I think the song is called "trying".
I have a song burnt on a disc, but I don't know who it is.
The song says to a group of kids...
"People are you ready/
---Yes we're ready,
Are you ready to carry some wieght?
---We want to be ready"
...anyway, this is a song that represents coming of age, and just being a grown man. And still the track is really dope.
What are some other songs comparable to this one?
-
Ah man, you gotta know who that is! That's the fabulously incredible De La Soul, the song features Cee Lo on the hook.
Yeah, that's a great song. I'd say that's one of the best 'grown up' rap songs I've heard, definately. Testament to Plug One's underratedness as an mc.
-
Oh, and I BELIEVE it's called "Trying People" off the top of my head.
-
O.K., I got that all fucked up. First, that's not the song with Cee Lo, and second, that's Dave, not posdynous. Still a great song, though.
-
Thanks man, props.
Honestly, this may suprise people, they think cause I'm a Muslim I listen to Muslim rappers all the time. But really, this may be the first De La Soul song I've ever played in my stereo. And I didn't even know that it was De La Soul until you told me.
-
You should download as much possible De La Soul as you can. Get "Stakes Is High". They're unbelievable.

Off the top of my head
Nas feat. Quan- Just a Moment
Can we please have a moment for children?
Who got raped or murdered, or trapped in the system
Who never knew their father, never learned to dream
But was guided by drug dealers, killers and crack fiends
For single mothers that's forced to play mom and dad
Bustin' her ass to give her kids shit she never had
For my niggaz in the pen hopin' rhymes'll get 'em signed
So when released, they can say bye to a life of crime
For every mother that held a son in the street bleedin'
Cryin' a song of sorow to dark and deep for speakin'
Just a moment outside the day to day struggle
To let the ones we really care about know that we love 'em

Jadakiss- Why?
Yo, why is Jadakiss as hard as it gets?
Why is the industry designed to keep the artist in debt?
And why them dudes ain't ridin' if there part of your set?
And why they never get it poppin' but they party to death?
Yea, and why they gon give you life for a murder
Turn around only give you eight months for a burner? it's goin down
Why they sellin' niggaz CD's for under a dime?
If it's all love daddy why you come wit your nine?
Why my niggaz ain't get that cake?
Why is a brother up North better than Jordan?, That ain't get that break
Why you ain't stackin' instead of tryin' to be fly?
Why is rattin' at an all time high? Why are you even alive?
Why they kill Tupac n' Chris?
Why at the bar you ain't take straight shots instead of poppin Crist'?
Why them bullets have to hit that door?
Why did Kobe have to hit that raw? Why he kiss that whore?
Why?
Why would niggaz push pounds and powder?
Why did bush knock down the towers? Why you around them cowards?
Why Aaliyah have to take that flight?
Why my nigga D ain't pull out his Ferrari? Why he take that bike?
Why they gotta open your package and read your mail?
Why they stop lettin' niggaz get degreez in jail?
Why you gotta do eighty-five percent of your time?
And why do niggaz lie in eighty-five percent of they rhymes?
Why a nigga always want what he can't have?
Why I can't come through in the pecan Jag?
Why did crack have to hit so hard?
Even though it's almost over why niggaz can't get no jobs?
Why they come up wit the witness protection?
Why they let the terminator win the election? Come on, pay attention
Why sell in the stores what you can sell in the streets?
Why I say the hottest shit but we sellin' the least?
Why Halle have to let a white man pop her to get a Oscar?
Why Denzel have to be crooked before he took it?
Why they didn't make the CL6 wit a clutch?
And if you don't smoke why the hell you reachin' for my dutch?
Why rap, cause I need air time?
Why be on the curb wit a "why lie I need a beer" sign?
Why all the young niggaz is dyin'?
Cause they moms at work, they pops is gone, they livin' wit iron?
Why they ain't give us a cure for aids?
Why my diesel have fiends in the spot on the floor for days?
Why you screamin' like it's slug, it's only the hawk?
Why my buzz in L.A. ain't like it is in New York?
Why you forcin' you to be hard? Why ain't you a thug by choice?
Why the whole world love my voice?
Why try to tell 'em that it's the flow son?
And you know why they made the new twenties? Cause I got all my old ones.
That's why.

Killah Priest - B.I.B.L.E. (Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth)
Verse One:
Knowledge this wisdom this goes back when I was twelve
I loved doing right but I was trapped in hell
Had mad ideas, sad eyes and tears
Years of fears, but yo my foes couldn't bear
I searched for the truth since my youth
And went to church since birth, but it wasn't worth the loot
that I was paying, plus the praying
I didn't like staying cuz of busy-bodies and dizzy hotties
That the preacher had souped up with lies
Had me cooped up lookin at loot, butt, and thighs
Durin the service, he swallowed up the poor
And after they heard this, they wallowed on the floor
But I ignored, and explored my history that was untold
And watched mysteries unfold
And dropped a jewel like Solomon, but never followed men
cause if you do your brain is more hollow than
Space oblivia, or the abyss
With no trace of trivia, left with the hiss
Does it pay to be deaf, dumb and blind?
From a slave we was kept from the mind
And from the caves he crept from behind
And what he gave, was the sect of the swine
When the bible, it condemned the pig
I don't mean to pull your hems or flip your qigs
But we used to wear a turban, but now we're in the urban
No more wearing beanies and dress like a genie
No hocus pocus cause I focus on the facts
And put it on the tracks and brought it through the wax
I speak on Jacob, it might take up some time
And too much knowledge, it might break up the rhyme
I did it anyway just to wake up the mind
of those who kiss stones or prays on the carpet
Those who sit home, or sell books by the market
Need to chill and get their mind revived
For years religion did nothing but divide
The basic instructions before leaving earth
Verse Two:
I strolled through the books of Job to unfold
And open bibles, instead of hoping on revivals
Calling on His name and screaming hallelujah
when he hardly knew ya, that's how the devil's fooled ya
See look into my eyes brethren, that's the lies of a Reverand
Why should you die to go to heaven?
The Earth is already in space, the bible I embrace
A difficult task I had to take
I studied till my eyes was swollen, and only arose when
I found out that we were the chosen
I deal with the truth, and build with the youth
And teach my son as he kneels on the stoop
Son, life is a pool of sin, corrupted with foolish men
and women with wicked minds, who build picket signs
to legalize abortion, the evil eye distortion
I quiz Son with my wisdom
Before I converted, I was perverted, and knowledge was asserted
The study of wisdom, I perferred it
The understanding, it gave me mental freedom
I even learnt Caucasians were really the Tribe of Edam
The white image, of Christ, is really Cesare Borgia
and uhh, the second son of Pope Alexander
The Sixth of Rome, and once the picture was shown
That's how the devils tricked my dome
I prophesized to save a man, but no one gave a damn
for my nation - the seed of Abraham
Blessed with the tongue of Hebrew
Now we're strung on needles, and some are plungin evils
So study and be wise in these days of darkness
Peace to my nephew Marcus

What about Little Brother "Away From Me" or "Doin' Me" those are some real life issues, dealing with your baby mamma must be tough
