MY PLAYLIST FOR 2017
Back home from yet another one of those busy days, I have them alot these days. Earphones in my ears, defence mechanism. Nothing speaks to me more than music these days too.
Well where do I even start. Damn I wish the clock would tick quicker on this year. It has been one hell of a year...to say the least. But before I write it off I gotta take you down memory lane just for you to get a glimpse of how bad its been.
Remember I told you music speaks to me? Now playing Casper Nyovest.. MIMI.
"Mama I'm finally famous
That's why they're trying to break us
We broke the rules so they hate us"
Well I started out with alot of energy and good vibes you know. This was gonna be my year.
Everything was going good. NP Avicii- am the man. "
Well you can tell everybody
Yeah you can tell everybody
Go ahead and tell everybody
I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man" Feeling accomplished what else could break me? I was here finally.
Then came the life.. "Omo who's your daddy Is he chairman or is he an alhaji I can tell that you really really like to faji Eti mope am the life for the party Life for the party" NP Omo Alhaji -Ycee.
Then when I thought nothing could go wrong. "Am I supposed to change? Are you supposed to change?
Who should be hurt? Will we remain?
You need a resolution, I need a resolution,
We need a resolution, We have so much confusion." We need a resolution - timbaland
Then when I was feeling mature enough to leave the hood and start doing big boy stuff." I'm focused now, but I'll still set it off like I'm Vivica Fox
I'm the same nigga that was wit that
I'm the same nigga from a Snapchat
I'm the same nigga with a gold grill, and a herringbone, and a snapback
Hey, Imma keep it real, keep it one hunnit
Was a real nigga when I wasn't nothing
I was shootin' them tools with the niggas with me
Now I'm passin' out jewels to the niggas with me" Moneybag Yo- in da air.
"Look, I've also heard a lot of things about you
And I know half of it's true
Don't you try and act innocent like you ain't done some wicked shit
But I'm still here treating you like I'm your first
Pretending that loving you can never hurt
Like I ain't bothered when you party with my enemies
But honestly I'm not as strong as I pretend to be
You know how niggas be
We like acting all tough when we know that deep down this shit affecting me
Looking for Cupid 'cause I think I got shot with an arrow
Love is risky so we choose to be safe and we settle
Cause every secret that I tell you can turn into ammo
Loyalty is rare as an AKA and Cassper collabo
It's crazy 'cause we were done before I finished this
I knew I never should have trusted that you innocent" Nyovest again. ..Destiny.
"I Used to break my neck for you
Spend my paycheck on you
Put my account in the red for you
Damn near put myself in debt for you
You made me obsessed for you
Thought I had the same effect on you" I ain't even going to talk about this. That bit sucks but the song still plays on. And yeah I cried my last tear drop.
But when shit hits the fan, it gets messy. Everything I had built was now tumbling down. " When all the light goes out, where will you be?
When the darkness comes, what will you see?
(When the lights go out)
When all the light goes out, where will you be?
(When the lights go out)
When the darkness comes, what will you see?" Jedi Mind tricks- When all light dies.
"I played the game, I reconciled, well, well, well, well
I wear the blame, like a suit and tie
I sing your lullabies, your melodies like a symphony
We fall the same, when we walk the wire
I just need a little mercy, mercy on me
I just need a little mercy, mercy on me" Jacob Banks- Mercy
" They made a story out of me
They laugh and joke about my name
They put a bounty out on me
They all excited by my shame" Jacob Banks - Monster. Mahn hadn't they made a monster out of me.
Then I started focusing on the things that were important. "I hope you grow up to become that everything you can be
That's all I wanted for you young'n, like Father, like Son
But in the end I hope you only turn out better than me
I hope you know I love you young'n, like Father, like Son
My little man, your day is coming, coming, your day is coming, I tell you
And when it comes, just keep it running, running, just keep it running, I tell you" The Game - like father like son.
Not really a 2017 song but it fits right in my playlist.
"But baby if you were my man I'll give you everyting Show you how a real woman treat a man You would be lacking nothing Seh baby if you were my man You would be comfortable Inna yuh own house you wouldn't miserable She nah hold up yuh head Let her go, let her go
I can give you everyting you need and more" That girl Cecile can speak to your heart.
Still on matters of the heart my ninja Gilad came through " Sema, mpenzi how you been? Unaendelea aje? Ama ni aje? Sema, mpenzi how you been? Umepotelea wapi? Umefanya nini, na nani?. Unajua eti baby its cold outside....
Feeling a little spiritual so I decide to listen to ital music. "Carry we go home, Carry we go home
And bring we gone a east
Cause man a rasta man
And rasta nuh live pon no capture land
Carry we go home
An mek we settle and seize
Caw man a rasta man
And rasta nuh live pon no capture land" Big up mi man Chronix.
I got used to this now though my life is still steadily taking a nose dive." Got to live for today cause tomorrow ain't promised to me
Don't just want a piece I want my whole destiny
If you got it, I'm gone take it
If you're in it, you're coming with me
Bench warmers, get no playing time
No sleeping til I cross the line, I'm running" The Game again, old song but makes too much sense to me.
Bet by now people want to know wassup." They askin’ me, askin’ me
They askin’ me questions, man I don’t even reply to ‘em
They askin’ me, askin’ me
They askin’ me ‘bout drugs, I don’t do none’ but lie to ‘em
They askin’ me 21 questions
Over and over, I don’t do the confessions
They tryna switch up on the story
To fuck up my words, they tryna finesse me"
They thought I would die.
"We can fall in love again I wana do it all again Dance with You
Kwetu walishakupenda, kwako nilishasurrender
We ain't got no time siku zaenda" These boys from home make some good music.
I know the streets like the back of my hands. The streets raised me I won't let the streets down so I rather die on my feet than live on my knees. " Hold up to be clear, yeah (Mike Will Made-It)
I believe in miracles (yeah)
But I don't believe in waiting for 'em (nah)
You gotta make that shit happen (yeah)
In ways they cannot imagine (yeah)
Make them think it's magic (yeah)
It ain't your chain or your vehicles (yeah)
When you that nigga with the bag (yeah)" Aries (Yugo)
Here is another old time favourite that fits into my playlist very well.
"I've been real all my life, they confuse it with conceit
Since I will not lose, they try to help him cheat
But I will not lose, for even in defeat
There's a valuable lesson learned, so it evens up for me
When the grass is cut, the snakes will show" Jay-Z Blueprint 2. Needless to say so many snakes showed when I cut the grass and ofcourse I cut them snakes off too. Those are burnt bridges.
I thank my brother for making me a Lecrae fan. I have never been dissapointed ever since. " If I ever took a loss, I learned a lesson
I won't ever think I'm better than the next man
I've been down before the come up, I ain't stressin'
Baby I'm too busy countin' all these blessings"
About this time I have started learning from my mistakes. I have promised myself too many things I have entered covenants and am more than willing to take off since I have lost all unnecessary buggage.
" Sacrifices, so many sacrifices
I done gave up so much free time knowing time ain’t free
Fuck it I sacrificed it
My girl show me love, she know I made sacrifices
And if it's real real love then you make sacrifices
To get ahead man you gotta make sacrifices
Fuck it though thats how hungry my appetite is" Big Sean.
I ain't done with sacrifices yet. I can't make the same screw ups. I need a totally different playlist for 2018. So am feeling like..." She complainin' how I'm late, I ain't know it was a date
Niggas see me in person, first thing they say is, "I know you need a break"
Hell naw, I feel great, ready now, why wait?
Like a kiss from a rose, I could be the one to seal your whole fate
So be careful what you think, think about what you gon' say
Gotta deal with people straight, I got my 23's laced
It's a marathon, not a sprint, but I still gotta win the race, yeah"
Thats drake ...Sacrifices.
To say the least this year has been full of ups and downs. I live I learn. It ain't easy but still I will fight another day. Yes am convinced. And with that said I got my door open for you "17 that's your way out.
Hey "18 I think I got one for you already. ."Heatin' up, baby, I'm just heatin' up
Need ya love, not a need it is a must (yeah)
Feelin' stuck, you know how to keep me up (yeah, yeah)
Ice it up, icy like a hockey puck "
