Wale - Ambition feat Meek Mill and Rick Ross Hip Hop Lyrical Inspiration 001

Now I move with aggression

Use my mind as a weapon

‘cause chances are never given

they’re taken like interceptions

Hip Hop Lyrical Inspiration

Most non 'Heads' have a negative perception of Hip Hop. They hear the language and not the message. I, on the other hand, have always ignored the language and try to find the message. Growing up in (insert your town here; for me it was Detroit) there are lots of examples and life lessons; some good, some bad. I always try to learn something from them all. The purpose of the Hip Hop Lyrical Inspiration series will be to expose you to some of the jewels of knowledge that are contained in Hip Hop Lyrics and how they have affected me.

Now I move with aggression

This line symbolizes the way I live my life. I don't always make moves but when I do it is deliberate and intentional. I am in 100% or not at all.

Use my mind as a weapon

Growing up I realized that your mind is the only weapon that cannot be taken from you. Knowledge is power!

‘cause chances are never given

The world does not revolve around you. No one will have your well being in mind except you. Nothing will ever be given to you. Which leads to:

they’re taken like interceptions

You have to do what is right for you!. You make your own luck by being prepared.
