the world is

below the heavens.

i was really feeling that song today.

when i really took the time to listen to it on the ride home from school today, i derived my own meaning from it.

'who's world is it?
the world is yours.'

when Nas used it, it was a good thing.

the world was ours for the taking.
the world was ours to rule.
the world was ours to enjoy.

but Blu takes a more cynical look @ the phrase.

the world is our hell.
the world is below the heavens.
the world is our burden.
the world is our prison.

whos hell is it?
whos burden is it?
whos prison is it?

it's ours.

'f*ck jewels, i think my soul glows bright enough, and
f*ck whips, i learn more when i ride the bus, and
f*ck gold, it's bad enough we have to fight for bucks, and
f*ck hoes, cause in the end i need a wife to love, plus
heaven is the life for us.'

i love BLU.

-Dan.
