I love this song! I can relate to this song not cos I'm from the ghetto but in the sense that I'm feeling the misery if life in my own way and want to get out of it "somehow someway" that's what I get out of this song.
hov is a fucking genius. take in the last few bars of his verse. hes comparing his career to the growth of a tree and how he still succeeded even though he was from a place like Marcy projects.
'seen the worst of the worst I deserve every blessing
I received I'm from the dirt
I planted my seed on unfertile land Myrtle Park
Marcy, Flushing and Nostrand and
Still I grew some how I knew the sun will shine through
Hov Sigel and Scaerface always make good trio songs together. "This cant be life" "Some How Some Way" and "Guess who Bizzack". They shoudla made and album
I dont know what happened between them 2 niggas...but Beans was definitely Scottie Pippen to Jay Z "s Jordan....ill Beat Blaze.....Hold Ya Head Brad "Mr. Scarface"...Dis STL Nigga Got U
dam jay is one of the greatest this song kinda reminds me of mr1-17 feat imc stay on da lo mr 1-17 is an upcomin artst hes on da rise yall should check him out hes got songs on you tube just search his name mr 1-17
"God willing and the creek don't rise"-southern words all day,Face nailed that.Meaning we gon make it,if all things work in our favor and it's God's will.
jigga, beans and face should do a formal supergroup album. that would be heavyweight! never hear a collabo from these three that didnt make me feel something.
@m4k3v3ll1 you must not listen to the man. its truly your loss. his sh*t is relateable &it sells because of that- if you aint feeling this- you must be a trust fund baby
oh my lord I just shed a tear when beanie said "...how the chinks gotta feed em...for the rest of the life...fuckin wings fried vegetable rice... gotta be kiddin, for breakfast capn crunch at night how kids eatin lunch at night? in they beds all bunched in tight no less than 3 or 4, you know how it go 2 by the foot 2 by the headboard..." wow I dont know wut else to say
i always fastforward thru most of jay's lyrics, in i'd say 8 out of 10 tracks, i feel like that should mean something to homes but i bet he'd call me a hater. i mean if i was a rapper and someone told me that, i would call up primo, dre and pete rock, and drop a killer for the ages, that's if i was a rapper :-)
@KBoogs719 dude look up Jay-Z "So Ghetto" Produced by DJ Premier, "I holla Brook, Brook, Brooklyn everytime I bust, radio wont play me cuz I cuss too much"
this dude said look up so ghetto, what do u think i'm some white boy from holland or something. i was banging that shit in tha streets when u was just a baby boy, so recognize game. anyways, that was his last good track. in my opinion, he sucks
what's happening with beanie and jay, those guyz make an incredible combination, this can't be life, guess who's back, do it again, ignorant shit and so on!! Like dame said, this beef is stupid
Back when Jay-Z had soul. and I'm 19 saying this shit (yes we know that now hes a clowney old man complaining about auto-tune, being mean to his BK fam- lil mama)
super super classic song! brings back memories i used to zone to this when i was ridin and smokin back in HS people need to go back and listen to the mans catalog and understand why he gets so much respect
I dont always wanna be that drug dealing mother fucker.... damn / Young boys lite things up / Young boys things lite up / L of that reefer that steamer / rest of your life fried wings vegetable rice / man Im getting scared for em/ latest rock, new glock old jordies/ One of Jay-z best !
