Verse of The Week

Some folks give 'em less than good,
whole life right there, they never left the hood
The city got nuttin' for 'em,
out of sight, out of mind, so they just ignore 'em
Sit back and they twist it backwards,
nothing guaranteed, except death and taxes,
that's why they get so high,
stand in one spot, watch life go by,
and hands on the clock, go slower than the van on the block
every plan is a scam or a plot,
every man got his hand in the pot,
but nobody got a pot to piss in,
the preacher preachin', they don't stop and listen
Hard livin', cars driven at a high speed pace,
in a high speed chase, you can read between the lines in my face
I was up all night long, listening to my favorite song
(Talib Kweli, My Favorite Song, Verse 2)
