The idea behind this thread is to post songs that you are just really feeling right now. I'm going to try to keep it to one song a day. Please include lyrics. Here is my first entry: I've been wasting This fucking year on The idea of getting up and moving on But I wait around Just emptying bottles - in the basement of the slovak center on my side of town It's a major fucking bummer Because I feel nothing Like my father He's been sleeping underground Don't wait around There's nothing there at all There's nothing, but the end You're not awake Tell me, tell me the things that I'll never have So, I'll just stay home I'm talking to you You're not awake Tell me, tell me the things that I'll never have You're fucking gone Tonight, tonight I feel nothing Like my father He's been sleeping Underground
Quality thread. Hinder - Better Than Me I think you can do much better than me After all the lies that I made you believe Guilt kicks in and I start to see The edge of the bed where your nightgown used to be I told myself I won't miss you But I remembered What it feels like beside you I really miss your hair in my face And the way your innocence tastes And I think you should know this You deserve much better than me While looking through your old box of notes I found those pictures I took that you were looking for If there's one memory I don't want to lose That time at the mall - you and me in the dressing room I told myself I won't miss you But I remembered What it feels like beside you I really miss your hair in my face And the way your innocence tastes And I think you should know this You deserve much better than me The bed I'm lying in is getting colder Wish I never would've said it's over And I can't pretend I won't think about you when I'm older 'Cause we never really had our closure This can't be the end I really miss your hair in my face And the way your innocence tastes And I think you should know this You deserve much better than me I really miss your hair in my face And the way your innocence tastes And I think you should know this You deserve much better than me (And I think you should know this) You deserve much better than me (And I think you should know this) You deserve much better than me (And I think you should know this) You deserve much better than me (And I think you should know this)
Thanks man! I appreciate your post. Good call on the italics. I forgot to mention that instrumental music is also welcome. Not all feeling can be put into words. Once said to self What’s made is old Let it Word in your mouth Or to share Alone again Don’t say I’ll learn The choice is yours Or decide You're wrong To paraphrase the line Quit it Break your bond: Alone again Don’t say I’ll learn The choice is yours
Lecrae (the other guy in my avi) ft. Leon Bridges [Hook: Leon Bridges] I've come a long way From a very hard place It's been a hard race But somehow I found my way home I've walked a long road To where only God knows But when the trumpet blows you know I did it all on my own [Post-Hook] Oh-oh-oh-oh Ohhhhhh Oh-oh-oh-oh Ohhhhhh [Verse 1: Lecrae] I've been pushing hard I've been praying harder Only Heaven can help me They took my earthly father Martyred and promised me death Then walked me into my grave I'd rather die a free man then live on Earth a slave I'm fighting for people they put in chains They stripped our heritage, they took our names Put our women to shame Whipped us and beat us, mislead us But they can't take our passion Take my body but my soul won't fit inside your casket [Bridge: Leon Bridges] Forget what I said, forget what I did I did what I had to do and I'd do it all again And if you're going through hell Keep it going, my baby promise that Heaven is near [Hook: Leon Bridges] I've come a long way From a very hard place It's been a hard race But somehow I found my way home I've walked a long road To where only God knows But when the trumpet blows you know I did it all on my own [Post-Hook] Oh-oh-oh-oh Ohhhhhh Oh-oh-oh-oh Ohhhhhh [Verse 2: Lecrae] Taken from Africa Treated like animals Culturally denigrated Broke up our families Prison of false religion, the same God you lied on The same God I rely on, I'ma strive on Alone just a small tribe Fought for truth for y'all, died Martyrs live forever so Out the depths we all rise Die for a freedom that I'll never see I pray y'all live it to the fullest for my legacy Let's go [Bridge: Leon Bridges] Forget what I said, forget what I did I did what I had to do and I'd do it all again And if you're going through hell Keep it going, my baby promise that Heaven is near [Hook: Leon Bridges] I've come a long way From a very hard place It's been a hard race But somehow I found my way home I've walked a long road To where only God knows But when the trumpet blows you know I did it all on my own [Outro] Oh-oh-oh-oh Ohhhhhh I did it all on my own Oh-oh-oh-oh Ohhhhhh I did it all on my own
"The Long Defeat" The tyranny of deterioration It worries me that it's all just a waste of time Taking one step forward, two steps back Still I believe there's a thread through the thorns And I believe that somewhere it's warm And I believe that it's ever bright beyond this black So keep holding on to hope without assurance Holding on to a memory of light But will the morning come? For all I know We’ll never see the sun, but together we’ll fight the long defeat The suffering that I see all around It's enough to keep me crashing down till I I lie wrecked and reeling from these falls Still I believe there's a word in the wire And I believe there's a way through the fire And I believe there's a joy that blooms beyond these walls So keep holding on to hope without assurance Holding on to a memory of light But will the morning come? For all I know We’ll never see the sun, but together we’ll fight the long defeat "I Just Wanna Know" Only time you ever call me is when you feelin’ like don't nobody else wanna listen When’s the last time you saw me You probably don’t remember that ’cause that was back then you were different I don’t wanna hear the sorry’s I’m tired of all the talkin’ to be honest I would rather see a difference Yeah, you pass me in the hallway But you ain’t say a word to me Lately all I ever feel is distant You don’t care that you lost me What’s wrong with ya Had a picture of you sittin’ on the dash in the car with me Now it’s in my closet with the other ones sittin’ in a box I don’t wanna open up You took it all from me Told me you would die for me Yeah, all you ever do is lie to me Wish that I could say that this has come as surprise see to me Told me that I never took the time and now you ain’t got the time for me Yeah I just wanna know oh, oh, oh, oh When did you get so cold oh, oh, oh What happened to your soul oh oh oh Don’t you see me We used to talk like best friends I remember that I guess I don’t know what happened to us Now you got me questionin’ what trust is You told me you would be there for me Yeah, but you ain’t really mean it did ya Now you wanna jump ship Leave me here alone Well, I’m used to it Everybody else did Who you havin’ fun with Don’t tell me I don't wanna know every time I ask I just feel sick You're the one that jumped in Told me you had some feelins Now you tryin’ to tell me that is not true I ain’t gotta clue Who I’m lookin’ at right now, but I know the person that I’m lookin’ at is not you Yeah They say that you are who you hang with Maybe that’s the reason you been changin’ Maybe that’s the reason why I’m feelin’ like you’re dangerous And every time we talk it’s like I’m talkin’ to a stranger I just wanna know oh, oh, oh, oh When did you get so cold oh, oh, oh What happened to your soul oh oh oh Don’t you see me I thought that we were close oh, oh But now that door is closed oh, oh When did we lose control oh, oh, oh Guess you don’t need me I just wanna know oh, oh, oh, oh When did you get so cold oh, oh, oh What happened to your soul oh oh oh Don’t you see me I thought that we were close oh, oh But now that door is closed oh, oh When did we lose control oh, oh, oh Guess you don’t need me

I can see the darkness in me and its quite amazing Life and death is no mystery and I wanna taste it Step inside of my mind and you'll find Curiosity, animosity, high philosophy like the prophesied meditation Reminisce on my wonder years and I wonder yah Sentiments of my words ain't been so sincere The sentiment of my nerves that I just persevere The big thought of fallin' off disappeared to my fate They say that Heaven's real Analyze my demise, I say I'm super anxious Recognize I deprive this fear and then embrace it Vandalizing these walls only if they could talk Conversations don't contemplate to my dark thoughts Lookin' down on my soul now Tell me I'm in control now Tell me I can live long and I can live wrong and I can live right And I can sing songs and I can unite with you that I love, you that I like Look at my life and tell me I fight This that final destination, this that find some information This that find some inspiration, this that crack, the instillation This that consciousness sharpening and fist pump and that bomb detonation Please don't bomb my nation, embalming fluid waiting I got mind control when I'm here, you gon' hate me when I'm gone Ain't no blood pumpin' no fear, I got hope inside of my bones This that life beyond your own life, this say this go for mankind This that outer-body experience, no coincidence you been died You are dead Say you will never ever catch me, no, no, no Say you will never ever catch me, no, no, no Say you will never ever catch me, no, no, no Say you will never ever catch me, no, no, no
J.cole is my favorite artist, knew him since 2009 and him signing Bas was a great move... amazing song.
J. Cole is in my top 3 favourite rappers fshure. Friday Night Lights is defiantly my favourite mixtape. And I agree Signing Bas to DreamVille was huge. I went to his concert last summer it was beyond dope.
@Freeee I'm probably one of the few people who still buys physical albums but I like to collect lol Here's some of my DreamVille CD's I got including the warm up that I got back in 09. I've been offered a lot of money for it but I'm keeping this in the vault.
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOO how do you have the warm up on cd !?!? are you kidding me ?! lol... you blew me away with that one. I still buy cd's too, I have all J.cole's albums as well. I listen to alot of instrumentals though, but the artist that I "LISTEN" to mainly are J.cole , Anderson Paak , and Common .
That was back when I was like 16 or 17 lol I had to beeegggg my moms for it lol like I was literally screaming please ahaha. And the funny thing is I still vividly remember it being the last one in Best Buy. But yeah Cole released physical copies of The come up, the warm up and Friday night lights. It's really rare to find physical of any of those mixtapes right now. And I mean legit ones from DreamVille. They had to stop selling it because of some BS law suit but I'm glad I got mine lol I love everything about the warm up. Even the art work in the case ahhh just opening it right now brings memories. And I love common!! I honestly haven't checked out Anderson Paak but I've been hearing nothing but good things from him. Ima check out his ish right now on Spotify. My top 3 are Lecrae, J. Cole and Nipsey Hussle. And it's dope you buy CD's too. I feel like within the younger generation it's looked at as something dumb to do because you can stream music for free but I love collecting dope music.
"The Things That Hate Us" See I come from a time where they didn't put rear view mirrors on passenger sides of vehicles And this is for those that still drink malt liquor Put the poison in your body just to pass out quicker When death calls best believe it's gonna get all emotional Because I ain't goin' to hell without my menthols Damn cable TV got me trapped in Girls actin' dumb and cops beatin' black men Overfill, overkill, tryin' to deal Call the toll free and order my some diet pills Got me looking at the sugar in the Kool-Aid that you made You need to chase it down with some toothpaste Still stuck to the simple things yep the struggle in between a couple of krispy kremes I have to ask if you could pass that half and half to get my coffee back on track Big ups to all the carbonated hiccups the energy drinks and the suicide big gulps Gonna find happiness in the fast food Supersize the triple bypass heart attack too Distract you with these colorful tattoos to cover up the fact that we feel like bad news [Chorus] We love the things that hate us Push snooze again girl I don't want to wake up America the beautiful that's how she played us Wasn't that cute it must have been her make up Trying to grab everything that she gave us Just take it back in the math on that pay stub Lookin' at the neighbors like wait up We love the things that hate us Pain killers help find some feeling Crack the vic in half just to break the time sealant Take it by yourself on the living room carpet Do a little bump just to clean your apartment ? I've seen your wife she's not the true finest? I understand why you like to pay them prostitutes Strip clubs gun shops oh Jesus right next to the liquor store for your convenience Everybody say ho for the cuervo You can drive if you promise to be careful Turn the radio up and light a doobie And keep acting like life is like a movie This is for those needles you share because Those after school TV specials is too square Cook the coke for your own consumption ? All some joe joe dems? In old school What's your function As American as herpes and hot dogs Got lost between the mustard and the hot sauce Unprotected sex with that one you just met You ain't even got all your hep shots yet [Chorus] ------------------- "Drug Dealer" (with Ryan Lewis) (feat. Ariana DeBoo) [Macklemore:] They said it wasn't a gateway drug My homie was takin' subs and he ain't wake up The whole while, these billionaires, stay caked up Paying out congress so we take their drugs Murderers who will never face the judge And we dancin' to a song about our face goin' numb But I seen homies turn grey, noses draining blood I could've been gone, out 30's, faded in that tub That's Prince, Michael and Whitney, that's Amy, Ledger and Pimp C That's Yams, that's DJ A.M God damn they're making a killing Now it's getting attention cause Sara, Katey and Billy But this shit's been going one from Seattle out to South Philly It just moved out about the city And spread out to the 'burbs Now it's everybody's problem, got a nation on the verge Take Activis off the market, jack the price up on the syrup But Purdue Pharma's 'bout to move that work [Ariana DeBoo:] My drug dealer was a doctor, doctor Had the plug from Big Pharma, Pharma He said that he would heal me, heal me But he only gave me problems, problems My drug dealer was a doctor, doctor Had the plug from Big Pharma, Pharma I think he trying to kill me, kill me He tried to kill me for a dollar, dollar [Macklemore:] And these devil's they keep on talkin' to me They screamin' "open the bottle," I wanna be at peace My hand is gripping that throttle, I'm running out of speed Tryin' close my eyes but I keep sweatin' through these sheets, through these sheets Four horseman, they won't let me forget I wanna forge a prescription, cause doctor I need some more of it When morphine and heroin is more of your a budget I said I'd never use a needle, but sure, fuck it I'm caught up, I'm on one, I'm nauseous No options, exhausted This is not what I started Walkin' carcass, I lost everything I wanted My blinds drawn, too gone to leave this apartment [Ariana DeBoo:] My drug dealer was a doctor, doctor Had the plug from Big Pharma, Pharma He said that he would heal me, heal me But he only gave me problems, problems My drug dealer was a doctor, doctor Had the plug from Big Pharma, Pharma I think he trying to kill me, kill me He tried to kill me for a dollar, dollar [Macklemore:] More, more, more Re-up, re-up Death certificate signed the prenup Ain't no coming back from this percocet Actavis, ambien, adderral, x-anax binge Best friends with the thing that's killing me Enemies with my best friend, there's no healing me Refilling these, refilling these They say it's death, death Institutions and DOC's So God grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change Courage to change the things I can And the wisdom to know the difference And the wisdom to know the difference This song by Macklemore hit home for me. I wish I never tried Percocets. I also like this track because it has so much of his raw style he had when he was underground.
Is this song satanic ? I duno. Listen to this song in the middle of the night is like peaceful lullaby
I am a prisoner in a war of idiots The stomping feet of waltzing hypocrites (Stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp) Pave the way of a brave tomorrow Choke the throat of passion and sorrow Kill my drifting breeze of thought I have been captured I have been caught I am a prisoner in a war of scowls, coughing youth from its bowels Pave the way of a brave tomorrow Choke the throat of passion and sorrow Kill my drifting breeze of thought I have been captured I have been caught I am doing fine I am doing well Deep inside my dark well cell I am doing fine I am doing well Deep inside my dark well cell
