To elope means to run off secretly with someone with the intention to get married… So perhaps once Lamar grows tired of the fleeting and vapid fame, he will run off into obscurity with his girl.

Like most rappers, and I suppose like most people in general, Lamar wants to leave a lasting legacy, he wants to be remembered. In a world in which there are over 7,000,000,000 human beings, that is a task much easier said than done… But Lamar isn’t dwelling on that, instead, he’s motivated to get going and do all he can with his limited time on earth.

You can’t take your money with you to the grave. All the money in the world might not be enough to stave of the inevitable, as seen with entrepreneur and innovator Steve Jobs.

His has been a meteoric rise from obscurity and a lowly financial position, to fame and wealth… And he’s made that much money, that when he makes it, all his “fam” make it too!

Big Sean’s tale is the classic rages to riches tale, and like most rappers, he is trying to convince us here of his realness, “stay who I become”.

Life is fleeting… When you step outside your front door, you never know what could happen, “it could all end in one night”.

A jibe at Romney and the allegation that his companies have outsourced many jobs that Americans could have filled?

Romney had four words for Detroit… “Let Detroit go bankrupt”. Obama came back with four words of his own… “Not on my watch.”

“The ultimate measure of man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.” — Martin Luther King Jr.

Michelle is here alluding to Barack’s infamous “You didn’t build that” line… However, the line should not be infamous, as his words were taken seriously out of context. He did not say that small business owners were not responsible for their success. He said basically what Michelle is saying here; that if you’re successful, you got help somewhere along the way… be it help from a teacher who nurtured and inspired you, or be it the invaluable help from workers and engineers who made transportation and communication so simple and effective with the road structures and technological advances that have been made.
