Explanation..

Hey guys! I'm sorry i keep putting all of this music on my blog, but i really really love music! I listen to music everyday and i just thought that you all would like to know how i feel about it!  

So this blog is about one of my top favorite rappers, Kendrick Lamar. I wouldn't even consider him a rapper, he's more of a lyricist. His music speaks to you through the words instead of you just hearing the song. 

The song is called "Growing Apart (To Get Closer)" You can read the snippet of the lyrics below. 

So in conclusion, we all seem to stumble, planning our own demise
Forgetting the big picture and making it wallet size
So to what is important in my life, I apologize
I promise to stay faithful, focused and sanctified
We all get distracted
The question is would you bounce back or bounce backwards?
Would you not know how to act or take action? It’s just a part of life
And if your vision’s impaired, you probably lose it all tonight .


He's basically saying that sometimes we all slack and forget our dreams and follow the route the money wants to take us. Also, he wonders how the girl would act if they tried to make things work, whether she would "bounce back" right into being together, or "bounce backwards" right out of the relationship again. He goes on to say that if she can't see things straight and understand, then the relationship may be lost altogether. 








Auntie Naja. :)

I have two nieces. Zi is 12 and Nyah is six. I love those two girls with all my heart. I try to see them every chance i get. I don't get to see them everyday because they live in New Jersey with my older sister. I was born in N.J and I moved down here in the 2nd grade. I wish I could move back up there after school, I miss their faces! Lol but I seriously miss all of my family back up north. My nieces are in the 1st and 6th grades. They are going up so quick! I can't wait until i get to see them everyday and receive their love in return. 

The Word B*tch...


Well the word b*tch is used wayyyyy too much nowadays. I think that is because of what people hear in music and how they use it in videos and on tv. There's this song that an artist by the name of Lupe Fiasco, who tackles the word and its effects esp. on children. Lupe uses this song in way to explain the true meaning instead of just labeling a person with the word. I honestly think this is a great song and is explained perfectly. I just want everyone to listen to it, watch the video and understand the true meaning of the word b*tch.
