Blog #2 – Your Favorite Writing


My favorite writing piece has to be song lyrics ranging from the genres of Hip-Hop and R&B to Alternative rock. As long as the lyrics sentence structure is strong with its message and goes with the beat, you can call me good. For example, let me introduce to you Kendrick Lamar, a rapper out of Compton, California. He is my favorite artist because of his melody and truthfulness that exists in his music. One song called Hipower off his debut album Section#80, that dropped earlier this month, shows why he is true talented lyricist.

Visions of Martin Luther staring at me

If I see it how he seen it, that would make my parents happy

Sorry mama, I can't turn the other cheek

They wanna knock me off the edge like a fucking widow's peak, uhh

And she always told me pray for the weak, uhh

Them demons got me, I ain't prayed in some weeks, uhh

Dear Lord come save me, the devil's working hard

He probly clockin' double shifts on all of his jobs

Then the hook comes in:

Every day we fight the system, just to make our way

We been down for too long but that's alright

We was built to be strong cause it's our life, na-na-na

Every day we fight the system, we fight the system

We fight the system (Never like the system)

We been down for too long but that's alright, na-na-na

It’s evident that you can see the song has so much passion and meaning behind it, If you can relate to what Kendrick is trying to say, then he makes you to be a better person in life.
