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

Tennis – Runner

Runner, I know you’re living with a wild hunger
Let me make the most of us
You know you’ll never be a runner
And leave me in a cloud of dust
Living in the same old sin
I feel it blowing in the wind
Like manna in the desert, oh
Gonna take a miracle

N.E.R.D – Provider

Goodbye, beloved one
Do you know what I am?
If you don’t see my face no more
I’m a provider, girl, gotta face the streets tonight
Goodbye, beloved one
Do you know what I am?
If you don’t see my face no more
I’m a rider, girl, gotta face the streets tonight

Kanye West – Champion

Did you realize
That you were a champion in their eyes?

Yes I did
So I packed it up and brought it back to the crib
Just a little something, show you how we live
Everybody want it but it ain’t that serious
Mhm, that’s that shit
So if you gon’ do it, do it just like this

Ed Sheeran – Thinking Out Loud

When your legs don’t work like they used to before
And I can’t sweep you off of your feet
Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love?
Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks?
And darling, I will be loving you till we’re seventy
And baby, my heart could still fall as hard at twenty-three
And I’m thinking ’bout how

People fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe just the touch of a hand
Well me, I fall in love with you every single day
I just wanna tell you I am

So honey, now, take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart, I’m thinking out loud
And maybe we found love right where we are

JACKBOYS & Sheck Wes – GANG GANG

I’m with the gang, gang, gang, gang, BOYS hoppin’ out of coupes (Gang)
I’m switching’ lanes tryna maintain, duckin’ boys in the blue (Zoo)
I see you holdin’ out on my change, I’m needin’ all of the loot (Ching-ching)
When I’m ridin’ off on my side, best believe I got the scoop (Scoop)
I could make a hundred right now, give it all to the troops (Troops)
Whole squad got the juice (Yeah), send a stain like a flute (Yeah)
Whole squad goin’ up, JACKBOYS on the loose

Shine On Top – Surfaces

Even if the sun goes down on you
You gotta keep that shine on top yeah
On top yeah
On top yeah
And even if the sun goes down on you
You gotta keep that shine on top yeah
On top yeah
On top yeah
I’m cruising, through the city
Had to get outside, it couldn’t get anymore pretty
I’m moving, who’s coming with me?
Swerving on my bike, making twenty feel like fifty
Man they miss me, aye, got the pedal moving swiftly
Vibe like sons and I had raise em strictly
Wishing, I could always stay this way, aye
Chilling by the bay, had to make me say that

Billie Eilish – WHEN I WAS OLDER

I’m on my back again
Dreaming of a time and place
Where you and I remain the best of friends
Even after all this ends
Can we pretend?
I’m on my, I’m on my back again
It’s seeming more and more
Like all we ever do is see how far it bends
Before it breaks in half and then
We bend it back again

A$AP Ferg – Value

Who am I? (Trap Lord), ayy
Look at me, look at me now (Trap Lord)
Look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me now, ayy (Trap Lord), yeah
Look at me, look at me now (Trap Lord)
Look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me now

Steve Miller Band – Fly Like an Eagle

Time keeps on slippin’, slippin’, slippin’
Into the future
Time keeps on slippin’, slippin’, slippin’
Into the future
I wanna fly like an eagle
To the sea
Fly like an eagle
Let my spirit carry me
I want to fly like an eagle
‘Till I’m free
Oh, Lord, through the revolution

No Doubt – Different People

He and she, two different people
With two separate lives
Then you put the two together
And get a spectacular surprise
Cause one can teach the other one
What she doesn’t know
While still the other fills a place inside
He never knew had room to grow
Grow grow

One Direction – Live While We’re Young

Let’s go crazy, crazy, crazy ’til we see the sun
I know we only met but let’s pretend it’s love
And never, never, never stop for anyone
Tonight let’s get some and live while we’re young
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh)
And live while we’re young
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh)
Tonight let’s get some
And live while we’re young

Lauren Daigle – Look Up Child

Where are You now
When darkness seems to win
Where are You now
When the world is crumbling

Oh, I, I
I hear You say
I hear You say

Look up child
Look up child

Jeezy- Air Forces

I went from old school Chevys, to drop-top Porsches
You couldn’t walk a mile off in my Air Forces
And you ain’t seen what I’ve seen
I can get a hundred thousand in these Sean John jeans
I went from old school Chevys, to drop top Porsches
And you ain’t did what I did
If you from where I’m from you gotta get how you live

The Beatles – The End

And in the end
The love you take
Is equal to the love you make

Phillip Phillips – Midnight Sun

Look how time has changed
The cracks in our skin
Oh my friend
Let go of the fear that’s inside your head
So stay strong live on
And chase the midnight sun
When the ceiling falls and there’s no one watching
We can build again to more than what we
Once could dream
We’re bigger than we seem

Sugar Ray – Speed Home California

Can’t take this anymore, got my head down on the floor
My brain is burning inside of my head
Can’t speak the word and my face is blue
And I wanna get back to the arms of you
Wanna get back
I gotta get back to my…

Speed home california
Speed home california
Speed home california
Speed home california

Bruce Springsteen – Dream Baby Dream

We got to keep the light burning
Come on, we got to keep the light burning
Come on, we got to keep the light burning
Come on, we got to keep the light burning
Come on and dream baby dream

Yasiin Bey – Hip Hop

You say “one for the treble, two for the time”
Come on, y’all, let’s rock this!
You say “one for the treble, two for the time”
Come on!
Speech is my hammer, bang the world into shape
Now let it fall, (huh!)

Trevor Daniel – Falling

My last made me feel like I would never try again
But when I saw you, I felt something I never felt
Come closer, I’ll give you all my love
If you treat me right, baby, I’ll give you everything

Mariah Carey – Portrait

Where do I go from here?
How do I disappear?
Here beyond the looking glass
Somewhere off the beaten path
Heartache never seems to pass, just lasts
And I’d go

Harry Styles – Adore You

You don’t have to say you love me
You don’t have to say nothing
You don’t have to say you’re mine

Honey (Ah-ah-ah)
I’d walk through fire for you
Just let me adore you
Oh, honey (Ah-ah-ah)
I’d walk through fire for you
Just let me adore you
Like it’s the only thing I’ll ever do
Like it’s the only thing I’ll ever do

Mac Miller – Everybody’s Gotta Live

Everybody’s gotta live, and everybody’s gonna die
Everybody just wanna have a good, good time
I think you know the reason why
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Frank Sinatra Ft. Count Basie – Fly Me to the Moon

Fly me to the moon
Let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On a, Jupiter and Mars
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, baby, kiss me
Fill my heart with song
And let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, I love you
Fill my heart with song
Let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, in other words
I love you

Selena Gomez – Rare

Baby
You’ve been so distant from me lately
And lately
Don’t even wanna call you “baby”

Justin Bieber – Yummy

Bona fide stallion
Ain’t in no stable, no, you stay on the run
Ain’t on the side, you’re number one
Yeah, every time I come around, you get it done (You get it done)

Jon Bellion – Crop Circles

When did thoughts of wedding rings
Become just stranger things?
I’m in the upside down
We used to dance around the apartment
Now our footprints in the carpet are just crop circles, crop circles

Roddy Ricch – The Box

Pullin’ out the coupe at the lot
Told ’em f… 12, f… SWAT
Bustin’ all the bales out the box
I just hit a lick with the box
Had to put the stick in a box, mmh
Pour up the whole damn seal, I’ma get lazy
I got the mojo deals, we been trappin’ like the ’80s
