Quotes

This is a somewhat random post, just I really need to share and discuss a few quotes from songs:

"It's amazing that I made it through the maze that I was in,
Lord forgive me, I never would've made it without sin."

- Jay-Z

At the end of this quote, Jay-Z puts emphasis on the word sin and starts at a normal volume and tapers to a lower volume. Whenever I listen to it, I can truly hear the pay in his voice there, and from that I can derive that he really wants and strives for forgiveness for the things he did in his youth, things that he believes he had to do to survive. Therefore, this is a very powerful quote.

"Hey, may the best of your todays, be the worst of your tomorrows... But we ain't even thinking that far, you know what I mean?"

- Jay-Z

Another quote by Jay-Z, except this one isn't as powerful per say. This is mainly simply a wise thought at the beginning of a song. I think it means that while things feel right or good on impulse, they may come back to haunt you.
