"So they tell me it's just about over..."
"Well I'm lonely, and no one understands
The show has fallen, into the wrong hands
I am blinded, to see all that's passed
To know it was possible, to be a sadist
I have nothing, for to give
I have lost my, will to live
I lost my pride, lost my joy, and now I've lost my fear
I'd rather die, because I, am just that, unhappy here" _ Ceelo Goodie

This has always been a favorite of mine. I know I mostly post metal, but being that I am from A-town, hiphop is in my blood too. Let me first tell you that hip hop and rap are MILES apart. Hip hop is not about b*tches and hos. Especially not southern hip hop.
Goodie Mob is an acronym for "The Good Die Mostly Over Bullsh^t."
Here are some really good songs by them. Listen to the lyrics. Especially the last verse of both links. Andre' Benjamin fro Outkast is unbelieveable.

Here are the lyrics to those two verses.
Friends, Romans, countrymen lend me yo' eardrums
It was a beautiful day off in the neighborhood
Yellows and greens and blues and browns
and greys and hues that ooze beneath dilapidated woods
Ain't a thing could explain what pertains
to cocaine it's a stain that rain
See summer roll around ******z holla bout change
Then they steady move them ki's like Bob James
Cause old man winter's arrived, the temperature dives
November just died, December's alive
Thus it ain't no typical ride
Just individual's way to bring home
the bacon when bacon was all gone
Makin it our own, takin me all wrong
We've all indulged in the bulge of those no-no's
No you ain't solo, it's even lower levels you can go
Take sun people, put 'em in a land of snow

Now as an Outkast I was born, wasn't warned of the harm
That would come to meet me like Met Life, but yet life
Done sent me through a lot of up's and down like it ain't nothing'
Like elevators but I ain't the one that's pushin' the buttons
I got off at the 13th floor, when they told me that it wasn't one
They said it skipped from 12 to 14
Still smoking, still drinking, no I'm sittin' on the Lincoln
4 A.M. thinkin' that in reality the world is like a ball full of playas
We trapped off in this maze with walls made of layers
And only prayers is the tightest game that you can have
The devil's takin' a swing that might explain the broken glass

Not really my thing, but they were alright I guess. I have to listen to that at work sometimes and it gets on my nerves after a while.
I guess I'm an old timer. LOL
