This song is my week. Just was. The whole album has a just has crazy good story to tell, and here’s a review with some other lyrics too. Blu is way talented. I first heard through Jay Smooth from Ill Doctrine that it might be the best hip-hop album of the year.

I only talk from my heart
so open yours when your listening
every man has his own heaven
the difference is the way that he envisions it so….
if you make your heaven pictureless
by the time you die youll be drifting in an imageless field

so fill your heaven full of blessing thoughts
thats real
you could stress it or just let it walk
I got a question if a man can make his own heaven
then can he make his path to get to it too

Lyrics.

And, if you haven’t seen yet: Robert Putnam said that young people are losing their religion, but in terms of people’s lives I know this has been going on for years. And not an easy change. So, I’m not sure how important it is that Putnam says it, too, because it’s already happening. Welcome to the “knowing this is happening club.” It didn’t happen like that for me; and it kind of sucked to be there alone for a while. As for what’s happening now, I think people are building back up social capital in innovative ways; I’m guessing that’s the innovation he’s talking about in the article.

People, it’s time to come out of the woodwork…
