You see yourself in the mirror
And you feel safe ‘cause it looks familiar
But you afraid to open up your soul
‘Cause you don’t really know, don’t really know
Who he is, the person that’s deep within.
-Black Eyed Peas’ Gone Going
Sometimes I just feel like quittin’ I still might
Some days I just wanna up and call it quits,
I feel like I’m surrounded by a wall of bricks,
Every time I go to get up I just fall in piss,
My life’s like one great big ball of shit,
If I could just put it all in all I spit,
Instead I always try to swallow it,
Instead of staring at this wall and shit,
While I sit, writers block, sick of all this shit,
Can’t call it shit.
-Eminem’s Run Rabbit Run
They say you are what you eat, so I strive to be healthy
My goal in life is not to be rich or wealthy
‘cause true wealth comes from good health, and wise ways
-Dead Prez’ Be Healthy
And no, we can’t escape from the realness
Happiness is all in the mind
Let’s unwind, and find a reason to smile
I’m just glad to be alive
Feelin’ fine
Livin’ life one day at a time
Dead Prez’ Happines
What you know is who you are. Who are you?
Do you know who you are in the world? What is your world view?
What do you go through? What has your life showed you?
What are you learnin’ in this so called life?
Do you have principle or do you blow with the wind?
Do you wanna be free but don’t know where to begin?
-Dead Prez’s Ghetto Youths (Ft. Stephen Marley)
After all of the darkness and sadness,
Still comes happiness,
If I surround myself with positive things,
I’ll gain prosperity.
-Destiny’s Child’s Survivor
…Theres way too much at stake for me to be fake.
There’s too much on my plate.
And I came way too far in this game to turn and walk away
And not say what I got to say.
-Eminem’s When the Music Stops
