Blu - Tilwedie

In ‘06 Nas famously declared that “hip hop is dead.” There was such heated debate over the subject and it really amused me. Clearly the fact that there was such a debate in the first place was testament to it’s health. There will always be people who claim that they hate hip hop and that hip hop today sucks. I used to get in arguments with these people but now it just makes me smile. People don’t understand that there is always good music being made daily. People who don’t like one kind of music usually base their evaluation on a very limited exposure to two or three different commercial artists because that is the only means by which they have bothered to access it. Music emerges from rich subcultures. People who make broad sweeping statements about their musical taste can do so, but sometimes I wonder if people who claim to hate modern day hip hop really have even bothered looking into artists like Blu…

Lyrics below

Laugh now
Cry never
Never mind, nice guys finish fine
I guess
The ever fly, Used to be fresh
But now I’m wise
Guy’s
Try to imply
Like I should optimize on lies and cries
I find it harder now to author nouns and sounds
It’s like
Couldn’t believe I was really bout to father a child
*When all of this foul
*World grows above the canal
All the options
Cloggin and crowdin’
Little Knoggins’
With products instead a knowledge
Unbalanced
And it bothers nobody cause she fine as hell
So she whine’s/wine’s
And dines
And tells more lies
Trynna find herself
Fell on ma knees today to find myself
And it helps when It ain’t no one around to tell the truth to
When I’m not have the guy/God I use to be
Use too
Who be?
Use to say
You the truth too
Now I’m just Truthful
Truthfully it hurts
Usually worse
Used to be worse
Running from comfort
Cause I wouldn’t conform, or convert
Now I just converse
About how much love hurts
And how good God is
And how much I want more for ma kids
Cause life is not fair
But it does not stop there
Do what you got til you drop
But don’t trip me dear
It’s God’s here
Right here

[Verse 2:Blu]
Whatever you be on is you nigga
Whatever I be on the good God got me on
I try to lone through the winter
Jottin’ home in poems
Trynna remember the warmth when the storms pass
Blue skies
Sunshine ma minds forecast
Not like I was born last week
Complete ma format
Ma perspective gets deep
Ma lessons have been collectin’ like Blessings
The exchange rate is beautiful too
Proving that truth can override anything but love
So God Bless you
A timeless
Life a
Stressin’ this fight with lust
I try to put my life love up above you but
God
Mom
Music
Movies
Movin’ the world with a duty to truly be something worthy of
Lavish ass pad’s
Wit cars
And all types a devices
Must be nice if happiness is priceless
Right
Price my life
An y’all can have the ranger bright lights and fame
For some change you can change if your souls intact
An it’s hard to beat that with a bat
Most cats get wit this
It’s 08 jack
I stick wit that
Boon bap mind state
96 mind flip, get money
Other than that
We praise God
Sometimes I play y’all
Never did play cards or
Video games
I was eight trynna navigate principle aim
Multiplin’ ma visual game
By ma spiritual gain
Divided truth by pain
Still steerin’ the plane
Like the pilots do it
Sun shine
And in the sky is Blu
So high
Wave hi we just ridin’ through
No titles, No idols, No pride
No time to prove to you why we fly we just do US
And we trust that you do you
That’s what we was brought up to do
