Destroys me every time.
Death is real Someone's there and then they're not And it's not for singing about It's not for making into art When real death enters the house, all poetry is dumb When I walk into the room where you were And look into the emptiness instead All fails My knees fail My brain fails Words fail Crusted with tears, catatonic and raw I go downstairs and outside and you still get mail A week after you died a package with your name on it came And inside was a gift for our daughter you had ordered in secret And collapsed there on the front steps I wailed A backpack for when she goes to school a couple years from now You were thinking ahead to a future you must have known Deep down would not include you Though you clawed at the cliff you were sliding down Being swallowed into a silence that's bottomless and real It's dumb And I don't want to learn anything from this I Love you

I think about how this relates to politics all the time. Whatever’s happening with politics is what is happening with us.
Listen, people be askin' me all the time "Yo, Mos, what's gettin' ready to happen with Hip-Hop?" (Where do you think Hip-Hop is goin'?) I tell em, "You know what's gonna happen with Hip-Hop? Whatever's happening with us" If we smoked out, Hip-Hop is gonna be smoked out If we doin' alright, Hip-Hop is gonna be doin' alright People talk about Hip-Hop like it's some giant livin' in the hillside Comin' down to visit the townspeople We are Hip-Hop Me, you, everybody, we are Hip-Hop So Hip-Hop is going where we going So the next time you ask yourself where Hip-Hop is going Ask yourself, "Where am I going? How am I doing?" 'Til you get a clear idea So if Hip-Hop is about the people And the Hip-Hop won't get better until the people get better Then how do people get better? (Hmm)

👀 when my wife and I were researching for our wedding, we settled on a Garfield cake topper.
