I want to share hip hop lyrics with meaning...hip hop that matters. I have always found inspiration in music, and my love of hip hop is uncontainable. I hope the tumblr universe enjoys.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor

Sorry 4 the wait
I just moved to Amsterdam two days ago, so I haven’t been tumbling like I should. But hiphopmatters will return.
Best music video I’ve seen in years.
Uh, and I know it’s just a fantasy
I cordially invite you to ask why can’t it be?
Now we can do nothing bout the past
But we can do something about the future that we have

Song of the Day #55
Big KRIT & Yelawolf - Happy Birthday Hip Hop
Yo, what becomes of a dream deferred
that never makes it to the world to be seen or heard
Do it breathe? Do it got a heartbeat? Is it alive?
Do it leave, only to become a star in the sky?
I believe, no scratch that I know, this ain’t my full potential
Only usin 10 percent of my mental on instrumentals
But incidentally my, energy heavenly
Can he be so ill there ain’t no, pill or no remedy
The, maker of memories posess the recipe to your fate
Make no mistake there ain’t no escapin your destiny
Especially when, ‘til death do us part, like wedding rings
I’ll be here forever, put that on e’rything

SONG OF THE DAY, FEEL-Good
summertime jamz
Paint a picture and show the deaf what it’s like to listen,
And speak the words and tell a blind man what he missin.
For all my niggas doin’ time man up in prison,
Thought you had to resort to crime, man fuck the system.
We raisin’ babies up in hades where it ain’t’ no hope.
Ain’t no fathers don’t take no scholarship to slang no dope.
Politicians hollerin bout’ problems but I ain’t gon’ vote.
He talk bout change still we floatin in the same ol’ boat.
So tell me how I’m suppose to feel what the president spoke,
When he ain’t neva had to struggle ain’t neva been broke.
Ain’t even roll through the ghetto, ain’t neva been close.
Trusting this government like trusting the devil an oath.
J. Cole: I Get Up
The Warm Up
Lil Joker gotta gun he bought on the street,
To go and kill the niggas that beat him up last week,
Cuz he dont let go none of his past beef,
Bullets flyin out the window,
Shells landin on the seats.
