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

Curren$y – Anybody

Exotics and low riders front my house I dreamed about it

Now all I do walk out my front door and I see I got it

I used to dream about it, I can’t believe I got it

I guess all I’m saying anybody could be somebody

Biggie Smalls – What’s Beef

What’s beef? Beef is when you make your enemies start your Jeep

Beef is when you roll no less than 30 deep

Beef is when I see you

Guaranteed to be in ICU

Bruno Mars – Just the Way You Are

When I see your face

There’s not a thing that I would change

‘Cause you’re amazing

Just the way you are

Solange – Cranes in the Sky

I tried to drink it away

I tried to put one in the air

I tried to dance it away

I tried to change it with my hair

Kendrick Lamar – Rigamortus

Got me breathing with dragons

I’ll crack the egg in your basket you bastard

I’m Marilyn Manson with madness

Now just imagine the magic I light to asses

Don’t ask for your favorite rapper

(He dead) Yessir

N.W.A – Express Yourself

it ain’t all about wealth as long as you make a note to…

Express yourself

Come on and do it

Barrington Levy – Under Me Sensi

Ah, from mi stand up inna volcano sound

Den mi bun di ganja pipe

Babylon come an tell mi dat naw right

Mi say mi bun it an pass it on da right

Let’s Go Crazy – Prince

Dearly beloved

We are gathered here today

To get through this thing called life

Rick Ross Ft. Drake – Made Men

Spending tomorrow’s money, I call it mañana

Off the rack just ain’t my style, I call it designer

Mark Ronson Ft. Bruno Mars – Uptown Funk

This hit, that ice cold

Michelle Pfeiffer, that white gold

This one, for them hood girls

Them good girls, straight masterpieces

Stylin’, wilin’

Livin’ it up in the city

Got Chucks on with Saint Laurent

Gotta kiss myself I’m so pretty

Pharrell Williams – Happy

(Because I’m happy)

Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof

(Because I’m happy)

Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth

(Because I’m happy)

Clap along if you know what happiness is to you

(Because I’m happy)

Clap along if you feel like that’s what you wanna do

Kendrick Lamar Ft. Ash Riser – Keisha’s Song (Her Pain)

See a block away from Lueders Park, I seen the El Camino parked

In her heart she hate it there, but in her mind she made it where

Nothing really matters, so she hit the back seat

Rosa Parks never a factor when she making ends meet

Mac Miller – Stay

She was playin’ hard to get, I read between her lines

Binge watched “Sopranos”, made it all the way to season five

Drake Ft. Lil wayne – Ransome

You ain’t heard of me then you should go and get a Blue’s Clue?

Oops! I mean a red clue

Wayne’s here, Soo-woo!

The Weeknd Ft. Daft Punk – Starboy

You talkin money, need a hearing aid

You talkin bout me, I don’t see the shade

Switch up my style, I take any lane

I switch up my cup, I kill any pain

Lupe Fiasco Ft. Nikki Jean- Hip-Hop Saved My Life

With a screwed-up hook that went “stack that cheese”

Somethin’ somethin’ somethin’, “stack that cheese”

Mother, sister, cousin, “stack that cheese”

He couldn’t think of nothin’, “stack that cheese”

He turns down the beat, writer’s block impedes

Crying from the next room, a baby in need

Of some Pampers and some food and place to sleep

That, plus a black Cadillac on Ds

Is what keep him on track to be a great MC
