[Q-Tip]
One-two, one-two, keep it on
Listen to the s–t because we kick it ’til dawn
Listen to the Abstract, got it going on
Listen to the ladies, come on and let me spawn
On your eggs, then you go up the river
Listen to the abstract, that freaky n—a

[Ad Rock]
Now I’m Ad Rock and I shock and I tick and I tock
And I can’t stop with the body rock

[Mike D]
See, I’ve got heart like John Starks
Hitting mad sparks
Pass me the mic and I’ll be rockin’ the whole park

[MCA]
Well, I’m the M to the C to the A and it’s a must
The rhymes that we bust on the topic of lust

[Q-Tip]
And my Moms is not butt, but f–k it
Let me get down to the rhythm
Yes, I get funky and I’m shooting all my jism
Like John Holmes, the X-rated n—-r
Listen to the s–t cause I am the ill figure
Nobody’s getting any bigger than this

*Get it together*
Get…
Phone is ringing, oh my God
*Get it together, see what’s happening*

I woke up with this song on repeat in my head, therefore it’s today’s theme song.


The manuscript Blue Lines is the fictional coming of age narrative of a young California woman Key Yemaya Walker, and her 2 year growing journey through school, love, and life period piece, written by Kenneth Suffern, Jr., taking place at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill between the years of 1997 – 1998. Loosely based on true events, and experiences during that time, told through the eyes and voice of the main female protagonist, a freshman first attending the school.

[Jay-Z]
Mmm, you don’t understand now be..cause you’re cryin, and you hurt
You’ll understand soon enough.. soon enough

[Singer overlaps Jay-Z]
Let him hold you, let him touch you
Soon you’ll un-der-stand

[Jay-Z]
You’re my best friend’s sister, grown woman and all
But you see how I am around girls; I ruin ’em all
Plus your mom call me son, around you since I was small
S–t I watched you mature – nah, this ain’t right
But still when your boyfriend ditched you, life’s a b—h you cried
Over my right shoulder I told you to wipe your eyes
Take your time when you likin a guy
Cause if he sense that your feelings too intense, it’s pimp or die
I bought you earrings on your birthday
Drove you to college your first day
It must be sad, though it hurts to say
We could never be a item, don’t even like him
You deserve better – this is ugly; Gina, please don’t love me
There’s better guys out there other than me
(You need a lawyer or a doctor or somebody like that you know)
Like a lawyer or a doctor with a Ph.D
Think of how upset your mother and brother would be
if they found that you was huggin me
My conscience is f–kin with me

“…casually I dress while addressing her majesty…”
This song seems wintery and like new beginnings…2011!!!


Can we transform? Revelations born from the madness / Ashes to ashes, no more classics ,
Rap has become, so pornographic / When life has become something never imagined,
Passions pass, new feelings emerge / Emotions, flying in the sky with the birds,
Where’s hope when we need it? / Quotes they compete get us higher than that dope that we chief,
Where’s focus when functions retreat to the soul? / It’s a black hole moguls, following them,
Role models in bottles of belief keep swallowing / Drowning in the shallow end deep,
Told we can climb ounces of belief / Where’s peace when you need it?
Visions of the meek in the jungle and humble / As the sheep make you wonder why you speak when you’re spoken to,
Feel something holding you back, you want to throw the truth / The lies fly, it’s like time used to wonder what makes the wise wise,
Had to visualize in surprises / Nothing that them eyes have ever seen,
Hold up, is this a dream? / Some blacked out after the last bout I hatched out all of my issues and put a mag out,
Crashed through the glass house, some took the back route / I had to travel lightspeed to dodge that black cloud,
Raining on my parade / Sun shining but it ain’t enough shade,
To hide, the game blind I played / Silly games and too many charades,
Maskless in this masquerade / Came conquered never saw,
Raising hell hoping heaven falls / Took the “L” but I never lost,
Stepping off the axis / Balancing the galaxy,
Realizing facts are hidden behind reality / Casually I dress while addressing her majesty,
Flirting passably to other palaces surrounding me / Once crowned king humble down to the queen,
Gave my kingdom up / Became a mortal man walking Earth seeking love / Woe is me, I still believe,
Openly speaking it deviant in this woolen form of poetry / Took leadership brain cells just too close to see,
Obedient never winning hope it’s known to be me / Got free now they rope in your dreams,
With a gold chain, pimp striped suit and a code name / Sweater under leather trying to tell her it’s a cold game,
And I don’t mean it won’t change
