I love when people give hip hop and rap lyricists the deference and respect that they are entitled to.

So when I rhyme it's sincerely yours
Be lightin' L's sippin' Coors, on all floors of project halls
Contemplatin' war 🥷 I was cool with before
We used to score together, Uptown copping the raw
But uh, a thug changes, and love changes
And best friends become strangers, word up.. The Message

I think the first ones amazing in terms of imagination, but Sleep is not the cousin of death. It’s the opposite of the cousin of death. Sleep is literally there so we can rejuvenate and heal.

My intellect prevails from a hangin' cross with nails
I reinforce the frail with lyrics that's real
Word to Christ, a disciple of streets, trifle on beats
I decipher prophecies through a mic and say, "Peace"

Ninjas fear what they don’t understand, hate what they can’t conquer, I guess that’s just the theory of man.

Is a great line. The Greeks described sleep as the brother of death. They are actually twins.
