Music, a magician with a wand, that can calm the soul, and make the soul go wild.
Though it seems like, "just a word," the power of music can heal somebody and also, ruin a persons life. Depending on what you listen to.
In general, we all have the music we like to listen to. Some R&B, some are hardcore hiphop fans, some listen to regae, afro 9ja, and even, amapiano. oh i love vibing to amapiano, but not my type of songs though.
I love many genre of songs. Christian, Amapiano, Pop, Regae. I like anything good. Most times, i prefer good lyrics, meaningful ones that have good impact on a person. For the records, my favourite genre, is, Hiphop. But i vibe to all songs.
So, the part you've all been waiting for.
My favourite song is..........
drums roll please 馃
Rock bottom by Eminem.
I'm a huge fan of Eminem. i like his other songs - sing for the moment, who knew, not afraid, stan, houdini, til' i collapse..... and the list goes on. But, i find myself drawn to this paticular song.
Rock bottom, is a song that was sang many years ago, so, it is not a new song. It was sang when eminem was having a hard time with his life. He spat some bars in the song. I could honestly relate to some of his bars.
The song's intro says:
Ayo, this song is dedicated
To all the happy people
All the happy people who have real nice lives
And have no idea what it's like to be broke as fuck
Most people have been in this shoe before. Boke, empty, no hopes, frustrated and feeling like you're not doing enough. Welp, there ae people that have never been broke in their life. Ever.
Most times it gets to a point where you feel like stealing, is the only option. Life is shit. Life is rose. sometimes, your hard and smart work makes things hard, instead of easy. Sometimes, motivation is lost, but then, its either you keep going, or you keep going. No backing out.
Another thing, he said that interest me:
Minimum wage got my adrenaline caged
Full of venom and rage, 'specially when I'm engaged
And my daughter's down to her last diaper, it's got my ass hyper
I pray that God answers, maybe I'll ask nicer
Watchin' ballers while they flossin' in they Pathfinders
These overnight stars becomin' autograph-signers
We all long to blow up and leave the past behind us
No cap, the wages of our works is barely enough to even pay the transport fare, from our house to the place, where we work. My country, has many of such jobs, that have low pay.
Even with the hardship of the country, some people are cruising in expensive cars and gadget.
I have lots of memories with this song. a lot. I remember one when i always put this song on repeat. Its actually nice that the cause of my depression was solved.
