I chose to post this video because I feel that the story being displayed in this song relates to me. I feel that this song creates a really strong feeling towards success. If you listen to the song you will hear how Lupe is explaining to his audience that when success is placed right under your feet you shouldn't walk on it, but step over it. He talks about his happiness towards achieving what he set out for so long ago. In this song, a really strong quote is said.This quote is, "IF YOU ARE WHAT YOU SAY YOU ARE THEN HAVE NO FEAR." What I think Lupe is trying to say in this quote is that aslong as your proud of your own success and living a life that you want to live then enjoy it. This quote doesn't only symbolize joy, but it symbolizes confidence and wisdom. It symbolizes confidence in your wisdom. This song is a really big motivation towards me. I too am a rapper with a huge dream and often question my path towards success. On a daily basis I would have to say that I think about my life-long goal atleast two-hundred times a day. Whenever I feel disapointed discouraged I just look back to my past and remember why I live the way that I live. Wether people belive me or not when I say I live for music I mean I really do live for music. When I rap I dont rap just becuase theres a nice feeling behind it , which there is , but I rap because my life depends on it. Several stages in my life have supported the thought of escape, the thought of flying into the sky and beggining a new life in heaven. But, what keeps me going is music. What keeps my family going after a notice of inviction is music. My music is the future of my family.
