Verse of The Week

With new joints this week featuring Jay-Z, Nas, The Game, Common, Lupe Fiasco, Raekwon, The Gza, and others; you know you had to come correct to grab the Verse of The Week. I pretty much want to put this whole joint up as Verse of The Week, but then you know that might be bending the rules too much, so I had to make a tough decision and I went with the first verse from The Game. The whole song is tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King and all 3 verses come correct but I had to pick one and I felt like this one was the best.

Verse of The Week

Second floor of my hotel, I'm rollin' up 'bout to blaze,
and zone out to this Frankie Beverly & Maze
As I daze about the past and them days in the past
He set my mind free, so my mind free at last
So much that I don't even drink from a fuckin' glass
I'd rather find the first fountain I can and do it fast
Didn't understand the dream of a King, but do the math
Coincidentally on your birthdays I ditched the class
Cause the younger me, dumber me, was chasing the cash
Chasing the ass, low life with his face in the grass
Ridin' home from school in front of the bus,
not even thinking 'bout how Rosa Parks done it for us
How she stayed behind bars and she done it for us,
and she stayed behind bars 'til she won it for us
Sometimes I wanna give up or at least take a break,
that's when I close my eyes and see Coretta Scott's face
(The Game, Letter To The King, Verse 1)
