MUSIC WITH A RIGHTEOUS MESSAGE… A LOOK IN TO 80’S RAP DUO ERIC B. AND RAKIM’S SONG “PAID IN FULL”..
Greetings everyone, I decided to start I new category on the blog that deals with music with a (righteous) message. For many reasons I advise people to be cautious of the music they allow to enter their ears. The wrong kind of music can do damage,
I will leave it at that… This is why I decided to provide what could be viewed as a righteous play-list for those who understand what I mean by the “damage” that the wrong music can do. I will be posting to this category often so stay tuned. The first song I am choosing is one that impacted me a lot as a child. It is a song by the 80’s rap duo Eric B. and Rakim. I will include a segment from the lyrics as well as a you-tube audio clip of the song at the end of the article. Please take time to internalize how I illustrate the lyrics of this song. It can be a useful tool for you or for when you want your children to see a unique angle of what you want them to learn, and now for the lyrics.
“Thinkin of a master plan
YOU MUST HAVE A PLAN FOR HOW YOU WILL NOT ALLOW YOUR TEMPTATIONS TO RUIN YOUR LIFE…Cuz ain’t nuthin but sweat inside my hand
So I dig into my pocket, all my money is spent
So I dig deeper but still comin up with lint
LACKING ESSENTIALS IS A PROBLEM FACING US ALL. A RIGHTEOUS MASTER PLAN IS INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT…So I start my mission- leave my residence
Thinkin how could I get some dead presidents
FIND A RIGHTEOUS WAY TO GET IT!
I need money, I used to be a stick-up kid
So I think of all the devious things I did
TURN AWAY FROM THE UNRIGHTEOUS PATTERNS AND TEMPTATIONS…I used to roll up, this is a hold up, ain’t nuthin funny
Stop smiling, cos still, don’t nuthin move but the money
But now I learned to earn cos I’m righteous
MY A HABIT OF DOING THE RIGHT THING…I feel great! So maybe I might just
Search for a 9 to 5, if I strive
Then maybe I’ll stay alive”
RIGHTEOUS REPETITION IS THE PATHWAY TO SELF MASTERY.That is only 2 thirds of the song. It is my hope that this post inspired you or your children or both. There are so ways to come up with a righteous master plan to attack the “lack” in life. I will include many links to resources that will aid you in creating a master plan. Please share this article with whomever you think it can help., and as always Godspeed in your quest for self mastery under the Kingdom of Heaven.
