It's rarely that I ever do this, and for whatever reason I'm fully aware that many of our rappers unfortunately receive a lot of flack, but when I heard Nipsey Hu$$les "Bigger Than Life" new release ft June Summers to be short....it took my breath away because it expresses the right and exact sentiment that I feel I've always and continue to carry as a man throughout my life today at this very moment! The ups, the downs, and twist and turns within your inner conscious. Man I wish the world could read/hear sh!t like this and focus on whats real instead of all these raggedy ass blogs, news and media publications, and talk shows etc. losing focus of themselves. So I'm also attaching the audio file for you to hear as well to understand how the lyrics have been formulated

Lyrics....
I dont want your love
it’s not why I make music
I owe myself, I told myself back then that I would do this
and I always look so out of reach
it just seems so confusing
that I felt my place in life
a young black man its seems so useless
that I don’t want no help
just let me suffer through this
The world would not know Jesus Christ if there was never Judas
this knife thats in my back
it’d be the the truth that introduced us
and the distance in between us
its the proof of my conclusion
so life is what you make it
I hope you make a movement
hope your opportunity survives the opportunist
hoping as you walk across the sand you see my shoeprint
and you follow, til it change your life, it’s all an evolution
and I hope you find your passion, cause I found mine in this music
but I hope it’s not material cause that’s all an illusion
I been boxed in all my life
So tell me why in da f*ck I shouldn't wild at light
Underneath the city lights
Everybody wanna play so everybody gotta pay the price
Just to get a luxury in life
Where you can get cut by the knife just for flashing a piece of ice
And where demons can hide, and wake up right next to you by your side
So I'm going for mine
Because everything ain't what it seems according to the hands of time
Mass collisions and suicide
Global suspicions of religions corroding the manuscripts of God
I didn't grow up in Oz
But I know that us and this planet ain't the only ones involved
Politicians mistaken the law, trying to design the divine principles of what God's
Sometimes I sit an wonder what pharaohs seen sitting looking at the stairs
Or whats in my grandmothers heart, when she has to watch sin bury the next generation of little boys
I don't know where it starts
Or how it begins
But I know that it ain't over
When will it ever end
Where the struggles of men, extend to even getting exploited due to the color of their skin
Maybe that's what Malcolm meant or Gandhi blast
Or Jesse James ran for when that nigga hauled ass
We need revolution back, before evolution wipes human existence right off the map
Or maybe I'm running my yap
But we still gotta raise our families so you do the math
Stand up like a man and react
Or hold your hands like a coward and look and laugh
I been boxed in all my life So tell me why in da fuck I shouldn't wild at light Underneath the city lights Everybody wanna play so everybody gotta pay the price Just to get a luxury in life Where you can get cut by the knife just for flashing a piece of ice And where demons can hide, and wake up right next to you by your side So I'm going for mine Because everything ain't what it seems according to the hands of time Mass collisions and suicide Global suspicions of religions corroding the manuscripts of God I didn't grow up in Oz But I know that us and this planet ain't the only ones involved Politicians mistaken the law, trying to design the divine principles of what God's Sometimes I sit an wonder what pharaohs seen sitting looking at the stairs Or whats in my grandmothers heart, when she has to watch sin bury the next generation of little boys I don't know where it starts Or how it begins But I know that it ain't over When will it ever end Where the struggles of men, extend to even getting exploited due to the color of their skin Maybe that's what Malcolm meant or Gandhi blast Or Jesse James ran for when that nigga hauled ass We need revolution back, before evolution wipes human existence right off the map Or maybe I'm running my yap But we still gotta raise our families so you do the math Stand up like a man and react Or hold your hands like a coward and look and laugh ...Patience
