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

Kid Cudi – The Rage

Got my mind, my soul and my heart on the same wave
It took me a minute, now I’m all in it, damn

Ed Sheeran – Photograph

We keep this love in a photograph
We made these memories for ourselves
Where our eyes are never closing
Our hearts were never broken
And time’s forever frozen, still

Chance the Rapper – Work Out

Today I missed my workout
But it worked out
Now I’m missing work now
But it worked out
Had to buy a crib, ‘fore I bought my first house
Had my first kid, I love how she turned out
I love how she turned up, even if I’m burned out
I’ma have so many seeds
I could have a birdhouse
Send my love on they mama
I hope it work out
I hope it work out

Labrinth Ft. Emeli Sandé – Beneath Your Beautiful

Would you let me see beneath your beautiful
Would you let me see beneath your perfect
Take it off now girl, take it off now girl
I wanna see inside
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight

Lana Del Rey – Blue Jeans

Blue jeans, white shirt
Walked into the room you know you made my eyes burn
It was like James Dean, for sure
You so fresh to death and sick as ca-cancer
You were sorta punk rock, I grew up on hip hop
But you fit me better than my favorite sweater, and I know
That love is mean, and love hurts
But I still remember that day we met in December, oh baby

21 Savage Ft. J. Cole – A Lot

How much money you got? (A lot)
How many problems you got? (A lot)
How many people done doubted you? (A lot)
Left you out to rot? (A lot)
How many pray that you flop? (A lot)
How many lawyers you got? (A lot)
How many times you got shot? (A lot)
How many n….. you shot? (A lot)
How many times did you ride? (A lot)
How many n….. done died? (A lot)
How many times did you cheat? (A lot)
How many times did you lie? (A lot)
How many times did she leave? (A lot)
How many times did she cry? (A lot)
How many chances she done gave you?
F… around with these thots (A lot)

Dua Lipa – IDGAF

So I cut you off
I don’t need your love
‘Cause I already cried enough
I’ve been done
I’ve been movin’ on since we said goodbye
I cut you off
I don’t need your love, so you can try all you want
Your time is up, I’ll tell you why

J. Cole – Middle Child

I just poured somethin’ in my cup
I’ve been wantin’ somethin’ I can feel
Promise I am never lettin’ up
Money in your palm don’t make you real
Foot is on they neck, I got ’em stuck
I’ma give ’em somethin’ they can feel
If it ain’t ’bout the squad, don’t give a f…
Pistol in your hand don’t make you real

A$AP Rocky – Changes

Wake up to my explore page
See my exes engaged, or either gettin’ married

Cirque Du Soleil – All come together

From the sea, to the moon
Through the light, we shall be free
You and I, as we all come together

From the wind, through the rain
Can you feel that we are free
With the world, as we all
Come together

Frank Ocean – Skyline To

It begins to blur, we get older (Blur!)
Summer’s not as long as it used to be

O.G.C. – No Fear

But as they close in, chumps get chosen, stance
Gets frozen ‘cause this here fleet’s about as potent
So hold it, watch how you take those totes
‘Cause your next’ll be your last, yo, and all she wrote
Kill the small talk, no delaying. On sidelines, I’m wasting
Procrastinating is sin, so there’ll be no delaying

Kid Cudi Ft. King Chip – Just What I Am

I’m just what you made God – not many I trust
I’ma go my own way, God, take my fate to wherever you want
I’m out here, on my son, won’t stop ’til I get me some
Club-hoppin’, tryin’ to get me some, bad b…… wanna get me sprung

Jamal – Fades Em All

See I done chalked up another one when I drop a ton
Take yo’ favorite MC and bring the light like the sun
Get done! Bow down I be the one known to rock rhymes
With lines beyond yours to make it prime time
I’m the master, of the ceremony Mally G
It’ll be a long day before you see another me
I be, higher than clouds, with the system pumpin loud
Trippin lovin life, it’s the illest juvenile

Pink Floyd – Wish You Were Here

So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell
Blue skies from pain
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail
A smile from a veil
Do you think you can tell?

Earl Sweatshirt – Shattered Dreams

I said peace to my dirty water drinkers
Psh, nobody tryna get it clean
Why ain’t nobody tell me I was sinkin’?
Ain’t nobody tell me I could leave

FloFilz Ft. Ivan Ave – Shinethru

Her pops was an artist she ain’t tryna date musicians
I said I’m only scared of sharks and commitment
Hit a dead end, never uttered the word couple
Only took day trips into each other’s bubbles
Doomed from the start, just some young foolish lovers
Used to f…… in the rubble, tryna shine through

The Notorious B.I.G. – Kick in the Door

On ya mark, get set, when I spark, ya wet
Look how dark it get when you’re marked for death
Should I start your breath or should I let you die
In fear you start to cry, ask why
Lyrically I’m worshiped, don’t front, the word sick
You cursed it, but rehearsed it
I drop unexpectedly like bird shit
You herbs get stuck quickly for royalties and show money

Lupe Fiasco – WAV Files

My bones is why the beach is white
Why the beach is white ’cause they bleached us light
So I’m goin’ back home, I took a leap last night
So I’m walkin’ on water ’til my feet just like Jesus Christ
Wow, walkin’ on water
Wow, wow, walkin’ on water
Wow, wow, walkin’ on water
Wow, wow, walkin’ on water, ayy

Fleetwood Mac – Landslide

Well, I’ve been ‘fraid of changin’
‘Cause I’ve built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Even children get older
And I’m gettin’ older, too

Bobby Caldwell – What You Won’t Do for Love

I guess you wonder where I’ve been
I searched to find a love within
I came back to let you know
Got a thing for you and I can’t let go

My friends wonder what is wrong with me
Well I’m in a daze from your love, you see
I came back to let you know
Got a thing for you and I can’t let go

Some people go around the world for love
But they may never find what they dream of

What you won’t do, to do for love
You tried everything but you don’t give up
In my world only you
Make me do for love what I would not do

James Taylor – Up On The Roof

When this old world starts a getting me down,

and people are just too much for me to face.

I’ll climb way up to the top of the stairs and all my cares just drift right into space.

On the roof, it’s peaceful as can be and there the world below don’t bother me, no, no.

Amy Winehouse – Back To Black

We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her and I go back to
I go back to us

Counting Crows Ft. Vanessa Carlton – Big Yellow Taxi

They took all the trees, and put them in a tree museum
And they charged the people a dollar and a half to see them
No, no, no

Don’t it always seem to go
That you don’t know what you got ’till it’s gone
They paved paradise, and put up a parking lot
