A new photo and hip-hop lyric, everyday. All photos taken by Karlyle. Enjoy!

Choker – Juno

Me me me
That’s all we know
Me me me
That’s all we know
You might think you do
But I bet you don’t
You might think you do
But I bet you don’t

Eminem – Infinite

I never packed a tool or acted cool, it wasn’t practical
I’d rather let a tactical, tactful track tickle your fancy

Gavin DeGraw – I Don’t Want to Be

I don’t wanna be
Anything other than what I’ve been tryna be lately
All I have to do is think of me, and I have peace of mind
I’m tired of looking ’round rooms
Wondering what I’ve gotta do
Or who I’m supposed to be
I don’t wanna be anything other than me

Yeat – If We Being Rëal

I had to let a little off, yeah
I had to cut the pill off, yeah
But if we bein’ real though, yeah
Nah, I don’t never feel nothin’ (Yeah, yeah)

Kanye West & André 3000 – Life Of The Party

Maybe she has in the form of a baby’s laugh
I heard passing by in a stroller remindin’ me, “Hey, keep rolling”
I don’t know, maybe she has with a prick of a blade of grass
I’ve been layin’ on way too long, got me itchy
Got up and roamed a lil’ more

Joji – Sanctuary

If you’ve been waitin’ for fallin’ in love
Babe, you don’t have to wait on me
‘Cause I’ve been aimin’ for Heaven above
But an angel ain’t what I need

Future – PLUTOSKI

I don’t even know what she is
I just took care of the bill

LUNA – The Tower

I’m the one who built the tower
I’m the one who holds the power
So come on, rise up, shout it louder
I’m the one who built the tower

The Beach Boys – Our Car Club

I’ve been cruising ’round the town, now
With the guys for quite a while
Oh, we been thinking about starting up a club
That shows some class and style
And we’ll get the finest cars

John Cale – Style It Takes

You’ve got the money, I’ve got the time
You want your freedom, make your freedom mine
‘Cause I’ve got the style it takes
And money is all that it takes

Donovan – Museum

I drink sweet wine for breakfast
Slept about an hour or so
Smiled a little in the silence
Deciding on where to go

“Meet me under the whale
In the Natural History Museum”
I think that’s what she said
A little bit sad about having to leave them

The Script – Breakeven

‘Cause I got time while she got freedom
‘Cause when a heart breaks, no, it don’t break even

Joyce Wrice – Blurred Lines

What are we trying to say?
What if we do what comes to mind?
And whatever we’re trying to say
Hope it don’t blur these
Lines
Lines

Morgan Wallen Ft. HARDY – In The Bible

Backroads and cold beer are my down-home prayer
Can’t get no closer to the Man upstairs
Than way out there, where the river runs
Lord knows I’d be one hell of a disciple
If bein’ country was in the Bible
Hallelujah, amen
Heaven blessed this life I live
Hallelujah, amen, amen

Drake – No Face

I don’t get sleepy off no melatonin
My therapist put in a thirty-day notice
‘Cause I keep on talkin’ ’bout beefin’ and business and money and women, there’s no diagnosis

Ne-Yo Ft. Juicy J- She Knows

Said I know she loves the attention
That she get when she moves
Showin’ out with her home girls
And she got me watching too, girl

Willie Nelson – On the Road Again

On the road again
Just can’t wait to get on the road again
The life I love is making music with my friends
And I can’t wait to get on the road again

On the road again
Goin’ places that I’ve never been
Seein’ things that I may never see again
And I can’t wait to get on the road again

LOONY – raw

Lights may burn brighter at night
But I can’t see nothing that I like
The night we don’t need to hide behind
I love you most in the daylight

Amber Mark Ft. DRAM – Put You On

From LES way to uptown
My Dominicani diamond know the way I get down
See, I’m the big bass, long dreads, big braids
On my way to you, Bedstuy, J train
Riding L-I-TT ’cause she rep Long Island
Shout out Big Diss
My Muslim brother in Harlem
Took me to the fifth spot
Where I begged for your pardon
Then I gave you my number
And I’m glad that you called it

Lil Dicky – Ally’s Song

I chased my dream so much, it ran
I can’t make jokes without your laugh, it seems

Child Rebel Soldier Ft. Lupe Fiasco, Thom Yorke, Kanye West, Pharrell – Us Placers

Lifestyles of the rich and famous
Bought a big house and a whole lot of Ranges
A fresh new couch and a whole lot of trainers
A closet full of clothes and some brand new dangers
And, some Mexican floral arrangers
A great big TV that’ll entertain us
Some colorful commissions from some high-paid painters
Someone to take the rap so that I stay stainless
And, a new relationship with a banker
And two pinky rings for my manicured fingers
A trained German Shepherd that bark when it’s angered
To watch my possessions and look out for strangers
And, a fifty-foot yacht with an anchor
A young supermodel that shall remain nameless
Ups and the downs, the sames and the changes
All the money in the world don’t make it painless, no
