I Will Never Let You Down.
Nothing quite echoes my sentiment about never letting ya’LL down like J-Ivy’s verse on Kanye’s College Dropout.
We are all here for a reason on a particular path
You don’t need a curriculum to know that you are part of the math
Cats think I’m delirious, but I’m so damn serious
That’s why I expose my soul to the globe, the world
I’m trying to make it better for these little boys and girls
I’m not just another individual, my spirit is a part of this
That’s why I get spiritual, but I get my hymns from Him
So it’s not me, it’s He that’s lyrical
I’m not a miracle, I’m a heaven-sent instrument
My rhythmatic regimen navigates melodic notes for your soul and your mental
That’s why I’m instrumental
Vibrations is what I’m into
Yeah, I need my loot by rent day
But that is not what gives me the heart of Kunte Kinte
I’m trying to give us “us free” like Cinque
I can’t stop, that’s why I’m hot
Determination, dedication, motivation
I’m talking to you, my many inspirations
When I say I can’t, let you or self down
If I were of the highest cliff, on the highest riff
And you slipped off the side and clinched on to your life in my grip
I would never, ever let you down
And when these words are found
Let it been known that God’s penmanship has been signed with a language called love
That’s why my breath is felt by the deaf
And why my words are heard and confined to the ears of the blind
I, too, dream in color and in rhyme
So I guess I’m one of a kind in a full house
Cuz whenever I open my heart, my soul, or my mouth
A touch of God reigns out…

Listen to it in the context that my homegirl Lissa Monet plays it on The Difference Mixtape.. fucking crazy.

yesss.
not sure what you were implying with the “really?”, so no disrespect but i must say no, i didn’t get the influence of that post on this post nor did i intentionally steal it. i posted it cause i was actually listening to CD at that time i was brainstorming ideas for an essay i was writing and this is in fact one of my favourites.
now if you weren’t implying anything like that, then ignore it, lol. i do read your blog like 3 or 4 times a week and i enjoy it, so keep it up.
