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

Offset – Red Room

I’m a maniac go crazy for the cash (Hey, brazy)
Green Lamborghini, paper tags (Skrrt, skrrt)

Nipsey Hussle – Hussle & Motivate

Ain’t really trip on the credit, I just paid all of my dues
I just respected the game, now my name all in the news
Trippin’ on all of my moves, quote me on this, got a lot more to prove
‘Member I came in this b…., fresh out the county with nothin’ to lose

Beach Fossils – Social Jetlag

You say that you want me here
And I found the door
Then you open up my hand
Where you wanna go

Can we start all our time over again
Can we start all our time over again

Make our way up to the roof
Been awake for days
In the shadow of the night
I wanna fade away

Can we start all our time over again
Can we start all our time over again

Burna Boy – Ye

But my people dem go say
I no want kpai, I no want die
I no want kpeme, I want enjoy
I want chop life, I want buy motor
I want build house, I still want turn up
Tell me, tell me

Rick Ross Ft. John Legend – Magnificent

Swimmin’ in women, champagne sippin’
Gold emblem with, two M’s in it (ha-hah)
This pimpin’ is so magnificent
Stop dreamin’ it, I’m livin’ it!

Sinéad Harnett Ft. GRADES – If You Let Me

I’ll love you like I’ve never, ever loved somebody
I’ll give you things you didn’t even know you wanted
Don’t tell me that it’s not enough
My time is up, you’re over us
‘Cause I think I might do anything for you
If you just let me, if you just let me
If you just let me, just let me

Sebastian Mikael – Time

I can spend all day out if you want
I can take you places, wanna come?
And I can spend all day until you’re down
‘Cause for you, I got time, time, time
We ain’t gotta ever see the sun
I got everything to turn you on
We can go all day until you’re down
‘Cause for you, I got time, time, time

Marshmello & Kane Brown – One Thing Right

I’ve been at the wrong place at the wrong time
Chasin’ all the wrong things most of my life
Been every kinda lost that you can’t find
But I got one thing right
Been the kinda guy girls mamas don’t like
Runnin’ with the wrong crowd on the wrong nights
’Cause I’ve been wrong about a million times
But I got one thing right, you

Brenda Holloway – You’ve Made Me So Very Happy

I lost at love before
Gave up and closed the door
But you said try just once more

I chose you for the one
Now I’m having so much fun
You treated me so kind
I’m about to lose my mind

You made me so very happy
I’m so glad you came into my life

Arrested Development – People Everyday

See I was resting at the park minding my own
Business as I kick up the treble tone
On my radio tape player box, right
Just loud enough so folks could hear it’s hype, see?
Outta nowhere comes the woman I’m dating
Investigation maybe she was demonstrating
But nevertheless I was pleased
My day was going great and my soul was at ease

Princess Nokia – Sugar Honey Iced Tea (S.H.I.T)

You must have time on your hands
‘Cause all the time you been hatin’
I know you’re mad that I’m famous
I know you’re mad that I made it
When all the time you been hatin’
You could’ve turned into something
Sometimes it works out for people
Sometimes it really just doesn’t

Teyana Taylor – Gonna Love Me

I wanna spend my nights with you
My life with you, oh baby, babe
Please wait up for me ’til whenever I get home
I know that you’re all alone
Thinking ’bout what you’re gon’ do
I hope that you see it through, ooh, ooh

Brittany Howard – Stay High

‘Cause where I come from
Everybody frowns and walks around
With that ugly thing on their face
And where I come from
We work hard and grind and hustle all day
(Yes, we do)
There comes a time, there comes a time
At night, where we get to play
And we smile and laugh and jump and clap
And yell and holler and just feel great

Rhye – Open

I want to make this play
Oh, I know you’re faded
Hmm, but stay, don’t close your hands
I want to make this play
Oh, I know you’re faded
Hmm, but stay, don’t close your hands

Caught in this pool held in your eyes
Caught like a fool without a line
We’re in a natural spring
With this gentle sting between us

Nipsey Hussle Ft The Dream – Million While You Young

And I’m actually gonna get right into it
And your really wanna know how?
You know how can I blaze my own path?
Uh, how can I be successful?
Um, how can I follow the path
That someone else has laid for me to be successful?

Maggie Rogers – Burning

Oh, I was reckless, once was breathless
Running from that day I snapped
But I’ve got a feeling and keep believing
I’m never gonna give this back

DaBaby – VIBEZ

Book the hotel, take the vibes in

Mandy Moore – When I Wasn’t Watching

A little lost, a little rough
I asked myself, “Have you had enough?”
How do I start to retrace the steps
I haven’t even taken yet
The fear of what I’m facing in the mirror
Stops me cold and leaves me here
A little lost, a little rough
The lack of answers all led up

Lana Del Rey – Looking For America

Took a trip to San Francisco
All  our friends said we would jive
Didn’t  work, so I left for Fresno
It was quite a scenic drive
Pulled over to watch the children in the park
We  used to only worry for them after dark

I’m  still looking for my own version of America
One without the gun, where the flag can freely fly
No  bombs in the sky, only fireworks when you and I collide
It’s just a dream I had in mind
It’s just a dream I had in mind
It’s just a dream I had in mind

Rick Ross Ft. Chris Rock & Nas – Powers That Be

Pot to piss in, not a ribbon, never forgot a Christmas
Father figure not around, that’s such a major difference
I would play with all my homies’ gifts
I understood I didn’t wanna trip

Luke Bryan – If You Ain’t Here to Party

If you aren’t here to party
You picked the wrong place
You picked the wrong Friday night
If you aren’t here to party
You’ll be missing out on the
Best damn time of your life
So go on and throw your card down
Knock a shot out
And get yourself in the zone
Yeah, you might as well go on
And head your ass back home
If you aren’t here to party

Justin Bieber – Sorry

Yeah, is it too late now to say sorry?
Cause I’m missing more than just your body
Is it too late now to say sorry?
Yeah I know that I let you down
Is it too late to say I’m sorry now?

Lupe Fiasco – Lu Myself

You don’t stand a chance, matter of fact, you don’t have half the stance
To stand if you stood half a chance

Young Jeezy – I Luv It

Ride till I die, Lord knows stay high, and I love it
Let’s go!

We count hundreds on the table, twentys on the floor
Fresh outta work and on the way with some more
And I love it (yeah!), and I love it
I got gangstas in the crowd, bad b…… at my show
Parked outside, and sitting on fo’s
And I love it (yeah!), and love it

Kings of Leon – The Immortals

The windows are, the perfect picture
They’re always changing
Go on get lost, jump in the waters
When they are raging

I Say

Spill out on streets of stars
And ride away
Find out what you are
Face to face
Once you’ve had enough
Carry on
Don’t forget to love
Before you’re gone

Mumford & Sons – White Blank Page

Can you lie next to her
And give her your heart, your heart
As well as your body?

And can you lie next to her
And confess your love, your love
As well as your folly?

And can you kneel before the king
And say, “I’m clean, I’m clean”?

But tell me now, where was my fault
In loving you with my whole heart?
Oh, tell me now, where was my fault
In loving you with my whole heart?

The Rolling Stones – Wild Horses

Childhood living is easy to do
The things you wanted, I bought them for you
Graceless lady, you know who I am
You know I can’t let you slide through my hands

Lil Nas X – Old Town Road

I got the horses in the back
Horse tack is attached
Hat is matte black
Got the boots that’s black to match
Ridin’ on a horse, ha
You can whip your Porsche
I been in the valley
You ain’t been up off that porch, now

Can’t nobody tell me nothin’
You can’t tell me nothin’
Can’t nobody tell me nothin’
You can’t tell me nothin’

The Lumineers – Stubborn Love ​

She’ll lie and steal and cheat
And beg you from her knees
Make you thinks she means it this time
She’ll tear a hole in you, the one you can’t repair
But I still love her, I don’t really care

When we were young
Oh oh, we did enough
When it got cold
Ooh ooh, we bundled up
I can’t be told
Ah ah it can’t be done

The Chainsmokers & Bebe Rexha – Call You Mine

Two kids with their hearts on fire
Who’s gonna save us now?
When we thought that we couldn’t get higher
Things started looking down
I look at you and you look at me
Like nothing but strangers now
Two kids with their hearts on fire
Don’t let it burn us out
