8 Songs on Repeat ATM, 4.4.18
I haven’t been up to much lately, just the usual: writing. I’ve been writing personal blogs, lifestyle blogs, short posts for the running diary, posts for A Few Moments with Ratha David Loun, and of course I’ve been getting back to writing and recording music. Life is a process, a process in which progress and growth aren’t guaranteed. I’m learning that more and more each day. You have to be able to lock in and push the boundaries of your comfort zone. After, you need to be able to reflect in order to learn. Life is an effort-thing. With enough effort, eventually you’ll cross paths with a little bit of luck, and that’s when the magic happens. I’m still waiting for the unexplainable to happen. It’s taking a bit longer than I thought, but all I can do is try, which is the effort I’m putting forth now.
Music has been at a standstill lately, nothing new is worth my time these days. Maybe I’m not progressive enough to appreciate today’s music, I guess I’m officially an old-head now. Every once in a while, I’ll come across a batch of songs that inspire me or make me feel more. Here, I have a playlist of 8 songs on repeat at the moment with quotes of my favorite lyrics from each song. Check it out and let me snow what you think!
“I need your attention
I know the last nigga failed the mission
You like the shower or the kitchen
I would be a fool if I didn’t listen...”
“Leave that front window open for a breeze
Rollin’ high and getting faded overseas...”
“I told them bitches I’m something they should believe in
I told my mama they can’t reach me, hit the ceilin’
Baby this is just the beginning, it’s preseason
I know that you can tell I got it though...”
“Maybe I should not be drinkin’, before you ask me just how I feel
Maybe I should not be drinkin’, ‘fore I speak my mind, that’s not ideal
Yeah I got a girlfriend, yeah I should be faithful
I think of you like Wi-Fi, and I think of her like cable...”
“I wish we were both somebody else
So you wouldn’t be somebody else’s
I don’t wanna lay here by myself
I ain’t afraid to say I’m selfish...”
“Shawty whats your name?
Where do you stay?
Do you need some DNA?
Can you turn your phone off....”
“She say I only love the way she drop it, well maybe so
She say I’ll probably leave if she don’t pop it, we’ll never know
Cause she get down on us, scrub the ground on it, with no shame
Give her time on it, roll around on it, do her thang
I ain’t, the type to trick but she go hard for the cause...”
“In the trap, got off a whole thang
I flushed it all when them folks came
Aye, I might sacrifice a two just, so I can make ten
Got it out the street, made my name in the pavement
I wasn’t in the club, put it up, I was savin’...”
