Late 808

 

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

Nas – Nas Is Like

Freedom or jail, clips inserted, a baby’s being born

Same time my man is murdered, the beginning and end

Jeezy Ft. Plies – Lose My Mind

Why y’all trip

I’m just fine

12:45, bout that time

Couldn’t get it all week, time to unwind

Drink like a tank, lose my mind

Eminem – Toy Soldiers

Step by step, heart to heart

Left, right, left

We all fall down like toy soldiers

Bit by bit, torn apart

We never win

But the battle wages on for toy soldiers

DMX – Fame

We each have a star, all we have to do is find it

Once you do, everyone who sees it will be blinded

Kanye West ft. Rihanna, Kid Cudi – All of the Lights

Turn up the lights in here, baby

Extra bright, I want y’all to see this

Turn up the lights in here, baby

You know what I need, want you to see everything

Want you to see all of the lights

2 Chainz – Ghetto

I’m ghetto, excuse me


My life is a movie

Vic Mensa – Dynasty

I heard a certain who’s who mad that I like the danger

Get your priorities straight like Hermione Granger

Drake Ft. Kanye West, Eminem & Lil Wayne – Forever

And I will never stop, like I’m running from the cops

Hop up in my car and told my chauffeur, “To the top!”

Life is such a f…… roller coaster, then it drops

But what should I scream for? This is my theme park

OutKast – Hey Ya!

If what they say is “Nothing is forever”

Then what makes, then what makes, then what makes

Then what makes, what makes, what makes

Love the exception?

Mary J. Blige Ft. Kanye West – Love Yourself

Never found virtue from patience

In a dark room just pacin’

Precious time is just wastin’

You do not know what we facin’

I cannot be complacent

In my job, be courageous

Kanye West – Big Brother

If you admire somebody you should go on ‘head tell ’em

People never get the flowers while they can still smell ’em

Dr. Dre – Still D.R.E. ft. Snoop Dogg

I’m representin’ for them gangstas all across the world

Still hittin’ them corners in them lo-lo’s, girl

Still takin’ my time to perfect the beat

And I still got love for the streets, it’s the D.R.E.

O.C. – My World

I say it’s my world, and I won’t stop


And if you stand in my way you bound to get dropped

Earl Sweatshirt – Solace

Try to make some sense of all this shit in my brain

One foot stuck in a tar pit of my ways

Royce da 5’9” – Boom

Everybody claim they the best and they head the throne

Since B.I.G is gone, if you ask me, they “Dead Wrong”

Coolio Ft. L.V. – Gangsta’s Paradise

As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death

I take a look at my life and realize there’s nothin’ left

‘Cause I’ve been blastin’ and laughin’ so long

That even my momma thinks that my mind is gone
