Eminem // My Name Is

Hi kids! Do you like violence?
Wanna see me stick Nine Inch Nails
Through each one of my eyelids?
Wanna copy me and do exactly like I did?
Try ‘cid and get fucked up worse that my life is?

Eyedea & Abilities // By The Throat

We share pain, 
You took me by the throat and made me understand the world as if I were you and I couldn’t breathe. 
And you can lead a horse to fresh water but you can’t teach it how to be okay when you decide to leave. 
I’m lost, there’s no one to protect,
I got so used to bein’ sheltered from the rain that always followed you. 
It’s not my first time, actually it’s nothin’ new, 
But that doesn’t make it any easier to get through. 
The snow won’t melt, smoke won’t clear, 
Turned hope inside out a thousand times tryin’ to see if it was ever anything more than dressed up fear,
But the two go hand in hand you can’t have one without the other bein’ there. 
I’m barely breathin’ waitin for these screams to end, 
Beggin’ a god I don’t believe in to let me sleep so I can dream again. 
We went through thick and thin, 
Came out separate on the other end, 
But please know no matter what you’ll always have me as a friend.

Heiruspecs // Lie To Me

Just once, I want to poke my negative stress in the chest,
Swing a haymaker left and not rest ‘til I beat it to death.
Breathe in the best breath ever once I clean up the mess,
Yet whenever I step, it retreats deeper into its nest.
Just once, I wish to bridge the gap between me and that dude,
The man I could’ve been after I realized that I had to.
The type of cat to have past loves asking, “Is that you?”
But that’s cool, you still don’t recognize when I pass, boo. 
I wish that I could hold feelings, ‘cause feelings hold me,
Together, yet broken, closely at arm’s length from me.
I sometimes wonder if these epiphanies will kill me,
Creeping out of the deep, dark, corners of the real me.

Atmosphere // Fuck You Lucy

Do I sound mad?
Well I guess I’m a little pissed
Every action has a point
Five points make a fist
You close ‘em
You swing ‘em
It hurts when it hits
And the truth can be a bitch
But if the boot fits
I got an idea
You should get a tattoo that says “Warning”
That’s all, just a warning
So the potential victim
Can take a left and safe breath
And avoid you
Sober and upset in the morning
I wanna scream “Fuck you, Lucy!”
But the problem is I love you, Lucy
So instead
I’m gonna finish my drink and have another
While you think about how you used to be my lover
Fuck You 

Cyne // Up Above

Sometimes when the stress in the day is thick
I have a wish to have that one last kiss
One more hug, rejoice and grandma love
Of God above, a lot I needed because
The stress and strain, the pain come down the rain
The sun, it came too late now it’s not the same
My life has changed, my soul has an empty place
And only the sound of your voice can fill the space
I’ll wrestle angels just to see ya face again
Because you were my life, my mother and friend
You reside in God’s love now in heaven above
So don’t you move ya son gonna see you soon
I run, past the hardships tears and pain
Growin up I said ya name you always came
Hold my hand, gotta move through the storm
Now I need to be strong cause you’re with the Lord
From the beginning to end, ‘til I finish the start
Hold close to my heart no matter how hard
Things get to be, it’s you I see
Smilin, cryin, lookin down at me
Wit tears of joy, come hold your baby boy
Look at me now, it’ll make momma proud

Atmosphere // Yesterday

Yesterday, was that you?
Looked just like you.
Strange things my imagination might do.
Take a breath, reflect on what we’ve been through,
Or am I just going crazy cause I miss you?

Kno // Rhythm of the Rain

Let’s blaze, what a way to escape
What’s a way for you to waste away your days of mistakes?
Eyes glossy, glazed-over like, donuts and cakes
You’re happy with somebody so you wish and hope that it’s fate
But what if it’s fake? Hell of a scam, the whole time
All for the pie, you know, key lime
If it all ended today, at least you tried
It was a nice ride, time to go inside
Yourself and take a look at the person and how it’s hurtin’
like how could somebody love you for years and then desert ya
What’s the whole purpose? Experience of learnin?
Exterior is strong but inside you’re certainly burnin’
Take two of these that’s the remedy for anything
You could be happy or else, at least pretend to be
Own biggest enemy, killin’ self slow
They tell you hold on loose but never let go

Non-Prophets (Sage Francis) // The Cure

I won’t accept it. Do my best to reject patterns til it hurts
Every second making bad turns for the worse.
She’s getting further away, I can feel it in the way my bones ache .
The ocean sealed it’s lips, now the waves won’t break. 

The secrets it won’t say has got us trying to break codes in churches, 
And lately I’ve been hating its soul purpose.
When a boy writes off the world it’s done with sloppy misspelled words if, 
A girl writes off the world it’s done in cursive. 

I’m searching for the cure. 
This is a sickness. 
Can you hear me, love?

Macklemore // Wings

We want what we can’t have, commodity makes us want it.
So expensive, damn, I just got to flaunt it.
Got to show ‘em, so exclusive, this that new shit,
A hundred dollars for a pair of shoes I would never hoop in.
Look at me, look at me, I’m a cool kid.
I’m an individual, yea, but I’m part of a movement.
My movement told me be a consumer and I consumed it.
They told me to just do it, I listened to what that swoosh said.
Look at what that swoosh did, see it consumed my thoughts.
Are you stupid, don’t crease ‘em, just leave ‘em in that box
Strangled by these laces, laces I can barely talk. 
That’s my air bubble and I’m lost, if it pops.
We are what we wear, we wear what we are,
But see I look inside the mirror and think Phil Knight tricked us all.
Will I stand for change, or stay in my box?
These Nikes help me define me, and I’m trying to take mine, off…

Lupe Fiasco // Words I Never Said

I think that all the silence is worse than all the violence. 
Fear is such a weak emotion thats why I despise it. 
We scared of almost everything, afraid to even tell the truth, 
So scared of what you think of me, I’m scared of even telling you.
Sometimes I’m like the only person I feel safe to tell it to. 
I’m locked inside a cell in me, I know that there’s a jail in you. 
Consider this your bailing out, so take a breath, inhale a few. 
My screams is finally getting free, my thoughts is finally yelling through.
