Lifestylez Ov Da Poor & Dangerous, that be my bible Telly (Ft. Silas G) – Higher Than Coolie

If you’re familiar with my music, you can tell that Big L has an influence on it. He’s my favorite and I play his debut album all the time, but especially when I’m writing music to get new ideas and practices different flows.

When he date, he straight, chip off his own papa

When a son starts dating and learning more about females, dads don’t find it a bad thing (probably because they’ve been through it), but it’s different when females start dating because dads become overprotective.

When their daughters bring a boy home, because of this protective attitude, fathers usually try and intimidate him – although not usually with a sawed-off shotgun as Nas is contemplating (although the issue with the condoms may have Nas' trust in her dented and he may be just that angry…)

Nas refers to a double standard in parenting. If the child had been a boy and gone out on dates, Nas would have been proud of him and considered him to be a “chip off his own papa”(chip of his own block). However, he gets really possessive of his daughters that he waits behind the front door with a shotgun because no man is is good enough for his ‘princess’.

For my brothers with daughters we got this. Eminem would have been a perfect feature, for remix of this beautiful piece of art.

When Nas says that no one is good enough means two things :
1. a boy that his daughter brings may one day be her husband and normally a husband will take the position of her father. Saying that no one is not good enough means that Nas is jealous of the situation that one day he must live in.

  1. Who can replace a father ? No One.

Really liked this song, had to take it for a spin Telly – No Greater Love

Before I wrote this song, I had this song and Below the Heavens on repeat before I wrote it. I wanted to cover it in some lines, but also put my own spin on it.

They say the chase is half the fun
But not when home girl ain't showing no love Telly – No Greater Love

Somebody told me that what makes a relationship or connection with anyone is the chase to get their attention. Once you get that person, people often don’t put in the same effort they did to get that person.
