A new photo and hip-hop lyric, everyday. All photos taken by Karlyle. Enjoy!

Arlo Parks – Eugene

Hey, I know I’ve been a little bit off and that’s my mistake
I kind of fell half in love and you’re to blame
I guess I just forgot that we’ve been mates since day
Yeah, I don’t know what to say
Hey, I know I’ve been a little bit off and that’s my mistake
I kind of fell half in love and you’re to blame
I guess I just forgot that we’ve been mates since day
Yeah, I don’t know what to say

Nosaj Thing Ft. Toro y Moi – Try

For you and me, I’ll be tryin’ always
Don’t let it get to you for now
I know I’m runnin’ this time I’ll try
Don’t you tell and you just eyes closed

I know I treat you right
I know I did you wrong
I know I did you wrong
I know I treat you right

Lukas Graham – 7 Years

Once I was 20 years old, my story got told
I was writing ’bout everything, I saw before me
Once I was 20 years old
Soon we’ll be 30 years old, our songs have been sold
We’ve traveled around the world and we’re still roaming
Soon we’ll be 30 years old

Dillon Francis Ft. BabyJake – You Do You

We’re both so far gone (Gone)
Can’t tell right from
(Wrong) Wrong, (Wrong) wrong
(Wrong) Wrong, (Wrong) believe me, oh
(Wrong) Wrong, (Wrong) wrong
(Wrong) Wrong, I’ll do me and you do you

Mobb Deep – Rare Species (Modus Operandi)

Yo, however do u want, however do you need P
My Mobb bring it back to life, back to reality
You walk a fine line playin wit mine, the greatest story ever told in rhyme
We climax in ninety-five, wit demo raw raps is knives
To skin all ya’ll cats alive
Take your time don’t rush the clock, Infamous rock for good now
Pass like my duns on lock holdin the pot down slow
But assuringly, spoon-feeding these
Starvin ass heads catchin shakes, feenishly
I ball in this, word assortin this, probably recording this
Of course kids keepin they sights upon this
Exclusiveness, like some new type of kicks
We got them things fixed, passed the wrong man in my click
You get charged wit intent to kick that bullshhh
Welcome to the ledge of this whole shhh

Yo, we the men for the operation
You know the M-O, B-B’s, warrior style, rare species
Catch us on your block , on your wide-screen tv’s
From Jones Beach to over-seas from over there
It’s right back to the beats, longevity so all the great-grandseeds eat

Nicki Minaj – Half Back

Ayo, just last week I told ’em they run done
My legacy could never be undone
I’m a prodigy, R.I.P Thun-Thun

Hunter Hayes – Everybody’s Got Somebody But Me

I wish the couple on the corner would just get a room
Seems like everyone around me’s on their honeymoon
I’d love to take a pin to a heart-shaped balloon
Everybody’s got somebody but me

Phillip Phillips – Gone, Gone, Gone

And I will do it for you, for you
Baby, I’m not moving on
I’ll love you long after you’re gone
For you, for you
You will never sleep alone
I’ll love you long after you’re gone
And long after you’re gone, gone, gone

Drake – Elevate

Elevate, elevate
Only obligation is to tell it straight
Me and all the guys found a better way
This a life bid we can never separate
I’m in bed awake, thinkin’ how’d I make
All this happen for myself and my family
All this happen for myself and my family
There’s no way that this is real, man, it can’t be

twenty one pilots – Trees ​

I know where you stand
Silent in the trees
And that’s where I am
Silent in the trees
Why won’t you speak
Where I happen to be?
Silent in the trees
Standing cowardly

Lukas Graham – Mama Said

When Mama said that it was okay
Mama said that it was quite alright
Our kind of people had a bed for the night
And it was okay
Mama told us we were good kids
And Daddy told us never listen to the ones
Pointing nasty fingers and making fun
‘Cause we were good kids

Five For Fighting – 100 Years

15 there’s still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose
15, there’s never a wish better than this
When you only got a hundred years to live

Corey Hart – Sunglasses at Night

I wear my sunglasses at night
So I can, so I can
Watch you weave then breathe your story lines
And I wear my sunglasses at night
So I can, so I can
Keep track of the visions in my eyes

Solange – Stay Flo

Take it all down, they gon’ feel it on the day
Take it all home and they feel it all the way

Tears for Fears – Mad World

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I wanna drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow

BTS – ON

I can’t understand what people are sayin’
어느 장단에 맞춰야 될지
한 발자국 떼면 한 발자국 커지는 shadow
잠에서 눈을 뜬 여긴 또 어디
어쩜 서울 또 New York or Paris
일어나니 휘청이는 몸

Calvin Harris Ft. Migos & Frank Ocean – Slide

Do you slide on all your nights like this?
Do you try on all your nights like this? (I might)
Put some spotlight on the slide
Whatever comes, comes through clear
Do you slide on all your nights like this?
Do you try on all your nights like this? (I might)
Put some spotlight on the side
And whatever comes, comes through clear (Uh)

Diana Ross – A Mother’s Love

A mother’s love is forever
A mother’s love is for free
It doesn’t matter if you’re good or bad
She’s there for whatever you need
In the world of fantasy
Hold on to your dreams
Open up your heart and see
All the love you need is me

J. Cole – No Role Modelz

No role models and I’m here right now
No role models to speak of
Searchin’ through my memory, my memory, I couldn’t find one

Daft Punk Ft. Nile Rodgers & Pharrell Williams – Get Lucky

She’s up all night to the sun, I’m up all night to get some
She’s up all night for good fun, I’m up all night to get lucky
We’re up all night to the sun, we’re up all night to get some
We’re up all night for good fun, we’re up all night to get lucky
We’re up all night to get lucky, we’re up all night to get lucky
We’re up all night to get lucky, we’re up all night to get lucky

Billie Eilish – No Time To Die

That I’d fallen for a lie
You were never on my side
Fool me once, fool me twice
Are you death or paradise?
Now you’ll never see me cry
There’s just no time to die

Nico & Vinz – Am I Wrong

Am I wrong for thinkin’ out the box from where I stay?
Am I wrong for sayin’ that I choose another way?
I ain’t tryin’ to do what everybody else doin’
Just ’cause everybody doin’ what they all do
If one thing I know – I’ll fall, but I’ll grow
I’m walking down this road of mine, this road that I call home

So am I wrong
For thinkin’ that we could be something for real?
Now am I wrong
For tryin’ to reach the things that I can’t see?
But that’s just how I feel (Ooh, ooh)
That’s just how I feel (Ooh, ooh)
That’s just how I feel
Trying to reach the things that I can’t see (Ooh, ooh, see, see)

The Beatles – Taxman

Should five percent appear too small
Be thankful I don’t take it all

‘Cause I’m the taxman
Yeah, I’m the taxman

Calvin Harris Ft. Florence Welch – Sweet Nothing

So I put my faith in something unknown
I’m living on such sweet nothing
But I’m trying to hope with nothing to hold
I’m living on such sweet nothing
And it’s hard to learn, and it’s hard to love
When you’re giving me such sweet nothing
Sweet nothing, sweet nothing
You’re giving me such sweet nothing

Sampha – Treasure

I was somewhere two thousand and daydream
I was hot that I couldn’t face things
I used to live my life in this
I fell out of sync, audio phasing
Felt like I couldn’t find my placing

Sky shivers there
They turn to rain
I turn again
I wish we could heal
I’ll take you home
I’ll make you whole
You made me wish
That this wasn’t real

Because you’re
You’re my treasure
Because you’re
You’re my treasure

Chaka Demus & Pliers – Murder She Wrote

I know this little girl, her name is Maxine
Her beauty is like a bunch of rose
If I ever tell you about Maxine
You only say I don’t know what I know (but)
Murder she wrote (for real, for real)
Murder she wrote
Murder she wrote
Murder she wrote

dwilly Ft. Wyatt & Tia Scola – If you only knew ​

If you only knew, all my problems
I’m pretty sure you would’ve run off
If I only knew, how to solve ’em
I’d give you all to me, swear I’d do anything
To find a way
To make it go away
If you only knew, all my problems
Would you still want to stay?
