Gaining One's Definition

Common and Cee-Lo have this one track that is ill mellow, yet very powerful.

Curiosity killed the catechism
Understanding and wisdom became the rhythm that I played to
And became a slave to master self
A rich man is one with knowledge, happiness and his health


Some of the stories today's teens can tell you they've been through are sure to raise many people's eyebrows. No wonder the generational and cultural gap was so evident and on display in the city council chamber this week. Sht is real in the field, B. But roses do still poke through those concrete pores. No doubt.

I like many of today's hip hop artists like common, my only complaint is that I don't always understsnd what the hell they are saying until someone writes it out someplace. I guess my ears are getting old.
