(Lyric philosophy.. some may want to skip it)

Music has a way of amplifying our emotions. If people already feel rage, and you write a rage-filled song, it can have an effect much like throwing gasoline on a fire. In that sense, playing to the stereotype can be very powerful. But there is much debate about whether or not violent music is socially responsible, or whether it promotes the acting out of rage.

Music can also open doors that lead us to reconsidering existing opinions, emotions amd life choices. When we write songs countering the attitudes that lead us in bad directions, it can have a stabilizing effect on the listener.

This song honestly states that living in the projects sucks. The central character is tired of it. It neither glorifies poverty nor encourages the poor to kill the wealthy. It victimizes nobody. The acknowledgement of discomfort is the beginning of motivation, and I think that's a good message to send.


I neglected to say earlier that I really liked the many clever approaches used in this song! Rharv, your musical creativity and mastering skill is very impressive. Manning, your vocals are very good! Kudos to both of you.


as stated by other posters, these are just my opinions. Nobody's opinion overrides anyone else's. Liberty exists when people can put their stuff on the table openly, and people can comment on it openly, and none of them are penalized. I hope we always have this kind of liberty
