[Solomon’s Child (formerly known as Killa Bamz)]
Yeah, Soloman marked for life, a million to life
Thug for life, forever eyein the kid

Regulation party, daddy hard body
Rowdy Brighton God-body
Smooth like a leather bop, ’83 hip-hop
Top of the world, get it rizzight
Big to your wizzife, murder cats for the right prizzice
Four-hundred and fifty-six on the dizzice
This is real lizzife, ain’t nothin sweet God
Sit down and think it through God
Cuz comin all outta ya face’ll get ya clap God

[Girl]
You are now listening to the sounds of Supreme Clientele

[Intro: Raekwon]
Uh-huh, what up son? Yeah
Maintaining, maintaining, you know?
You good, right? Everything proper, still, right?
Of course, come on, man, what’s the matter wit you, man?
Ain’t nothing, I just want us to be on

[Chorus: Method Man]
Tell a friend, it’s that symbol again, that W
Coming through, bust a shot on your block, give me a suu
Get it right, all my chicks hold ya t-ts, let’s get it in
All my n—as take a toke off this weed, let it begin
Here we go, yo, ya’ll already know what it do
Brand new, n—a, back from the slums, it be the Wu
Now throw ya W’s up, back from the slums, it be the Wu

[Raekwon]
You know how to dress a lad, get rocked, hundred bags, black doorags
Ski masks is on, g-rags
N—a try to take pictures, relax, still in the grass
You’ll learn respect, burst when I ask
Rhyme master busy, Rizzy on the subject
Love Deck, thug buried, drug vest, snub sets, killing the most
Night time toast, gorillas in boats, three boats
Realers is killa, gangsta feel notes
Hibernation yo, switch up, liver nation, fly information
Vivid vacation, deliberation moments
Move like ’91 Romans, cloning everything
Gents only, the rent’s on the stove, I’m in Rome
Maxed out, Amex style, my team brand bandits
Make a move and get blown off the planet, baby
Hold that cannon, just understand we got the whole s–t
Padlocked down, my n—as won’t have it

Going back to the start…

Haven’t done one of these in some time.

Sometimes you have to look at the things you know, the recurrent themes, both good and bad, make a choice of what you want, and not always wait for things to fall into place the way you expect, or thing they should.

Just a general arching theme, not about a specific event, situation, etc. just a step back moment and look back at the chances, opportunities, “blessings,” and the such. Simply that. And the realization, that no one else can set the path.

And rebuilding your iTunes playlists…sucks, sorry, had to add that.
