Where in the world is all the time?
So many things I still don't know (Uh-uh, hey)
So many times I've changed my mind
Guess I was born to make mistakes
But I ain't scared to take the weight
So when I stumble off the path (Yeah)
I know my heart will guide me back (Yeah) J. Cole – Too Deep for the Intro

This is a sample from Erykah Badu’s “Didn’t Cha Know”.
This acts as a conscious awakening; realizing there’s work to be done, yet it feels like there isn’t enough time. On top of it all, you’re still constantly learning and growing, rearranging your beliefs as you go along the way. You realize this is probably the journey in itself, reassured that mistakes are a part of the growth.

This song was written by Jhene while reflecting on having an abortion.
She’s saying that she’s destined for greatness but fame wouldn’t be the best thing for her child and she’s torn between living for her dreams or living for her child. Fortunately, she found a happy medium.

Kendrick is exclaiming a debatable statement by saying he is the greatest rapper in the game right now.
Kendrick repeats that he is the ‘Best Rapper Alive’ 3 times then tells Lil' Wayne to swallow his pride because Lil' Wayne is always publicly exclaiming that he is the best rapper alive, not because general consensus deems that he is the best. The genius in this verse is that he repeats it 3 times to demonstrate within the metaphor how often Lil' Wayne had been saying it, then tells him to ‘swallow his pride’ because the claim is innaccurate and conceited and to create a double entendre and big up his own incredible rapping ability.

Even thought times are bad, at least Pac knows there will be better dayz. Praying was difficult for Pac because it resurfaces all the tragedies he remembers when doing so, and the fact that it simply doesn’t work sometimes. Maybe this explains why he had to make his own ghetto gospel.
Even thought 2Pac never claimed a god, he did write a passionate poem about God.
