“The toughest and meanest often aren’t for hire. Think of water, it kills fire. Most amazing of the amazing, water is the shit, behind inspiring speeches – always pools of spit .” Some raps from a student who’s songs I’m liking. She wrote something about mind games, how people try to control their mind and yet it isn’t possible because what’s called “you” or “I” isn’t separate from mind, it is mind. “You, talking problems of mind, You ain’t seein’ nothing ‘cept proving you’re blind. There ain’t two places, there ain’t two spaces, just ’cause you name it, just ’cause you blame it don’t mean you tamed it” and her work made me think the mind is like water too. Maybe that’s my song not hers.
