor - "Right Now"
Someone right now is leaving their apartment looking down at the street wondering where there car went
Someone in the car sitting at a signal in front of a restaurant staring through the window at someone
right now with their finger in their teeth who could use a little floss
Right across the street theres somebody on the curb who really needs a jacket spent half a grand at a
bar getting plastered now hes gotta walk fourteen blocks to work at a shop where hes about to get fired.
Someone right now is looking pretty tired staring at a laptop trying to get inspired Somebody living
right across the street shes wrote the best things shes written all week but her best friends coughing up
blood in the sink cant even think what happened feeling so confused and he knows it looks bad but there
nothing he can do I wonder what its like to be right there in his shoes
[Chorus]
But no im just taking it in out the window of a hotel bedroom again tomorrow ill be gone I dont know
when ill be back and this world everything can change just like that, that, just like that, just like that
that, just like that, just like that
Yo somebody right now is dropping his vote inside a box and trying not to get shot in his throat
For the act of freedom right now somebody is stuck in Iraq hoping that he gets shipped back breathing in
a war that hes not really sure of the reasons so we show our support when the press mislead them though we
more then remain proud and salute the troops get some I know you boys got some work to do
Meanwhile right now someones 25 to life and is standing on the corner with their thumb up hitchhiking
stretching off a lotto ticket hoping for a real winner sneaking through the water just to work and to eat
a real dinner
Right now someone wishes they were you were not instead of second guessing freedom thoughts of quiet suicide
But right now im staring at the window at a frame with holes in his arm and holes in his jeans he pulled
out his siger and sparked the light and walked right around the corner just outta my sight
But yo im just taking it in from the second story hotel window again, the TV's on, and my bags are
packed, but in this world everything can change just like that, like that, like that, like that,
[Repeat]
Ya right now somebody sitting in the darkness trying to figure out how to put some heat in their
apartment but they got a little mattress and a little carpet and they appreciate it cause some people own
apartments
You seem them when you rushing to get to the office wife robbed blind when she coming from the market
right now somebody coming out from the pocket trying to dump that rock they run around the block with at
the same time the cops is raising the block with aint for your legs and back with some hot shit
Right now somebody struggling to stop this man whos kick and punching and cussing at the doctors
Down the hall the child taking his first breath the doctors aint even passed him to the nurse yet yo I
wonder if he understands what its worth yet like the time spent while we here on the earth yet the answer
to the question that we all seek to be found at the general how all free your fate
Right now its somebody who aint eat all week that would kill for the shit that you throw away in the
street I guess ones mans trash is the next mans treasure one mans pain is the next mans pleasure one say
infinity the next say forever right now erbody got to get it together man
Im just taking it in another strange hotel lobby again put my luggage on my back i dont know where im at
im in world where we all change just like that, like that, like that, just like that, like that, just like that
Just like that, Just like that
