Let's see what this guy sounds like because he sounds like he's got a lot to say even though he's sing all those song but
This is the one I will be buying and listen to
So today we're gonna have you read some lyrics from top songs all by one artist and have you tell us the meaning and what
You think and then after you'll get to listen to the songs you read and tell us your thoughts. Okay boy, that's exciting
It's just the current artists. Okay, that would be a challenge
I surprised myself sometimes that I know the artist and I know the song so yeah, I think this is a lot of fun. Yeah
They say they want the realness
rap about my real life
Told me I should just quit first of all you talk white
Second off you talk like you haven't given up yet rap Stepfather
Yeah
You hate me but you will respect sounds like he's really trying to say
Just get out of my way and let me do my thing
I get this about being real cuz rap is always like sort of like digging down into the soul of things like
Really putting it out there. He feels he's gonna still be
successful and that people will respect him in in my father owned half of MoMA and
Did it with no diploma?
You're off
Got no rules
tripping off of them toadstools
More green than my whole foods and I'm too fly Jeff
Jeff Goldblum got a glass house in the Palisades
that aka
white hood white hood
Okay. Okay. Okay. Well, that's the Motor Museum are okay my father on half a moment. Well, so and did it with no diploma
So he worked it was the hard-working guy and I'm too fly
Well, he's rhyming Jeff Goldblum cuz he did the fly and then got a glass house in the Palisades
Well, he's kind of like saying okay, you may not like what I have to say
You may not like my rap, but I hate I'm so successful. I got a glass house in the Palisades
How do you like them apples he?
Has money now he can live in the area. Whatever you we call us
What type of neighborhood whoever the people in the neighborhood against him? It comes across?
Being like the Ku Klux Klan and when I was growing up now
I'm not a plus not a good time in America, but something everybody needs to know about. It's kind of like a
Double meaning here. We call double entendre. I used to care what people thought
But now I care more I mean nobody out here has got to figure it out
So therefore I have lost all hopes of happy ending
Depending on whether or not is worth it so insecure no one's perfect. We spend it with no shame
We blow that like Coltrane
we in here like Rogaine and
Leave it like Cobain. I think most artists are insecure. You know, they wonder
Where they will I make it am I good enough?
Should I keep pushing? I might not be like other people just accept me as I am
Faults and all we spend it like with no shame. We blow like Coltrane. It was a jazz musician
Rogaine which I haven't tried yet, but I probably should give it a shot sounds like he's got some success. He's got some money
And he's blowing the money daylight. I wake up feeling like you won't play right?
I used to know but now that don't feel right. It made me put away my pride
but stay woke and we're
creeping
They gonna find you gonna catch you sleeping
Put your hands up on me. Now. Don't you close your eyes? So it's possible. This is some
love thing maybe this guy's been jilted in and there's been
His yeah his hearts broken or whatever. His pride is hurt
He felt that he knows that partner before but no longer
they're gonna find you out that maybe you're phony that you not you're not who you present yourself to be and
They're gonna catch you sort of sleep and maybe sort of like you're putting on but you're you know
Like the mask is gonna be ripped off this whole
Thing is sad. It's very negative. There's a lot of hurt here. This is America. Don't get you slippin now
Look how I'm living now. Please be trippin now
Yeah, this is America guns in my area. I got the strap. I got a carrier
that's definitely trying to
reflecting the current
society's
Scenario, yeah
this is
America where we're all supposed to be free and equal but this is the truth of what I'm telling you part of our culture is
guns, unfortunately, now we have to find a way to
sensibly
regulate guns because we got video now we can see what police are doing out here and
This seems to be just guns guns guns guns guns
Everywhere and he's saying he's got to strap. He's got to get one too. Now. I got the strap
You don't need to that you don't need to carry guns
Just stay in school make America great in your own way. You're just a black man in this world
You're just a bar code. You're just a black man in this world. It's just one of the numbers
in the society
Recall us how successful that this person is. It's a bar code in other words
He just like everyone else
Part of the mass and most people feel like they're part of the mass and they have no hope and that lets causes problems
You're born black. What are you gonna do with it? Make some choices make the world better. I'm just a meat puppet
I'm another number
and
I could go down too if I get caught in the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong cop and I'm just a
black man in this world trying to survive
So do you any idea whose lyrics you've been reading no, I don't it could be Connie
I have no idea. I'd be curious to know I've been reading Donald Glover
These were lyrics to songs from Childish Gambino's repertoire never heard of them. Oh now, I don't know this childish gambino
So childish gambino is a man of many hats. His real name is Donald Glover. He acted in the NBC show community
He also created stars and sometimes directs episodes of the FX series, Atlanta
So the guy's Got Talent coming out of his ears
This is the kind of guy that the multi-talented person who's gonna be successful. Most things that he does. Oh my good
This is mind-boggling. I didn't know I didn't make the connection that that was the same
Young man. Well, let's play you the song here
Let's see what this guy sounds like because he sounds like he's got a lot to say
Is he angry
You sound a lot younger than I thought
Sounds like is a great producer on that heavy bass and B
Got no rules. I like to be more green to my whole foods and I'm too fly Jeff Goldblum. Oh, I heard that
For me it sounds like wow you just thrown everything back in in in everybody's face
I used to care what people thought but now I care more man. Nobody out. Now this this I can understand therefore
I've lost all hope this was more melody depending on exactly later Larry itself. Sure. No one's perfect
We spend it with no shame. We bloated like Coltrane
We ain't here like low gain or leave it psycho bang we leave is like Rogaine
He's telling it
That sounds like Prince a
Little more lowdown jazzy, I like this kind of sound
I like
This is nice
Nice beat this more of a regular kind of saw which I can sort of relate to
There's a lot of bleeps
Even though he's sing all those song but this is the one I will be buying and listen to
At least be trippin now don't understand what that means
I
Think this type of song I gotta carry him. He's trying to come up your blood
Like this golly the guy's got a wonderful voice he's got a terrific style of music but
He just seemed so angry
