    Rap 1 chút cho đỡ thèm , một cái beat thật là cũ mèm
    Và một cái mic cùi, đã lâu chưa có ai chùi
    Ai lau, và cũng không định thay trong mai sau
    Tao đang nghĩ về những thằng bạn, những ngày lang thang
    Sẽ ra sao nếu như ngày mai cuộc đời sang trang
    Chân bước đường thênh thang hay gập ghềnh trên lối nhỏ
    May mắn kia tới thăm, sáng lạn hay tối tăm hay bị hạnh phúc chối bỏ
    Giống như khí cầu- muốn bay cao phải ném đi những bao cát
    Con người ta không thể cứ sống mà có quá nhiều khao khát
    Rồi sẽ phải lựa chọn, rồi sẽ phải cân đo đong đếm
    Rồi sẽ phải đóng chặt cửa tâm hồn để cho đêm âu lo không đến
    Rồi nhìn quãng đường đã qua không biết thành công hay là thất bại
    Nỗi buồn lớn nhất là khi niềm vui cũng vì lo toan mà bị gác lại,
    Rồi chìm phai
    Sợ mai muốn tìm lại mình mà không biết phải tìm ai
    Rồi lục lọi trong trí nhớ, đôi ý thơ còn trơ trốc
    Thời gian là dòng nước nhưng lại làm lòng mình khô khốc
    ta khóc cho mảnh linh hồn ta đã sứt mẻ
    Sẽ chẳng có lệ nào rơi khi đam mê kia đã nứt nẻ
    Nghe mưa đêm rơi rất khẽ
    mày có nghe thấy nhịp beat không ?
    nó đẹp như một nàng tiên
    nó say mê như thuốc phiện
    càng nghe tao lại càng ghiền
    nghe hoài làm tao phát điên
    homie à, sẽ có người bỏ cuộc chơi
    tao biết, vì gánh nặng của cuộc đời
    anh em mình vất vả, lắm lúc cũng hụt hơi
    cũng là chuyện bình thường ở huyện
    sau này ngồi với nhau,” ngày xửa ngày xưa” mở truyện
    ờ hồi đó flow tao thế này, lời mày thế kia
    hồi đó quay MV chỉ có bàn ghế và chai bia
    hồi đó tao toàn than thở, hồi đó nhạc mày hay ghê
    hồi đó mình còn trẻ lắm, hồi đó mình còn say mê
    có khi nào trên phố, mày bất chợt dừngxe
    lắng nghe những câu ca *** thuộc mà mày đã từng nghe
    đã từng say đắm, đã từng cho là hay lắm, nhưng đã quên
    không nhớ được người hát và cả tên
    homie à, chúng ta mài sắt thành kim
    nếu bắt tao phải từ bỏ đau như là cắt vành tim
    sau này trong đầu mình chỉ toàn lãi lời lọc lõi
    xuân hạ thu đông chung quy chỉ mãi mùa mệt mỏi
    âu lo như là Tô Lịch ta ngửi lâu thành trơ
    nhiều năm sau tao chỉ muốn còn được ngồi chửi nhau bằng thơ
    cho đỡ nhạt nhòa những tháng năm màu xám
    sống mà không có đam mê như lợn chờ máng đầy cám
    chưa bao giờ từng nghĩ ta là 1 rapper đúng nghĩa
    nghe nhạc ta đa số anh em và cũng chưa từng bán đĩa
    nhiều năm nữa ta vẫn thế này hay là một ngôi sao sáng chói
    ta có vợ đẹp con xinh hay trơ thân trong căn phòng ám khói
    đến đây thôi, phòng tao khói trắng phủ...
    nhiều năm sau mày vẫn còn nghe vài lời tao nhắn nhủ ???

    nowadays commercial rappers say they spitting they virtues
    silly aint it? how not having cash, rims
    can hurt u?
    can simply divert u? its like letting the devil stab u an u urself letting him through
    stop decoding the moral encoding
    start devoting ur mental abilities to the fallen
    simply helpin a brother out is the sign of gods calling
    sum fresh pancakes and cold glass a milk
    an im set to be ballin...

    We work so hard just to relax to melodies so soft, It blows my mind to know Jesus died for the whole word on the cross, and we sleep all day just to stay up at night, and sumthings gotta be wrong just to say its alright, Liven paycheck to paycheck tryna keep the hope, the real meaning of J.O.B is (Just Over Broke),Money is made just to be spent, and you get it how you live it at your own expense, Light a candle burn a incent and spray febreeze, smell good while you get bent and smoke your weed

    glad you like it. Yes, hip hop can be very beautiful but it depends on the artist and the song. you should check out a guy named "nujabes," beautiful stuff that man has there. very relaxing. if you're not into that, then soft electronica might do... "boards of canada" is also wonderful music to fall alseep to.

    where i feel infinite bliss,
    her soul i can't resist
    so i still persist
    and revisit our dreams
    code em into the scenes
    of reality, with my intricate mentality
    delicate like a flower
    empowered to shower
    with energies floating in the breeze
    interweave through seasons
    depleting demons treason's

    What They Do
    The Roots
    Lyrics
    Never do what they do, what they do, what they do
    Yo, yo
    Lost generation, fast paced nation
    World population confront they frustration
    The principles of true hip-hop have been forsaken
    It's all contractual and about money makin'
    Pretend-to-be cats don't seem to know they limitation
    Exact replication and false representation
    You wanna be a man? Then stand your own
    To emcee requires skills; I demand some shown
    I let the frauds keep frontin'
    And roam like a cellular phone far from home
    Givin' crowds what they wantin'
    Official hip-hop consumption, the fifth thumpin'
    Keepin' ya party jumpin' with an original somethin'
    Yo, I dedicate this to the one dimensional
    No imagination, excuse for perpetration
    My man came over and said, "Yo, we thought we heard you"
    Joke's on you; you heard a bitin'-ass crew, but um
    Never do what they do, what they do, what they do
    Thin is the line that run between love and hatred
    The game is ill-natured; it's nothing sacred
    Aiyyo, it's funny when I see some rap niggas due to make it
    A few'll blow up, or go as far as they can take it
    My nine to five is just to hit ya; get the party live
    I'm black thought, used to rap for sport
    Now the rhymes sayin' rent payin' life support
    I take it very seriously within this industry
    It's various crews that try to touch me
    But I come with the beautiful things, and I bless the track plushly
    Around the world crowds love me, from doin' tours
    Recipient of applause from all of you and yours
    Creator of original sounds to send to stores
    You take home to absorb and sweat it out your pores
    Now, who can stop the music runnin' through these veins?
    Infinitely go against the grain; that's why my motto's to
    Never do what they do, what they do, what they do
    Livin' the life of limos and lights
    Airplanes and trains, short days and long nights
    Keyboards and mics, bass chords and drum kicks
    And my mental thick to hit my head like brick
    As I embark on a mission welcomin' to the dark
    When I first spark the arts, when the listenin' start
    Open your head wide, and let the thought inside
    My style fortified by all of Philadel-phi
    I've dealt more stealth than all the wicked wealthy
    Mentality undetectable by the naked eye
    Then I get paid when the record is played
    To put it short "I want it made" like Ed; 'nuff said
    Then after that, I'm puttin' on my cousin Hamed
    We let the ladies blend with the dark skin thoroughbred
    And discover my level is that of no other
    And Roots crew reign official and true while I'm continuin' to
    Never do what they do, what they do, what they do
