More Inspiration
I found this website called http://www.hiphopinspires.us which specializes in dishing out bite-sized inspirational lyrics from songs ranging from 2Pac, to T.I., to The Roots. One of the reasons why I love hip-hop so much is that the lyrics can really tell a story or convey emotion in ways that other genres of music cannot, because of its lyrical density. Here are some of my favorites:
Sometimes before you smile you got to cry
You need a heart that’s filled with music
If you use it you can fly
The Roots - Sacrifice
I refuse to be concerned with condescending advice
‘Cause I’m the only motherfucker that can change my life
Immortal Technique - Leaving the Past
To everyone out there, who’s a little different
I say damn a magazine, these are God’s fingerprints
You can call me ugly but cant take nothing from me
I am what I am doctor you ain’t gotta love me
Brother Ali - Forest Whitiker
Any inspirational lyrics that hit you in the right spot?
