Even your superficial raps is super official.

Today is the first time in a long time that I actually listened to the lyrics in songs. 

I have been listening to so much rap lately. My best friend makes beats and I have found myself being entranced by the simplicity of rap songs, yet the complexity of the lyrics.  I love the witty sayings from Kanye and Wheezy. My favorite quotes are "If a stripper named Porsche and you get tips from many men, then your fat friend her nickname is Minivan" Kanye  and "On the court I love sports that's why I play my bitches cuz I got game. Lil Wayne. 

This morning I was working on a paper and decided that listening to Lupe's "The Cool" was not conducive to my papers progress soI put a play list that I made years ago. I started to listen to the lyrics of these songs, and for 5 songs in a row I felt like I could relate. It was like my thoughts were being sung by someone else. It was eerie.
This is funny because I can't relate to the majority of the rap songs, but songs about relationships and breaking up really hit home. How pathetic am I?

I am just gonna bank on this emotional feeling correlating with my 3 hours of sleep.
