"Wake up Mr west", I'm already awake, but the awakening just started! I opened my eyes, and the sunshine illuminated the dark. It's time to stop pumping the breaks, just let go, I've been driving slow for too long now! Life's been moving to slow, the unpredictable changes to continuity is the snow that keeps falling! I've sacrificed the possibility of a real life to keep my dream of wearing Louis Vuitton alive. That's a truth, but it's not mine. Rapping on beat is like hitting on someone, you either on point -or you're not. A bad flow is as impossible to hide as taking cover in the shadows at high noon, what ever, Common says it best; real rappers are as hard to find, like a remote. Most up and comers now a days are about the fame and the fortune. Who can blame them(?) wouldn't you use your dream to power your self-esteem? Think about it, nice cloths creates an ambiance, a fly fellow in old rags is mos def not the same as a cool kid rockin' Chicago Bulls cap, you see the big picture?
More money, more cloths, but even more problems. The people highest up got the lowest self-esteem, the prettiest people do the ugliest things. We buy a lot of cloths, but we don't really need them. That’s just things we buy to cover up what's inside. They make us hate our self and love their wealth. In short, we should show them how we get down. If you find the hair thin balance between chaos and control you're pretty much set. We don't dare to think big enough. I think most Norwegian live by the strict codex of "don't think you're unique, there's nothing special about you", so let's set aside the law of Jante, and ante up, I could stand here in a Speedo and be looked at like a fucking hero. Believe that! I went from zero to hero in under a sentence, can you? The notion preconceived is that there's a difference between "them" and "us", "you" and "me" ..., so a humble suggestion is to slightly turn the focus from everyone and where else, and take a good and hard look at yourself, get introspective with it! Do you have a problem with spending before you get it, to be honest, I do. Until lately I lived by the simple rule of being impulsive, but go figure, that really screwed up my economic situation big time, so guess what I’m trying to say is that I'm ballin' on a budget now. Sometimes it's for the best to look at how it all falls down. Things don't have to be complicated, sometimes the simple things are the best. Just breathe in, breathe out, and make the decision, create a workout plan, if economists in America manage to maintain a optimistic view, what's stopping you?
I have two words for you; self empowerment! This is not going to turn into some guide to regain control of your life, I've always said that if I'd write something, I'd say something significant! You know how the game be, I can't let them change me. So having lived the lavish life, sort of speak, it's time to snap back to reality. It's time to graduate from the childish life, I let my child-like tendencies fly away on a spaceship, I've paid my dues, I've worked my share of grave shifts, it's time to aim for the moon, and we all know the rest of that saying. The center of my attention today is the most overlooked, the most overbooked, some say he's arrogant, who can blame him? Are you going to let dream killers kill your self-esteem, or are you going to use your arrogance to power your dream? I guess you have to do what ever floats your boat, I'm just saying that the method of steam has worked since the 18th century. So perhaps remarks of you being gassed isn't the worst, all you need to do is to blow off some, from time to time. Better to blow off steam than cash, unless your loaded, then it's all about mayonnaise colored Benz, pushing Miracle Whips. Power of the self, individual strength and a strong identity has been the center of my attention many times, but in my opinion it's better to dwell one to many than the contraire!
No doubt that this blurb is about one of the rappers I rank as the best. Many things has been said, and more will be said, none the less, he's the best. I can only speak for myself, but than again, does other opinions actually matter? Shooting myself in the leg here right now, since I like to think that some of you readers enjoy my takes on various subjects, but, as long as we can identify that we share the same opinions, I'm at least not a hypocrite telling you to do me, not you. I'll admit that it's hard to follow my chain of thoughts, I sometimes lose sight of the cookie trail myself, that's why I Hanzel And Gretel the shit out of my texts by leaving a heavy set of cookie crumbles, just in case you lose track of the important message, in-between all the metaphors and parallels leading everywhere and nowhere, you've still got the banner with all of the neon lights telling you to do you. Here I'm trying to talk some sense into them, I don't want to end up sitting thinking there's no convincing them, what more can I ask for, perhaps an encore, we all feel the need a mentor, so why not read 'till your eye's get sore. There's always the lazy road, sit back and wait for the arrival of the savior.
All is well that ends well, a pretty self explaining term, but at least it predicts the course of your actions. Sometimes you've got to go the extra mile yourself, sometimes there's people there to accompany you. What I'm trying to say is that there's powerful forces out there, pulling and pushing us in different directions all the time, so unless we're aware of it, we might suddenly find us self on open waters, floating on the blowup dinosaur, feeling the sunburn and the anxiety attack announcing its arrival. We're all affected by our surroundings, we're all victims of disappointments in life, the only difference is how we let it affect us. Someone has to drive to New Jersey, and put together Ikea beds by themselves, others have to start over, with fresh sheets, sneakers and the mandatory crisp tee. The common factor, the common derivator sort of speak is the heart, you either got it for the city, music or whatnot. In conclusion, the factor that makes greatness stand out in a crowd is the ability to believe. Not necessarily in God, in a divine force, or something like that, but the simple truth that your destined for greatness, so pull up your sleeves, no matter who pulls from the deal, you're gonna get yours with Capital letters. Perhaps not the first time, but if my recollections serves me well, there's always a prize for the one that's willing to wait. Are you the next one to Rock a Fellow, (pause) No HoMo.
I choose to let the inspiration of the truly inspiring guide me. I might be flattering myself too much, but someone might feel the need to interrupt me now, because Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time. It has been a pleasure to let the music of one of the truly best artists flow through my speakers while writing this, in all humbleness it is not worthy of your time, but I appreciate everyone that reaches these last lines. There's probably more to say, I don't even I think I scratched the surface, but than again, I'm satisfied.
I would like to wish you a wonderful day, welcome to the good life where the best things are free!
Peace and Love,
Frelsersarmeneren.
