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

DJ Khaled ft. Jay-Z, Future – I Got the Keys

‘Til you own your own you can’t be free

‘Til you’re on your own you can’t be me

How we still slaves in 2016?

Key to life, keep a bag comin’

Every night another bag comin’

I ain’t been asleep since ’96

I ain’t seen the back of my eyelids

Tyga Ft. Offset – Taste

Whole lotta styles, can’t even pronounce the name

You ain’t got no style, see you on my Instagram

I be rockin’ it like it’s fresh out the pan

Only when I’m takin’ pics, I’m the middleman

Jon Pardi – Write You a Song

And then I’ll write you a song

You might hear it on the radio

Baby, you never know

But it’s gonna be just about you and me

How much I miss you

You’re the one that got away

You’re gonna hear your song someday

OneRepublic – Counting Stars

I see this life

Like a swinging vine

Swing my heart across the line

In my faces flashing signs

Seek it out and ye shall find

The old, but I’m not that old

Young, but I’m not that bold

And I don’t think the world is sold

I’m just doing what we’re told

I, feel something so right

Doing the wrong thing

I, feel something so wrong

But doing the right thing

I could lie, could lie, could lie

Everything that kills me makes me feel alive

Wiz Khalifa – Hopeless Romantic ft. Swae Lee

My night runs into morning, all the time

And through my phone I’m scrolling, bang my line

Off that drank it’s hard to focus (focus)

Seems like I am always chosen by romantics that are hopeless

Stwo Ft. Jeremih – Neither Do I

But you different than these women

Got me coming back

Can’t let anybody have you

Can’t have none of that

Third Eye Blind – Jumper

I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend

You could cut ties with all the lies that you’ve been living in

And if you do not want to see me again

I would understand, I would understand

Mike WiLL Made-It Ft. Kendrick Lamar, Gucci Mane, Rae Sremmurd – Perfect Pint

They screamin’ Compton, must be two sides

R.I.P. to Shawty Lo, yeah B. Dot know I’m flexin’

VIP my barrio, 200 on the guest list

I don’t like to sugarcoat or politic with yes men

I like me a boujee h.. from Normandie and Western

2017 onto bigger things (bigger things)

I got a smaller team, got a bigger ring (bigger ring)

Everybody a Crip ’til they black and blue

Everybody a Blood ’til they hemorrhaging

Wet – You’re Not Wrong

You wanna sail away

Into a setting sun

Throw it all away

For your only one

I tried to pull away

You said I’m too far gone

Fabolous Ft. Jazzy – Real One

I’m like “How long this hard-to-get role lasting?”

She said “I don’t know, it depends who’s asking”

Big Sean Ft. Travis Scott – Go Legend

With my best friend

7-11 (yeah)

We go legend, we go legend (yeah, yeah)

We go legend, we go legend (alright)

We go legend, we go legend, yeah

With my best friend

7-11 (yeah)

We go legend (go), we go legend (go), yeah (yeah)

We go legend (go), we go legend (go legend)

We go legend, we go legend, yeah (straight)

Beach House – Black Car

We want to go inside the cold

It’s like a tomb, but it’s something to hold

And in the time before it ends

When the stillness bends

Kendrick Lamar Ft. Travis Scott – Big Shot

Big shot (hol’ up, wait) peanut butter insides (no)

Outside, cocaine white, body look like Gentiles (Gentiles)

Emotional, ‘motional, ‘motional, ‘motional

Why you emotional? Why you emotional?

Ah, bitch, you emotional, yeah

Lil Wayne – Big Bad Wolf

Hungry artists or starvin’ artists

In the kitchen, restaurant and cafeterias

Don’t make a difference if you taste the difference

Better pay the difference to the racketeers

Now your good luck lookin’ like you crackin’ mirrors

Now the artificial become sacrificial

That’s a body count, where the mathematician?

Eurythmics – Sweet Dreams

Sweet dreams are made of this

Who am I to disagree?

I travel the world

And the seven seas,

Everybody’s looking for something

Charlotte Day Wilson – Stone Woman

You’re leaving pavement, flying high

Those weathered eyes

And heavy sighs

Won’t sink

But If I can catch you, I’ll be grown

But If I can catch you, I’ll be grown

But If I can catch you, no less to

Know that it’ll be worth your weight in stone

GoldLink ft. Miguel – Got Friends

Look, I ain’t really gotta rap about it, I just talk about it ’cause I live it now

So let me tell you ’bout this PYT, that I seen this week, I had to take a bow

5’2″ with a brown fur and her hair tied with them light eyes

And she would make me throw it all away for a fun time and the right prize

Daryl Hall & John Oates – Maneater

She’ll only come out at night, the lean and hungry type

Nothing is new, I’ve seen her here before

Watching and waiting

Ooh, she’s sitting with you, but her eyes are on the door

So many have paid to see what you think you’re getting for free

The woman is wild, a she-cat tamed by the purr of a Jaguar

Money’s the matter

If you’re in it for love, you ain’t gonna get too far

(Oh-oh, here she comes) Watch out, boy, she’ll chew you up

(Oh-oh, here she comes) She’s a maneater

(Oh-oh, here she comes) Watch out, boy, she’ll chew you up

(Oh-oh, here she comes) She’s a maneater

Fugazi – Waiting room

I am a patient boy

I wait, I wait, I wait, I wait

My time is like water down a drain

Everybody’s moving, everybody’s moving

Everybody’s moving, moving, moving, moving

Please don’t leave me to remain

Coldplay – What If

What if there was no light?

Nothing wrong, nothing right?

What if there was no time?

And no reason or rhyme?

What if you should decide

That you don’t want me there by your side?

That you don’t want me there in your life?

Xavier Omär fka SPZRKT – Blind Man

I can love you with my eyes closed

I don’t lose sight of your beauty

‘Cos your heart is fine gold baby

Imma take my time with your mind

Your ambition won’t leave me alone

Tell me ’bout your dreams, tell me everything

Don’t nobody care about your heart like I do

Girl I’m down for you just the way that you’re down for me

Body like a queen

But it ain’t about your body baby it’s about your being

I ain’t rolling up, but I’m on a high

When you really think about it, ain’t no wonder why

Childish Gambino – This Is America

This is America

Don’t catch you slippin’ now

Don’t catch you slippin’ now

Look what I’m whippin’ now

A$AP Rocky – Fashion Killa

Rockin’, rollin’, swaggin’ to the max

My b…. a fashion killa, she be busy poppin’ tags

She got a lotta Prada, that Dolce & Gabbana

I can’t forget Escada, and that Balenciaga

I’m sippin’ purple syrup, come be my Aunt Jemima

And if you is a rider, we’ll go shoppin’ like mañana

Her attitude Rihanna, she get it from her mama

She jiggy like Madonna, but she trippy like Nirvana

‘Cause everything designer,

Her jeans is Helmut Lang, shoes is Alexander Wang

And her shirt the newest Donna, Karan

Wearin’ all the Cartier frames

Jean Paul Gaultiers ’cause they match with her persona

Lil Wayne Ft. Juelz Santana – Bloody Mary

I’m pimpin’, now who am I? I’m who and why

I’m rude and kind, my cars are computerized

I’m cruisin’ by, smokin’ blunts Ruben size

You fools can try, these tools getting utilized

You euthanized, blrtt, skrrt, shoot then drive

Now who survived? We comin’ back to rewind

I’m usually high, sippin’ on the Houston wine

Feel humanized, I want my throne to recline
